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.

GFAm Blame it on the weather that I'm a mess FAm And this February darkness has me hating everyone FAm And I know I need your comfort but this drama makes me sick FAm And the longer I lay here I know it's harder to get up without you
FmGm Lose another day here Dm7 Lose another year here Am I'm with you
FAm Find me something out there that's making sense FAm And it's just another trend hidden carefully in your dress FAm And the cycles never ending and the fashion's overdone FAm And the further that I run away the further I'll come back to shelter
FmGm Lose another day here Dm7 Lose another year here Am I'm with you
FFm7AmGmDm7 You are the fire on my apartment floor FAmGmDm7 Sixteen stories, I'd rather burn than fall
