Cover, Alesana - In Her Tomb by The Sounding Sea

TSS- EP. 1- When Broken Is Easily Fixed. Hi, and welcome to The Silverstein Synopsis, my passion project focused around finding an answer to one of the most difficult questions I've been asked in my life: "What's your favorite Silverstein album?" This is the first chapter in my journey to give an in-depth breakdown for each of their releases starting with the album that started it all: 'When Broken Is Easily Fixed'. Does the record stand the test of time? Is the nostalgia carrying the record? Join me in going back in time to the era of MySpace and emote.org and break out your old studded belts as we dive back to 2003.

Please feel free to reach out and let me know if you agree, disagree, or if I missed something! Also if you have a memorable Silverstein moment, let me know, I'd love to do a whole episode hearing stories from fans just like me!

TSS EP. 1- When Broken Is Easily Fixed

Better Luck Next Time Prince Tut - ALESANA

Fire of No Verb

I’d fall for you but gravity has commitment issues

[Intro]
Welcome to the age of guilt for free,
Where every lie’s dressed up for TV.
You bleed for truth — they cash applause,
The money’s god, fuck your laws.

[Verse 1]
I see the system’s pretty little grin,
Feedin’ the devils while the good ones cave in.
Hate’s the product, sold on demand,
While the “perfect” assholes run the brand.
Fame buys freedom, crime gets blurred,
You pay your way — sin’s preferred.
The rich get off, the poor get burned,
Guess morals die when profits earn

[Pre-Chorus]
The world keeps twistin’ every side,
Truth decayed, and we just comply.

[Chorus]
SLAP ON THE HAND — YOU WIN AGAIN!
GOD OF GREED IN A SUIT OF SIN!
PAY YOUR DUES, THEN WALK AWAY,
WHILE WE BLEED AND BEG TO STAY!
TWIST THE HATE, LET THE GOOD TURN BAD,
CROWN THE LIARS, FEED THE MAD!
SLAP ON THE HAND — THAT’S YOUR REWARD,
BUY YOUR FUCKIN’ MERCY, PRAISE YOUR LORD!

[Verse 2]
They preach control from a marble seat,
While the rest of us drown in their fuckin’ deceit.
You said “justice,” I heard “sell,”
Every courtroom’s a carousel.
The innocent hang while the guilty grin,
They wash their crimes with a rich man’s spin.
We play their game, we pay the cost,
And watch our heroes get double-crossed

[Breakdown]
MONEY BUYS THE FUCKIN’ THRONE!
KINGS OF GREED — YOU’RE NEVER ALONE!
PAY IT DOWN, LIE AGAIN,
CLEAN YOUR HANDS, SIN’S YOUR FRIEND

[Bridge]
Dip your crown in gasoline,
Smile wide — it sells obscene.

YOU’RE EVERYTHING YOU CLAIMED TO HATE!
THE HUMAN RACE IN A GOLDEN CAGE

[Final Chorus]
SLAP ON THE HAND — A FUCKIN’ DEAL!
THE HIGHER YOU STAND, THE LESS YOU FEEL!
PAY YOUR WAY THROUGH BLOOD AND LIES,
LET THE WEAK MAN BREAK WHILE THE STRONGMAN RISES!
HATE TWISTED INTO HOLY WINE,
GREED IS A GOD, AND WE FALL IN LINE!
SLAP ON THE HAND — LET THE WORLD DECAY,
BUY YOUR FUCKIN’ CONSCIENCE, WALK AWAY!

[Outro]
Yeah… keep smilin’ for the cameras.
Justice ain’t blind — she’s rich.
