Anthony Green (born April 15, 1982) is a musician from Holland, PA. He is currently the lead singer of Circa Survive and maintains a solo career. He was previously in the bands Saosin, The Sound of Animals Fighting, Audience of One, Jeer at Rome, High and Driving, and Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer.
Anthony Green's first band formed in 1997 during high school at LaSalle with classmate and musician Tommy Dougherty (Junction 232). The band originally had Tommy on guitar and Anthony on bass and vocals. Eventually, they recruited drummer Evan Madden. Anthony wanted to name the band 'Saosin', but Tommy and Evan didn't like it. Before settling on the 'Audience of One' name, they played a few shows under the name 'Handsome Pete' in 1998 and one show under the name 'The Bill Bixby Experience'. Due to problems with Evan's availability to practice and play shows, they kicked him out of the band. Anthony and Tommy switched bass and guitar duties. Anthony met drummer J.D. Foster (Makeshift/Yellow 5) at Days Away's first show in summer of 1998. J.D. tried out and musically they clicked right away. The band recorded and released an LP entitled I Remember When This All Meant Something (1999). It was released on Break Even Records. Tommy Doughery was kicked out of the band due to conflicts with lacrosse. Tom Trimble (A Trunk Full of Dead Bodies) took over on bass guitar. Tommy Dougherty's departure was short-lived; he was back in the band only after two shows without him. In mid-2000, Greg Itzen (Carousel/Like Lions) was welcomed into the band as a second guitar player. As a four piece, they recorded a four song demo EP in the summer of 2000. That fall, some of the members went off to college. Audience of One was deemed 'on hiatus'.
I gonna put my pellet down
And rip the skin right off my mouth
It seems to be a part we can make connection/puddle we can make an eggshell [?]
Someone's thrown the wires out
I'm stuck in a place where all the teachers cant be trusted
Everything revolves around their appetite
Decisions become more abnormal
The more attention it gets paid
I'm enrolled as a potter of the first edition
Without the arrangement of the errors made
Something started happening to the people I love
None of them have spoken to me since
The way they used to back when I was just a little boy
It's different
My poor cities gone [?]
Rapidly beating the window
With my head
It takes time
Why can't I get anyones attention
It takes time
I get too caught up
When counting all the things I can't do right
I'm just around the corner from the crucifixion
Just around the corner from the crucifixion
Something started happening to the people I love
None of them have been close to me since
The way they used to back when I was just a little boy
Deliver him
My poor cities gone [?]
Rapidly beating the window
With my hands
Why can't I get anyones attention
(it takes time)
Down there
(it takes time)
We can't prepare for war
And prevent it at the same time
(it takes time)
Know I've chosen the sign
I don't know where the line is
