Silversteinis a alternative rock band from Burlington, Ontario. The band was formed in 2000 in what they sarcastically called "an attempt to tear down the boundaries between hardcore, emoand punk." While they do incorporate some elements of these genres in some of their songs, the general community considers them to be harder alternative rockwith hardcoreelements; they are often placed in the controversial " emocore" genre, which is disputed by purists who claim emo in its true form ceased to exist many years ago. Silverstein's self description however, keeps them from bearing such a label. Some fans of Silversteinrefer to the group as emoor post-hardcore, yet these labels are not accurate. The band's determination to "break down the boundaries" between said genres prevents them from being so easily categorized.

Already Dead Lyrics

Silverstein

You won't find me here
the place that you expected me to be
in my bed on the second floor
I'm outside your house
I'm closing in on you
and all the times you smiled
you said hello and thought I was ok
I was planning your final struggle
[Chorus]
When you wake up I'll be there
when you see me you'll be on your back again
(when you, when you, when you, when you)
know you're already dead
you'll love me too
You will find me here
the place you least expected me to be
breaking through your basement window
I'm outside your room
I can hear you breathe
and all the times you laughed
you shook my hand and thought I was your friend
I was planning your tragic ending
[Chorus]
You'll look down on me, with eyes of endless tragedy
try and stop the pain, but there's never closure
find your solace in what you could have been
When they look for me, the evidence is buried deep
try to guide the way into the darkness
[Chorus]
Looking down on me through eyes that never stop crying
looking down on me, will you ever look away?
