Strapping Young Lad

Strapping Young Lad was a Canadian extreme metal band formed by Devin Townsend in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1994. The band started as a one-man studio project; Townsend played most of the instruments on the 1995 debut album, Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing. By 1997, he had recruited permanent members; this line-up, which consisted of Townsend on vocals and guitar, Jed Simon on guitar, Byron Stroud on bass, and Gene Hoglan on drums, lasted until the band's dissolution. more »

What you don't understand is where everything's leading
When all the signs you see still point to overload
As you reach out your hand, a shattered picture's receding
Like tail-lights along that lonesome stretch of broken road
'Cause you've been to the past and it's just a reminder
A recollection of faces that will never come to call 

When you've cut through the mask, when you've been through the grinder
Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all 

Up here in room 429
Seems like the world ain't so unkind
I want to take you to that empty room tonight 

In the shadow of doubt, in the crush of an instant
Standing in the rain outside my door hand on your knife
When you reach a brick wall, there is still a decision
Always thought if I had to lose I'd surely choose my life 

Up here in room 429
Seems like the world ain't so unkind
I want to take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we ain't never coming back no more
We're going to stay in here till we turn off the night
Till we turn off the night 

City breathes so softly, everything is sleeping
I am at the window silently watching
I can see you standing alone against the winter
I can hear you asking but the streets they are not giving 

Don't look to the ocean, restless in its dreaming
Don't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing
If living is for learning then dying is forgetting
Once we have forgotten then we can go on living 

In a lifetime of hope, in a second of kindness
There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone
From within or without there's no way they can find us
When they knock at the door the lights are on but we ain't home 

Up here in room 429
Yeah, the world ain't so unkind
I want to take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we ain't never coming back no more
I want to stay in here till we turn off the night
We're going to stay in here till we turn off the night
Till we turn off the night
Till we turn off the night
