"I Hold Myself in Contempt" Lyrics
Just stop the act
You’ve been climbing on my back to weigh me down
But I adapt
Keeping you and all your baggage off the ground
You’re not just another nail in my coffin
You’re the box I’m laid to rot in
I’m all in
But don’t be surprised if I don’t make it out alive
So get a grip
You’re losing it
Your time is fading fast
I wont waste another second picking you up when you’re falling
Back away I’m anything but ok
What’s the point of living if you’re already dead?
So take the best of anything I have left
I wont waste my days hating myself to death
What’s left to say?
I’ve been heading down this road, or so I’m told
Apparently I’m out of control
Apparently I’m about to explode
I never thought that I’d be giving you up
I never thought that you’d be holding me back
There will be nothing left of you when I’m through
Because of you the air I breathe is suffocating
I won’t waste another second on you
Picking you up when you fall

First I was like "Hey FYS just released a new album I'm gonna listen the shit out of that" The problem is that I'm still fucking stuck at this song it's on repeat and I can't stop listening to this one

[@Wilbrown89]

This song is fuckin dope.

[@robschuster8114]

Gravity has the hooks

[@stuckpig92]

This is gonna be a good summer.

[@jadelouisetidman7400]

How was it?

[@stuckpig92]

can't remember, it was two years ago.

[@jadelouisetidman7400]

Haha Ffs well I only did it to remind you so you should do it again

[@willshepley1471]

This album will be the soundtrack to my summer!

[@skinnynakedboy]

Will Shepley yep allready is

[@rhcp357]

and it totally was

[@Wilbrown89]

1. FYS is possibly the most underrated band ever 2. This is easily as good, if not better, than Rise Or Die Trying. Obviously two VERY different records but every song on this record is awesome. 3. If this song doesn't get you fuckin pumped, there's something seriously wrong with you.

[@cbscbs9090]

right on champ. such a well needed turn around from thier last album. this is in my top 5 pop punk albums of all time. big list to join!

[@Oneil399]

i see them everytime they come into town, got their pick signed that they threw in the crowd, it hit my friend in his head and he gave it to me best warped tour yet. handsdown favorite band ever made

[@drumsno]

This is my fave album by them I think

[@CharlieViking95]

2:56 Headbanging commenced. God what a groovy fucking part.

[@HeisntLegend]

Yet another flawless four year strong album. They never cease to blow my mind.

[@cbscbs9090]

love the cheeky pull off at 3.45

[@777Harlequin]

So much to this song... and the music they do. Maybe I haven't looked far enough but I can't think of many bands that put all my favorite things together like they do. Melodic riffs, melodic/passionate singing with some throat/shouting, quality lyrics that I can relate to.. The only other band I can think of off the top of my head in the same field right now is Hit the Lights. Sheesh. Love these guys.

[@777Harlequin]

777Harlequin The lyrics to this song too, I bet it's really hard to sing/write that way to get emotions across without being obnoxious and whiny. I like the theme, that chorus, I feel like it's about not hanging onto things that have passed and putting yourself in to some sort of pitiful living-zombie-mode and missing out on all the beautiful things in life.. pick up the pieces and move on sort of thing.

[@xistentialdread6376]

HTL are god tier

[@thepanda973]

Wasn't sure how I felt about these guys when I first heard them a couple years ago. I saw them at Warped Tour a few days ago and holy shit was it fucking insane. I'm hooked

[@cleokraus]

this is like the 5th time I've listened to this album and it hasn't even come out yet. This has gotta be FYS best album!

[@jmcaissie]

This song is incredible. Ridiculous riff. Welcome back boys.

[@xXCrocmonXx]

If I can't get my hands on a copy to blare out of my car, I'm probably gonna scream. So happy to hear new stuff from FYS!

[@kezza413]

Damn, this song is so fucking awesome. I can't believe this masterpiece didn't trend across the entire universe.

[@capnjulia2901]

Seeing these guys tonight! So excited!

[@eh2396]

Hell yeah!! This song just rips right through! I love this!

[@SamHewittmusic]

great band

[@erickaguilar7955]

flawless

[@misturanderson]

Bravo!

[@sleepwalkingsky]

[@GOPACKERSJT]

YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!

[@mtb3966]

This song got me through some shit

[@zViviannn]

Love it

[@p-rate2958]

AND THERE BACK!!!! LOVE THIS NEW SHIT! IM BACK INTO POP PUNK AGAIN, THANKS!!!!!

[@mrlavrentis]

Anyone else play this album then heard this and was like woah this is gonna be good

[@fonze47th89]

Fuck yea dude love this album so much!!!!!

[@IceTeaHatee]

Holy crap every 2000's band I look up is/has come back. EXCEPT MCR OFC. I guess life can't be perfect. Still, I can't believe that these guys and a lot of underrated bands came back.

[@dalewindeckerjr.3663]

Its okay they have solo careers and are happy this way

[@IceTeaHatee]

I'm Normal I don't know about them but I am happy by seeing other people happy. Also, do you know why the band broke off in the 1st place? I never found out the real reason.

[@dalewindeckerjr.3663]

IceTeaHate Gerard said in an interview he just wasn't happy making music in the band anymore. They had already accomplished all they wanted to and when Danger Days wasn't as successful Gerard started to write a new album trying to replicate the Black Parade. That album was called the Paper Kingdom. But he wasn't happy writing that. Eventually the band just agreed to break up. Nothing bad or drastic. Just a lack of purpose for the band to exist.

[@IceTeaHatee]

I'm Normal Oh, all this time I thought they broke up because Mikey had some kind of problem so I was worried about him but apparently he's been making music so he's fine, then I started to think that it was because they weren't as famous anymore, thanks for clearing it up. I still can't wait for Gerard's new album though (it's coming out soon right?), he doesn't look like he lives in the 80's anymore so the music style might have changed. Yeah I still don't get how people change their taste in music so drastically, ever since I was a kid I was always into punk and rock, I eventually discovered pop punk and emo and I've been attached since. Sure it might start to get boring to play the same music live over and over again but I think that just seeing people loving it would make me want to write more. Anyways what do I know, I am not a musician I will never know what they felt. Also, sorry for the rant-ish comment.

[@taylormaynard5404]

shut up!!!!! take my money!!! where do i get this album!

[@solarninjas5251]

This sounds like a song that could possible go in an anime as a theme song or an action moment....

[@tobyparadis1656]

If you did this record, the same in every other. You would be unstoppable. But no you had one fucking good album like so many

[@curtisdahlen8505]

Literally destroying my ears with how loud I need to listen to fys stuff.

[@keags2010]

Fuck yes

[@user-tf6rf3tt6t]

I feel like its a rule that pop punk bands are required to have 1 song title per album be a movie reference.

[@indigotheindieghost7214]

Except there's three on this album Here's to swimming with bow legged women We all float down here And this song

[@joshyanaros7778]

Don't forget stolen credit card!

[@blainegriffin6472]

​@@joshyanaros7778I guess all of em are movie references because wipe yourself off man, you're dead, is definitely a rush hour line lol

[@tristananvilcaster]

Never really listened to these guys but they rock :)

[@nelpalenzuela9757]

fucking good man

[@xistentialdread6376]

I have to say the vocals are so so different than EOTW or RODT. Still kicks ass though.

[@kezza413]

=[ i want a tab

[@Kewkky]

Early first minute of the video and song reminded me of Giygas.

[@deathmachine808]

Rise or Die Tryin' was a lot fucking better. And I just listened to it.

[@vincentmolgaard3701]

Jim Carrey movie references as song titles>>>

[@seraphim1069]

Only reason i found this 😅

[@tylerturner1157]

Haha liar liar, song rules too!

[@potatoesvevo9465]

667th like xD

[@DJ-tl4on]

Jim Carrey Liar Liar song title

[@tobyparadis1656]
