Silver Speak

I have been listening to Blindside since the late 90's. There a band that consistently progresses every album but always keeps whatever it is that makes them Blindside. I was on a long drive a while ago and popped this album in, I forgot how much I enjoyed it. As Swedes they know hardcore. I would say this is their hardest album, not so much this song though. I couldn't find any video for this song, but here are the lyrics. Look for their new album early 2010!

Blindside: Silver Speak
from A Thought Crushed My Mind

They spoke their minds
As I stood there smiling
This brain understood their arguments
So I just stood there
Keep on smiling
Cause it's not on me they're throwing their darts
So why are they heading this way for my heart?

How come I'm the one bleeding
When you're the one being cut
And every stabbing word about you stings

An allergic reaction towards all of this
Have to respond, although without an answer back
And I throw everything back into their face
Hear my own stupid sentences and I have lost track

You have strength beyond words
And you have communication beyond my words

This battle is not mine
I try to forget
Every time they spit your name out on the sidewalk
And I will let the candle shine inside me without any regret
But where's your voice in all my talk

I'm an ant trying to protect my dinosaur friend
