I take my time to try to understand
But i don't fucking get just how you act this way
Do you know who you're messing with
I'll tell you who you're messing with
You're nothing but a waste of oxygen
I hope that hindsight is 20/20
I hope that people see you for what you really are
I'm sick and tired of your excuses
You oughtta know that this is war

You hit me up
when time was done
At work. You saved me by the Bell
Start up my car
Screech up my tires
Now I'm stuck in the rush
Beneath the Moon
You Showed me your room
There's posters all over the wall
Of The Wonder Years, Four Year Strong, and The Story So Far
I never expected this, it's so bizarre
My luck is rotten, pleasantries are hard
From the corn to the East Coast I will send
Meet me at 22 Walthery Avenue
The east coast is all the same town anyway
Each day there's nothing in the plains for me to do
I'm so sick of 704 high
in Champaign
Then we got drunk
listened to chunk
You know that in my friends I trust
Then we retired for the night
Knock on the door
I'm on the floor
Sleeping with all my clothes on
You got up to answer from your bed
You graduated on the 21st
Moved to Rhode Island where you'd go to work
I never thought I'd feel for you
Meet me at 22 Walthery Avenue
The east coast is all the same town anyway
Each day there's nothing in the plains for me to do
I'm so sick of 704 high
in Champaign
COME BACK TO ME

I don't miss you anymore, I learned from my mistakes
held my head underwater, but now I can finally breathe
over being used, done with all your games
and I don't miss you anymore
I'm finally free
You never thought twice about fucking up my life
I thought you could do better, but just saw through it faster
I'll live a better life a thousand miles away
I'll lock up every memory and make sure you're erased
I finally have some self-respect, I'll use it when I'm lost
to keep up that brick wall you built between us
You never thought twice about fucking up my life
I thought you could do better, but just saw through it faster
I'm finally free

All my friends, well they live at home
So why do I feel like I'm going nowhere alone?
Pushed to the edge now I won't give another inch
But it's not that big a fall
Another day, another scheme's been pulled
Deep down I know that I have no control
I read the words it brings my blood to a boil
It makes no sense at all
Just name everything that I could have been
and I'll tell you why I didn't do it
The answer always will be that I wasn't good enough
Im 8 to four now so the stage is set
I'm crunching numbers every minute I get
I'm almost ready to say sayonara to this soup can
Maybe this will get my shit together
Plus I can't live with my folks forever
I'm almost ready to say sayonara to this soup can
Just name everything that I could have been and I'll tell you why I didn't do it
The answer always will be that I wasn't good enough
And honest, caring, son of a doctor, not a two-faced kid of the early summer
Go thank your lucky stars that I wasn't made for this
Gemini till I die
Toxic till the sundown
666, evil tricks
Now I'm headed hellbound

I'll know I made it when somebody sues me for this song
with nothing to show for it
They think they'll get something for punching down
I know you're broke, but we're broker So quit grasping at the straws for your money maker
and I'll give you my two cents
I assure you there's nothing left you can take from us
we have no future, no money, no property owned
So put on a face, give me a case Go on and take my money
you're washed like laundry we'll fold you away
but know we're here to stay
what's gonna sell?
Just know that you're no angel
So put on a face,
give me a case
Go on and take my money
I saw your shadow in my room
but screw that and screw you too
I think it kinda looks like you you better dress him in a suit
my whole life I've been waiting for this but here you go again
you make me sick
you're no original yourself you just want to go back in time
so put on your face (put on your face)
So put on a face, give me a case Go on and take my money
you're washed like laundry we'll fold you away
but know we're here to stay
what's gonna sell?
Just know that you're no angel
So put on a face, give me a case
Go on and take my money
you will know that you've met your fate
when the 618 comes to set you straight
you'll forget what you're fighting for When the 314 comes ready for war

Heroes & Legends

Once upon a Time about a decade ago
finally off the high dive
Standing in the crowd, was a kid, once thought hopeless
Who took in eons of inspiration
Then
He found others to join on his quest
Some shifted and some stuck around
To create something never heard yet
If I had it my way, you would go down
As the greatest of all time
When all hope is gone we gotta keep in mind
That heroes get remembered but legends never die
Sing a song for your saviors
Never take them for granted
You don't know when they'll leave us
What's the cause, who's to blame?
All my hope
Is burning in the fire
charring what remains
Heroes get remembered
Legends never die

breakdowns caused a stir in St. Louis, Urbana, and the Tri-State Area.
Blake Mickens of Inches from Glory and Dan Wachtel pooled their extreme metal and pop punk influences to create easycore, but with Blast Beats and caveman riffs!
