Biography

The Classic Crime is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2004. The band's current lineup consists of Matt MacDonald (vocals, guitar), Alan Clark (bass), Robert "Cheeze" Negrin (guitar), and Paul "Skip" Erickson (drums, vocals). They have released three albums and an EP on Tooth & Nail Records, two of which, The Silver Cord (2008) and Vagabonds (2010), charted in the Billboard 200. In July 2011, the band left Tooth & Nail to produce a fourth album with the help of fan donations via Kickstarter, called Phoenix (2012). After the success they found in the crowdfunding approach with Phoenix, the band continued using Kickstarter as a means to fund their albums, subsequently releasing What Was Done: Vol. 1 in 2014, How to Be Human in 2017, Patterns in the Static in 2020, and Grim Age in 2023.

LYRICS

What's it gonna take for me?
I'm on my hands and knees,
while all the poets fill the pages of loose leaf
I feel cheap, and I feel empty
We will bathe in the sea of disbelief, but we will not go quickly.
No we will not die so easily

And I knew that this would happen, it always does
And I couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come
I let it come

I still hold the belief that we are free,
that we don't need the rules to see
that despite what we've done, we're not alone
We're closer than we think to home

It didn't take me long to believe that I could do anything,
we turn the songs up loud so we can sing
I am true and I am living
We will walk through the valley of the shadow of the boring and burn it all
No we will not go quietly

And I knew that this would happen, it always does
And I couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come
I let it come

I still hold the belief that we are free,
that we don't need the rules to see
that despite what we've done, we're not alone
We're closer than we think to home

To home, to home

Across the water you call me, but I'm not listening as I sink down
Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown
I knew that this would [happen]

I still hold the belief that we are free,
that we don't need the rules to see
that despite what we've done, we're not alone
We're closer than we think to home
