Dance Gavin Dance- "And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman" Live on 7-16-2011

Recorded at Dance Gavin Dance's performance at the Montreal, Canada stop of the Van's Warped tour on July 16th, 2011.
But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)

Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet, down
Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet, down
Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone astray
Stranded here in this cold atmosphere.
Waiting for the lifeless words to come from your mouth
Enduring every sound

This is not why the cast is hollow
Sending the rats to follow
Under the weight of all these eyes
Fry
But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)

I lay without understanding
I don't know why I feel this way
Oh lay down girl take my world
I know why I can't see your face
I've placed every mole there is to place on your wasted body
Oh, lay down girl and take my world
I know why I can't see your face

As the window left shattered now
We saw the withered body try to shout
You thought the price of your life was devout
And told us some things you can't live without
And was this what was best for us
And was this what was best for us
Just let it show (Rest where you ought to be)
(Block out your misery)
I'll bring you far (Wait for the call)
Well I'll go for it (You left in the hallway)
I'll beg you when you know (People they change)
(And I would still be ashamed)
I'll beg you when it shows (To let the weight of the world)
Well I'll go for it (Rest on your shoulders)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I'll die for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
It's staged for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)
Left at my feet rests the soul of my brother
Vengeance will fall for the deeds of another

Jonny is an example of someone with outrageous talent, whose talent is squandered by their own bad habits.

Helloface rape is a no bueno, but he hasn’t been taken into custody or anything, so for me I cant judge or say anything on the matter until legal actions have taken place, and since he’s labeled as a shitty person and doesn’t have the celebrity that he use to have I don’t see why anything hasn’t been done.

I still love it compared to shit today! And the security dropped the bitch lol

[@mikekristin7201]

There is no logic behind how Mess's voice can still perform at as high of a level as he does. Shit, the dude from avenged sevenfold had to change his singing completely to save his voice.that was only a few years. Mess is in full blow out mode every show, year after year.

[@d3th_2_all]

This is very late but Jon took time out of the band to learn a better technique at around the time Kurt joined the band because the technique he used at this point injured his vocal chords and he had to learn a new one otherwise he would've blown out his vocal chords. That's why he sounds 10 times better and more powerful nowadays

[@somebluechicken]

@@d3th_2_all yeah thats one of the reasons im a big advocate for alot of the DTMB songs for the next TCS album if they ever do it antlion and its safe to say you dig the back seat need a little bit of loving done to them with new jon.

@@zachsnyder2649 tell us then Mr. Vocal expert. Feed us your great knowledge.

[@jpena70]

I remember going to warped tour in 2011 and watching Jonny put on such an amazing, unforgettable performance. He then got escorted off stage pretty much carried out cuz of how high and drunk he was. That guy still is my favorite singer. Absolute raw talent with no guidance and bad habits. Such a shame he’s ruined all his chances to be something huge.

[@dylancarroll4607]

3:35-4:30has to be my favorite live part of DGD

[@w0ngky]

Damn I discovered this album 13 years ago. I was blown away by Jonny vocals because at the time every clean singer used heavy auto tune and everyone sounded like robots

[@shadowfish357]

You could tell this was a tense time within the DGD lineup. None of them look like they want to be there. Jonny is an incredible vocalist, but Tiilan has brought the least amount of drama and hardship to the band and they seem better off with him.

[@n0rthlane317]

Idk. There was definitely drama but they're smiling still. :,)

[@mikezeigler1]

Because having a heroin addict in a band fuckin sucks

[@blessmybursts2345]

Also they kinda try to sacrifice movement for better vocals

[@Cinnamonrolls2021]

Best part about them not wanting to be there is that they can play their song aggressively af lol.

[@cigarettecat3981]

They all looked kinda happy with Kurt he always got shot from fans but I think he's better than Johnny and that his albums are the best dgd made until mother ship
