LYRICS:
I see a pain behind your eyes,
I know you feel it everyday.
It’s like a light that slowly dies,
but it’s better not to say such things out loud.
Just close your eyes and bite your tongue for now.
Don’t let them see you fall.

Stay strong,
hold on,
you’ve got to keep it together now.
Just dry your eyes,
‘cause boys don’t cry.

You feel an emptiness inside,
how it sinks into your soul.
But it’s nothing you can’t hide;
just forget about the hole beneath your skin that’s swallowing the best of you within.
Don’t let them see you fall.

the fact that this exists in 2018 feels like a warm hug from smudged eyeliner. we need more of this

[davidcox]

Me 2018: 19 Years old. Father. Hard working professional.
As It Is 2018: Dye your hair black again. Buy more eyeliner. Wear dark clothes.
So glad that emo is making a come back <3

[sharellehannah]

I love how he's challenging the whole stigma with boys and mental health, this is an important topic that needs to be talked about. As it is has got my full support 100%

[OscarVillapol]

It feels like we're back in 2005, and it feels... good!!

[guillier]

Music industry: Emo is dead, move on.

As It Is: 'Scuse me? Hold my beer

[sleepingcolours]

Is anyone else already in love with the new As It Is era? The way they're focusing on mental illness and using their music and platform to break the stigma is inspiring. They've already helped so many people, they're only gonna help even more. Love this band. Thank you, As It Is. 🖤🖤🖤

Even though I'm a girl, this song's message speaks volumes to me.

[demonlover]

This song has a very strong message about what society says is acceptable for boys to do. Like they can't wear makeup, like cute things, be "soft", or cry. Even though forcing people to live by this is not only toxic but a type of emotional abuse because you are hurting them in ways that are not visible on the surface. I love this song for that reason

[the_eternal_darkness_]

Finally a video that focuses on male depression!!! Thank you so much!!! My only problem is that it didn’t come out

[iluvpost-hardcore]

This may look dated to alot of people now in 2018 but i bet in about 5 or 6 years, emo/scene and post-hardcore will be back in style because of 00s nostalgia thats already starting to replace the current 90s nostalgia trend.

[kkyu]

I prefer this a million times than the current trend in music.

[laurenbabic]

*runs to bathroom and puts on more eyeliner*

[yatoshair]

first song I've heard from them.



Now it's time to follow all their social media.

Download pictures of them.


Yeah...

[demolitiontyler]

Beautiful... I'm literally crying now. This is such an important topic to talk about, it's so toxic for boys and men to not be allowed to show emotions, that's why the suicide rates are so high for men. Beautiful lyrics and video, I feel like this is a perfect example of the macho culture. Thank you, this band is amazing and I love their new sound so much. I'm so excited for the album, it will be great!! ♥️

[thatoneemoboy]

This song sends such a strong message and I love it. I’m a pretty soft guy and this made me cry. Well shit guess I’m not a boy now.

[ahda]

First time hearing these guys got a new fan with this song

[figsprout]

It's happening.

The emo Renaissance is happening.

[emoluka]

I’m a boy and this song made me cry because of how true it all is and how meaningful and relatable this is and ya know what I ain’t ashamed

[cas]

This actually hits a hard message if you think about it
