Silverstein - Brookfield Lyrics






A 26 ounce promise
The bottle still lays there
We'll make a right on Brookfield
Never took anyone else here
The days I sit for hours
This night I tried to throw these rocks in to
This dirty lake that's home
You standing in my backyard
Your hands up in the air
Calling out my name one hundred times but I'm not there
I think you telling secrets
To people who don't care enough to know
Why I'm so scared
I'll just sit in silence
Waves the only sounds
A sailboat divide the clouds that cover this whole town
So if it really makes no difference
I'll just see you around
And if it doesn't matter
I'll stay here til the sun goes down
I'm standing in your front yard
My hands aren't in the air
And I don't say a word you know exactly why I'm here
A 26 ounce promise
The bottle still lays there
So bury me on Brookfield and then I won't be scared

  4. S.... N....

    I was going to say this. I'm not to sure on the stories behind the songs, but they might be in reference to each other. An interesting topic to look up

  5. R.... V....

  17. W.... W....

    @BluePhoenix2487 The album is called Short Songs for a reason get your punk roots in check before you start judging people for reckless drug use. You don't know them at all

  18. B.... ....

    Why would you create an album where your longest song is a minute 30 secs. Like wow thats fucking retarded. Thats what happens people when you use drugs. Drugs are bad mmmkay.

    B.... ....

    5 years ago you were stupid and unsuccessful seeing this comment now I can only assume your still retarded and unsuccessful

  19. v.... ....

    SAW THEM LAST NIGHT. I PLAYED BASS FOR "SEE YA BILL". I swear to god I love them more and more everyday.

  20. v.... ....

    Josh Bradford filmed/edited the whole thing. So he IS in the video... behind the camera.

  21. F.... R....

    Shipwreck is my favorite album so far. The whole album was a journey filled with so many swirling tones of emotion. Slowly discovering the fictional story behind it, connecting the dots, putting the pieces together, the tears, the goosebumps, and the head banging. One of my all time favorite albums.

  22. Y.... ....

    Pop-punk. WUT.

  23. M.... ....

    Wish it was longer buy still like it

  24. Q.... ....

    One of the best songs I've ever heard, Fucking incredible band.

  25. J.... M....

    Why you not a longer song, tres bieeennnn

  26. A.... L....

    For Some Odd Reason I Was Expecting The Poet.
    YOU KNOW, Shel Silverstein.

  27. m.... ....

    I think is wierd how people say each album of Silverstein has another genre.
    In fact, they just mix it.
    Their are just in each album some elements who are more stronger.
    Like A Shipreck In The Sand has more screams and vicious feelings.
    Discovering The Waterfront is more sad and hurt.
    Arrivals And Departures is a lot about love and the mistakes of it.
    When Broken Is Easily Fixed has a lot about being hurt and having a broken heart.
    Rescue has no structure in that tho.. what makes it less good.

  28. F.... L....

    discovering the waterfront was the best album they did that old shit miss me...

  29. v.... ....

    Awesome

  30. J.... D....

    Shane todd is god

  31. J.... C....

    Giving Up!

  32. R.... S....

    there's been changes in silversteins music for every album, most of them are just very mild. and in a lot of interviews regarding a new album, the bandmembers tell about how they changed up the writing process or recording process for the so manieth time as well. silverstein is the one band that shows you can grow (up) as a band without commercializing/standardizing your music.

  33. L.... P....

    Silverstein is one of the few bands that continue playing the same type of music since they first started. They are capable of something mote technicle, a new taste of music will be welcome by the fans Silverstein. Its time to tune it up like thrice, taking back Sunday, brand new, atreyu, alkaline trio and all those other bands did. A change is welcome don't be afraid to grow up as a band :)

  34. S.... M....

    shane kinda looks like jim carrey with long hair o:

  35. t.... c....

    wait they have another video that has that lake in it i think

  36. d.... ....

    Maybe, or perhaps more likely he expresses a wish. You don't have to be dead to say where you'd like to be buried, after all :)

  37. D.... V....

    no hay mal this!

  38. l.... ....

    go ask the producer of this vid

  39. C.... L....

    Where is Paul,Neil,Josh,Billy?

  40. B.... ....

    @TobyNorman777 In your opinion. I love songs like that. Fast, to the point.

  41. B.... R....

    that awesome moment when you live in a town called Brookfield. :D

  42. A.... ....

    @IAmKingTony imo , yes.... yes they were

  43. A.... ....

    Making an album of songs only under 2:00 = Dumb imo

  44. A.... ....

  45. D.... C....

  52. S.... ....

    @versatileXlover I met him in Chicago at the bottom lounge :)

  53. m.... ....

  54. v.... ....

    @SleepingWSirens100
    If this is true then iam EXTREMELY jealous but happy for you I <3 Silverstein

  55. M.... R....

    @TermsOfAgreement1 dude thats fucking beast xD

  56. M.... R....

    @yoonyul38 I just died XD

  57. J.... B....

    @zZRiseAgainst The Pentagram isn't worn by Satanists. It is used in many different religions and philosophical groups. Christians use it to represent the 5 wounds of Christ, Wiccans use it similarly as a Christian does with a cross (for protection from evil. HOWEVER, a reversed Pentagram, is considered an evil symbol. I would have to see the design Shane Told is wearing. Or it could be a fashion symbol used on a shirt. Much like a famous Motley Crue shirt that is worn.

  58. J.... ....

    Someone please respond to this: I'm catholic and i'm wondering if Shane Told of Silverstein is satanic. I've seen him wear stuff with pentagrams and shit on them, so i'd like to know. Regardless, Silverstein is without a doubt amazing and I'll still like them no matter what. I'm just curious.

  59. S.... ....

    Just started listening to these guys nd I got to meet the vocalist yesterday :)

  60. j.... g....

    AWWWWH :')

  61. Z.... N....

    Shane looks like my Uncle Lester now..

  62. l.... ....

    @dhpgoalie you're right, at least this is better than A&D. Proud of them for making it this far though, regardless.

  63. L.... D....

    i can sense they turned lively now, Discovering the Waterfront and Arrivals and Departures are like gloomy. that's the difference.

  64. t.... l....

    @yoonyul38 are you fucking kiding me

  65. F.... P....

    1:31? what kind of nonsense is this . please upload the full song of THIS. just this

  66. d.... ....

    @looktothesky6 They're better. Arrivals & Departures was awful. I'm glad they've shown they're back to "Discovering the Waterfront" quality.

  67. m.... ....

    i wish some one would cover this

  68. l.... ....

    @ImFlippVideos There's just something that was THERE on Discovering the Waterfront and Shipwreck in the Sand. And it's just not there anymore. Can't even describe what it is. Maybe it's that I was 15 when I heard all that stuff for the first time.

  69. T.... ....

    Oh my god just take almost every modern song out there, take out the annoying bridges that are there just to fill the time, take out the third chorus at the end which is also useless and you are at 1:30 too. there's no reason to complain

  70. H.... ....

    short songs fucking rules

  71. J.... S....

    it is still Silverstein :-)

  72. M.... ....

    @guano1234567890 Screaming to mostly punk riffing doesn't make them have an extremely heavy edge

  73. S.... ....

    love it!

  74. C.... S....

    1:35 is a pretty good part

  75. C.... ....

    Even though all of the songs are under 1:30 (which makes sense, it's called SHORT SONGS people), every song makes me feel like I just listened to a full song, it's so amazing. And, as far as style goes, I don't think Silverstein have changed a bit. They still have soft and heavy songs, all of which sound amazing! So just enjoy the music, and don't say it should be longer, because it's from SHORT SONGS.

    As far as I'm concerned, Silverstein have done it again. \m/,

  76. I.... ....

    @looktothesky6 i could not disagree more.. the only differences with silverstein is they've grew as a band and they've changed record label. other than that.. their direction and sound as a band.. is still silverstein... it's not the first time they've made a song that sounds like this.

  77. l.... ....

    Call me old or a hipster or whatever,
    but Silverstein ain't what they once was. :(

  78. M.... ....

    When it comes to post hardcore music the fans tend to prefer the punk or metal side more; short songs is probably great for everyone into the punk aspect of Silverstein's music but after coming out with an album less than a year ago that showed they still hadn't forgotten their heavy edge this is disappointing to people like me. I have all their albums but I won't be adding Short Songs to the collection.

  79. M.... R....

    I live in Brookfield!

  80. D.... R....

    There's only a few bands that make it this long in their career with succesful albums. Silverstein is one of those few bands that remain. They have done so much and their work is greatly appreciated. But it seems to be they're only getting started.

    Short Songs not only proves how talented Silverstein actually is but it shows how much they've grow up since day one. It is an amazing album to listen to. I just cannot get enough.

  81. n.... ....

    Goddamn, I'm so excited for this. It has been a while since Silverstein has grabbed my attention, and I know this is going to do the trick.

  82. A.... A....

    Shane has gotten visibly old. Haha. Still good stuff though

  83. A.... A....

    Silverstein <3

  84. S.... R....

    my town is named Brookfield. :D

  85. S.... R....

    @Cashie95 sigh...well its like glass in my eye! lol its not to bad i guess...and thanks for pointing out my shitty analogy

  86. S.... R....

    @JM777JM even tho i was mocking this song...you made my day with that comment

  87. s.... ....

    Short and Sweet :) Silverstein just cant fail! Seriously, my favorite band. I love this song and im so excited for the new album!

  88. J.... C....

    @dertuad what a shit metaphor, who doesn't love blowjobs?

  89. c.... ....

    GOOSEBUMPS!!!

  90. S.... R....

    I used to love Silverstein, this is a blowjob compared to all the other songs by them.

  91. A.... N....

    thumbs up if you totally repeat this one again and again and again..!!!

  92. m.... p....

    this were the best 1:31 of my life!

  93. C.... B....

    Probably the best minute and in half song I've ever listen in my life.

  94. A.... C....

    "Lyrics:"? lol.

  95. I.... c....

    Excuse me while I rape the replay button
    This is absolutely amazing.

  96. h.... ....

    this is beyond amazing
