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 1: C#m You found a way inside my B head and left me hanging A by a thread Gutted out B replaying every line you C#m said And thinking why can’t I just forget it B and why can’t I live A without you. I wish I held my ground or I B could just go back And disappear from you

Verse 2: C#m Your eyes had pureness cutting B through They had me A breaking my own rules assuring me it’s okay B This is different you know we’re different C#m I’m such a mess I’ve B tried and tried to unlearn your spell A Uncross the line maintain my confidence B outside But this pain it won’t escape me
Chorus 2: C#m I let you in you A stole a piece of me B And now I can’t take I can’t take it A I can’t take it G#m it back from you C#m again You carved my A body from the inside B out Never hesitated A hesitated Left me G#m on the boulevard C#m here to bleed

Chorus 2: C#m I let you in you A stole a piece of me B And now I can’t take I can’t take it A I can’t take it G#m it back from you C#m again You carved my A body from the inside B out Never hesitated A hesitated Left me G#m on the boulevard C#mAEC#mAEB/Eb C#m(hold) here to bleed
