LYRICS
Let me know if you’re listening
I’m just looking for a sign
You keep building the distance
That divides your heart and mind
Let me know you can hear me
Let me see your light again
I keep chasing your shadow
In this maze you’re lost within
Please don’t go where I can’t follow
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
Then I’d be saving myself in the process
And we’ll collapse every word ‘til we’re speechless
Because you’ll soon find that words are worthless now
You’re twisting through the traces of my sanity
The corners start to fade and I’m falling behind
I can’t pull you back to reality
As the echoes reveal what you’re hiding inside
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
Then I’d be saving myself in the process
And we’ll collapse every word ‘til we’re speechless
Because you’ll soon find that words are worthless now
In my heart, I can hear you
Calling from the dark again
Look inside, I’m still with you
Right here where I’ve always been
Please don’t go where I can’t follow
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
Then I’d be saving myself in the process
And we’ll collapse every word ‘til we’re speechless
Because you’ll soon find that words are worthless now

This band makes me feel like a teenager again. Adore them.
Like discovering Breaking Benjamin for the first time???
They remind me of a modern day Sevendust - gives me that vibe. Love this group so far.
@kyleg-rover7707Dude, perfect example!!
@kyleg-rover7707 so right
@kyleg-rover7707unfortunately for me I was already out of high school when I did that
zero skips on this album
💯
Agreed.. these are the albums I get on vinyl and you bet I have this one!!
This isnt a new album though right?... got excited for a second thinking there were new songs
@YoBrand15nah it's Afterglow from last year
No lies told.
Its giving early 2000s emo, and I'm so here for it
It’s not. But I’m glad you’re here
It sure does and I love it! same vibes as Breaking Benjamin and three days grace! Love this band
@brandy4428three days grace and breaking bejamin as emo band? Holy fuck.. where are you bruh? Hurts to read.
@LayZR08 they are consider emo bands to a lot of early 2000's and 90's kids we were all listening to them in that phase of our lives. We all still do Evanesence, Paramore, Flyleaf, Linkin park, Within temptation, and many others are in the 2000's emo category for us. Despite them not actually being in that genre for the music industry, we all lump them together.
@brandy4428No sorry. In terms of musical style absolutely not emo. Culture wise? Maybe I can see that. Just because you have an emo phase and find your favorite band in that period of time doesn’t make that specific band emo.
This needs to be on a movie soundtrack!
i know they have a couple hits that should be in soundtracks
Cullen Moore's voice though in this one!! Definitely every song was damn good on Afterglow. I think we all agree.
Indeed we are,my friend 😉🤘
I hope you have the pleasure of hearing his voice in person, it is even better. So mesmerizing!! 🥰
cullen looks like a vampire hunter hehe. love this mv so much, guys.
I was thinking that too! Cullen Helsing 😂
THE BOYS ARE BACK!
I AM FUCKING UP THIS REPLAY BUTTON!
Video released 13 hours ago. Your comment was posted 14 hours ago. How did you know it would be this good?
@MrSkabeaters I commented within minutes after the video was posted because the guys DM'd us on IG. But it's not hard to know that the video was going to be good regardless. Everything these guys created is 🔥
@MrSkabeaterscuz the songs been out for a while
@MrSkabeaters timezones bro
This band has helped me through my darkest days, I cannot thank them enough for being there for me when I thought my world was ending ❤❤
My favorite song from them. Always a constant in the gym
"If I can keep you from falling to pieces
Then I'd be saving myself in the process"
in all my years listening to music of every kind, those two lines hit different.
Seriously this band is so underrated like many bands I hope they get recognised for all their hard work 🔥🔥🔥
I'm 53 and two of my sons are 11 and 20. This is one of our favorite bands! Watch these guys explode more and more this coming year!
I'm 37 and my son's 4 and we love to blast this in the car . Too bad they aren't more popular but they are a dime. Hope they hit it even bigger
If you get the chance to see them live, go!!! Saw them open for papa roach, and they stole the show for my friend and I. Absolute legends on the stage!!
@cadavher Definitely on our list! Thanks!
I'm also 53, but my kids are 25-31. I've seen these guts twice live and, wow. They sound amazing. My step daughter and I were nearly swooning from how rich the vocals were.
@PaytonORoark Nice! I'm hoping to take my boys to see them live!
Ohhhh man, chills!! Absolutely beautiful
After "Static", this is my favorite song by you guys! ❤❤❤❤
This song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow, this song truly hit me. It's so beautiful and incredibly powerful. I'm completely in love with it. Thank you for this masterpiece!
Someone needs to strap a rocket to these guys. One of the most underrated bands. They Have 3 Singers and they production is out of this world. I hope these guys get a Grammy or something for this record
My Favorite song from the album!!!
Haunting and beautiful. What a great setting. I love everything about this, from the location to the masked string musicians to the tree and the snow everything. So beautiful. Amazing video for an amazing song.
One of my favorite songs 🥰
The algorithm came in hot with this one... Subscribed... 😍😍
Why'd they have to get so serious? 😭
Love this band and they're amazing live!!!
Beautiful song
Fantastic! So melodic and still heavy, with an exceptional vocalist.
Good to see you Guys! 😊 Words Are Worthless is the most favourite song from Afterglow album. Cullen knows that creating this song will evoke powerful emotions by combining his vocals with the lyrics. It's a total banger. I'm waiting for the music video. Greetings from Poland, and see you in February ❤
Dude what 😂
Dang it. Tried to write something to comes to my mind and heart. I didn't thought that my words are unreadable. Sorry for bad English 😂
I thought what you wrote was great! It's a banger of a song just like the whole album!! Really just like anything they touch lol . Sending you love from Ohio ❤️
Love all the songs from this album!! I didnt skip not one song! ❤️❤️🤗🤗
This is my favorite song off of Afterglow. The video is amazing!!!
My favorite song of the last album
This one hit different this morning. Its like a replay of conversations id had with God prior to surrendering the fight and letting him live through me. My words always seemed worthless. And now i seek his face daily and have the best relationship. Praying you all get to the point where you feel like your words arent worthless
These dudes are awesome.... and they are AMAZING live. Sound and performance.
My favourite song by you got a music-video?! You made my day!🖤🔥
This song in particular is just special the violin the lyrics the build up its amazing static might have the best beat but this song has the best overall tone to it i think its the best song of sleep theory
