Skylines 01:19
They say to move on is to grow But there’s still no place like home I never thought I’d leave I never thought I’d have to I thought I’d make my peace With this piece of the world That always helped me believe That this is all for something I’ll hang my city’s skyline On my arm So wherever I go I’ll always feel right at home I’ll hang my city’s skyline On my arm So wherever I go I’ll feel like I’m back in Chicago

What’s right and what’s wrong Must have gotten lost in translation Sorry or not I’m still contemplating where I stand The me that I use to be Would’ve simply faded into the scenery But lately The me that I see Won’t even recognize me Been led up I'm fed up Its you and me You were a queen I was a pawn in a game That I could never win But now the tables Have turned hands This is a warzone Brace yourself for the drive home This time next year I’ll be all that you fear Wasted days wasted lifetimes Hearing you complain like its America’s pastime But that time has flatlined After being burned alive like a campsite As I step outside your ignorance And keep a peace of mind for just a little bit I said my piece, so you can leave with it Don’t trip, but if you do break your fucking neck If all goes well It was meant to all along If all goes to hell Stay strong and move on

Nineteen 03:14
Been on the outside looking in Building up walls to box you all in Cause you can keep your hype, stereotypes And lies you tell yourselves Just to get by Personally, I think it’s hard enough Just being nineteen Personally, I think it’s hard enough Just being me I don’t wanna belong I just wanna be strong enough To either sink or swim on my own And I guess it’s safe to say The latest trends Weren't meant for me Been battered and broken for so long And though it’s a cliché My friends are what kept me strong I’ve been blinded by Expectations and lies Cause you what fail to realize Is that I’m only a kid With hopes and dreams That may never happen (And I've learned to live with it) Limited by the limitations of being human Listen up, listen up Maybe next time You’ll smarten up When I say you’re Not worth my time Maybe next time you’ll realize It’s hard enough just being nineteen

Legacy 02:55
This began all by chance It always starts that way Live for the finer things No point in settling Steadfast through every phase Open-minded to change The hardest part is keeping 5 egos in their place This may be more than we bargained for But this is what we strive towards This is our legacy For those who doubted me I’m laughing in your faces About how you’ve wasted Your time This is a piece of me And I bet that’s hard to see As you look down on me It’s like night and day The fact that we’re not The same kids we were When this started It goes to show The scars are worth The songs that you’ll all know Trust me you’ll all know Your cheap tricks, your antics Never impressed me in the least bit Not even sorry to be the bearer of bad news But you'll never see the world as I do So alive, yet so alone Waiting for change, but we all know Hidden in the fine print, where all the lies live Lies the truth and who was behind it

What seems apparent from your harsh words Is you hold the impression that I wouldn't fucking strike first I would've gave you The benefit of the doubt Had you stopped running your mouth Speaking on things You had no knowledge about This is the End Think about what you want Before it begins Sit back and let it all sink in The way we live, it’s always the weekend So real, you wouldn't have to pretend Light em up burn away the loose ends Tied in overtime So let’s get to the bottom line Despite what you had in mind I’ll make, you’ll break, every time. So let’s be real, I can tell you weren't meant for this Call me the tightrope around all your high hopes. Can’t go back, I’ve begun and won’t stop till I’m done. I’m calling your bluff, with words fired like guns Serving reality checks meant to either open your eyes or shatter your fuckin chest no need to second guess, you'll always be second best let’s face it I've been patient Preparing myself For this annihilation Fucking pathetic Another skeptic Doomed to be Beheaded Where you stand Is behind closed doors As for me I’m tearing thru the floorboards Your minds a graveyard For what’ left you scarred Reflect your insecurities And blame them all on me I want to represent Everything that you fear at least for a moment cause the end is here
