Song lyrics
So our open wounds will bleed
Until our veins run dry
Now we have to take this thorn
And tear it from our side
Agitated at the fault line
Still agreed to disagree
You're connected to the heart
But tonight we'll set you free

So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Even now as I write this down
All pretentions disappear
Now our impulses will bite
At the ankles of our fear

So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Words are spoken
Words are broken down

So let's make this night be our best mistake
So let's take the time to wipe the blood away

Now our hands are tied
And our world is caving in
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Now our hands are tied
And the problems lie within
Words are spoken
Words are broken down
Broken down
Broken down

dont meano sound gay or anything, but seriously...I listened closely to swallow the knife and got teary eyed. Its one of the best songs ive heard in a long time. SOTY is a bnad that u cant really labeled. I guess u can call them emo screamo, but they are kinda in their own category. But anyways, go story of the year!

I completely agree with GrundgePrincess. It doesn't matter what kinda music it's labeled as. It doesn't matter how you label a person either. It just matters that the music is what you like and you are who you wanna be. I actually condsider Emo music. And so does lots of the other sites I have visited with SOTY stuff on it. I visit lots of SOTY sites. Mmkay? So yea. It's Emo. But that doesn't matter either. If it's good. Then it's good and if you think it's bad then you suck.

This song rocks, as does "Burning Years" and "In the Shadows". Story of the Year rocks, and I'm sick of people saying "oh, they suck" and "oh, they're not punk" ,well let me tell you something, people, IT DOESN'T MATTER if they are punk or not. It isn't about labels or any of that, it's about the MUSIC! THE MUSIC!!!! This is a good band, and if you can't see that because you're whining about what genre of rock they are, then you are a poor, hopeless person, and I pity you. Ok, I feel a lot better now.
Oh, and anyone who likes SOTY, I recommend you listen to bands such as Smile Empty Soul, Three Days Grace, and the Lostprophets.

I don't know if anyone else hears what I hear, but do the beginning lyrics remind anyone of the chorus from the Mister Mister song "Broken Wings?"

This is my favorit song on the entire CD. The lyrics are so depressing. It rocks. I love depressing songs. Story of the Year needs to keep it up with the rocking songs. I wanna see them on Warped Tour. But I can't I hail to Story of the Year and their musical talents. See me bowing?
