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.

Verse:
GBm Blame it on the weather, but I'm a mess GBm And this February darkness has me hating everyone GBm And I know I need your comfort, but this drama makes me sick GBm And the longer I lay here I know it's harder to get up without you
Chorus:
EmGBmD Lose another day here. Lose another year here. I'm with you.
Find me something
Verse 2:
GBm out there that's making sense GBm And it's just another trend carefully hidden in your dress GBm And the cycles never-ending and the fashions overdone GBm And the further that I run away, the further I'll come back to shelter...
