Let's give 'em hell down the stretch with the same ol' song. So hold your breath till the time they're not looking on. And if the coast is clear then just follow us to everything that they told you was wrong. If we could just start over and look past the way things used to be. If I could turn back the hands of time, I'd save you from calamity. Let's propose a toast to the future you'll never have. So raise your glass. Here's to you and the life you left behind. When the going gets tough you always seem to fade away. You're just down and out. Forget your dreams. We'll go our separate ways. This is the road that we're following down. We struggle in the search for some common ground. I won't falter. I'll step back so you fall harder. Let's propose a toast to the future you'll never have. So raise your glass. Here's to you and the life you left behind. And now for the moment you've all been waiting for. We're calling you out. If we put you in a hole, could you even dig your way out? Or would you just close your eyes and suffocate? You thought you had this planned out, but you've got no idea. Let's propose a toast to the future you'll never have. So raise your glass. Here's to you and the friends you left behind. Let's propose a toast to the future you'll never have. So raise your glass. Here's to you and the life you left behind.

I've been around the block a few. And I keep running. I'm running on empty and I can't sleep without you next to me. When all else fails I'm throwing rocks at your window. In the pouring rain with my heart in my hands, this is all I have to give. I'll never let you down when I carry you home. Take my hand and together we'll take the world. Let's stay out all night like it was the first time in our lives. No matter what you've been through I'll be the one that carries you. They tell me, tell me that you're a bad news bear. We'll show them that we don't care. No, we don't care. What does he got that I don't have? Scrubs like him are a dime a dozen. A deadbeat waste goin' nowhere fast. This is a heartbeat race that he'll finish last. Why didn't I say something sooner than this? Because I'm so damn good at running my mouth that I couldn't slow down and I never stood a chance because you kept him around. When all else fails I'll put a bat through his window. In the pouring rain with his dick in his hand, he has nothing left to give. Let's stay out all night like it was the first time in our lives. No matter what you've been through I'll be the one that carries you. They tell me, tell me that you're a bad news bear. We'll show them that we don't care. No, we don't care. It's time to show them that this is worth fighting for. I'll take a knife to the chest before I give this up. There's not a minute that I'm with you that's considered enough. I'm in it for the long haul now, baby. There's not a doubt in my mind that if I fall then you'd save me. I'm in it for the long haul now, baby. Let's stay out all night like it was the first time in our lives. No matter what you've been through I'll be the one that carries you. Don't forget where you came from. Don't forget how this started. Just two small town kids in a one-bedroom apartment. They tell me, tell me that you're a bad news bear. We'll show them that we don't care. No, we don't care.

Let's piece it together. We're better than this. Wiith the hardships and struggles that I wouldn't miss. This life is only what you make it. It's not hard to bring yourself to believe that this is who we are and this is what we need. And I feel when you break, when you make those mistakes that will bring you down. That will bring us down. All you've ever known was giving up, but tough love was never enough. I push and you shove. I push and you shove. Now it's time to stand on solid ground. It's all downhill from here now. Just don't fall when you lose your grip on everything that keeps you close. I have a feeling that I'll have to tell you more than once to pick your head up and hold it high. So, pick your head up and hold it high. Don't let them steal the light from your eyes. You put up a fight until the bitter end. Don't give in now and turn your back on your friends. Face forward. Chin up, chin up. It's time to step up and get your shit together. All you've ever known was giving up, but tough love was never enough. I push and you shove. I push and you shove. Now it's time to stand on solid ground. It's all downhill from here now. Just don't fall when you lose your grip on everything that keeps you close. Let's go. It's just a matter of time before it falls apart and you're the only one left standing all alone. We've got your back when your world comes crashing down on you. We'll show you everything you though you knew. We're the best friends that will carry you. All you've ever known was giving up, but tough love was never enough. I push and you shove. I push and you shove. Now it's time to stand on solid ground. It's all downhill from here now. Just don't fall when you lose your grip on everything that keeps you close.

Whoa, oh. I don't wanna hear it. Whoa, oh. We're not gonna take this. I feel so wasted without direction. I can't imagine who I wanna be, but every time that I fall I pick myself up. I may be broken, but never beaten. This is where I make my stand. You'll never take me alive. They always said that we'd amount to nothing. You're one to talk. We've found a way to rise above. We'll tear down the walls that stand in our way. We're kings and queens and vagabonds. I've been afraid for far too long now. The time has come to write this all down page by page and piece by piece. I'm living up to my word and I won't accept defeat. Day by day we'll set the fires and our torches will stay lit to keep ourselves alive. The weight of the world isn't as heavy as our hearts and we'll swallow pride with our words tonight. We will never fall apart. They always said that we'd amount to nothing. You're one to talk. We've found a way to rise above. We'll tear down the walls that stand in our way. We're kings and queens and vagabonds. You can shake the ground beneath me. You can use your words to decieve me. We will resist. We will stand strong. You will never take us alive. They always said that we'd amount to nothing. Don't tell me how to live my life. Whoa, oh. I don't wanna hear it. Whoa, oh. We're not gonna take this.

We stand tall and fight for what we love, for who we are. Break free from the shackles and show your heart. You get one chance, just one shot. It's time to make it count. Stand your ground. Make a sound so deafening that they will believe. You just wanna see me fall, but your simple world means nothing to me at all. You're just an eyesore spreading disease to the things that I live to fight for. Stand aside and let me shine. You're only holding me back. These dreams aren't so far away. I hope I live to see the day where everything I love becomes reality. All we have is forever on broken wings and crippled faith. I'll never let your insecurities get the best of me. We press onward into the horizon's final resting place. Into the deep, we walk alone. This is a fallen dream. Why can't we wake up? Wake up! Open your eyes and accept the light. Let me hear you if you feel alive. These dreams aren't so far away. I hope I live to see the day where everything I love becomes reality. All we have is forever on broken wings and crippled faith. I'll never let your insecurities get the best of me. This is all that I have left. This is everything I'll hold onto. Forever true. You will never take this away from me. Stand your ground. Make a sound so deafening that they will believe.

She's picture perfect and it seemed so right. We were young and in love just livin' the good life, but things aren't always what they seem. She turns into the drama queen. So run, tell everyone. Show them all how you play the victim. Go ahead and call me crazy, but I am what you made me. I just wanna get over this, but you keep coming back and you're talking your shit. You've gone overboard. I've got nothing left to say. And everything we ever had was just a little game to you. You're sick and twisted. I'll never miss it. And every chance you get you'll fuck thing up again. So lemme drop a little spoiler alert: this ends with you face down on the pavement now. When 2 o'clock comes rollin' around don't count on me for the old in and out. Your glamour kills, but I see right through you. What kind of fool do you take me for? What kind of fool do you take me for? I just wanna get over this, but you keep coming back and you're talking your shit. You've gone overboard. I've got nothing left to say. And everything we ever had was just a little game to you. You're sick and twisted. I'll never miss it. And every chance you get you'll fuck thing up again. So lemme drop a little spoiler alert: this ends with you face down on the pavement now. I just wanna get over this, but you keep coming back and you're talking your shit. You've gone overboard. I've got nothing left to say. This ends with you face down on the pavement now. This one's for the knockout. I wanna see you dead. Every moment spent with you is my biggest regret. You're a bitch, just a cunt. A slut that nobody wants. You've got no heart. That's why they call you a whore. I just wanna get over this, but you keep coming back and you're talking your shit. You've gone overboard. I've got nothing left to say. And everything we ever had was just a little game to you. You're sick and twisted. I'll never miss it. And every chance you get you'll fuck thing up again. So lemme drop a little spoiler alert: this ends with you face down on the pavement now.

Holla at me, tell me how you've been livin'. It's been six months. You haven't made a decision. You're on both sides of the fence while I'm waiting on phone calls. Let's get this pity party started. What the hell are we waiting for? And it's to say you never learned to live life for today. And it's such a shame. Tripping on your own feet taking everything out on your way. This is a shakedown. Another shakedown. I'm over it. I'm tired and you're played out. Another let down. I'll never back down. I'm over this, so get over yourself. I've been calling for days and you won't say a thing because you're down on your luck. How could you lead me astray this way? I don't know why I hold so dear to these posing friends that are really my enemies. I always seem to brush the dirt the dirt off my shoulders and if you can't stand tall then this whole thing is over. Let's blow the show up. It's time to grow up. It's the same old shit, just a different day. And if you feel this way you've got nobody to blame but yourself. And no one's watchin' out for you tonight. And, when the party's over and you can't stay sober, there's not a thing that can save you from yourself. There's no one watching you now. There's not a thing that can save you from yourself. This is a shakedown. Another shakedown. I'm over it. I'm tired and you're played out. Another let down. I'll never back down. I'm over this, so get over yourself. I've been calling for days and you won't say a thing because you're down on your luck. How could you lead me astray this way? I don't know why I hold so dear to these posing friends that are really my enemies. I think it's funny when you fall on your face, haha. It's quite pathetic that you're still in the same place. I only want you to see yourself for who you really are. Behind these walls we're just flesh and bones. You've burnt up your bridges in this life. You'll never be able to get this right. This is a shakedown. Another shakedown. I'm over it. I'm tired and you're played out. Another let down. I'll never back down. I'm over this, so get over yourself. I've been calling for days and you won't say a thing because you're down on your luck. How could you lead me astray this way? I don't know why I hold so dear to these posing friends that are really my enemies.

We're set and ready to tear this city apart from the inside out to find just what we're looking for. Send in a search party. We're in need of assistance. Oh, it's going down. So take cover while we take aim. This is the only life you get and you're wasting it away. Cut to the chase, it's time to live it up. Grab your friends, let's hit the road and have the time of your life. Go harcore dancin', party crashin', Four Year's blastin'. Let's tear it up. This is the sound of what friends are for. Got my niggas by my side and we've got it right this time. Cut to the chase, three cheers all around to the boys who own this town. Everything we need is right here. Late nights with the guys and a couple of beers. Split screen, get mean. Fuck your so-called scene. I'd rather be front line than Third String. If you take life too serious you'll never make it out alive, but if I try you have no idea how high I can fly. Cut to the chase, it's time to live it up. Grab your friends, let's hit the road and have the time of your life. Go harcore dancin', party crashin', Four Year's blastin'. Let's tear it up. This is the sound of what friends are for. Got my niggas by my side and we've got it right this time. Cut to the chase, three cheers all around to the boys who own this town. This is a slap in the face. This is your wake call. So get it together. Chug away. Drown the squares. Say goodbye. Out with the old and in with the new. Don't be such a Richard. I love it. Welcome to the time of your life. Let's live it up. Cut to the chase, it's time to live it up. Grab your friends, let's hit the road and have the time of your life. Go harcore dancin', party crashin', Four Year's blastin'. Let's tear it up. This is the sound of what friends are for. Got my niggas by my side and we've got it right this time. Cut to the chase, three cheers all around to the boys who own this town.

You might as well call me a bird 'cuz I'm fucking angry. I will pull the knife from my back so I can use it to slit your throat. I hope you're standing on the bridges you burn or at the end of a rope. I hope you overdose on those lines you wrote. There are two sides to every story to go with your face. It doesn't matter what your vitals read. You'll always be dead to me. You're just dead to me. You're worthless, dishonest. Another worthless prick. You're the face of the weak. Wretched and diseased. This isn't over until I say it's over. Tearing at the seams to find me falling apart. Leeching onto love until there's nothing left. Believing all your lies, falling into regression. This is the last time I'll play the fool for you. You spent your whole life in search of something just to leave behind. There are two sides to every story to go with your face. It doesn't matter what your vitals read. You'll always be dead to me. If we hid your body six feet under it wouldn't be deep enough. Not deep enough, no. I hope you choke on these words I wrote.

It's time to sit this out and take one for the team. I'm listening, but I've heard it all before. You'll find yourself lying face down on the ground with a mouthful of dirt and those words trapped in your throat. We're calling you out in front of everyone. You're a ruiner and I pwn scrubs like you. I swear I'll find you. You've crossed the line and this is where I stand. I'll be damned if I ever extend my hand to the likes of you. The sky's the limit, but you chose the ground and I'm on my way to everything that slipped through your fingers. You stand in line and let life pass you by. Well, I'm back to the future like Marty McFly. Great Scott. Sit this out and take one for the team. I'm listening, but I've heard it all before. You'll find yourself lying face down on the ground with a mouthful of dirt and those words trapped in your throat. If fame and broads are all you're about then sanp back, come on. Let me show you what you've been missin'. I'm at the edge of the world with my brothers in arms. We're here to let you know we go balls to the wall. Let's hit the dance floor like it's the face of you enemies. These kids keep on tellin' me how to drop a line, but all in good time I'll have a view from the top and this is just the beginning of the end of you. This is all we know. I'm tired of the same old sound you've run aground. Your days are done. Sit this out and take one for the team. I'm listening, but I've heard it all before. You'll find yourself lying face down on the ground with a mouthful of dirt and those words trapped in your throat. Anything that matters to you just couldn't mean a goddamn thing to me.

Your life is fucking worthless. You're just another tool with stall wall rhetoric. The lies you feed, you fascist breed are fucking pathetic. And I hope you get it through your head that you haven't got a clue. Degenerate with no respect. You'll get what's coming to you. I'll use my words to bite your tongue. You'd better count your teeth. We'll break in with fists swingin' so think before you speak. Over and over in my head I'm standing over you, but when you hear this song there's nothing you can do. How does it feel to be the laughing stock of a broken scene? Well, the joke's on you because your talk is cheap. Well, alright. We're coming for you. Hey, hey. Who's the pussy now? Can you make it through the beatdown? I'll use my words to bite your tongue. You'd better count your teeth. We'll break in with fists swingin' so think before you speak. Over and over in my head I'm standing over you, but when you hear this song there's nothing you can do. There is no escape. All alone on your shaking knees. Who's gonna save you now? All you own is your doubt when you're on last stand and you're bleeding out. There's nothing you can do. I'll use my words to bite your tongue. You'd better count your teeth. We'll break in with fists swingin' so think before you speak. Over and over in my head I'm standing over you, but when you hear this song there's nothing you can do.
12.
This isn't the end, we are lions. Do not mistake my lack of faith for a lack of faith in myself. When the world turns it's back on you, you can count on the tried and true. Take everything away from me and I will stay strong. The darkest hour comes just before the dawn. Can you hold onto me? Just watch them all as they fall to the ground. Read between the lines and there is hope to be found. The path of least resistance? It can change in an instant, but you and I can go the distance. You will never transcend, find and end if you give in give in time and fucking time again. Do not mistake my lack of faith for a lack of faith in myself, but I believe in you. Take everything away from me and I will stay strong. The darkest hour comes just before the dawn. Can you hold onto me? Just watch them all as they fall to the ground. Read between the lines and there is hope to be found. Don't fall victim to the ignorance with promises of bliss. This is remiss, this is surrender. Tell me, are we lesser men than those who choose to bend before they break? I will prevail. We will prevail.

Life is about love. Life is about trust and it's all about the bonds we break and the friends we've made along the way. I've seen this all before. He said, she said and the rumors that spread. Grow up this what I'm sayin' to you and everyone, anyone. You know what to do. Just show yourself to thew door. I don't need your shit anymore. I've got my friends, got my bros and we've got something in store. This is more, so much more than you've bargained for. We're going all the way. We're going all the way today. And we won't stop till we get the top, no. We're going all the way. You can't stop this. You'll never top this, no. We're going all the way. This is a war you'll never win because you're coming in thin and I stood by while you stole the show. Now you're all dressed up with nowhere to go. We're thick as thieves. That's twice you've stolen respect from me, you little bitch. We're thick as thieves. Just like a thief you even stole your dignity. We're going all the way. We're going all the way today. And we won't stop till we get the top, no. We're going all the way. You can't stop this. You'll never top this, no. This is a war you'll never win. Have you had enough? You'll never get enough. And soon you'll find out we are unbreakable. We'll take on the world with our voices heard and our fists in the air. These are the memories that we take to our graves. This is the last time I'll stand up for you after all you've put me through. This is the last time I'll stand up for you and the bond you swore to be true. This is the last time that I'll stand up for you. This is a war you'll never win. We are unbreakable. We'll take on the world with our voices heard and our fists in the air. These are the memories that we take to our graves. This is a war you'll never win. We are unbreakable. We'll take on the world with our voices heard and our fists in the air. These are the memories that we take to our graves. We built this sound brick by brick. We built this sound brick by fucking brick.
