We'll bring you to your knees,
You can not see something you can not please.
I met a girl with predictable ways.
Open doors, yeah she's here to stay.
Come clean, just open your mind.
Shut those legs girl it's closing time.
Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.
You see these hospital walls are full from the bodies of all the dead.
It's spreading around the room just like, wants to be fed.
Bloody hands stop beating hearts.
We'll bring you to your knees, how can you be something you can not see?
We'll bring you to your knees, how can you see something you can not please?
Black, block out the sun, blot out your eyes, pray for the ones you love.
The sun, runs from the sky, beg for your life, pray for the ones you love.
Block out the sun, we'll block out your eyes, pray for daylight.
Your time has come, this is the get off, I can't give up now.
Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.
It's all in your head.
If you see it, just close those blue eyes like you mean it

A time capsule of a bygone era. Those who weren’t around in this scene will never, ever understand. It was never a phase- it’s a lifestyle. ♥️🙏🏽

[@DontMatter7]

Exactly! I was at the tail end of it. 25 yrs old atm but I was able to hit Warped Tour in 2014 and experience some of this iconic Era luckily. Wish it would come back or go back in time

[@Wussel_Restbrook]

came out when i was 13, im 27 and still one of my fav songs. that chorus just does something to me

[@temporalcasualty]

This is the best song they ever made

[@jordanoak7414]

Agreed

[@arturocaballero1480]

Preference

[@cld2k1]

mehh second and sebring and then this

[@thelazorproject5070]

I feel like Shay always gave emotion to every song he sang with OM&M and Dayshell now, but he made every song special

[@rhubarbspatula]

Put away the pills come waste away with me. That sentence is pure beauty.

[@1kiloh]

especially when it comes after a line such as “shut those legs girl, it’s closing time”

[@whocaress444]

In computer class high school on grooveshark first song I found and was hooked🔥🔥🔥

[@user-vo6kj6cl6w]

Good times listening to this undergrad. Oh faithful...

[@rapturews]

Probably my favorite song by OM&M.

[@GrimerYT]

2024, still head banging to this heavy ass song

[@emanuel.jimenez88]

The most beautiful clean vocal chorus i've heard

[@ayushvasurudragour427]

you would love dayshell. ITs a separate band from the clean vocalist Shayley Bourget.

[@emanuel.jimenez88]

Ayush Gour thx for your recomendation :D

[@hassansaeed3053]

Agreed. Shayley is the best clean vocalist PERIOD

[@wneels]

the clean vocals in this genre are better than any music on the planet. Imagine if bands like this made whole songs singing vs just the last track of their albums. These bands are the best musicians on the planet.

[@thomastregenza6073]

I remember jamming this all the time back in 2010 and 2011. I listen to this album simply for the nostalgia now. I still like it, but it just seems like a part of my memory now. I miss 7th grade.

[@BrucifyMe]

That's something I've always found both sad and fascinating about music. Its transition from being a "current" song for you, to being just part of a memory that you revisit.

[@jaytheali3n]

When my friend said she didn't like Of Mice & Men, I was like: "The lord is testing me -.-"

[@jaytheali3n]

*****​ I wont force her to like them. I respect all of my friends opinions and beliefs. I was just surprised she liked Black Veil Brides and not Of Mice & Men.

[@Hezerion]

Miyuki Yoshida bvb and OM&M have different styles

[@frankieflowaz]

Hezerion yeah styles are bvb blows n om&m dont , also bvb is emo as fuck

[@s7vnexes336]

Cs Barbarian doesn't

[@frankieflowaz]

im ghetto havnt you heard :P

[@AdamArtz]

That breakdown is fucking brutal.

[@AdamArtz]

Oliver-Vic Carquinn lol hey and yeah basically I'm everywhere in the metalcore scene

[@AdamArtz]

Oliver-Vic Carquinn Haha, even on "Stick Stickly" I managed to imitiate the synth to "TUTUTUTUTUTUTU" or "DUMDUDMDUMUDMUDUMDUM". I'm basically everywhere. Check out the songs he did on "Mishead Lyrics", I basically post what I can

[@EffectedEarth]

Adam Artz you want to hear brutal breakdowns? Listen to AngelMaker

[@H.E.M.]

Which one? 😂 I’m pretty you mean 2:20

[@colbypowers2923]

How can one even compete with this greatness

[@Joe-xu8uk]

They can't.

[@OfTheDevilToRemember]

Forever my favorite song by Of Mice. I miss this.

[@alyssa_blackheart]

ive always been obsessed with this song

[@XZYLOSavage]

This album, although I overplayed both of the first 2, will never get old man.

[@mattmagee3144]

+Artist Culture There is no way to over play these first two albums if they didn't real ease restoring force they would of still been my favorite band Austin and shayley along with jaxin make for such an awesome band not saying i hate alan but they are a lot tighter live with jaxin shay and phil on strings

[@salvest3rr]

Restoring force is incredible as well i wont stand for this slander

[@stevewest2849]

songs 8 & 9 back to back are pure bliss

[@jaredtaylor8900]

This album made summer of 2010 one of the best of my youth.

[@ZyYouNG97]

My favorite song

[@brhelekm]

absolutely the best OM&M song!!

[@foxnsage]

Back in 2023 🌿🍵

[@mario650]

Man brings back memories of High School. Good times and vibes OM&M brought 🤘🏻

[@DjJesusDied4UrSpins]

Possibly the most legendary chorus I've heard in years.

[@VibratorPoliceisgod]

YOUR SILLY SAUCE PAN OF WALL SAUCE FELL

[@GrimerYT]

This is an old comment but now I can’t unhear this

[@josepauloricafrente1089]

Will always be my fav in their self-titled album. NOSTALGIC.

[@deraldmitzee5868]

This song got me into this band, my friend play this song at cyber cafe while im smoking outside, ahh nostalgia

[@jenniferbrat]

When this first came out, I thought it would make a great music video... I still think it would be a great music video. Is it just me? Tino's drumming was fucking amazing, especially the end. Phil outdid himself as well. I think the only reason this doesn't have as many views is because everyone's just listening to the more over-exposed songs by OM&M like Second & Sebring, This One's For You, and more recently, You're Not Alone, etc, and they don't take the time to listen to each song in previous albums.

[@naijynx]

I agree 100%

[@neubatron600]

this happens to be my favorite song, i listen to it every day and i was hoping when they first released the album that they would make a video for this one but sadly they did not.. so i have dealt with seeing Jerry Roush every time i listen to one of my favorite songs

[@leodaboss2169]

Definitely would be a great music video!!!

[@neubatron600]

They wont make videos for old songs :( makes me sad.. i wish they mad this video before they made the video for Those in Glass Houses

[@bouldilox8986]

2024 n def agree .. this album has some of the best shit they ever dropped.. ydg, they don’t call it the south for no reason , farewell to shady glade , seven thousand miles for what..

[@Adrian_Martinez1261]

2:45 - 3:15 BEST PART OF THE SONG. My favorite OM&M song

[@forzaA-v5n]

Dayshell former of mice & men kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZiqqaKpbbd5gq8

[@kittsy9945]

This song still gives me chills

[@blibblab222]

i literally only found this song because one of my friends is called tommy clayton and we searched each other’s names on youtube lol

[@skeeeeeezyyy]

Holy nostalgia. Shayleys writing was fkking incredible. Still is in Dayshell!

[@EstheticianBrittanyRenee]

4 years later and this song STILL doesn't have near the views that their newer, toned down way better version of this album has. Logic, what was that again?! -.-

[@Mlink187]

Brittany Tucker how do you think I feel looking at this in 2019

[@serafingalvan5919]

Millz Rodrick and me in 2020

[@Alsax1985]

The best Of Mice & Men song... bar none.

[@GunnaBfamous1]

"Shut those legs girl it's closing time"

[@sithhunter12]

"...shut those legs girls it closing time..." woah, amazing lyrics!

[@cresentdemon123]

0:43 sooooo fucking epic Jesus.

[@TheMightyFuChan]

This is my favorite song

[@funofme]

i didnt realize about how much i love this song until i was randomly singing it xD

[@angelofwar9223]

This band was phenomenal

[@tylernixon687]

Man.....1 member leaves and it all goes away. The memories of this band with these members.....

[@Horzydood]

Such a good album

[@Justdance6336]

Yes they added the lyrics to the vids of the songs from the first albums 😁👍🏻

[@ptvxmackgreen9464]

Honestly, the song is easy and fun to play guitar. Most Of Mice songs aren't hard, and there's lots of room to write my own lead parts or solos while playing them. I love how creative they've always been though, one of my all time favorite bands. Lots of love for them, always!

[@kristenellis8992]

2021 and to me, this song is still on par with classical masterpieces. This song needs to be preformed in opera or orchestra. Every time I listen I am astonished.

[@CauldronOfWeird]

This came up on my shuffle this morning, I forgot how god damn good this song is

[@sidology1.0]

This was always such a good album. The drums at the end is just phenomenal

[@XxLightningXxHopexX]

The replay button was rapped for the past 2 hours .

[@cptjackdrummer1]

Austin is a motherloving God!!!! best clean screams at concerts,easily favorite screamer

[@drummerx941]

most played song on my ipod!

[@gracierose9602]

You can tell this is dominantly Shayleys writing instrumentally and lyrically, it's one of the best songs on this album.

[@trashthethrasher]

Yes.

[@Derdds]

I got a headset with bass adjustment for christmas. I didn't think OM&M could sound better than they already did!

[@ImOteps1Fan]

amazing!

[@TheFTSKBABE]

this is the song that made me fall in love with this band

[@jacquelinemunoz800]

Old times rules.

[@mariaabbruscato3384]

[@MixcenyDusk]

Literally one of my favourite songs by them.

[@WesMan282]

[@Matthew20595]

This is such an awesome song. I like the chorus alot. It all fits in nicely

[@TimmyTurner421]

This is the only Mice & Men song I listen to. Such a good song. According to my PC the first time I listened to it was summer 2013

[@hailybalanzar2811]

[@imarockinpanda]

[@willitogarrett8255]

this song is too awesome especially the chorus

[@donte10111]

10 years!?!

[@patrickd0403]

I saw the band post asking what OM&M was peoples fav, & this will always be my favorite

[@spaceadditude]

this song is so freaking awesome....

[@jrsouthworth_]

My gosh. I love this band so freaking much. Restoring Force and The Flood got me really liking them, this has just set me over the top.

[@wtspygamer]

hell yea it was!best song off the aulbum

[@DeathToFrankLung]

1:43 Valentino Ortega plays a fill right there that when I first ever heard it i did so from watching the studio vlogs theyd post while recording this album with Joey Sturgis, listen to it a few times back and you'll realize how fucking sick it is, its not necessarily super technical or complex or super fast, just super unique, its as though he had wrote a fill that would be played on the kick snare and toms but then moved the parts for the toms to his hi hats and cymbals, hes always been such a kick ass fuckin drummer. Man I wish these guys were today lineup wise as they were when they recorded this album... they really had some gems talent wise for the scene that they were in.

[@temporalcasualty]

Best OM&M song. Hands down.

[@dirty654321]

Amen...

[@spurkayy]

Working out to this song gets me so pumped aha

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

Favorite track off this record

[@The3disabledteens]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[@joebeanie17]

Perfect song.

[@mattyvybez101]

the Ultimate fight song!!!!!

[@xoangelbabyxo24]

I know, they are so good :)

[@sasukelova0]

Everything Austin goes, "raha", a little piece of my brain explodes with happiness.

[@jmierjr911]

first song i heard from this band and love it

[@mrig6sic617]

This song was playing in my mind for few days I didn't know the name..the first song I choose from their playlist is this...lucky me 🙂🙂

[@crxsleeper18]

The intro is just killer 👍👌🤘

[@mistelanisenfeld9799]

shayley is such amazing vocalist fuck. fuck it greatest vocalist

[@DooDooVlogs]

woooooooot!!

[@frankie5512]

That fill at 1:43 that’s almost all cymbals hi hats and the ride is such a unique and dope sounding addition to that breakdown. In one of their old studio vlogs there’s footage of Tino recording it and I remember seeing/hearing it that first time and just being like wait wtf that was incredible. Especially at a time when so many of the bands in this scene sounded very similar it was something that really shown through.

[@Chubypenguin]

Awesome

[@christinethomas3456]

2:45 - clean vocals like this is what got me into om&m.

[@MrAndroidDev]

Best chorus ever :D!!!

[@SkullfaceNewberry]

listen to this when your high... amazing

[@LINKchris87]

the way he screams is so insaneeeeee

[@loopsfourtwentythousand8354]

I miss this Era so much

[@bigtallguy97]

dear...sweet...god. the chorus, it's just so fucking incredible. put away the pills, come waste away with me.

[@Justdance6336]

THIS IS MY SHIT.

[@lo-ky_n_colour]

Shayley is legend

[@nejisan1]

What I would give to have either of their vocals.... Shayleys cleans.... Are just wow. Amazing. & Austin Carlile screams like no other. It's too bad shay left. They were both amazing vocalist.

[@BMXRiderNC]

AWESOME!!!!!
