To this day, this is one of the best songs by SOTY and it is so emotional and compelling for everyone in the band, you hear it throughout the whole song! Can't wait for the new album!
I can't believe it's been 13 years since this album came out. I remember watching this video when it was first uploaded. Hell, i remember watching "Wake up" and "The Antidote" in 2008 before the album even released. Also, can't believe it's been 20 years since Page Avenue! Where did the time go?
I've been a fan since 2003 when page avenue dropped. I was 6 playing need for speed underground when I heard and the hero will drown. And now I'm seeing them in Detroit for 20 years of page avenue
This song has been my jam since the sixth grade. So many memories! It was the first more off the radar song I got into. Still my favorite band to this day! Long live SOTY
In the night I sit alone Lifeless to the world I know Faith loss long ago In this graveyard I'm calling home Carved into the stone A diary of broken bones and Words I should've known But this grave's too deep to ever make it up I'd do anything, anything Just to feel like I could reach the ground I'd do anything, anything now To spread these wings somehow I scream these words so loud But they never make a sound I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So drag my lungs into the ground Lay me down In the night I sit alone The stars rain on the world below Beg me to explode But these dreams I keep are nowhere to be found I'd do anything, anything just to stop This weight from pressing down I'd do anything anything now To spread these wings somehow I scream these words so loud But they never make a sound I'm alive But I’m barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive But I’m barely breathing now So drag my lungs into the ground Lay me down Deep enough so that I'll never feel again Far beneath any chance at breaking skin I'm giving in All the promise of smiles and happiness That's a dream I'm not willing to admit No I'm not ready yet I'm not ready yet No.. No.. No.. I'd do anything now So spread these wings somehow I scream these words so loud But they never make a sound I'm alive But I’m barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now Tread my lungs into the ground Lay me down
+Sillencee Official Happy to meet a new fan! I never knew Roman Atwood even listened to these guys until I watched the vlog. I've been listening to Story of the Year ever since I played Need for Speed Underground back in 2008. Definitely check out the song from that game, "And the Hero Will Drown".
This was the first song I heard by them.. I remember staying up late over at my best friends house watching a music program on tv and this came on. Had to try hard to remember it afterwards. Fun times.
I have to relate to my previous comment. I have just downloaded the complete album and listened to each song. The one above is the softest on the album. Every other song kicks ass !!!
My question is, why this fucking amazing and great band and one of my favorites dont have more fans? this amazing video 1 million of plays one of the fucking videos of Justina Bieber or One Direction more than 100 millions...
I have an answer for that, it's because the public at large either doesn't understand rock music (for instance most stupid females I talk to think all rock is like death metal so they avoid it), AND their record label didn't market them well enough. They should've done gigs on the late night show for example that would've expanded their presence to millions of potential fans like pop labels do.
These guys are by far the best live show i have been to. they give a great performance no matter the venue. Ours was at the hampton casino ballroom in Hampton New Hampshire. these guys rocked that small ass building to the ground. Keep of the good work guys.
to b honest, this is the first song ive heard by this band. I LOVE IT! i recorded it on my fone and absolutely love this song! its almost...an inspiration to me while writing my book.
I've loved this band since hearing their mainstream tracks, Until the Day I Die and Anthem of Our Dying Day. When I want something hard but not as hard metalcore, these guys and Silverstein are the obvious choices.
Their music just keeps getting better and better as the years go by :) (which is a rareity with bands it seems). I'm 18 now and I've been listening to them since I was 11. Hope they keep creating such wonderful music and music videos :)
Im listening to this to face my fears. This song always sent me into a panic attack. Why? When i was smaller i was chewing on a piece of hard plastic and as if the world wanted it to happen, the plastic got lauged into my throat not allowing me to breathe, in that moment the chorus starts playing "Im alive but im barely breathing now" not to worry a few seconds later as the chours was finishing it got disloged and i lived, i had to lay down and my mom gave me Orange juice for a bit. So yeah i was traumatized and i couldnt handle this song. I today decided to face it, now im better.
I can't wait for 'Page Avenue: 10 Years And Counting' and then a new album! So excited for the P.A. World Tour and to see them on Warped Tour this Summer! Greatest band evet!
I'm Alive Story Of The Year In the night I sit alone Lifeless to the world I know Faith loss long ago In this graveyard I'm calling home Carved into the stone A diary of broken bones and Words I should've known But this grave's too deep to ever make it up I'd do anything, anything Just to feel like I could reach the ground I'd do anything, anything now To spread these wings somehow I scream these words so loud But they never make a sound I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So tread my lungs into the ground Lay me down In the night I sit alone The stars rain on the world below Beg me to explode 'Cause these dreams I keep are nowhere to be found I'd do anything, anything just to stop This way from pressing down I'd do anything anything now To spread these wings somehow I scream these words so loud But they never make a sound I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So tread my lungs into the ground Lay me down Deep enough so that I'll never feel again From beneath and in chance in breaking scale I'm giving in All the promise of smiles and happiness That's a dream I'm not willing to admit I'm not ready yet To face regret No I'm not ready yet I'm not ready yet No... No... No... I'd do anything now So spread these wings somehow I scream these words so loud But they never make a sound I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now So place my heart under the ground Lay me down I'm alive But I'm barely breathing now Tread my lungs into the ground Lay me down Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Clint C.

Well, this is the first time I hear that Portnoy will be drumming the next album. I hoped it would be Cobus because I have seen his A7X covers on youtube. I don't like DT much, but hey, if he can drum good enough for them, he's good enough for me.
