Biography:
Silverstein is a 5-piece post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario, Canada; formed in 2000. The band name was taken from the famous children's author Shel Silverstein.
After several lineup changes, the band acquired Billy Hamilton, a local fan who learned of the band's need for a bassist on the Internet message board "The 905 Board" (an Ontario area outreach board which used to be for local musicians). In Christmas of 2001, he joined the band after Shane Told helped him learn the music for the songs.

Found myself lost again

With even more excuses

I enjoy it You seduce

you take your turn
Chorus 1:
A
So lay me down in the

the trees in the tall

I’ve given all I can give

with broken glass This

run down block with my
name in lights Your

saving grace my final rights

F#m
11 Miles from where
A
I was when I conceded

You hear the demons

Calling to take

back what you stole
