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.

Discovering The Waterfront Lyrics

Silverstein

I will promise myself I won't care
distracting myself from your stare
and I've seen this mistake once before
with your games I will never fall for
I've hung up my guns
I won't kill again
[Chorus:]
I won't forget you (I won't forget you)
I'm not gonna let you win (I'm not gonna...)
but I'm tired of lying
tired of fighting you
and it's not gonna change
You ask for my heart
you know that I'm down
but not the way you lie to me,
you tear it all apart and beg for me to say
I sail off to sea (I sail off to sea),
I'm not coming back
[Chorus]
Counting down
Make that sounds
When you know it makes no sense
Counting down
Till you mess around
When I know you can't ever change
Why am I trembling?
Throw it overboard
When I'm ready to we'll progress
Counting down
Make that sounds
Break the silence
Pretend it's not forever,
I'll pull myself together
I'll say that I'll forget her,
I'll breathe.
And I'll say she never hurt me,
And look at it as learning,
And laugh about the good and the bad.
Because I won't live forever
We don't belong together,
I know I'll feel better,
One day when I can make it through.
[Chorus x2]
