Pierce The Veil "The New National Anthem"

"The New National Anthem" is from the album 'Selfish Machines,' available now. Get the album here: bit.ly/ptv-merch
Lyrics:
Drag my hand behind you like a chain behind a truck
Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the darkness
Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls
Somebody's supposed to tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay
Summer and gold, throw their colors at the dark
A mother tells her son, darling look at the sparks
But, you hold my attention without even trying
A beautiful reflection from firework eyes
But, never means forever
Desperation and hanging in the backyard at night
Somebody's supposed to fall in love
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay
Love, don't forget to bleed so slowly
Haunted hearts we melt over the fabric of your floor
I'm holding her just like she's gold, but I've been running from the sun
And if I ever catch the ones who hurt you
I'm hoping that God looks away this time
So, why would I let you go?
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay

I love this song but putting it at 1.25 speed made it into a completely different vibe omg

[@scottyrotty]

Such an awesome song it has its flavor and it's selective tastes The album as a whole is a great strike for me a solid post hardcore album the unique vocals and dancy rhythmic choice in instruments really helps sell the flare that PTV had perfected with selfish machines It really is the landmark album that made them much more well known for the main stream and the burst in popularity did surge and so did their production quality though to me personally this is the best album they ever put out lyrically and musically. Overall something here for anyone looking for a sellected taste in rock anthemic genres and this sure gives you a good idea on where to begin with the concept of fast paced emo styled rock in the first place. Solid 2½/3
