Thrice are an American post-hardcoreband that formed in Irvine, California in 1997. In 2000, Thrice signed-up with Sub City Records and released two LPs. The first, Identity Crisis(2000), only received 1.5 stars in the AMG review and little buzz. The second, The Illusion of Safety(2002), was widely acclaimed and received attention from major record labels. Even though Thrice's music has always included some metal influences, The Illusion of Safety contains a heavier metalcore sound than the rest of their records.

Blood Clots And Black Holes Lyrics
Thrice
here's your new drug
shoot it in the left eye
feel it on the right side
no it's not love
though it sets up shop behind your ribcage
building blood clots and black holes
like using an axe to pull
a sliver from your skin
and they say this is medicine
an overdose of oxygen
a severed head as sedative
to be at peace would be a sin
and surely un-american
I'm breaking
here's your new blood
transfusion took us all night
tell us that you're all right
no it's not love
though feels like fire inside of your veins
burning right beneath the wrist
begging for a razor's kiss
to free it from your skin
and they say this is medicine
an overdose of oxygen
a severed head as sedative
to be at peace would be a sin
and surely unamerican
I'm breaking down
lift the veil, it's not medicine
and my heart fails, time and time again
