lyrics

The air tastes dead, we're hiding behind closed doors.
Blaming each other to feed the flames of silent discourse
that cut across my heart like kids running through a backyard.
There's a lot to be said, but silent red faces just act hard.
I feel like that star is bright enough to be a grown up,
but it only take one 'So what!' to make that hot head supernova.
Now the spot's blown up like puppies steppin' on landmines.
Cause in this day and age "keeping it real" is just a tagline.

'Cause you can't keep it real when your afraid of reality.
Sadly see the past color, present bruises badly
portray to stay in a familiar way with a life that left that day;
and I hate to say what? You've lost your passion.
Now you just don't give an effort to get hurt
doing what you love. Come down from above to my level,
several things are wrong with this.
I guess these arms were made with just too strong of fists!

Ten second to blast off!
Blast off!
Blast off!
Ten second to blast off
Blast off! Blast off!
Blast off!

Blacklisted behind a wall of proud irrationality,
You're the one who's steppin' on cracks, so don't get mad at me!
The impending fall depends on how we dance with gravity,
but I can't help but get the feeling that you've two left feet
and one right hook. So glad you chose me to be your punching bag,
and ordering me to gag for waving a white flag.
Go take your trash talk out next to the curb with the dog shit,
'cause your obnoxious fits make me want to vomit on our promise.

Surrender and end, fender benders of rage.
Raging 'til the stage is set to break both my legs
for standing up too tall and calling you out on your bullshit.
These hits with wit stick quick, it's getting a little thick.
Sick from the start, you're too hardened to have a heart.
Made for apology, you'll probably see both sides of me;
and in the end we'll call it good, and act like we're understood.
Found peace in nothing you said but it's all good.

Ten second to blast off!
Blast off!
Blast off!
Ten second to blast off
Blast off! Blast off!
Blast off!
