Vancouver's By A Thread have tightly knit a new sound, drawing their influences from Seattle's Sunny Day Real Estate, hometown favorites Sparkmarker, and their own hardcore roots. Formed in 1996 by former members of Strain, By A Thread weave complex melodies with poetic lyrics that speak to the muse in each of us.

Lyrics:

In the lion house bewildered
So scared to sigh in your own true voice
How far is the way home?
Unanswered questions lay so deep

My own illusions are contained
My own illusions hold me
But I feel them, I feel

Too much silence came between us
And I'll dream again to meet you there
Drifting in and out I feel the weight on my shoulders
But I'm trying my hardest to keep control

Myself I won't forgive that
Myself I want to
Myself

I feel at home
Forgive me
