LYRICS:
Here, we’re just stuck in the spotlight
We should make like shadows and disappear
Silhouettes in the sunset, our final curtain call is drawing near
If parting is such sweet sorrow, to hell with waiting for tomorrow
Hand in hand like we planned, as the night takes us away
And I hope when they find me and you in this tomb built for two
They get the glory for the end of our story, and take their fucking bows
So remember us, the soon dearly departed
And how the war our fathers started
Sealed the fate of star-crossed enemies
You and I both know that death won’t matter
Bring on the poison and the dagger
They set the stage for tragedy
Don’t scream, ‘cause the show must go on
Though our fairytale is ripping at the seams
But love doesn’t have to be something that we hide behind the scenes
If parting is such sweet sorrow, to hell with waiting for tomorrow
Side by side when we die, as the night takes us away
And I hope when they find me and you in this tomb built for two
They get the glory for the end of our story, and take their fucking bows
So remember us, the soon dearly departed
And how the war our fathers started
Sealed the fate of star-crossed enemies
You and I both know that death won’t matter
Bring on the poison and the dagger
They set the stage for tragedy

*headbangs to Romeo and Juliet*

[@Xpwnxage]

Here, we're just stuck in the spotlight

[@Shroomlet]

I love the screams, but having an INK song with purely clean vocals is refreshing.

[@willbelland1730]

BewilderedToad u right

[@ILikeFlippyCarsAndSlugsInJars]

BewilderedToad my gf hates screams which sucks cause INK is my fave band but she loves this song

[@jscottgp2011]

Read this comment at 2:15 into the song, guess that means there’ll be no screams from that point either lol

[@yesh6545]

they always do one or two song that doesn't involve screams in every album

[@luxfyre]

I agree. Spencer is such a good clean vocalist. As cool as the screams are, I cant help but gravitate towards songs like this.

[@gabrielahemmings]

I wish there was a music video for this song it would be so beautiful

[@EdfuegoKnight]

That's what I'm sayin.

[@EchoIXSoul]

the music video would litterally probably be the romeo and juliet play with INK in the background. lol thatd be funny if they were like dressed in the clothing that fits the time

[@dillongregory6985]

Intergalacticsquishy I would get like a "the only way to girls heart is through her ribcage" vibe from the video. 😂

[@Daniel123939]

And at a party for Romeo & Juliet, like the one where they first meet

[@game_masterariana]

Agreed

[@AmberGWoods]

this entire record is fucking phenomenal

[@Sabertooth411]

Most... underrated Metalcore Band ever! Together with Jinjer :)

[@TheForeverUndead1]

This album is their most creative with their writing and this song is their best lyrically. Though all the other songs are written well this one lyrically stands out

[@josephm.4480]

I heard this before I read Romeo & Juliet We recently read it in English and every once in a while I'd be like "Oh hey! That was in Star-Crossed Enemies!" "Parting is such sweet sorrow" "Soon dearly departed" The curtain call is probably a reference to the fact that Romeo & Juliet is a play.

[@owenhoward9242]

you could analyse the whole play with this song

[@tiredcatlady]

I'm a little sad, that i just found out about them like few months ago... i love this song it shares its first place on my top 5 songs of INK with funeral derangements :D

[@mr.keiser4259]

INK has been a favorite of mine for ages! I remember back in the days saying “man I wish these guys blew the fuck up they’re super talented.” I am beyond happy to see that Spencer’s vision for the band has finally reached that audience he always aimed for. Since way back it was clear he was willing to take the band into a story telling type of band and they finally found their niche plus they blew the fuck up after almost two decades. This song particularly is one of my favorites by them. The record dropped in December 2015 and for Valentine’s they had exclusive merch and one of the longsleeve has art and lyrics about this song. I doubt we’ll ever see that again, but I can say I’m the proud owner of one of those longsleeves and is literally one of my favorite pieces of band merch to this day so much so that I barely wear it lmao

[@shadowwilson7282]

Welcome to the club

[@Xpwnxage]

Better late than never

[@game_masterariana]

I also found out about them about a year ago. I wish I would’ve found them earlier

[@johnx140]

@@mr.keiser4259 this is so wholesome omg

[@nxyx9000]

Don’t scream, ‘cause the show must go on famous last word pop in my head for that split second XD

[@christine3234]

same here XD

[@insprage2035]

I'm a little late but fucking same

[@ness4966]

I saw so many comments about a song called "Drown" I thought they meant "Drown" by Get Scared and I was like: BRUH HOW DOES IT SOUND ALIKE But it's from a different band whoops aND THE SHOW MUST GO ON? DID I JUST HEAR THAT OML

[@isaacandbella]

@Dexter Hynes don't put out great music anymore? INK is coming off their biggest record yet, they're at their peak! and BMTH is putting out 4 different amazing EP's within the year! they definitely are still putting out great music

[@aaronsnyder9938]

these guys are so diverse in their music. listening to them makes me want to be a better musician myself. they just get better every album.

[@krystaenloe1356]

Where was this song two years ago when I read romeo and juliet in english 😂

[@josephchavis9566]

Looking back at this song in particular. Listening to it rn in this very moment understanding everything single lyric. I just wanna say I sometimes can’t hold back the tears and be the tough person I wanna be and for a few minutes I’m more human than ever and I’m in touch with my humanity. This song touches my soul each and every time I hear it and imma let it make me cry a few more times so I can be stronger day to day. Ice nine kills and many other bands just like you saved my life. ✊✊✊✊

[@physco1872]

if you read the lyrics it is literally romeo and Juliet its really cool

[@the.edgyhippie]

am I the only one who cried??? cause i love this beautiful play but this song just made it 13451034 times more beautiful

[@fancyherobrine3479]

I did too TuT

[@pivarikejriwal4883]

Ohgod yes, I never realised the beginning sounds like Drown but why is that a big deal?? I love both bands, and its not like they're plagiarising music. The concept for this album is very original and new. I have so much respect for them.

[@MatthewMan]

Been looking for a comment to agree with me, finally found it.

[@vulpesinculta6647]

"We should make like shadows and disappear" I dont know how many times I repeated that part.

[@randyfreshour5958]

Language Arts-core? Literature-core? Nope! Just Ice Nine Kills

[@nickodom5962]

INK-core Charnas-core

[@phantomtearsca]

They call it "Theatricore". Seems pretty fucking accurate.

[@amberturdsturd5967]

Its theatricore. And they do it exceptionally well. They stick with it and the songs they produce are phenomenal. Not to mention when Spencer feels like slipping in a pun here and there

[@imperialcub7071]

I sang this song today in class as a karaoke challenge to me by the teacher. Nailed it 100%

[@Rem-ux7wk]

One of the best slower songs they got

[@Baphomet_420]

Does anyone still even listen to this? I sure as hell do. It's still a banger for me.

[@eduardoperezveras6903]

I love how they can keep total coherence in their lyrics besides of the actual literal based lyrics. Great Job Ice Nine Kills :3

[@federicadesantis312]

the fact that this song is inspired by Romeo and Juliet make it just better than it is

[@syndicate0.03]

Best song in this album

[@Sabertooth411]

I want this played at my wedding

[@DaltonHartgrove]

The feels in this album. Ice Nine Kills does not disappoint.

[@Mikedaman0021]

AND TAKE THEIR F*CKING BOWS! Take a bow, INK!

[@zachhudnall6931]

wow really what a spoiler I haven't seen Romeo & Juliet yet

[@itsjustchuckiehere]

I can hear the BMTH vibe, but it sounds nothing like them. Those bands are completely different. I mean, so what if it sounds like them. It isnt going to affect the way they play. lol

[@yds2m]

i can genuinely only hear it in the opening

[@honeybadger098]

Deluxe Version needs this acoustic version

[@skylarb3795]

going to playing this song on replay-love the melody and depth to the lyrics in these new ones.

[@DSHalfDemon]

This song is amazing. A perfect song for the beautiful and tragic story of romeo and juliet. This whole album is just perfect. You can feel when bands run out of great songs and just make 1 or 2 more decent songs to fill up the album. But this whole album just fits. Not a single song that shouldn't be on this album. INK is another fine example of a band that never changes they just improve with age.

[@am4peace964]

I don't think I could be more in love with these lyrics, this album is amazing!!

[@ThiVids]

The song themes and how they match with the song are just soooo goood!

[@brycestephenson1696]

The fact that they put Romeo And Juliet into a very amazing song. Reasons you can't help but love INK

[@boydcrowder5034]

Fantastic

[@agustinagunn7830]

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG😍

[@DingleBerryLord]

This so made me feel so many things. Bless this good music. INK you've outdone yourself

[@gerardmccarthy7831]

The lyrics in this song are so powerful. God bless INK

[@huntersmith7692]

This song has to be one of my favorites! Such a great song and I love how it is inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Ice Nine Kills is my favorite band and I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future! ❤

[@ldaily9749]

Great lyrics for this song...the new album is sounding huge!

[@user-qn5ok5cp1x]

HELLO BRING ON THE HEAVY CHUGGING AND AGGRESSIVE VOCALS THAT GET ME THROUGH MY SHITTY LIFE

[@jonmaudlin5211]

agreed

[@lawrencewhite4596]

I agree on that one vocals need to be heavier

[@gabes.1111]

Listen to Whitechapel then, they are amazing on a whole new level

[@asherjordan4399]

odd ri Listen to King 810, some of their stuff is amazingly heavy.

[@amberwaldridge3915]

odd ri I love you

[@grantrobison6132]

This is why I love ink...they do whatever tf they want and it sounds good

[@BeautifulEnigma.]

Amazing

this is so good

[@stevekuharski1508]

I can see this being their best song ever

[@Pretty988Gurl]

sooooo goood

[@niccarter2802]

Never regret listening to ink's songs

[@Emo-Otaku66]

Such a great song based on an overrated piece of literature Like it always annoyed me when people say they want a Romeo and Juliet kind of romance (just like those people who want a Joker and Harley Quinn romance) I'm sure if they actually read the story, they would change their mind in a heart beat

[@hunterchestnut5566]

Emo Otaku preach man

[@N00bie666]

Emo Otaku I seriously cannot like this comment enough

[@toxicpositivity9341]

Emo Otaku It's a beautiful piece of literature in my opinion. Lovers that would rather die than have to be separated, and in the end, make that sacrifice. Now, I do agree that it is stupid to want that kind of relationship lol.

[@lanetaylor3100]

Emo Otaku Would anyone want a romeo and juliet romance? Of course not, but that doesn't make it a bad piece of literature. Its a great a revolutionary piece of literature, theres a reason why its studied and still heralded as a classic to this day.

[@mr.keiser4259]

Tbh yeah but still is a revolutionary piece of literature that everyone should read at least once in their lives. But hey I get that schools fucking teach this story to kids waaaayyyyy too much (I had to read it for 3 straight years and by my freshman year of high school fucking knew the story by memory)

[@devinnadell9032]

first song that's actually made me tear up in a long time.

[@adamacedo3124]

if only schools could make English/literature classes could make books and novel stories as fun as this

[@TozziS-cr6qt]

Fyi I'm in love with spencer

[@snowdevil3671]

Inspired by Romeo and Juliet...well this is the song I have at the top of my favorite list now.

[@TheSidewaystm]

Exactly what I was thinking. " you and I both know that death won't matter bring on the poison and the dagger."

[@crimsonvalentine5081]

this is actually a cool song

[@singinggamer6858]

This is great guys. I'd buy the album.

[@rachelkrats5569]

So excited there going to warped tour 😍😭

[@fjdi]

🔥

[@darksniper5776]

Woh , hermosa cancion :D

[@justinparigen9879]

this whole album is fucking incredible. have had it on repeat

[@DavidCruz-ir7nc]

is a amazing 😻

[@mellow1574]

My new fav band!

[@achilles2569]

got them feels

[@robinWrath16]

woww i like this song :)

[@derekvieira9041]

star crossed enemies is brilliant for lyrics

[@OrunitaVivi]

This is so emo x I'm gushing blood ♥️♥️♥️

[@Jerichotnacage]

This is my second favorite song from 'Every Trick in the Book', the beginning of the song reminds me of Drown by Bring Me The Horizon but every story meaning INK has put to a song is very theatrical. It's an awesome masterpiece

[@willysix8079]

2021 & this smacks

[@Pretty988Gurl]

welp I just found this band and damn why are they so fucking good. love a the songs.

[@quashadbackus1666]

Should have played this song in my high school ela class while reading the book. Good times.

[@REMI-kun]

The reason it reminds people of drown is due to little melody in the beginning and the quick transition from the intro to the verse.

[@andrewtricker2842]

this song is probably my favorite song by INK ( SAVAGES from TSS is close). This is the only song I have memorized. this helped me ace my ninth grade English class.

[@ireallyneedtosneezebutican3199]

why did i only discover about INK only now wHY JUST WHY

[@ladygorgon5097]

The phandom is everywhere

[@SkyeReim]

first is indeed like drown, but then boom you will love it

[@kierhatch7322]

"it sounds like the beginning of drown" and that's a bad thing?

[@wornoutnj2326]

+Kier Hatch I honestly heard more of a The Story So Far riff.

[@mrpants1989]

+Kier Hatch I can see what you mean because they are in the same key and everything but the notes aren't in the same order.

[@N30KID]

+Kier Hatch Except this is better than drown, even tho I like both songs

[@dang8126]

tbh to me it sounds more like Sleepwalking by BMTH than drown. even the drums in the beginning of this song closely resembles the ones in Sleepwalking

[@nickodom5962]

INK is leagues ahead of BMTH

[@Pale_Emperor15]

A song that doesn't make Romeo and Juliet all pretty but more Real to life and true This song really shows it off and only ink Makes it good

[@greatagain3922]

🙏

[@marcinczyzewski5021]

My favourite song from album^^ and one of the best they have ever made and best album. Even i like so much heavier songs by Ice Nine Kills, this one is so beautiful. It reminds me in many parts old INK from their first album after ska-punk era:D.Who remember it?

[@Mikedaman0021]

I do!!

[@Bianca-gg9fb]

♡♡♡

[@briannapabers4471]

im seeing more comments on how this isnt like drown over the ones that say it is

[@Tanzu15]

Famous last words vibes all over.

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

As a noob to INK , after hearing Communion of the Cursed and Hell in the Hallways and Me, Myself and Hyde this is a bit of a shock. And I've learned that if I ever find a similar band to INK, never start with their Punk Goes Pop material, if they've done anything of the sort

[@emoash999]

ive heard one complaint about this album so far omg

[@chloeychloey1396]

this is such a good song though

[@kingkrysen]

I get Fall Out Boy vibes in this song 🤘🏼🎸🥁

[@SorryItzAsh]

sounds like drown xD

[@ElectricWater0]

ikr XD the beginning rightt

+Bow To Murderous Yankiis Towering From Void totally man

[@arthurramalho1297]

True asf

[@kirasealed4373]

OMFG YEAAAA

[@CptPoodlehats]

+SorryItzAsh Doesn't even sound like it at all haha. Different tone, different VST's, different arrangement of notes.

[@honeydoll8128]

Fucking love this

[@DilpreetTumber]

We're analysing Romeo and Juliet in my English class and I really wanna play this in class lol

[@willbelland1730]

make a music video for this plzzz

[@joaquin12348]

How can this song have any dislikes tho its so beautiful and deep

[@graveyardbabybrinkfangirl4234]

I sing this to my boyfriend alot

[@jlowe92]

people for fuck sakes stop asking if this is about romeo and juliet, it says it on the fucking video!

[@tommychambliss7805]

romeo and Juliet deserve a music video not just Carrie and the exorcist

[@misterioluna]

Famous Last Words reference?
