Silent Theory

In a society where new bands pop up every day, Silent Theory is here to set a new standard. The band found success with their single, "Fragile Minds," released June 2016, charting at #97 for Media Base Active-Rock and #29 for Under the Radar charts. It has since surpassed 2 million video views on YouTube and continues to grow rapidly. Following this success in June 2018, through Loudwire, the band released their second single off of the album, Delusions, "Watch Me Burn." The single charted at #67 on the Media Base Active-Rock charts. Silent Theory is made up of brothers Mitch, Scott, and George Swanger, as well as Robert James and Dakota Elliot Tyler. They are currently located in Moscow, Idaho, but finding worldwide success. As of January 2019, they signed with Paul Crosby Management (founding member of Saliva), released their latest single, "Before The Storm," and are currently finishing a new album to be released later this year.

All this venom that speak,
Condescending, No pretending,
Vandalize the weak,
Ask for seconds, no repenting,
Blood in my eyes so I guess it’s okay.
Burn the bridges, let them smolder,
Every sorry sucker looking over their shoulder,
For a little intuition and a lazy superstition, 
Just to help this venom with a little exposure,
There’s mud in my veins just to help me get by.
So help me lie.

Chorus: 
Now I’m stuck here waiting for the flames to burn me down,
It’s like plucking off the wings of a fly just to watch it drown,
Now my hands are bound, and my head keeps spinning,
If I just keep calm, maybe I’ll keep grinning,
Yeah the haze is thick, but it seems it’s thinning,
And I still can’t see the sun.

When you kick the nest that holds the hornet,
It stings the flesh, a toxin born,
With no regret, absorb the thorn,
Preach the hate, yet beg for more.
Pay for the ways that you help decay,
The shame I can blame but the price to pay,
Is a hefty one, a lonely one,
A violent vigilante with a loaded gun.
It was funny now but then it seemed so fake, 
You would think that a fool had a lot at stake,
But tides change, and lies fade,
But I will never go away,
Now I don’t have time to help you get by.
So help me lie.

Chorus

Better pick it up quick,
Better get it now,
This severed chain that I can claim,
What you could never find I found.
Now no one run, he’s got a gun,
They’re shooting kids, they’re having fun,
Their product placed, with a double face,
They’ve changed the way we’ve played the game.
There’s an oversaturation, every desperate situation, 
Should we emphasize exposure, maybe place a limitation?
Maybe it’s an epidemic, we’re deserving what we’re getting,
Are we destined for destruction or for reconciliation?

Chorus

Still can’t see the sun (x3)
