Amity Affliction, The - Dr. Thunder Lyrics

WELL I KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING...

my favorite song from the album

I know that you've been searching
For me elsewhere
In the cracks beneath your feet
In the spaces between walls
In the dark wells of the mirror
In the place I used to stand
I know that you've been searching
For me elsewhere

In the black pits of my mind
Where the tar of my emotions
Swirls black and ever thicker
Where I retreat
To hide from life
I have the reaper in my heart
And black tar pits for eyes

I have the cold heart of the lost ones
And no love to tear us apart
I know that you've been searching
In the spaces between words
But let me tell you
There's nothing there to read
There to read

Well I know that you've been searching
And you've looked inside your heart
But under oceans and in coffins
Is a better place to start
Place to start

You can't begin to know 
The depths of the abyss
Until you've lost it all
Until you've seen yourself
Cause that reflection just
Ain't what it used to be
It sure as hell ain't what I want to see

Well I know that you've been searching
And you've looked inside your heart
But under oceans and in coffins
Is a better place to start

Heartbreak is the burden I bear
And the bottle's, is the blood I smear
Oh
Just burdens
Just guilt
Just loss
And just fear

Well I know that you've been searching
And you've looked inside your heart
But under oceans and in coffins
Is a better place to start
[x2]

This is probably my 50th time listening to this same song its epically amazing it really describes alot.

2019 anyone??

I know that you've been searching
For me elsewhere
In the cracks beneath your feet
In the spaces between walls
In the dark wells of the mirror
In the place I used to stand
I know that you've been searching
For me elsewhere

In the black pits of my mind
Where the tar of my emotions
Swirls black and ever thicker
Where I retreat
To hide from life
I have the reaper in my heart
And black tar pits for eyes

I have the cold heart of the lost ones
And no love to tear us apart
I know that you've been searching
In the spaces between words
But let me tell you
There's nothing there to read
There to read

Well I know that you've been searching
And you've looked inside your heart
But under oceans and in coffins
Is a better place to start
Place to start

You can't begin to know
The depths of the abyss
Until you've lost it all
Until you've seen yourself
Cause that reflection just
Ain't what it used to be
It sure as hell ain't what I want to see

Well I know that you've been searching
And you've looked inside your heart
But under oceans and in coffins
Is a better place to start

Heartbreak is the burden I bear
And the bottle's, is the blood I smear
Oh
Just burdens
Just guilt
Just loss
And just fear

Well I know that you've been searching
And you've looked inside your heart
But under oceans and in coffins
Is a better place to start

december 2018 and i still here o/

Ahren's voice is amazing on this song !

I hope they play this song at warped tour this year . Because I’ve always listened to mostly the newer songs but I’ve never listened to the older ones and in my opinion every one of their songs I think is amazing

Same I’ve been getting into the older songs lately and I love them I’m really hoping they do play it

R X right? Lmao

Deep cut right here, this riff goes hard as fuck

Listening in 2018 and fuckin loving it

P E S A D Ã O

My first thoughts of this song was... Why the fuck did they name the song after that shitty off brand soda? Lol looks like it has nothing to do with that..

Joel talking about the meaning of the song
“I wrote this for my ex-wife, and still best friend… I was really closed and shut off from her for the better part of a year leading to our split, and I needed to try and explain that to her, but without really wanting to try and articulate it to her in person; it’s still something I find hard to talk to her about, I can’t explain what happened, but I pretty much got totally caught up with life and everything I was going through, and instead of turning to someone who understands me more than almost anyone I know, I internalized it, which obviously led to a negative outcome. I felt so detached from everything I knew, and felt like I was slowly turning colder emotionally as well, which was having a really heavy impact on her, and is still something that’s a sore point… It’s hard to keep a relationship together when you’re too self involved to notice what you’re doing to the other person… Alcohol doesn’t play a winning role in the formula either, being constantly drunk and irresponsible because of that, always teetering on the edge of my depression taking hold of me; always subjecting her to some really heavy phone calls due to the distance between us, and then never wanting to discuss it whilst sober. If I can get people to walk away from this record with anything, it would be to try your hardest, no matter how uncomfortable it feels, to open up to those closest to you. It can only help, even it comes at the price of some initial anger, it can only lead to forging stronger bonds with the people who care about you.”

I feel with you! im into something similar atm too.

Probably their best song . Period . Though everything they do is gold

That break down at 3:03 is intense

666k views!!

One of my favourite songs of all time! :)

Favourite Amity song 😍

discovered them with 16, I'm now 21 and I still love them as I did back then!!

ReyToushirou Me too homie

ReyToushirou literally same here

I discovered them at 8 I'm now 14

AND BLACK TAR PITS
FOR EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

This is music too fucking, and depressive ;-;

One of the best tracks on the album!

HEARTBREAK
IS THE BURDEN I BEAR
AND THE BOTTLE'S
IS THE BLOOD I SMEAR

Adam Artz z

@chelsea dorato ok

Adam Artz bbb

To those who think it's Olly at 1:53 I think it's just Ahren screaming. He may be the clean vocalist but he does scream at times

@iAmColossus It's possible

he said ahren always does some screams. one word difference but it makes a huge difference. in this case, it is joel but ahren does do some screams and they sound damn good

@Obey Mors a good example of what Ahren screaming in studio version of songs would be "Blood In My Mouth" where you hear the "BLERGH" or in "This Could Be Heartbreak", he does a pretty sick growl in the background before the "As sad as it sounds" part comes on.

@Adam Artz i know he did one live and it sounded pretty brutal by amity's standards... if i find the link ill post with timestamp

@iAmColossus I've heard Ahren scream live a couple of times; he's a good screamer.

I Have the Reaper in My Heart \m/

I love the breakdown at 2:35 it's head banging yet really light/soft kinda reminds me of upon a rivers sky by I killed the prom queen or salute e vita by being as an ocean

I fucking love this band

me too <3

There old music is soooo fucking underrated!! they're soo good!!

This band is just mind blowing i haven't herd a song i didn't like yet <3

1.53 OLI SYKES?! O.o

+Matteo Desogus i think so !!!!!!!

Ahren Screaming

Its Ahren, he rarely screams because (like most clean vocalists) he doesn't want to damage his voice. Its a really raw scream like Oli on Chelsea Smile, but its a really damaging scream too

SBNDark i wish he did scream more! I bet he'll sound good!

TheAllTimeAmity sleepless winter

2:34 <3

That drum solo near the end is just orgasmic

+Jie Dong (TheLousyOne) 3:02??

+drake carpenter yass ^^

i can almost play that
i just dont have the double bass 

The drummer is so talented

Youngbloods is their best album so far

TheAllTimeAmity Chasing Ghosts is phenomenal

Some songs seem too similiar for me in Chasing Ghosts, though the album overall is definitely great, just like Youngbloods. Still, my favourite is Let The Ocean Take Me. :)

i like the fire or knife song from this album its great. tbh i love all their music and i hope they keep making music for years

oh ye these guys are really underrated and they should be more well known

i feel like their melodies got way to similar after youngbloods. like every somg on chasting ghosts is legit the same melody

Love the entire song, you guys are the god damn best man, heh love you guys, so glad I found you guys like 2 years ago, you make amazing music with meaning, just the greatest <3 you guys keep up the amazing work.

love these guys

love this song so much!

No one is the idiot or anything they are the best band ever, especially joel all of them are amaing screamo is the best music ever im not lying the amity affliction keep making music

+Jaelyn Churko

"No one is the idiot"?

Jaelyn Churko are you sure no one is a idiot? Saying they're re the best band ever is a bold statement and kind of idiotic

Jaelyn Churko screamo isn't a music genre.... It's called Metalcore.

that breakdown at the end its like... ughhh its too powerful! XD

Siqest song! Imma get Youngbloods Deluxe Version!

Ahrens voice though... Amazing :)

@kmaree17 agreed

kmaree17 the way he says heaaaaarrrrtttt is the best part👍😊

Another cool song from a great band.

Under oceans and in coffins is a better place to start

0:00 to 3:50 is the best part

@Rocker438 I think he was trying to make a point. :P

+wilson0213 you mad brav?

+wilson0213 Das the point dummy

+Rocker438 agreed.

1:24 - 1:43 <3

I HAVE THE REAPER IN MY HEART AND BLACK TAR PITS FOR EYES!
