The Story So Far - High Regard
Part of our trade that was passive aggressive
In spite of the noose that you are
Smother my name under soil & dirt
In the earth writing the distance apart
Fuck an apology, I’m not sorry for anything
I’ve been holding back my apathy for far too long
You don’t deserve what you haven’t earned
And your place in my heart has just grown so small
I’d like to think that you’re worth my time
But you embody everything that I hate
Take a good hard look at what you see
I’ve lost all my hope and all my faith
Cause when I barely fuck up you just recoil and weep
What do you want from me? I’m just a kid who got in too deep
My walls are built up high forever bound to be steep
I’ve got a birds eye view of all the secrets you keep
Try to tell me that you knew from the start
That I would come to know that most would never
Enter my heart because I’m colder than the others
It’s what sets me apart
You manipulated, tried to shine a light on my dark
But this is my life. You should bounce & never call again
The more strive you’ll find it
in the souls of all the other men
You know you’re not as smart as you look
I’m gonna take back what you took
I’d like to think that you’re worth my time
But you embody everything that I hate
Take a good hard look at what you see
I’ve lost all my hope & all my faith
Cause when I barely fuck up you just recoil & weep
What do you want from me? I’m just a kid who got in too deep
My walls are built up high forever bound to be steep
I’ve got a birds eye view of all the secrets you keep
You know you’re not as smart as you look
I’m going to take back what you took
And you didn’t know shit from the start
And you didn’t know shit from the start

Punchline - Green Light
my old ways and this new fist
some things broken
weren’t meant to be fixed
it’s just a matter of opinion, frankly
if nothing’s happening
then nothing is threatening
let’s enjoy what is dull
stare into this moment
one way with a green light
i think it’s all gonna be alright
i’m better than ever
and its the best day of my life
this town’s gonna bleed me dry
if no one takes my advice
i’m better than ever
and its the best day of my life
so let’s not ask for
opposites of what we have
like if it’s hot, let’s try to be cool with that
and if it’s cool, sit by a fire
fly a kite if you’re bored
take a nap if you’re tired
why are we so wicked indecisive
let’s hit the streets with toy explosives
and let’s enjoy what we have
Stare into this moment
i can not let you
get through my thick skin
i’ve gotta get you out of my system
and take back what is mine
stare into this moment
(and if i keep this speed
and if i keep this smile
then i’ll catch everyone, i swear)
one way with a green light
on a Saturday night
and it’s easy to get so
caught up in confusion
but just as easy to shrug it off and
push right through them
stare into this moment
and own it

The Get Up Kids - Coming Clean
I found my place in the sun,
lied my way there.
I’ve looked into your eyes,
I’m coming clean.
I’ve made up my mind.
To lie would be to compromise
and I won’t try.
I’m sorry,
I hope you’ll forgive me
but what you want from me
is killing me.
