A Second City Prologue

I think it's about time that someone says something about this mess
And I hope that you won't mind that I'm stressing about it in my home
Is it still the place that I can call my own because it's changing faces
Every time I loan feelings, well they end up in the press
You've cracked the center and things are falling apart from the inside
You've cracked the center and things are falling apart
Things might look great from the surface
but eventually the problems will seep out
And I might use bigger words because they make your head hurt
Should I keep it in layman’s terms of how you hurt
You've cracked the center and things are falling apart from the inside
You've cracked the center and things are falling apart
Let's get to the realness of what's intact
Because not much braces to your simple tact
This is, this is, the beginning of the terrible end
How can we keep faith in every line
How can we see when all the signs
Are wrong and pointing us in a different direction than what we've planned
Life might be ruined because of your so called perfect design
But enough feeling about the past let's look to the present
And try to understand how fast we went in the wrong directions
You won't find a definition of perfection
You find it in your history books
You find it you find it you find it
You won’t find it

The Crash No One Heard

Everyone is trembling as the cabin shakes
No one told us this wouldn't be safe
That's when I notice the air pressure breaks
FLY AWAY
We're so high with no wings to keep us safe
Open your eyes on this day
Just so you know what's at stake
Everyone is holding on to their own debris
Floating away in this lost sea
We all know the end is near
There's new beginnings set to steer
FLY AWAY
We're so high with no wings to keep us safe
Open your eyes on this day
Just so you know what's at stake
You're reaching up for air no one will hold you there
And no one will care
FLY AWAY
We're so high with no wings to keep us safe
Open your eyes on this day
Just so you know what's at stake

No Beacon in the Night

(Boom) Was the light that came on when I opened your door
You quickly exhumed across your floor
Saw you laying there, that wasn't normal
It wasn't like this house crashed before (or did it)
Something different happened this time
Yeah no one called for help no one bothered to reach for a line
You were only my first savior
You will not be my last savior
When you came I saw the light
And you opened something up inside
When you came I saw the light
And whispered soft like Judas that night
No you weren't there but neither was I
We both said we'd be back here around this time
What happened?! Did we get tricked by the distance?
Or did we just fall apart alone?
I don't really know your side of it
But I know in my shoes I've dealt with the most of it
You were only my first savior
You will not be my last savior
When you came I saw the light
And you opened something up inside
When you came I saw the light
And whispered soft like Judas that night
And something different happened this time
No one called for help no one bothered to reach for a line
NO ONE

Do you remember when your elder was a lord, my father was a serf
This portrait hasn't changed except now we're on different turf
It seems the same rules apply your family's name reigns while mine
Do you remember when
This portrait hasn't changed except now we're on different turf
It seems the same rules apply your family's name reigns while mine
Just remains in the sty along the animals that sleep in your shit

Kids up in the park
It's late night, after-dark
The El Camino cruises by just like a shark
Shots heard 'round the rapture
The tragedy has been captured
The violent pasture paints its ugly picture
We've tried everything from gun violence to police
And we're trying to rid these killing thieves in many degrees
A Shot in the dark, on the streets of Bridgeport
We're competing neck and neck with Gary and Detroit
Now we're at full force top speed on this dark horse
Pick up your UZI SMG at the corner of Winkler and Moore
This place is almost see through
Bullet holes bring out red and blues
Critical mass is equal to America's Gestapo world debut
Heroes will never see their day
All the help is now on delay
Nativity of our Lord on 37th will continue to pray
A Shot in the dark, on the streets of Bridgeport
We're competing neck and neck with Gary and Detroit
TESTING TESTING TESTING 1,2,3
TESTING TESTING 1,2,3
You're listening to the flight life of three
Even with two co-pilots we are reaching terminal velocity
We are reaching
