This song deserves to be called so much more than just "sad". It's haunting, angry, sorrowful, pure human emotion, and absolute despair. All of that comes straight from his passionate rage and sobs that are so very audible. Simply nothing else like this track.

We know you are holding her close. We love you so much, Keaton. And you were *definitely not* worthless to this world.

fuck me... Did anyone else get shivers down their spine?

this song should be call making Grown ass men cry This is as emotional as it can be Rip to eiley

I had no idea Keaton passed. I’m so shook right now. I remember when I first discovered this band. I was going through the worst of my depression and their music helped me so much. RIP 💜

Rest in peace, Keaton. May you and Eiley be together again.

This is why I love screaming vocals, the emotion they can convey is incredible. RIP Eiley and all the great people who are no longer with us. Music is a wonderful thing.

RIP Keaton. Glad you’re reunited with Eiley at least.

REST IN PEACE LEGEND…..this is so hard to believe you’re gone.

Holy fuck...

Keaton is with Eiley today... 😭

Rest in Paradise Keaton. You've helped me through some rough times. Your vocals were beyond majestic, thank you for sharing your voice to the world.

you know a song is legit when you get shivers down your spine multiple times in 4 in a half minutes...

I cried to this one. This is the best written song I have ever experienced.

Take me instead … 💔 This doesn’t feel real. RIP Keaton, thank you so much for everything 🥺

This song is even more heartbreaking now that he’s no longer with us. 💔

3:33 that "Oh God, oh what did we do?" is one of the most beautiful screams against fate. I felt it like something I should have screamed myself, when I think of how my mother died leaving me and my father.

At least you're with her, now. My heart is broken. One of my favorite voices out here, bye Keaton

This song hits hard. I know this is about his sister, but it reminds me of my dad. He was what kept my family together and then he was gone. I was away and I couldn't even get back for his funeral. I've always been the screw up in the family, but he put up with me pretty good. Now he's gone. Couldn't be at his funeral, he couldn't be at my wedding. He'll never be at a birthday or a holiday, he won't even be home to just talk to. He'll never be there for anything ever again. This isn't for people to feel bad for me, I just need some sort of outlet and I can't find it. I miss you every day, dad. I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.

(Lyrics) How can you say this was all part of your plan. Start explaining. Crafted from hope and hospital beds, shes gone. And honestly... You fed a dose of comatose to what I love most. Death is not a game with the ones I hold close. She was mine, mine, you can't deny. Three years is too quick to die. Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume. I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure. God, why didn't choose me over her? Tell me shes listening as i search for signs Of why I'm standing. Left with this hole that six feet of dirt can't fill. So why don't you Just look in me in the eyes. Say it straight to my face. What type of man takes a girl from her place. She was mine, mine, you can't deny. Three years is too quick to die, Take me instead, you only loved, i only consume. I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure. God, why didn't you choose me? Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume. I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure. God, why didn't you choose me over her? So answer me, how am I supposed to deal with this. Why did she die, when I'm the one deserving it. And what the hell am I to tell my little sisters To ease their tears when they tell me that they miss her. And what about my mother and my father They lost a child and deep inside they whither. God, I'd do anything to ease the pain. That ripped through the chest of my brother's that day. She was mine, she was mine What did we do to make you take her from our lives? She was mine, she was mine Oh God, oh what did we do? Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure God, why didn't you choose me? Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume. I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure God I question your judgment You're innocent and pure. I'm worthless to the world. Tell me why you picked me over her... R.I.P little Eiley :(

Hard to listen to. You're holding Eiley in your arms forever now dear boy. I'm sorry I only knew your music because of death. You were beyond talented and gifted. RIP

I'm fucking crying, be with Eiley now and rest easy Keaton

From 2:44 onward... That bit, is something else, the shivers and shakes in his voice, the pure pain you feel for him, good god my heart hurt.

rip keaton .. this one hurts even more than imaginable now...

RIP KETON such a great vocalist. ❤

All I can say is wow. This band deserves so much more. This song is so deep. I liked sick and disgusting's ending but this blows that song out of the water. Both of those songs have deep emotion in the artists voices but this one just delivers a heavier blow. Great album. Buying it soon.

You were never worthless to this world. RIP Keaton

This hits differently now RIP Keaton

RIP Keaton, I hope you and Eiley are together again.

The hardest song every written by one of the most missed musicians. RIP Keaton, hope you been with your sister now you both are smiling down from up there. We love you! ♥

R.I.P. Now you can be with Eiley ❤️ heaven has another angel now

I held it together until "Take me instead!"

Reunited with Eiley. Gone too soon.

RIP Keaton this song as well as many helped me through difficult times you will be missed

You can be with Eiley now...

RIP Keaton now your with eiley I'm shocked and sad your gone now Keaton..

Rest In Peace Keaton. This song literally got me through the hardest time in my life. When I lost my daughter, a hole was torn inside me. This song literally still has me sobbing to this day.

As the father of a beautiful little girl who turns 3 in August this song rips my heart out but I can't stop listening to it. It's not always easy being a parent. 2 year olds are frustrating but whenever I feel any frustration this song pops into my head and reminds me how lucky I am that she is here, alive and healthy. I love you, Hailey Rose 😍

I want to thank my friend, Justin, for showing me this band... This is real music.

Just found out about his passing, and been listening to them for years. What a loss, I hope he's in a better place and with her :(

I'm sorry Keaton for your loss I can't imagine ever loosing my twin sister. Such an amazing song and solid album from you gents " Benjamin we're meant to loose the people we love how else would we know how important they're to us"

Go be with Eiley now, sleep in peace you beautiful soul😢😢😢

I'd like to know how anyone can dislike this song. Where are your hearts at? I've never felt so much emotion jammed pack in a song until now. I tip my hat to Keaton. Sorry for your loss.

This song is so haunting... ive listened to this for 3 hours straight... I have never seen lyrics so well placed... There is so much emotion in this song... I have always loved Too Close To Touch, but this performance has easily landed them as my favorite band... I feel for Keaton so much... I only hope to see you play live...

I never got to see them in concert, and tell Keaton how his voice and songs got me over my own suicidal endeavors, how, although tested by the same emotions he shared in his songs... ultimately it saved me from myself knowing I wasn't alone. That others have experienced it so deeply and can express it in such an artful form. It gave me closure, but losing Keaton is like an open wound, it feels as though the light that once inspired me has dimmed, dead, and gone. It hurts so much, I wish I got the chance to share with him better thoughts than these.

Rest in peace, I hope your with eiley

This might be the best song I've heard all year...

Rip Keaton 🖤 Still can’t believe it…

I just listened to the album. Holy fuck. I can tell that Keaton went through a lot of pain and wrote through it, and the result is this emotionally riveting album. It really made me sit and think the entire way through, and it helped me allow myself to be more aware of the pain I'm going through right now. I'm definitely buying this album with my next check. Brilliant job Too Close to Touch.

Couldn't understand the hype over this song at first, then I listened to it and read the lyrics... I have honestly never cried at a song before but jeeze this made me a blubbering wreck. Absolutely beautiful song guys, I cannot ever praise this band enough. You have my life long respect even if one day I lose your music.

the bridge is so unclean... it's so beautiful, in a sense. It communicates that terrible pain where you are like crying so hard your entire face and arms are soaked in your tears and mucus. I love every second.

RIP Keaton,you and Eiley are together again now and forever.Thank you for all the great music your voice will never be replaced.💔🙏😪

This song rips your heart open in the best possible way.

Rest in peace Keaton. Thanks for everything.

Damn, Keaton's vocals are perfect to depict the pain in this song...wow This was a freaking good album!!

Holy crap the emotion in this song is off the charts.

The vocals in this song will always be beautiful, the absolute emotion in every word. RIP Keaton Pierce 💔

I feel like my heart just got ripped out of my chest and thrown into a bucket of boiling tears while my feelings are simultaneously getting kicked in the crotch

Keaton is now with her. Rest In Peace.

hope you're having fun with your sister in heaven now... 🥺 RIP

RIP Keaton 🤍

Really feeling for Keaton's parents right now..

Someone is cutting onions again.

the emotion in this song fuck, rip to your sister Keaton I know how hard this song must be to sing.

RIP. Dammit.

I am crying so much right now. You can hear the pain in his voice, the lyrics are deep, and the song shows a great deal of emotions. Im so sorry for the loss of his sister and the pain he, his parents, and siblings are going through.

when you almost hear him cry i cant help but almost lose it

RIP keaton :(

I get his pain...this is something you can't write without actually happen to you...they deserve more! Great band, sick album!

RIP Keaton.

I've never feelt emotions translated through voice like this. good God, this, this is real, meaningful music.

Rip

Two words.. Holy Shit. Keaton never fails to amaze me it's really fucked up that he lost his sister so young but so glad he can share his emotions with us through this song. Been a fan since the start saw them live on my birthday this past year can't wait till I see them again.

This song makes me hurt. I can’t imagine as a father. One and one on the way. The battle with faith in times like this sounds/feels just like that. Thank you for this. It hurts but makes me hug my little one tighter.

my lovely girlfriend just died 18 hours ago in a hospital, fighting for her disease and suddenly, her lungs stop functioning and this song really hit me so much. damn. speechless..

Holy shit. This sent shivers down my spine.

Rest in peace Keaton. The whole band have helped me through hell and back, especially this song. He was such a good vocalist and he managed to put emotions that are so hard to describe into words. I hope he is with eiley now❤

I cant say enough how underrated this group is...

In my opinion (right now) this the best song on the album. This whole album is amazing! You guys are the best!

I tried so hard not to tear up.

Rest in Peace, Keaton. 💔 😭 I don't think you understand the impact that you had on so many people, including myself. I wish that I could see you one last time and actually be able to talk to you for more than a matter of seconds (m and g line). Thank you for this song and for every other Too Close to Touch moment/song. Thank you for every memory. 🤍 Your WORTH to the world 🌐 was everything, IS everything, and WILL ALWAYS be EVERYTHING. 🌎 ♾️

I didnt like this one at first time, but then I listend to this once again and now I'm smashin' it. Great song, Amen

This is gonna be a lot harder to listen to now...

Thank you for everything. You won't be forgotten Keaton. I will sing every day for you. You are one of my biggest inspirations.

That "God why didn't you choose me?" I've felt that and dang

😢 The pain and emotional release from this album was raw, as it can be. May he rest easy. If you watch him in interviews, he seemed so humble and he understood he was therapy for most of us.

Just lost my grandfather a couple months ago. "Left with this hole that six feet of dirt can't fill" pretty much sums up how I feel. This was an emotional listen.

You can feel his suffering through his vocals on this song, a beautiful song for a beautiful little girl. RIP Eiley Pierce

Best song you've ever made.

This song makes me cry, I relate to this so much because i’ve lost a lot in my life and things aren’t getting better. I love you guys, take care of each other and never be afraid to reach out to anyone who needs it 💜

I watched like 30 times cant listen without tearing up...and ive never been thru anything like this...so much emotion

Rip keaton

I cried so hard, im so sorry about what happend with Eiley, this is such a beautiful song

6 years and this is still the most emotional song i’ve heard rip keaton

I've been so busy dealing with my own tragedies in life that this somehow missed me. why!?!! why did this have to happen!?!?! your words have been like poetry to me through so many bad times in my life!!!! every single time I listened to your music I would think that you were singing TO ME. I would think how grateful I am because there IS someone out there whos hurting just as much as I am and can create something so beautiful from it that can help me get though another day...I'm so so sorry for your family. I feel heartbroken and I never had the blessing of meeting you. that was on my list of things to do before I died. I might not ever get to meet you Keaton but just like you lost Eiley I lost Jaelynn and Layla. I envy that you can be with Eiley again and I still have to stay here and deal with all these emotions. your music is so much more special to me now. you can't put a cost on it because it surpasses and is beyond any kind of physical value. I feel like I lost a good friend. my heart is broken all over again.

"So answer me, how am I supposed to deal with this. Why did she die, when I'm the one deserving it. And what the hell am I to tell my little sisters To ease their tears when they tell me that they miss her. And what about my mother and my father They lost a child and deep inside they whither. God, I'd do anything to ease the pain. That ripped through the chest of my brother's that day." This verse demolishes me.

Such a sad song, but one of the best as well...amazing job on the new album!

RIP Keaton 🖤

So much emotion in his voice. So much emotion in the lyrics. Gonna go wipe my tears.
