Emotion Is Dead: 10 out of 10
The only Tooth&Nail band Matt actually liked. Why? Emo. Emo is an excellent style of punk, and this album does it very well, incorporating slow and soft music with powerful punk, a dash of power pop ballad and even two techno tunes!

Lyrics to Emotion Is Dead
1. INTO THE DARK
Dad, your boy is about to fall
He walks the razor’s edge
He’s on the brink of fading out
He’s at his bitter end
Dad, your boy who used to run
You taught him how to crawl
He left home to find his own
Now all he had is gone
In your eyes I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I’d give you my hand if you’d reach out and grab it
Let’s walk away from this hell
Mom, your baby is on his way
He’ll soon be at your side
Cause he’s forgotten all he’s known
A part of him has died
Mom may never understand
Why baby’s come and gone
He left home to find his own
Now all he has are lies
2. DON’T PUSH LOVE AWAY
Here’s a thought, if you’re willing to listen
I only tell the truth of the feelings I’m given
Can you hear me now? Listen
Whispers in the rain, listen
Don’t push love away, you know you do
It’s all we have
It’s a chore holding onto a vision
Don’t leave her high and dry
She’s the one you’ll be missing
Can you hear me now? Listen
Whispers in the rain, while you’re awake
Don’t push love away, you know you do
It’s all we have
I hate to think hesitation is a burden
A bittersweet design for a lesson you’re learning
She’s crying
Can you feel me now this time?
Whispers in the rain, lying awake
Don’t push love away, you know you do
It’s all we have
Here’s a thought, if you’re willing to listen
3. TO THE TUNE OF 5,000 SCREAMING CHILDREN
We knew you’d hate this before we wrote it
So listen up, we’re telling you before you tell us
We’re not misinformed or misdirected
Functioning on your subjective
Your hatred only fuels us on
Now how about a word or two on you?
You’re an alias, an email address
We lay a lot more out than you do
We won’t be part of your revolution
So listen up, we’re telling you this is a business
We’re not misinformed or misdirected
We’ll make our own insurrection
So keep on publishing our wrongs
Now how about a word or two on you?
You’re a paper fist, a faceless attack
We’re not about to break like you do
4. WE’RE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD
We’re at the top of the world, you and I
We’ve got a lot of time and it sure feels right
Cause you reached in your pocket and pulled out a pass
That says you can take me anywhere
Sha la la la, sha la la la la la la
We’re on the top of the world, here tonight
We’ve got a lot of time and it sure feels right
Cause I’m up here running behind you
I’m up here running in repeat
5. IS PATIENCE STILL WAITING?
Will there ever be time enough?
Or are we just too naive?
I haven’t just given up
Oh God, I still believe
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Are you laughing at us today?
And is this just one big game?
Now cash me in while you can
We never were the same
Come on
Will you ever have all you want?
And are we just next in line?
Don’t throw out your one good chance
You only have this time
6. EMOTION IS DEAD PT I
[instrumental]
7. IF I TOLD YOU THIS WAS KILLING ME, WOULD YOU STOP?
Watch your mouth, hold your tongue boy
Because you’re running out of breath
Running out of time before every careless word that you utter
Renders you utterly useless
Now you’re drowning in your own saliva
Trying to speak yourself to the top of your empty world
Now keep on talking, just keep on rambling
You’ve got your mouth full
Listen here’s the pleasant part:
You and I, we fell apart
Why can’t you make up your mind?
Shut your mouth, burn your bridges
Throw your words like an attack and stab me in the
Wait a second, wait a second, what’s that I just heard?
Never mind it’s obviously worthless
Now you’re standing on your soapbox, yelling from the rooftops
Everything you say is a lie
Listen here’s the clever one who speaks before his thoughts are done
Listen here’s the clever one who speaks before he thinks
Watch your mouth, hold your tongue
Some things are better left unsaid
Now I hope you’re pleased
You let your pride stand tall
It danced within your words
Right before your fall
Why don’t you say that to my face?
I’ve had ripped down (torn down) so many things
Every thing you, every time you, every word you say
If I told you this was killing me, would you stop?
8. WE’RE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
You took away all my anger
We put away all your pride
Now you’re gone, it’s plain to see we’re nothing
Now you’re as the solitude of space is
We took it all away from you
You’d like to think you made us
We took it all away, away
You let us know that we are nothing
You took away all our pleasure
We took away all your pain
Now we’re gone it’s plain to see you’re nothing
Now you’re as the solitude of space is
We’re nothing without you
What you want is what you get
9. SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT HERE
Something isn’t right here
You’ve gone and left me on the ground
Something isn’t right in this world called confusion
You gave it all away before you could lose it
Something isn’t right here on the ground
You never said goodbye, you died
You chose to carry on a lie
Something isn’t right here
You’ve gone and left me on the ground
10. UNDERSTAND THE DREAM IS OVER
Here is my new disposition
You’re about to understand
Our theory is only obvious
To the skeptical, and at the bitter end
You’re staring at a white page
And the print is plain to see
Now turn the page and read what’s written
It’s your history
Do you understand?
The dream is over
You haven’t slept in years
Don’t be looking for answers
You’re better following trails
You’re staring at a black screen
Your body starts to tense
When two plus two is five or less
It’s time to question common sense
Silence is a secret
A weapon in disguise
Listen to the silence
Open up your eyes
Do you decide what you hear and believe?
Tell me who makes your mind up for you
Do you believe what you see to be true?
Can you tell me who owns the truth?
Who bought the truth?
What is your disposition?
Here is my new disposition
You’re about to understand
Our theory is only obvious
To the skeptical and at the bitter end
11. THIS IS YOUR LIFE
Baby, you say, “This is your life, well where is mine?”
How you gonna get there running nowhere?
Burn yourself out, die too soon
You see the world is only temporary
Everybody’s scared that they’ll be no one too
How you gonna hold out when you sold out?
Life’s a riddle, here’s a clue
You see a moment’s only temporary
Let too many go, and you will be history too
“Why?” You ask me
“Why?” I’ll tell you
“Why?” I will tell you
You gave up, baby
12. YOU ALWAYS SAY GOODNIGHT, GOODNIGHT
Did you really think that it was over
When you hung up the phone and said goodnight?
And did you ever think that it would be too much?
I can’t leave without saying goodbye
So did you really think that you could take it?
Could you make it alone tonight?
I never could have hoped for anything more
Be my angel if you can, alright
You always say goodnight
And you always say goodnight
So baby did you sleep and hour for me?
How I wish I was there right now
I wasn’t going to tell you I could change things
I’m afraid I never will know how
But I don’t really think that I can take it
Will I make it alone somehow?
So hold me in your arms before I leave you
I’ll be back as soon as time allows
You always say goodnight
And you always say goodnight
Goodnight
13. EMOTION IS DEAD PT II
Did you really think that it was over?
