“Face of the Earth” is the third track of the album I Am Alive In Everything I Touch by the Canadian band Silverstein.
Like the other songs on the album, the lyrics revolve around a specific city. In this case, it’s Chicago, IL. Lead singer Shane Told describes the band’s experiences with the city...
[Verse 1]
They take our pictures as Angels and Kings
We’re all pretending we’re someone
One percenters or stars to be, jewels of the Midwest
It’s always taken the best of me
Locked it away and broke the key
To this house of stairs and misery
At the bottom displaced me
[Chorus]
Fake and make no hesitation
Secretly hoping this will be the last time
Break, despise our desperation
Secretly wishing we fell off the face of the earth
Off the face of the earth
[Verse 2]
The ice is running through my veins
I can’t feel a thing
Emotionless as I bring you down with me
We both take advantage
[Chorus]
Fake and make no hesitation
Secretly hoping this will be the last time
Break, despise our desperation
Secretly wishing we fell off the face of the earth
[Bridge]
In my dreams, brakes are failing as I’m losing all my teeth
I can’t breathe, fingers stretching out and pointing at me
In my dreams, I’m falling even faster, dying in my sleep
[Chorus]
Fake and make no hesitation
Secretly hoping this will be the last time
Break, despise our desperation
Secretly wishing we fell off the face of the earth
Off the face of the earth
[Outro]
Off the face of the earth
(And make no hesitation)
I fell off the face of the earth
Face of the Earth was written by Shane Told.
Face of the Earth was produced by Jordan Valeriote.
Silverstein released Face of the Earth on Tue May 19 2015.
