Mashed Up As: The Quiet Screaming by The Legion Of Doom
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers trysts
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then you I can do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
all for an empty hotel
Wasting my words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I lie for only you
And I lie well
Hallelujah
I lie for only you
And I lie well
Hallelujah
So keep the blood in your head
(I lie for only you)
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
(And I lie well)
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
(Hallelujah)
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

This tune reflects the style of older Brand New blending with their new style. It's tremendously catchy and full of angst.

It's a great tune, and was their first single, from what i know. My friend told me to listen to it and i wasn't too thrilled, but nonetheless, it's a quite good song.

I coulda picked a better cingle from deja, but meh. It's kind of spoonfed, but still a solid song nonetheless.

As well as all of their songs on this album, this is a perfect song. The lyrics and guitar are just amazing. They couldn't do any better. Incredible song.

One of my favorite songs from Brand New. Excellent choice for their first single. The vocal arrangements and melody make it unbelievably catchy.

The song is perfection. the least emo of the songs on the album, but the lyrics if you listen closely can hit you hard and give you goosebumps all over your body. Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.

This song is by far one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. While Jesse sings he puts so much emotion into it just like he does on almost all of his songs. I love it.
