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.

I used to make the light shine for you. the sun has left my sky. velvet walls surround my sorrows. Ive sacrificed my pride. youre giving up on me. Ive laid myself to sleep tonight. I know youve played out everything in your mind. and now you throw it all away. a shattered memory that you would stay, through thick and thin with me. youre giving up on me. and when you feel the pain, Im wishing I could stay. how can I say I love you back, you never made me happy. youve laid yourself to sleep, I never said this wouldnt hurt. you gave up everything; I never said Id give it back. I know youll never change; I wont be good enough for you. I know, youll make it through, Ill never be around to see.
