Arrival 04:33
Waiting I’ve been waiting for this moment Oh my heart can barely stand it It keeps on beating out of time And I see it I see it right in front of me It’s clearer than I hoped that it would be Something precious and it’s mine Take me to the edge of something beautiful Open up my eyes I see it clear And it holds me Engulfs me It knows what I’m protecting It’s love It’s love It’s love Can you feel it Our minds are intertwined with The emotional confinement Of the sweetest kind of drug And I need it I need it more than I can bear I’m hoping that you take me there There’s no point in turning back Take me to the edge of something beautiful Open up my eyes I see it clear And it holds me Engulfs me It knows what I’m protecting It’s love It’s love It’s love Wah-oh-ah-oh Wah-oh-ah-wah-ah-oh-ah-oh Wah-ah-ah Wah-oh-ah-oh Wah-oh-ah-wah-ah-oh-ah-oh Wah-ah-ah Wah-oh-ah-oh Wah-oh-ah-wah-ah-oh-ah-oh Wah-ah-ah Wah-oh-ah-oh Wah-oh-ah-wah-ah-oh-ah-oh Wah-ah Take me to the edge of something beautiful Open up my eyes I see it clear And it holds me Engulfs me It knows what I’m protecting It’s love It’s love It’s love

Angry Bear 03:15
Dial my angry bearer She says I need to Simplify my life Is crashing all around me From the thought of being boring I put my cards down on the table My hand plays better In my head So fortunate to be here They said Staring at a dull life Anything I’ll take it Is that what you really want me to be The one who knows the ropes But keeps on breaking people’s hopes All I ever wanted was To see the future of my life And all that ever scared me was To see the future of my life They say that fear can drive a nation What’s larger than the Army in my brain Is taking me to space again Searching for a new life Anything I’ll take it Is that what you really want me to be The one who knows the ropes But keeps on breaking people’s hopes All I ever wanted was To see the future of my life And all that ever scared me was To see the future of my life And I can’t take it I can’t take it again All I ever wanted was To see the future of my life Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo-ooo And I can’t take it I can’t take it again And I can’t take it I can’t take it again And all I ever wanted was To see the future of my life And all that ever scared me was To see the future of

Bloom 03:25
I’m over the outsiders taking me in They swallow me whole While my bravery thins I reach for the comfort of the sheets I call my home I wait for the silence To reach my ears A welcoming calm Oh I’ve waited for years My world of denial from the pain I call my home Away from The spotlight Is anybody really asking If I am Alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright The things I desire Have opened my heart Yet comfortability can be so hard Nobody knows Nobody knows What I’ve been through Away from The spotlight Is anybody really asking If I am Alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Pressure Surrounds me I’m consumed by what it is Yeah, this pressure It breaks me Till there’s nothing left to give Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Not feeling alright Pressure Surrounds me I’m consumed by what it is Yeah, this pressure It breaks me Till there’s nothing left to give

Peach 03:32
I sold my soul to the Devil of Pain And he taught me “pride” And he taught me “shame” Looked into my eyes He said, “Never look away” “I’ll show you what they want you to say” Don’t look now I know this isn’t me But I Can’t seem to find my place Everybody’s changed Nothing feels the same I followed him to the “Valley of Hope” And he showed me things of our fates untold Took me by the hand As we wandered through the land Whispering back thoughts of his secret plan Don’t look now I know this isn’t me But I Can’t seem to find my place Everybody’s changed Nothing feels the same I try so hard But I know that I’ll Break your heart Can’t seem to find my place Everybody’s changed Nothing feels the same I sold my soul to the Devil of Pain And he taught me “pride” And he taught me “shame” Looked into my eyes He said, “Never look away” “I’ll show you what they want you to say” Don’t look now I know this isn’t me But I Can’t seem to find my place Everybody’s changed Nothing feels the same I try so hard But I know that I’ll Break your heart Can’t seem to find my place Everybody’s changed Nothing feels the same

Over the Top 03:18
Hey What do you say I’ve got a thought that I want you to hear Oh we could pick a fight Or start a riot for all I care You don’t know me But I know you I see you everywhere We could walk for a mile Stay here for a while I’ll meet you anywhere I remember the feeling that I got When you walked in the room Never thought of feeling small I remember the secrets that we shared The things for only me I remem I remem I remember Hey What do you say I’ve got a thought that I want you to hear Oh we could pick a fight Or start a riot for all I care You don’t know me But I know you I see you everywhere We could walk for a mile Stay here for a while I’ll meet you anywhere Hey What do you want me to say I think about you every day When my heart beats slow Hope that you’ll be by my side Hey What do you want me to say I think about you every day When my heart beats slow Hope that you’ll be I hope that you’ll be I remember the feeling that I got When you walked in the room Never thought of feeling small I remember the secrets that we shared The things for only me I remem I remem I remember

Get Away 03:10
Blue is the color that makes me feel alive Like I’m holding out for something more Always staring at an open door Green is the color that’s always on my mind And I can’t stand the way it looks at me Always screaming back with sharpened teeth Get away Get away Get away Oh no (I don’t wanna be alone by myself) Get away Get away Get away Oh no (Can’t you see that I need some help) Get away Get away Get away Oh no (Nothing’s really gonna save me now) Save me now Can I stay here Doesn’t matter if I’m out of time I’ve been losing sleep for all the hours that I’ve tried You must see me as a failure A deadbeat flunkie A disaster Motivation is my misery I keep starting things I can’t complete Get away Get away Get away Oh no (I don’t wanna be alone by myself) Get away Get away Get away Oh no (Can’t you see that I need some help) Get away Get away Get away Oh no (Nothing’s really gonna save me now) Save me now Why don’t you get away Why don’t you get away Why don’t you get away Oh yeah Why don’t you get away Why don’t you get away Why don’t you get away Oh yeah Why don’t you get away Why don’t you get away Why don’t you get away Oh yeah Yeah

Star Damage 03:12
Let’s take a walk to the other side Where our hopes and dreams can pretend to thrive I’m told the grass is greener But only if you learn to survive When life is pushing back Will I have the guts to fight it Swallows me up whole Did I leave my heart inside it I’ve got my legs on tight But my head is spinning round and around Nothing matters if the answer is so unclear Such a waste of time to pretend that I’m all here Help is for the lonely and scared Yeah never gonna admit that I’m there Avoidance is a pastime Call me when it’s over The world is boiling over When will it make a difference Who knows, can’t say I tried

Cowboy Bebop 03:02
It’s the last surprise I’m hoping for a reaction I’m painting pages of faces And bodies in composition With the mouth that’s beating up the source Did I make you cry Was I offensive Rather I lie than have the truth be told My only hope is that they’ll Realize that change is With or without them Without them Without them Look, look, look I’m ready to go I’m starting something And they already know Who cares about the weather I wanna be a shocker till the end Time to break these ties I have no use for sympathy I’ll hide my ego in cages And pray for sound redemption Of the morals tearing up my soul Did I make you cry Was I offensive Rather I lie than have the truth be told My only hope is that they’ll Realize that change is With or without them Without them Without them Look, look, look I’m ready to go I’m starting something And they already know Who cares about the weather I wanna be a shocker till the end Look, look, look I’m ready to go I’m starting something And they already know Who cares about the weather I wanna be a shocker till the end

Training Day 03:25
It’s a long way ‘round The other side of this dull June You couldn’t make me happy for one day Throwing every year back in my face When September comes I hope that I will be removed From thinking every lesson is a chance To focus on the past I could’ve had Get up Get up Get up now This is my reaction I’m looking for distractions Just for one day I can only hold what’s mine I am running short on time Looking for some peace of mind Just for one day Read my eyes I’m the only one who’s not surprised I’ll live and laugh a thousand times again Yet circle back to doubts that fill my head Get up Get up Get up now This is my reaction I’m looking for distractions Just for one day I can only hold what’s mine I am running short on time Looking for some peace of mind Just for one day Is this a life that’s worth living Or is this just one fucked up evening Tell me how I’m supposed to answer that Make me an offer that’s worth taking A high risk bet Yeah that’s real shady Don’t you worry I won’t tell a soul I can only hold what’s mine I am running short on time Looking for some peace Some peace of mind

Twin Shadows 02:26
Light dances on your backside, darling You’re fitting me with blinders for you Can’t question my own feelings, darling But I’ll shower you with reasons, yeah Don’t leave me I’m inpatient I’m drunk with love I’m wasted, yeah Just answer one more question, darling Who told you that I wouldn’t Be the one that Holds you tight I like your body when it’s right next to mine Stay up all night We’ll spend the hours fascinated by time If only you would know me then you’ll know how long I’ve waited for this Fantasy Is keeping you away from me And I know that you know that I loathe the imposition But I want you to know that I only want to Be the one that Holds you tight I like your body when it’s right next to mine Stay up all night We’ll spend the hours fascinated by time If only you would know me then you’ll know how long I’ve waited for this If only you would know me then you’ll know how long I’ve waited for this
