Directed By: Jordan Phoenix

Say the words say the words
I don’t wanna hear
Look away look away
Bad things in the mirror
Twist the knife twist the knife
in my back again
Make you cry make you cry
then you’re back again

All that we are in a box
on a shelf that we can’t climb
To the top so high
We can’t come down

I don’t know where we go from here
When I’m with you I see so clear
You and I are suicide
But that’s just real life

We didn’t fall this far to break
Maybe there’s beauty in the pain
You and I are suicide
But that’s just real life

You said “this hurts too much
I don’t wanna stay”
Find a nice rich man
give you everything
But nobody else
makes you feel this way
Like a drug like a drug
that you love to take

All that we are in a box
on a shelf that we can’t climb
To the top so high
We can’t come down

I don’t know where we go from here
When I’m with you I see so clear
You and I are suicide
But that’s just real life

We didn’t fall this far to break
Maybe there’s beauty in the pain
You and I are suicide
But that’s just real life

And I would die
If you weren’t mine
I would die

Me at 2003 : "It's not a phase, mom."
Me at 2022 : "It's not a phase, son."
Welcome back SOTY.

[jaypee.]

I'm on my 30s now and suddenly I felt like I'm 16yrs old again ❤️

[ajd]

Still one of the best bands of my generation.

[chpstxZ]

Been with this band since 2003! Absolutely stoked for their return! This song is amazing!

[StephenFleming-puvd]

Just got my tickets to see Story of the Year on June 23rd 2024 in Franklin Wisconsin! It’s gonna be bad ass! I just discovered this song! I hope they play it! I want them to play this one and 2005! Both are bangers!

[rossmusic]

Been listening to them since Page Avenue

[duhsilverrfox]

HELLA CRUCIAL MOVE SHARPTONE. Story Of The Year is like a MVP, adding to the roster is really solidify y'all. So excited for new music

[michaelcooper]

This song has strong Page Avenue vibes, and I love that so much 😭

[Dylan-cuty]

It's not a phase mom!
So glad these guys are still making music. Page Avenue hasn't aged a day.

[BlessedXS]

Top 3 Band of all time yet, good song, bad music video. Amazing live band!!! 💯

[corydelorme]

did anyone else put this on repeat 50 times in a row? this made me feel like I am 11 again with spiky hair and jeans with pockets big enough for a walk man, the memories this brings back!!! Missed these dudes! welcome back SOTY!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[JohnDoe-mvbe]

Literally listened to this at least 30 times at work and came home to the music video. It's gonna be a good day.

[ayedeeaechdee]

I can't friggin tell you how much this song explains my current situation in life. Think I've listened to it on repeat about 5 times already. Even down to the "find a rich man" part. Like they made the song for me

[davidll]

This sounds truly nostalgic. Sounds kinda like their old stuff. I can't describe it, but I know this is an amazing song. Since Wolves was released the wait has been eternal lol, but this new record, i think, is gonna be awesome.

Love u guys. One of my top fav bands.

Edit: Hope they release the album next month lol

[davidll]

Jesus I love this band. Its very very underrated :(

[donzsky]

This band came out during my college days and now married wid a daughter, this band never grows old still d same music i love

[MalevolentMinun]

15 years later and these guys still blow me away.
SotY was a pivotal part of my teenage years and now as I'm hitting 30 this year, they STILL have an enormous influence on my daily life. So FVCKING psyched for the new album! Thank you guys SO much for always being just so goddamn awesome.

[SquareUpStudios]

Some of the hardest shit to drop this year. This has been on repeat 💯

[aliyam]

Yes just finished seeing them in Tampa on Friday. SOTY has so much talent and I’m happy after all these years they’re still putting out bangers! If y’all haven’t seen them in concert you haven’t lived. ❤️ #CuteFloridaGurl

I KNEW I wore my Emo's Not Dead shirt today for a reason! Been listening to this band since 2004, and the new song is dope! The chorus is already ringing in my head after one listen. SOTY forever.
