Lyrics
Do you remember how it felt each time you looked at me
The way you hated what you see?
(Or maybe you just hated everything)
I never told you it’s a feeling I remember too
It’s how I feel when I see you
And we just
(FALL OUT)
Let me go, I can’t take this
(BREAK DOWN)
Let me leave you in pieces
(RIGHT NOW)
Took me too long to see this
‘Cause who I am got buried beneath it
You tried to sneak around and play my insecurities
You always knew what made me weak
(I was scared of saying anything)
But now it’s you that second guesses everything you knew
And I’m the one who’s playing you
And then we
(FALL OUT)
Let me go, I can’t take this
(BREAK DOWN)
Let me leave you in pieces
(RIGHT NOW)
Took me too long to see this
‘Cause who I am got buried beneath it
(KEEP PUSHING)
Until I break
(I’LL CRAWL OUT)
If it’s what it takes
(YOU’ll SHATTER)
Under the weight
(MY LAST MISTAKE)
I never told you it’s a feeling I remember too
And I’m the one who’s playing you
(FALL OUT)
Let me go, I can’t take this
(BREAK DOWN)
Let me leave you in pieces
(RIGHT NOW)
Took me too long to see this
‘Cause who I am got buried beneath it
Go and keep your distance
As you fall to pieces
In your toxic madness

@@LennyTenkaichi Ya, don't like Skillet unless it's being used to cook me something good.

[@DropDMurphy]

@@d2h655 I will be honest. I am a creature of what I like and really have difficulty giving a song more than 5 seconds. If I don't like it in the first 5 seconds, I pass. I am sure by doing this I have limited myself to a lot of good shit. I am 47 and no longer really into the music scene as I was back in the 80/90's where it was all I had. Now, If it's on XM radio and I like it, I add it to a play list.. I am still a Metallica fan, they have been my go to since I was in grade school. I've added bands like Volbeat, A7X, Slipknot and gradually shuffled in some newer stuff.

Every now and then you find a song that you know you're still gonna jam to 20, 30, or even 40 years in the future, and this is one of those songs. This has Early-Mid 2000's written all over it (I mean that in literally the best way possible) while having a fresh enough sound to not feel like a copycat of anything from that era. It's unique, It's Sleep Theory, and I'm here for it!
