LYRICS:
It’s just the way it is
How did I find myself to be so pitiful and vulnerable
And I lay my head upon an empty heartbeat
I’m alone and I’m miserable
It’s just the way that it is and it’s hopeless now
I’ll never leave the prison inside my head
No one will ever understand the way it feels
To shut out the emotion that drives me back to you
Is that your voice that I hear
Is that the touch that I had once feared
Is that the way that you look now
Is this what we are
Cynical ole me, beckoning for company
An illusion that I dream of in a nightmare
What do I care if you’re here and there’s nothing left
Inside of your hollow shell
I’m still alone, I’m still miserable
Is there hope somewhere in this case of flesh we call our home
I don’t feel it
Mother, father please go back to sleep
I can’t bare to see you barely alive
We’re all alone, we’re all miserable
Forget my voice
Forget my eyes
My heart is content now to betray my insides
I’m really digging this softer sound.
I lost both my parents
Mom at 2012
Dad at 2017
And now it’s just me and my sister and we miss them a lot…..
Phil will always be an absolute BEAST, but I’m really feelin’ the instrumentalists here. Whitechapel as a whole blew this album BEYOND the park, and into the lake.
Damn, I love it when metal bands make a “soft” song. It makes me so emotional and happy at the same time. I wish that more people and bands had the same gift of being able to make this type of music!
Thought he said “we’re on this rebel” instead of miserable especially after he shouts it the second time
I can totally imagine David Draiman singing this as well.
Phil’s vocals are just perfect.
I can actually feel his pain in this song this song does represent me of my tailbone injury I had suffered from yesterday it was heartbreaking for me I cried in this song singing along while crying it was emotional I’m now actually learning how to stand up by myself without fear during my recovery I’m crying into tears thanks to everyone and all the continuing prayers for me I’m definitely gonna get there I started to have courage and determination to get back on stage where I belong thanks everyone thanks to whitechapel for healing my inner transformation and my pain thanks guys Im getting emotional 😭 your support mean everything to me including my boyfriend Cody and all the bands who supported me love you guys your my spiritual miracle family love you 😘
This song really touched me I’m crying with him I can feel his pain in this song this power ballad relates to me too I’ve gone thru so many pain in my life I’m now going thru devastating heartbreaking tailbone lower back injury I suffered since Saturday I’m crying so hard this is the most emotional song ever these lyrics broke my heart of how much pain I actually feel when my tailbone injury happened on Saturday these lyrics touched every part of my weakness soul I know I’m a fighter I survived suicide as well since after the injury of my lower back this is sick banger power ballad amazing job guys you inspiring me to be strong 💪 I’m a fighter myself I have a brother named Russ who is suffering so many anxiety and depression and suicidal survivor as well this song really healed my pain from the heart thanks to whitechapel for uplifting my spirits I will be okay during my recovery I’ll definitely keep the faith love you all 😘
Fuck, I’m crying!! This is beautiful
Doesn’t have to be heavy to be heavy
This made me gag.
I love this song
The only thing I have in common with him is losing both parents very young. This man’s voice when he sings like this makes me cry and it’s not everyday I find a voice like that.
How does this not have 1 million views? This song is perfection.
I know this is probably contrary to popular opinion, but I love white chapel and their cleans. The Valley was my favorite album with Hickory Creek being my favorite song, but I’m starting to have a whole new appreciation for their newer songs.
Wow, i didnt know the cleans where Phil. Amazing
my friend loses her parents, and every time I listen to this song I think of her, I hope to see her again
Phil thankyou

Trash lyrics
I don’t care what genre of music Whitechapel is doing, the Valley, and Kin are both illegally awesome albums.
People just can not fathom how good this album is that’s why they hate on it
A metal ballad at its best. Excellent band.
After Cal Scruby – My Anxiety, this is just the second song that perfectly explains how I feel…
Totally kick-ass.
Love this song!
2:56 Give me chills
There’s a lot of deathcore bands adding I cleans and I fucking love the evolution
“no one will ever understand the emotion that drives me back to you”, yeah, except more like *_everybody_* will understand, because such toxic relationships are the new norm, and *_that_* is the problem.
This song gives me so much a perfect Circle vibes! I love it.
Just three letters… W O W ‼️
Long ass journey keep going Whitechapel
This song is perfection! Phil’s voice is just one of the best 🤌🏻❤
This is not WC death metal this is exile. Someone decided making money was more important than keeping there integrity. WTF IS THIS 🤣🤣🤣 #mainstream
Whitechapel is one of the only bands that I wouldn’t be upset if they released a full album of songs like this
Saw you guys perform this last night. F’n amazing! Thanks for the great show!! 😍
Such sorrow but still such beauty in this song and what an incredible voice.
How did you go from such greatness to such emo shit? What the fuck happened to your music?
PHIL YOU CLOSED YOUR GAUGES
Awesome, just awesome 🖤
A big thank you for the music and art🖤
A fan since 2009
What a fucking masterpiece 👏
I’d only ever listened to This is Exile as it was one of the first heavier songs I listened to when getting into metal. I never would’ve guessed Whitechapel would have such beautiful music
True emo.
Good song
Good Deathcore music haha
AWESOME PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR KNOXVILLE ROCK BOY.DRAMATIC UNREAL PASSION!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is AWFUL just so bad its just noise and a really bad noise at that.
whitechapel is like if you took five finger death punch but they are actually good
This song is amazingly emotional
Unpopular opinion: This is my favorite song on this album.
