Every Time I Die is an American metalcore band from Buffalo, New York, formed in 1998. Their musical style is rooted in technical hardcore punk with strong Southern rock and mathcore elements, and is also characterised by their literary, bitingly sarcastic lyrics. They have also garnered critical and fan acclaim for their high energy, intense live shows. The band announced on July 14, 2008 that they had left Ferret Music and signed with Epitaph. Their seventh studio album, From Parts Unknown, was released on July 1, 2014.
The band was established by brothers Keith and Jordan Buckley, whose father, Michael Buckley, lectures Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo. They added to the initial lineup with guitarist Andy Williams, bassist John McCarthy, and drummer Michael "Ratboy" Novak. In their first short tour covering the Buffalo, New York and Toronto, Canada vicinities, the band met Goodfellow Records producer Chris Logan, who released the band's debut EP Burial Plot Bidding War in 2000. The following year, Aaron Ratajczak replaced McCarthy as bassist before the band released its debut full-length album Last Night in Town that year under Ferret Records, leading to a tour for that album in collaboration with Killswitch Engage the following year.
Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover
Dumb and pulsin' we've become
Bedroom door is an old black lung
It's arrhythmic, uninvitin' and pliable
With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us
Bore into our heads and found thoughtlessness
Never minded the faithless courage of shame
Or the bravery of oblivion
When I'm on her mind, I'm never comin' back
Two timin' is what it takes then we both know
One take is all we need, we're not equipped to stay unloved
But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright
Come on baby, give me the creeps, give me the creeps
Come on, give me the creeps, give me the creeps
Either you or I or both must go
Either you or I or both must go
When I'm on her mind, I'm never comin' back
Two timin' is what it takes then we both know
One take is all we need, we're not equipped to stay unloved
But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright
There's no difference between bein' holy and alone
That's why I'm eagerly fleein' the scene, lead footed
Baby, return the favor and leave somebody you love
What if they come back, they're drunk and they're lonely?
We all get lonely
God forbid, we indulge when at sea
Just the tempest, the temptress and me
Naturally bored thriller
Nobody knows the trouble I've been
Or the exactin' improvement of sin
I'm handin' myself over, I'm turnin' myself in
War has no glory like a woman ignored
So here's to the empires polluted with dead
And the truckers' wives who erected them
I know the stripper's real name, I know the stripper's real name
I know the stripper's real name, I know the stripper's real name
