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.

Fist Wrapped in Blood Lyrics

Silverstein

(Come on!)
Finish me off, follow the plan
break all the bonds, sever the ties
and now your mission is complete, find and destroy me.
torturing me, with words from your lips
filleting my skin, pulling my teeth
please forgive me for not being good enough.
Drown your sorrows in my pain (pain)
and it's something you can't explain.
when I'm choking on words you'll never say (say)
and you'll never feel the same
(Same!)
Bound and gagged, I cannot move or speak
these things I want to say, I can't explain them anyway
so if I had it all again, if I could start from the first words I ever said
I would do it all the same.
Drown your sorrows in my pain (pain)
and it's something you can't explain.
when I'm choking on words you'll never say (say)
and you'll never feel the same
Your joy is my pain
my fingers are yours to cut off
and my bones are yours to shatter in pieces.
my teeth are yours to pull out and my soul is yours to slowly rip apart.
I can't trust anyone I meet.
From now on, my chest feels more like
a fist wrapped in blood
