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.

Smile in Your Sleep Lyrics

Silverstein

When I'm lying in your bed play the motions through my head
you know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
and I have reasons to believe that I'm not the only
one you spend this time with, but I'll stay...
[Chorus]
You say, you're weak,
you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep [x2]
When we met you said we were the same, you know
that we're different, we're different,
and all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken
[Chorus]
You lie [x4], you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, you lie
I deserve better than this
I dream of steel.
Maroon and warm, your end.
You gasp for air. I'll see this through,
I'll see through you, your pale blue eyes.
When you're lying in your bed, your eulogy's been read
You know that it's fitting, you lie.
[Chorus]
You smile [x4] I deserve better than this
