The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen.

In this carousel, the silence is so surreal.

I've been misled down empty streets to the heart that never beats

Of a body that I can't keep.

We're blessed with these horrors for highways.

This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders.

Have we lost our touch?

A light goes on.

We throw our blankets aside.

It's been hours now and we still know nothing.

The scars just don't heal the same, when we collide.

I'd never say that we step to the other side to keep us from brushing shoulders.

But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive.

I'd never say that you make me sick, but you're turning all the questions to cancers.

Someone call in the emergency and we'll peel back the dressings so we can see

The kind of things that the surgeons see,

When the bloodwork won't give us the answers.

They'll never tell us, because they don't know whats killing us.

My heart's at a million miles an hour as we brace for the impact,

It makes time stand still, forcing momentum into a moment

So for a split second, I see your face

In between all the broken glass, hanging like a mobile.

This is a picture we'll never quite forget.

The surgeons pick, they pick at my body.

Their fingers dance, they dance all around me.

Hold still while they pick at my body.

They'll dance all around me.

Breathe your anaesthetic words to slow us down.

Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home.

If they sound like anyone, I would say a mix of The Colour Morale & a heavier SWS

Are you seeking the truth? Google "Truth Contest" and read "The Present." What you find may astonish you.

Like HLH sound but definitely not the face thrashing screaming I thought was coming from my post-hardcore. Still pretty cool sound.

You think that they would make a music video with a hospital or doctor theme instead of some haunted mansion theme.Hell, most of the lyrics are saying things like how we need to peel back the dressings (which in this case is the covering of a persons emotional wounds), but the "Doctors" don't know what's killing him (who in this case is the singer talking about said emotional wounds)Lyrics that talk about blood work, doctors, surgeons, dressings, anaesthetics... And they go for ghosts and poltergeists.Where the Hell does someone make that kind of connection?! That's like a song about... Fuck I don't know, getting over a bad relationship, and making the music video involve someone playing a game of Texas Hold'em.If the lyrics are making clear references or metaphors of a certain theme, keep the music video related to that theme. Don't make the video so cryptic and stretched in imagery that it loses any form of connection to what the song's singing about.

Where in this song do you hear PTV or SWS? Not that there's anything wrong with those bands but some of you people act like their the only bands in the genre which is far from true. PTV sounds much more melancholy and dark/depressing and SWS is far more angsty/soft depending on what album you're talking about. And I forget this lead singers name, but is voice is nowhere near as high as Vic's or Kellin's and he has a much larger vocal range. Out of all the bands I listen to, HLH has to be one of the most original. I've never heard anything like them and can't think of single band that sounds like them. I don't even know what genre to classify them as? Rock, obviously, but not metal, post-hardcore, punk, pop-punk, etc.
