Lyrics
Too sick and tired
Don’t wanna wait a year
I fake a smile
Inside a broken mirror
You count the reasons why we’ll never make it far from here
I’m gonna try to disappear
And when it rains down
You keep your hands out
I know you’re wishing that one of your plans would pan out
Somebody told me
It’s not in my control
I get the message but I still might take it personal
Our lucky stars are falling down so hard it hurts
I’m sick of being lost
And keeping fingers crossed
Lately I’m getting the feeling
Nothing works
Caused we’re cursed
And she says so am I
I didn’t wanna believe it
Each step forward
Puts us ten behind
Im waiting on a sign
Like it or not
We’re running out of time
We look for signals but they burn up in the atmosphere
Close enough to make it clear
Our lucky stars are falling down so hard it hurts
I’m sick of being lost
And keeping fingers crossed
Lately I’m getting the feeling
Nothing works
Caused we’re cursed
And she says so am I
I didn’t wanna believe it
Each step forward
Puts us ten behind
Will we break or we bend
Just to lose it in the end
We’re too old to play pretend
Should I go or should I stay
Will we ever be okay
Or am I just getting in your way
Lately I’m getting the feeling
Nothing works
Caused we’re cursed
And she says so am I
I didn’t wanna believe
Each step forward
Puts us ten behind

Slaves have found their voice with Matt and every single song is just incredible, constantly gaining strength and this one is beyond perfect. This album is lit

[@Take_Down_Squad]

IKR

[@absolutelydoesntmatter]

lol thanks to your comment I realized they released an album

[@jaroldjarodson5271]

Crazy to think he was only given a few hours notice and opportunity to join before the band went overseas since Jonny wasn't at the airport due to a relapse. Dude had to make a split second decision and now the band is thriving more than ever. Love to see it.

[@Take_Down_Squad]

@@jaroldjarodson5271 no way really!

[@selinap.landolin7269]

just perfect like that, they deserve.

[@roncom4321]

Still can't get over the transition from the chorus to the bridge. its so good wtf

[@Blottski]

Its unfair how a band this good is not much bigger than they are. They consistently pump out amazing songs

[@saintoflostcauses]

I agree 1000000000000%....his voice is just perfect and I just found them on a fluke several weeks ago and I'm just floored by them! AMAZING! I don't understand it either. There's not one single thing I can complain about.. ❤️

[@ThisisStephennn]

They are truly amazing

[@vampire365]

I feel that way with Hands Like Houses as well. Both bands are amazing and deserve more recognition. That's why I tend to forcefully introduce people I know to them every chance I get lol

[@jamesf.2174]

Its their band name.

[@vampire365]

@@jamesf.2174 I'm sure that's part of it. Doesn't help there's another group with the same name either

[@allethre]

His transition from normal voice to falsetto is very tastyyyyyyyy 🥴

[@RamonaMariaa]

Very much so 🥴

[@blakeragland700]

Tried to replicate it.. wouldn’t buy my album.

[@kylecasebolt7560]

Crazy vocal control on the chorus

[@evana.5575]

This band is just 🔥 They just don’t disappoint

[@mikeshikes1596]

They speak to the soul man love jamming to their tunes

[@mathewhoodsdale6534]

Nice vocals

[@mathewhoodsdale6534]

Nice melody

[@im_jenkins]

100%

[@TheReactTwinss]

I swear! I recently found them (THANK GOD)🙏🏼🙏🏼 but when I first found them I listened to EVERY SONG AND ALBUM LITERALLY! And there was literally not a single song I didn’t like! Absolutely love this group

[@Andrew_JTD]

I thought they would fall apart without Jonny. Boy was I wrong. They have proved that they can move forward and build something new and improved. Love what Matt has brought to the table.

[@ctrlz2223]

Johnny is the good luck chuck for bands.

[@OrphanCrippler1]

@@ctrlz2223 cause they all ride his coat tails and kick him out after they make a name

[@hunterbowmam5339]

​@OrphanCrippler1 no, because JC creates a ton of bands, and gets himself kicked out, because he doesn't stay clean.

[@MouldyCrayon]

This band is legit therapy.

[@zuhalsensoyer]

Fav song recent times

[@takenotes369]

the voice transition is on another level, my music of the year hands down

[@fahrifadhil4407]

Already listened to the whole album. definitely one of the best album this year!

[@brianthompson1345]

How

[@forevermarked5826]

Currents got album of the year

[@realtalk6195]

The whole album is dope.

[@austin_monstruo2529]

I just can't get over how perfect Slaves is. I was with them from the beginning with Johnny Craig and im still a huge fan as Matt McAndrew has taken his place. I dont give a shit what anyone has to say about Johnny Craig, he's paved the road for every band he's stepped foot in, but slaves has hands down been my favorite band to sit back and watch as they evolve and they have definitely been at their best with Matt

[@brandonfoley6826]

You don't give a shit til he tries to sell you his MacBook

[@roncom4321]

@@brandonfoley6826 LMFAOOOO

[@litcostello1223]

Well they changed their name again

[@robreeto]

@@litcostello1223 what was their name before slaves?

[@robsongabriel4033]

One thing is for certain: it was worth every second of waiting for this album

[@jeremiah4979]

this is an amazing thing to come home from work to.

[@nelsonhousos7878]

Eye Opener was such a banger, can't wait for this one🤙🤙🤙

[@alexiluffy216]

That intro guitar reverb thingy going into the drums, is the reason why I love post-hardcore so much

[@hex_a_lexa]

I can't describe into words how much I love this!!! And OMGGGG the voice 🥰🥰🥰🥰 this is an absolute gem! My 8 month old niece seems to love this too lol 😊💜

[@RadiantPine]

The bridge is a banger!!! 🔥🥶

[@xyrenegade]

My favorite off of the album

[@Nico-ho5gr]

SLAVES: Every song you guys make resonates with my soul. This whole album is like a soundtrack to my life and everything I'm going through right now. Been going through a horrible divorce for the past year, debilitating pain from medical issues and family and friends close to me have been dying left and right with my best friend I've known since I was 5 years old took his own life. I can't even begin to tell you guys how your music has kept me going through all this horrible shit I've endured the past years. Thank you for everything you've done. It means the world to me.

[@sophvdh8831]

Stay strong 💪🏼

[@jcwelch_7326]

It will get better, keep trudging through

[@TheAlboy51]

Lyrically they are so damn amazing

[@Take_Down_Squad]

Soothing Chorus Fellas this album is the best thing that's happened this Year!!!

[@alliecatxx7921]

I agree. Isn’t getting the attention is deserves. Loving the new vocalist so much too.

[@awesomeguy7778]

No doubt it was

[@chrispietrzak7584]

Jonny's sobriety is the best thing I've heard this year.

[@user-tl3se4jc5f]

this is SO. FUCKING. AWESOME. I didn't know how much I needed this song in my life but holy shit it truly proves new music is better than ever

[@genealmarietaylor4439]

This is my favorite from this album. Just love it 🖤🖤

[@forallyouare]

The drummer is an absolutely beast

[@justinthies9699]

Im so stoked for this chapter of slaves, matt is amazing and this song gives me same feeling Pittsburgh by TAA does

[@xxmrnobodyxx6537]

I loved their music when Jonny was here, but I've got to say that Matt does such a good job carring over. And the new more electronic touch to their post hardcore music like in Prayers, is just sooo beautiful

[@zerolucksgivenzeroluckstak1763]

im starting to feel anything they make is gold ~ they dont make a single bad song

[@stalkerorstalker]

That melody in the chorus is catchy as all hell. I think this is my favorite song only after talk to a friend. This album is killer though!

[@Essuez94]

This whole album is really something! Every song is so catchy and so relative, filled with different vibes on every song; I felt it.

[@mochiisyum123]

Couldn't have asked for a better album from these dudes

[@kylefloyd95]

I'm gonna say it too... Matt has improved the sound of this band tenfold. Good shit boys, keep it up. It's been on repeat for about 2 months now.

[@linkenpark053]

Really glad to see such a well-rounded album; diverse, yet similar enough that if you appreciate their sound the style is unmistakable. Love it!

[@PapaRainYT]

Im laughing at everyone who thought this band wasnt gonna be okay after Jonny. Bro.

[@shadycharacter94]

Like every band he leaves they get better

[@leodanysperez1261]

The band was great with Jonny and will be great without him.

[@Immolator772]

Jonny is still better.

[@dracotias]

@@Immolator772 Jonny is better solo, he's not enough of a team player to let band members be more than an afterthought

[@Immolator772]

@@dracotias funny you say that, cuz i dont like a single solo song he's done. Forelsket is ok though.

[@yveslubanda6698]

Wow! Matt has stepped right in the shoes of Jonny! What an amazing vocalist he is! This band is incredible and this album is really Dynamite! Amazing. 👏👏👏

[@gregsmagic]

Literally joined within an hour of Johnny bailing on tour. Crazy how opportunity appears

[@themilklizard9558]

I love how every band that starts with Jonny Craig eventually finds their sound once he's gone

[@d0giem]

all the albums were good and beautful death was fire as well. he started this group with a vision just had some issues personally

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Jonny has a lot of talent for sure, but in my experince it tends to sound like jonny + band. Thats fine, but you need more cohesion to get something special. Plus i was pretty sick of jonnys pity me style lyrics.

[@XxCodyGxX]

Dance Gavin Dance and now Slaves are two brilliant sounding bands without Jonny. Not saying Jonny isn’t a talent fuck but damn he has the magic touch that shines light whenever he leaves

[@FateandAndrea]

Jonny is his own sound

[@OrphanCrippler1]

Its the same sound

[@chrissherwin2364]

This band is amazing regardless. That said Jonny needs to get himself right regardless. He is the best pure voice I've ever heard.

[@gavinvail4133]

The best song on the album so far this whole album is pure amazing!!

[@theknot3483]

This band is pretty damn good started listening to them last yr after SiriusXM octane kept playing them everyday.

[@ryant3ll3r]

By Far The Best Band I Have Seen Live, Always Brings An Energy That Can't Be Denied!

[@perfectraccoon6178]

This band cures my depression

[@ErikWerlin]

I think it's safe to say this one of my new favorite bands!

[@DeSoulHCR]

this song has been on repeat for about 3 days now haha. love it.

[@saltygh0st124]

Just finished my first full listen of the new album, great job fellas! The songs and production are on point! 🔥

🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ *MATT* .... welcome to your clear future with these great musicians. *SUPERB VIDEO to whomever created* !!

[@thedailyp00per]

Really enjoyed this album. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first but I actually like a lot of the songs that weren’t singles. Good job guys

[@alterjo5328]

Such an amazing album, such talented musicians, truly what a band ! ! Don't even get me started on that bridge cuz i lost my shit. beautiful

[@blakeragland2626]

So in love with the whole album.

[@MrEL91N]

Crazy how every band Jonny leaves replaces him with another talented singer who makes heavy use of falsetto.

[@d1st0rt037]

I guess the the rest of band sounds such as that falsettos suit the style, my opinion

[@mmoses2991]

Well obviously. They need someone who can sing the old songs too.

[@JoshuaADoyle]

Jonny was the one who chose his replacements

[@GlRTHBR00KS]

Joshua A. Doyle what? No he wasn’t lmao

[@Unclean_Official]

Not what Jonny does really

[@BedlamBarrio]

So DOPE. just what we needed during a time like this!

[@tialipongen4827]

This is my favourite single from the whole album. And knowing that the music video is also available makes it just... Breathtaking. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alanlucas5485]

The new singer is like if johnnys little brother stepped on the scene I love it🙏🏻❤️

[@numb7309]

Just heard this band today in my bmth youtube list, and im surprised, how can a great band like them dont get views as they deserved

[@d1st0rt037]

Hands down the best album this year 🔥🔥

[@BirdSnake17]

God that fill at 1:46 was so short, but so beautiful
