Lay Me To Rest
Lay me to rest
this life is getting old
and I don’t do what I’m told
Suffocating
Tension all around
Hope eroding
Dying underground
Pull me up
Just to break me down
It left me broken
Blood horizon
Bright red zodiac
Pressure rising
Walls are starting to crack
Ends are violent
Cue the heart attack
You can take it all and paint it black
Stay strong
I hope there’s something after this
it won’t be long
until I take my final breath
Lay me to rest
this life is getting old
and I don’t do what I’m told
I’ve lost control
is it all in my head
well there’s no one else to blame
and I’m diving into flames
I’m dead weight
Self-debasing
Focus out of frame
Time is wasting
Can’t get out the stain
The past is chasing
To point the finger of blame
It left me broken
Fear the reaper
Target on my back
Fire breather
Pyromaniac
To burn in silence
A bloodstain on the track
You can take it all and paint it black
Stay strong
I hope there’s something after this
it won’t be long
until I take my final breath
Lay me to rest
this life is getting old
and I don’t do what I’m told
I’ve lost control
is it all in my head
well there’s no one else to blame
and I’m diving into flames
I’m dead weight
Stay strong
I hope there’s something after this
it won’t be long
before I take my final breath
I’ll see you when you get here
but please just take your time the time was mine
I’ll see you on the other side
Lay me to rest
this life is getting old
and I don’t do what I’m told
I’ve lost control
is it all in my head
well there’s no one else to blame
and I’m diving into flames
I’m dead weight

Zebrahead has never had a bad lead singer. I love all three for different reasons, and Ali just wraps it up perfectly

[@iRecord100]

The new vocalist is something else. At the moment it still sounds to me like zebrahead featuring adrian after all these years of hearing matty. That being said, this song is an absolute banger and I'm sure I'll love it all! What a chorus!

[@ThatDereKid]

The band almost has two new vocalists with Ali’s new melodic screaming style. Always loved his metal side but this is the best he’s sounded since like Type A. Good song!

[@shgazda]

Fuck yeah, man I am replaying TypeA after like thousands years now!! Thanks for mentioning it!!!

[@calicoloki]

i was thinking the same thing

[@bennytanner1962]

Honestly, I was dreading listening to this. Been a fan of zebrahead since a few months before phoenix came out and they have been my favourite band all these years throughout so many important times in my life. After listening to this song, I still find a smile on face, so I think everything is going be just fine.

[@bennytanner1962]

Honesly I thought the band was gonna suck after the original Vocalist left but hell This guy made Zebrahead become a Post - Hardcore now ! For me to also here a new song from a band once and loving it a the first time? You have to be super badass !

[@underwaterdick]

As somebody who listened to them with the original singer, then went on to love Broadcast to the World, (and subsequent albums) I cam happily say Zebrahead certainly know how to adapt to changing band members. Staying Zebrahead but allowing something new. Much better than seeing the music fade into obscurity and band consigned to history. Think I'm at the 25+ mark for number of gigs I have seen them at in the UK. Look forward for seeing them again, but in their latest iteration.

[@billyssoundtest7430]

Uhmm, everyone was saying the same thing about ''Zebrahead died'' when Justin left the band and look, 15 great years with Matty, the same thing will happen with this CHAPTER 3, great stuff is coming and I'm excited.

[@negative7proxy]

Zebrahead is one of the few bands that I believe have gotten better with every album they put out. Goldfinger is another one.

[@SwiftCreationStudio]

I'll say that Ali certainly brought his A-game in this and I think he has actually improved since the last album and indeed over time and I can say the same for Ed, Ben and Dan they definitely find their feet after what could be seen as an unrecoverable event for some bands I was a bit apprehensive of Adrian's sound initially the first time I heard this song it didn't hit right with how it differed so vastly from what Ali was bringing but I was willing to reserve my judgement until I heard more but second time I heard it, I'll admit it grew on me.

[@Saberwaisen]

This time the singer change is an improvement, can't wait to hear the next album or EP.

[@RobotnikUnit]

[@Sam-jy5tf]

This is PRIME zebrahead people, PRIME zebrahead. I got into zebrahead in like 2007, Phoenix coined my middle school days like few other records would. Brain Invaders was one hell of a return to form and the songs were a BLAST to see live... but mark my words, this guy just stepped into the room to finally unleash this band's full potential. This band has BY FAR the most, all-killer-no-filler, front-to-back consistently flawless back catalogue of a discography I have ever seen. Someone pull THAT off over a span of 25 years without getting boring, SHOW ME.

[@YubasaMcNamara]

I love Zebrahead, but their discography is not flawless, man

[@Sam-jy5tf]

@@YubasaMcNamara Really? I mean like... yeah, maybe their debut and Waste were far from perfect, and also the Get Nice/CYF era was a bit.. lacking in creativity I guess. But show me one band to have this consistent output with twelve, soon to be thirteen full-length records over 25 years with none of them being a 'Dirty Work' kinda deal - the rolling stones record I mean, even tho the shoe fits for a lot of ATL fans, too.

[@YubasaMcNamara]

@@Sam-jy5tf of course, guys are very hard-working, no doubt, i appreciate that and have tons of respect for them, since they are down to earth

Lets have a moment to thank Matty for all these incredible years that felt like eternity. You will always be a part of our MFZB life

[@joshyotoast]

Best mindset to have! Matty was a top guy who would always chat and have beers with you during the shows. People change direction all the time wish him the best.

[@ArunSG1910]

This is the most powerful video you guys have ever released (props to Alex!). The song and the video together made me a bit emotional... nearly seeing the death of Zebrahead. You can tell how much heart was put into this song... Adrian was an amazing addition to the line up and definitely saved the band. Musically I had no idea what to expect but I can't wait to see what else is to come as you have all clearly stepped it up a notch (or 2).

One of the few bands that stays true and doesn't sell out to rise the ranks. Super talented and underappreciated no doubt.

[@emilkata]

Was expecting a Postcards From Hell theme towards Matty but this was far more powerful as Zebrahead was close to disbanding. You guys seem revitalised and charged to move ahead. The switching from the old Zebrahead logo to the new one symbolising the Chapter transition is not unnoticed. Stoked what's to come.

@@timerman52 Matty lost his dad, and he left zebrahead due to him wanting to pursue country music. There was no bad blood.

[@trollgod1233]

@@sir0x99 it wasn't really a leaving on good terms either though since he just went dark on them for a really long time and when he got back to them it was just so he can quit the band over text

[@SwiftCreationStudio]

@@sir0x99 It's a bit lax to say he did it to pursue country music. Yes, he *_is_* pursuing country music but there's far more to it than that. He technically was doing the country thing for a time before leaving, since 2019 officially, from the looks of it. As you said he lost his dad, leaving I assume, his mother, whom in the website of his new pursuits he identified as instilling the "Country" passion, I'm no Freud but I would say we have a case of the son wishing to please the mother because he realizes the mortality of humans. He did say that the constant out of country touring was causing a lot of stress and of course it would, they are an "American Band" with limited popularity in their home country. Similar to how Greg left to be with his family I think Matty left and was making these decisions for reason more complicated that "he wants to do country"

I've been a fan ever since. Happy to see you guys are still around and still kicking ass! Thanks Zebrahead!

[@lsmf5]

As a fan of Zebrahead since POTY, I'm glad that ZH can continue to still belt out songs like this after so many years. My ears were shocked at first by the change in lead vocals from Matty to Adrian and the change in vocal style that Ali used in the song but this shock dissipated by the middle of the song. I can't wait to rehear old classics with Adrian's voice as well as what the future has in store. This video was powerful and reminded me that this is band is a family and this is how they feel is best to deal with their own shock to the system.

The song is a blast as usual. The new singer, in this song, reminds me of Brandon Urie, and that's good. Can't wait for a party song, the type of song where Matty's voice was perfect. And, ok, I must say that Justin's voice was perfect for either serious and party moods 😄
