LYRICS:
Now I’m free, you goddamned leech
Fuck your pulpit, and fuck what you preach
You may have the world at your feet
But nothing in this life is concrete
You’re self indulgent at my expense
So let me give you my two cents
It must be nice, isn’t it?
Sitting in your castles dressed like kings
It must be nice in the end
To feel like the world’s beneath your feet
So why don’t you say it? Say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away when we were
Living in the red, hanging by a thread
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
I’m losing my patience
Some people never learn
I’m losing my patience
So take your offers and let them fucking burn
Once respected, now just hated
This is the hell you created
So why don’t you say it? Say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away when we were
Living in the red, hanging by a thread
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
The moss will grow on your goddamned gravestone
Because you’ll spend your last years alone
It’s not a burnt bridge, because you’re fucking broke
You offered the promised land,
but you’re a fucking joke
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away
So why don’t you say it? Say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away when we were
Living in the red, hanging by a thread
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
Fuck your pulpit and fuck what you preach

Badass song

What. The. Fuck. Was. That. How has this not absolutely blown up yet? I'm sitting down and out of breath after listening to this.

[@domjfante8140]

Dude for real, this song should be all over the charts.

[@ThiccNutTimmy]

i feel the same way, that chorus hits me deep.

[@RipzCritical]

Bro the hook for me is that ring/chime​/whistle . Its so eerie and sinister. @ThiccNutTimmy

I remember my daughter listening to you guys when she was 11yrs old. She's now 23 & we both shared a moment geeking out over how much of a masterpiece this is. Well done boys. And thank you.

[@RecKOner21]

Same I'm 24 now and it's insane I thought they were gone honestly

I still go back to Numbers every now and then, it was a really solid album and I enjoy it a lot. This song is awesome and hope to hear more

[@AVA787]

It’s insane how good Michael Bohn sounds. Hance sounds great as well, but Michael sounds like an absolute MONSTER compared to previous tracks

[@relaxed2sleep81]

Agreed didn’t think it was the same vocalist. Sound meaner.

[@krisbourquin4515]

Bro sounds better than ever!

[@XxSofaKingDopexX]

Same thing I was thinking as well man he sounds fucking stellar! I think both hance and Michael are screaming

nah it's not entirely him, might be keyboardist also

Fantastic. More in line with the OG sound. This is just great

[@Varietis]

“OG” This sounds nothing like Tyler Carter era Woe Is Me.

[@alldayhazelofi]

This sounds like Hance era, 2013 era. I liked that era of Woe, is me better personally.

[@shelbysmith6557]

I thought the same thing.

[@NoufDim]

OG???

Minus the having quad fills every 10 seconds lol

Even after all this time, that might be their best song yet

Words cannot describe how I happy I am that you guys are making music again.

[@SKYGLOW-tp9du]

Lets be honest, we have been waiting for Michael Bohn for a long time.... 😌😌

[@shadowwilson7282]

This has to be a dream! They're back and I'm just getting the recommendation?! This is too perfect to be true 😭

[@WIMATL]

Glad this was recommended! This one just came out; we have another song that released back in April called Ghost! Thanks for checking it out 🙏🏼

[@TheOfficialT.Y]

Ghost brought me here 😅

[@JunoWho2]

Dude… woe is me replied to you!! You lucky af!!!

[@bigboi51290]

It’s like they pulled the best of Genesis, the soaring guitars of Vengeance, the catchiness of the choruses from Numbers, and Michaels peak screams with issues. This song is just amazing.

[@ryansurv]

Didn't Numbers not have choruses?

[@EliasToner0063]

@@ryansurv only Hell or High Water had a Chorus I believe, I could be wrong though

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

​@ryansurv shit....youre right. There was no choruses.

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

@@ryansurv let’s not forget the “soaring guitars of vengeance.” 😂 I just noticed that what fucking soaring guitars lmao there was zero lead guitar that was soaring.

[@unholyghost96]

The classic metalcore sound the world has been missing is back and it sounds amazing. Feels like 2010-2014 again. Never cared much for Michaels screams because imo back then they didn’t sound special to me but now they sound amazing. Huge improvement. Much love dudes ❤️ Noooo I edited my comment and their heart got removed 😐

[@ThatShitGood]

This💯 That chunky, groovy, punchy, full of pinch harmonic and djenty breakdowns is what metalcore missed since the architectcore crap plagued this genre.

[@ktotheitothembex]

Lol

[@ThatKidBryan]

If you think classic metalcore starts at 2010 you’re doing a huge disservice to the scene. Jfc.

[@unholyghost96]

@@ThatKidBryan 2010-2014 I was in high school and that was the peak of metalcore to me also including 2009. Sorry you don’t like my opinion but I don’t really care for your gate keeping. If you actually read what I said you would know I said “it feels like 2010-2014 again”. So just keep it to yourself.

[@ThatKidBryan]

@@unholyghost96 Oof. The fact that you’re so defensive off rip speaks volumes about your personality. The irony of saying I’m “gate keeping” is delicious while you yourself seem to “gate keep” your entire opinion. My whole point is this. True metal core was in its prime from the early to mid 2000s. Record labels like Ferret, Trustkill, Solid State and Victory were the catalyst for everything out today. I think you have a different interpretation of what actual metal core is. Norma Jean, From Autumn to Ashes, Poison the Well are just a few of the true metal core bands. In closing, just because you know nothing about the scenes history doesn’t mean you can just discredit it because it was before your time, asshat.

[@headder7802]

That vocals.................................................................... EPICNESS

[@oogalee]

Metalcore was missing this level of energy. Glad that they came back after a decade and still sound fresh.
