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.

When everyone has left me here, Ill make it on my own. just wait and see. maybe if you came back down, youd see it happening to you. maybe youd even care. hear me out, I dont think youll make it out. hear me out, see the writing on the wall. burn your bridge and wear your heart out on your sleeve. you know you wont fool me. you made all these promises. you broke all these promises to me. follow your heart this time. did you mean all those things you said? even when you said youd never change. writing you letters you never read. waste my breath on paper. when you reflect do you get that feeling like you used to? and every time you run away. I know you still have memories. now that youve left. make me feel like Im gone. you did all these things I hated.
