1st single off of "Leave This Scene"
Recorded/Mixed/Mastered by John Iorio, Monumental Studios (Hazlet, New Jersey)

lyrics

I'm in the middle of a masquerade
surrounded by a bunch of fakes
smothered and encased.
But I'm not about to stand still through this mess.
I've got a lot to get out of my chest.
You're not like all the rest,
I wouldn't waste my second guess.

We've nothing to lose.
Already six feet under
all the bull and hype they pile on our heads.
Would I rather be dead?

Jump up, jump up and let's get the hell out
of this run-down town
and turn it upside down.
Jump up, jump let's leave this scene.
We'll play a different screen.
We can be what we dream.

Let's get rid of this masquerade
for our breakaway.
So we can lead our own parade
from all this disarray.

We've nothing to lose since we're six feet under
all the bull and hype they pile on our heads.
Would I rather be dead?

Jump up, jump up and let's get the hell out
of this run-down town
and turn it upside down.
Jump up, jump let's leave this scene.
We'll play a different screen.
We can be what we dream.
