ecorrigan These two boys are incredible. Such amazing individuals and super talented. I watch The Bad Kids a few days ago and cannot get this song out of my head - but for once I don't mind having a song stuck in my head for days on end! Both of these boys seem to have been through so many struggles and they just keep going. And Joey, if you see this comment, please do not give up on yourself. You're smart and talented, you can do amazing things!!

lyrics

THIS TOWN
(Lyrics by Albert Lee Wright Jr., Joseph Patrick McGee
Music By: Jorge Corante & Albert Lee Wright Jr.)

CHORUS
I’ve been sitting around watching this world go round and round Spinning my head till I hit the ground
Take a deep breath let’s leave this town
I’ve been sitting around watching this world go round and round Spinning my head till I hit the ground
Take a deep breath let’s leave this town

VERSE A
The more I think long and hard the more I’m feeling troubled
Life isn’t terrible I just see the struggle
My empty wallet my first exhibit
And my brother’s needing help
And I just wish that I could give it
You don’t understand how much that shit really gets to me
my whole life he’s always been sticking out his neck for me
Going out his way making sure that he’s protecting me
Me being powerless ­ is affecting me

And honestly I want someone to see
Alot more then the average eye can perceive
Take a look into my soul see the things you won’t believe
And just try to notice I can barely fucking breathe
But I do keep breathing and my soul keeps beating
My soul keeps bleeding and these demons keep eating
These monsters keep feeding on my brain
Making me insane while I’m trying to keep them tamed...Damn

CHORUS (Repeat)

VERSE B
Sometimes I can even see the real in you
An artificial demon has apparently been sealed in you
All the monsters they’re killing you
You’re murdering anybody who was taking steps to healing you
A fake queen who wants the world on their knees
Looking to please when you take my right to breathe
Your actions are poseidon exciting all the seas
Always causing storms when I’m in my ship to leave

And honestly I believe you’re a very ugly soul
No diamond amongst the coals with apocalyptic goals
I climb ellipticals just so I can get some air
But your voice is always there until I’m ripping up my hair
And you don’t even care cause it’s none of your concern
You light fires and then act surprised when things begin to burn
I swear you’re an omen at it’s worst ­
a giant volcano that wants the earth to burst

CHORUS (Repeat)

VERSE C
I’m just lost always in a war but without a cause
I’m just lost I feel like I’m drowning in my loss
I’ve seen things that I’ve never thought I see And
I’ve been a person that I never thought I’d be
I’ve been defeated defeated brought to my knees
I thought about things that you wouldn’t believe man

B­-SECT X 2
I wanna live ­ breathe in breathe out
And not fight the whole world until I bleed out
I wanna live man ­ breathe in breathe out
And not fight myself until I bleed out

CHORUS (Outro)
