On February 26, 2010, Thomas announced that the band were parting ways following their upcoming "The Marked Men of 2010" tour. Between 2010 and 2013, he formed Just Like Vinyl and joined Chiodos. Andrew Forsman also joined The Monday Mornings, and Frank Black joined Chineke.
The original lineup of The Fall of Troy reunited for three nights in December 2013 in Austin, Texas. Each night, the band performed one of its first three albums (The Fall of Troy, Doppelgänger and Manipulator) in its entirety. During the VIP reunion show, the band announced they would continue making music in 2014 by releasing a free album.
The new album, titled OK, was self-released on April 20th, 2016 (three weeks after its formal announcement) through the band's website for a pay what you want model, in addition to a vinyl release.
As a followup, on May 20th, 2016, the band released an alternate mix of OK simply titled OK #2, which bears more resemblance to their earlier material and production sound. "OK#2 represents a different version of us; the raw fury you hear at our shows and our earlier albums." The band later released instrumental versions of both mixes, entitled OK #3.1 and OK #3.2

The Fall of Troy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now you're leaving, I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
See you're not listening, I'm clearly just not getting through
so if you're leaving, I won't stand in front of you
Tell me there is something
In this web we weave
Can't you see?
Would you come back
if I said all of the right things
Would you come back
if I didn't ever need anything
Oh baby tell me, anything I have to do
And when you read this
I hope you know these words are meant for you.
Tell me there is something
in this web we weave
Can't you see now I know
ou cant be everyone's friend, oh no no
tell me anything back and clearly
take back what you said
and summon what we did, but now I know
you can't be everyone's friend all the time
Whoaaa Whoaaa whoaaa OH NO NO ! OH NO NO ! ...
On the first day i hope that you would see the truth
but if you're leaving,
I won't stand in front of you again
no, no, no...
"Webs" by The Fall of Troy is a song about a relationship that is falling apart. The singer is expressing their frustration because they believe they have done everything they can to hold on to the relationship, but their partner seems to be just ignoring them. The song starts with the singer saying that they had high hopes for the relationship on the first day, but their partner is leaving, and they don't know what they are supposed to do. The singer is trying to convey their thoughts to their partner, but they seem to be falling on deaf ears. In response, the singer decides to let go and not stand in the way of their partner leaving.
The chorus of the song, "Tell me there is something in this web we weave, can't you see? You know this chapter's closed after all," is about the singer wanting to salvage the relationship but also recognizing that it’s time to move on. The lyrics also express their willingness to do whatever it takes to keep the relationship going, and they ask their partner to tell them anything they have to do. The singer is hoping for a positive outcome, but ultimately, they come to the realization that they can't force someone to be with them. The song ends on a sad note, with the singer saying that they won't stand in front of their partner ever again.

This entire album was so underrated. Shame even after this pandemic clears up no one will hear this masterpiece played live.

Especially considering homeboy is playing lead guitar and doing lead vocals EVEN AT LIVE PERFORMANCES... A true artisan

It's frustrating listening to this album. I think it's amazing, but I know I'm in the minority.
Kelli Horton
Every person I know who actually plays an instrument ALWAYS recognizes how talented their lead is; playing lead guitar and lead vocal LIVE is no joke.
