He put himself here
Just so he could escape
He just can’t see here
Just so blinded by hate
On this journey just unable to find
He says “I'm okay” in his mind
He carries on out in this open plane
With a map of who he was in his brain
There's no pretending he’s lost himself in his eyes
Hell just be chasing butterflies
“The flashes in my eyes
The colours they move like dancers
I just can't hold on anymore
I won't cry for you
I've lost too much time
Here's the answer
I don't want to know anymore”
People see him as he talks to himself
Scared to greet him putting plans on the shelf
No-one truly gets to know who they are
Growing old makes this seem darker
Sunflower carry me home
I feel joy in my heart but death in these bones
If i feel joy in my heart then why am I alone?
Say that you love me
Say that you do
I just don’t think that I could forget you

I just love “Joy” so much. This song definitely has a special place in my heart.

[@dfgdfbsdfvv832]

[@brutalvocalcovers]

This makes me feel things.

[@oppsie6338]

[@ZuLLeT]

We do the music to make the feel.

[@brutalvocalcovers]

Jake O'Connell job you did well

[@Ordoxable]

this song kinda dark but deep too esp. at the end when it says say that you love me say that you do.. that part touches me because sometimes i want my girlfriend to say i love you but sometimes she dont esp if shes mad.... thats why i feel with those specific lyrics but otherwise this song is very like dissonant and touching in a deep dark way

[@Vool2go]

what IS IT?

[@sparda_]

Dark times, calls for Thornhill, embrace my sadness, and cure it, absolute.

[@vantablacknl]

Hope ur doing good

[@joshforest304]

So much heart beyond their years. The lyrics are so relatable and delivered with the best range. Thornhill is like a progression of Architects, Northlane and Deftones but then they got some crazy new haunting yet uplifting shit going on too

[@thatguyfromsandiego2660]

Nice comparisons my man, I agree for the most part with your take on them. For sure ready for a US tour!

[@Matt_Nor]

Joy is literally THEIR most perfect song! Australian... BULLSEYE BOYS!

[@vJonnny]

This song is my all time favourite song... The lyrics mean something to me like no other song before. I'm happy, but lonely. I've never had unconditional love before and all I want is to be loved by people but I struggle so hard to make that happen 😞. The song gives me goosebumps and brings me tears more times than I'd like to admit. Absolutely epic song.

[@vJonnny]

Can someone please just say that they love me... 😢

[@some.kind.of.musician]

Bro I don’t know you but I think you I should know that you are loved. Learning to love yourself might be hard, but it worth trying. When you love yourself, everyone around do too. Everyone has his own way, but for me it helped taking out negative emotions with music. The more open and honest with yourself you become, the better you can understand, what causes your sadness and solve that. Hope I helped even a little. Love you, man

[@shanemassey8398]

@@vJonnny I love you! I hope that you are doing amazing!

[@tessirracct3961]

@@vJonnny I love you buddy!! Head up; we grow from our darkest times. As hard as it may ever get. If you can make it out of your darkest times, you will ALWAYS be unstoppable. Stay humble, and continue to love.

[@ariaq69]

Strive to be pure from your core, luv yourself and everyone else will follow. It is a very attractive attribute to give and receive love unconditionally. I struggled a lot of my childhood with the same issues, due to abandonment I experienced with my own Mother, which is traumatizing to any being, but life showed me Love comes from many places and you don't need the Love of your Mother to have a successful life in Love. I didn't get it from where I thought it should come from, so I found it in myself, and the rest is history. Love yourself brother and the world will welcome you with open arms!

[@cursedshinobi5769]

This song gets me everytime.

[@TalkingCheeseBurgerr]

3:19 and onwards is the reason why this song is my favorite. Especially at 3:59 *UGH* His voice is angelic yet hauntingly hypnotizing!

Joy is the happiness that doesn't depend on external stimuli. It's the happiness that doesn't depend on whether I get what I want or not. - Felix Lopez

[@gwirion-cachu]

Thornhill is amazing, Jacob is such a sweet guy and so are the rest of them! They deserve everything they get! I recommend this band to everyone I'll ever meet. They've helped me through so much and they've made me realize things and accept things. Love you guys, so much. I owe you my life.

[@shanemassey8398]

It was this, then "Where We Go When We Die."

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

Thornhill and Northlane. Both bands discovered by me about a month ago. Both have similar sounding names. Both from Australia. Both release an atmospheric, trippy album. Both awesome.

ONLY 6 SONGS!?! WE NEED MOAR!!!

[@BryanBrilliance]

What do the lyrics mean? I feel as though it is talking about being in a constant state of taking substances to cope with a specific longing for acknowledgement by someone, wasting away until death. This "joy" is just dopamine coming from external sources? And as for "sunflower carry me home", is it something like: lead me to the light? Like death?

[@dairy1994]

[@romandasgupta7054]

would really like to know the context of this song

[@Danime83o]

Joy is a term that means "the funny and intelligent girl you easily fall in love" I feel this song is about a guy who broke up with his girlfriend, and gets bad in his head.

@@drazenstan They’re a classic post hardcore band that paved the way for a lot of bands like Erra and clearly have influence with these guys. Listen to Collapse by Saosin. Similar chugging. Their entire album has that chugging
