You've done your part taken for granted turned in time
Make this right, I gave up, now give up
Everything we ever wanted stayed the same
Broken bones and cracked skulls feel like sore thumbs and headaches.
To the nail sticking up that gets hammered down.
Blood burning bright upon ripped lips tastes like the end of inertia and the start of our lives.
These days, I can't be asked to worry about where the personas have gone
Whether or not they've ever made sense or to care what they were originally based on
And all of my good sense has fallen through cracks and left its mark in other places far deeper than I could ever imagine
No one here gets out alive
420 to fill it up.

The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey

Know how Matthew Stewart talks about being in the right place and right time? This is the right place and the right time, no matter the decade you were born in. Closed hands, open arms, notjing you have ever thought will be worthless, after hearing it repeated from these guys. Their sadness saved us from anything worse than death.
