Lyrics:
You try and keep me out of sight
You try and keep me out of sight and out of mind
Out of mind
You try and keep me from the light
You try and keep me from the light, but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
You've chosen the way
But you'll never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
You're always telling me you're not
You're always telling me you're not, not enough
And I'm enough
You're always turning back the clock
You're always turning back the clock, but time is up
Time is up
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
You've chosen the way
But you'll never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
We've taken our knocks
We're not gonna take them anymore
We're not gonna stop
'Cause we've seen the world we're fighting for
So ready or not
Together we're kicking down the door
And we're not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No, we're not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore

His voice is like wine...
The older it gets, the better it becomes

[@anthonyfrench3169]

Totally agree bud. His voice was already good way back in the Alchemy Index days. But this new found energy the group is amazing

[@bryanf1091]

Who the hell would downvote Dustin's majestic voice?! We need to fight.

[@EckBawkLive]

Well the intro for the video was a bit cancerous

@@EckBawkLive You realize that's not even them, it's the people hosting the performance? Lol

Maybe they disliked it because it ends lol

Thrice is one of the best bands ever. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

I can't get past this song...and it's a good feeling after not listening to Thice for a decade or more.

[@thealbinoheart]

Yeah, they came back strong, have grown so much.

[@dariohc6898]

Last 4 albums are amazing

[@AzwraithPL]

Dustin's voice matured so well.

[@jaycox328]

This song helped me through those final dark days of alcoholism. Thank you from my children, my wife, and myself. You have no idea how much your eloquently put words saved my life. Much love!

[@ericantkowiak9099]

The audience is actually taking in the art and emotion from the artists ...
And it shows how powerful the song really is...

[@InSignsBand]

1:12 that man knows...

[@nathanielstephenbaue]

How could this not be viewed and liked more..? I don’t understand.

[@thelos3999]

That's what I always ask myself. Thrice is hands down the greatest rock band but no one ever knows who im talking about. Frustrating!

[@anthonyfrench3169]

I absolutely love when Thrice goes unplugged. Just the rawness of it all is therapeutic

[@Maximiliantravels]

*That's a really REALLY great song!*

The Dark You try and keep me out of sight
You try and keep me out of sight and out of mind
Out of mind
You try and keep me from the light

It shows in the way
That you never listen when I speak

You're always telling me I'm not

[@walkwithme4087]

Look at this woman in front of Dustin. She's eating him with her eyes :)

[@shiv_ring]

For acoustic performances, a silent intro would probably be more appropriate. :)

[@loganarowland]

What guitar is Dustin playing here?

[@DravenSlaven]

Both Dustin and Teppei appear to be playing Guild guitars. Although I can't seem to find a Guild that has the Crown sitting on what looks more like a T. Where Teppei's guitar; which looks like alot of Guilds, which I assume is a Crown on a banner. But Dustins does have the crown, and it's hard to see past their capos and tuners, but both look to say Guild at the top to me.

[@Choutsu]

Chords?

[@bluepearl_22]

I feel like this album does not translate to acoustic as well as TBEITBN did.

[@its_Obsidian]

blue_pearl_22 I think it just takes a few listens. It’s how I was at first with this album period. I didn’t like it at all but after listening to it a few times over I think it’s one of their better albums.

[@bluepearl_22]

@@its_Obsidian I agree with you on the giving it more listens part. I wasn't a big fan of it either in the beginning but what I soon realized was that this album is more quotable in terms of its lyrics and themes compared to the last one. However, TBEITBN still has more songs that translate better to acoustic than Palms imo. But keep in mind: That's not necessarily a bad thing and it even kinda makes sense cause Palms is more experimental and progressive than TBEITBN which was more anthemic.

[@mikethrice]

The crowd is stiff, it’s funny. Good jam
