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.

Fragile leaves hit the ground. the cold air drifts into my lungs. I see your face through the fog. reminds me of the dreams you lost. I can see it in your eyes. youre broken down; your hands are tied. I can feel it in my side. over and over and over Ive tried. youre broken down; your hands are tied. and I know you cannot hide. over and over and over Ive tried. it broke my heart. it felt so good to see you. Ive never been one to put my trust in. when did I become so weak, or have I always been? I cant put all this back in place. this gaping hole in my chest is filled with deceit. I fear that all my cries fell upon deaf ears. I caress flesh with severed nerves. I go veiled in darkness and disease. this november swallows me whole. and this may be the closest thing that youll ever receive to an apology. I close my eyes and I can see you dead.
