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.

Never again. Ill slit my throat with the knife I pulled out of my spine. maybe when you find out that Im dead, youll realize what you did to me. and if my lungs still let me breathe, would you be there for me? if I can make myself believe, Ill give you back what you took away. no, I wont let it go. douse myself in gasoline. so dont save me when you come into the fire. Id rather die than have to see your smile. you made me swear. I cant sleep. realize all these things that you took from me. smash my heart into dust. suffocate my mind. tear at me from inside. smash apart what you created. how can I ever stop you from crushing my soul? it was yours to begin with.
