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

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

(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
