Let’s go, get rollin, this is the day I'd walk a thousand miles, I'm there you best believe No destination is ever too far Oh we can handle more, the synergy’s forming Drop of a hat, we’re heading your way Emotions are ablaze with tons to spare Now we’ve arrived, it’s ok, best ride guaranteed We’re here to represent, just watch it all unveil The floor is yours Sound waves exploding New altitudes No stopping what’s started And it just gets better The curtains drop, it’s underway Loud bang, the shine that blinds you It feels unbelievable, where would you rather be? And we shove, get to the frontline We’ve known it all along, so incredible Yeah it’s what we wanted, Yeah well now we got it Can we relive today? The pot of gold The end, wish I could stay Can't even think about it So sad to walk away In such a daze without it
2.
On the floor in my room Surrounded by the ashes of memories Dear life, I would love to meet you to hint out I'm alive Feeling so overpowered All that aside, such sights to see Just get me through the night One more excuse Well I could just throw it all away But I'm so farsighted Is this the life for me? Yeah it's the same ol thing and overplayed Sometimes it gets to me Give me a sign that it's heading somewhere Come on let’s get this straight List of all things to do I'm here to make my debut The moment is ours A road without an end, never simple Reliving part of my youth Just slightly modified The hours pass, stuck here as I muse One look at this place and I'm still left wondering Can’t stand here, pass the time Won’t be the face of gloom, the runaway I'm making my own rules I'm gonna make it through, the final say
3.
Last Call 03:55
Take it a bit too far, best when you're not around You'll fight it just the same, it's how you set it up Clear sign for me to look the other way Have you not figured it out yet? Can't walk the walk, you'll never have what it takes And you're just such a joy The look in your eyes won't bribe me Make a deal you can't refuse You've got a lot to say Run your mouth for nothing, you're impossible You've got a lot to say What goes up must come down Last call Find that place where your heart belongs Take on a different shape It's time to find your way back home Do whatcha gotta do, you're out there for the hunt Somebody has to pay but it won't matter much Who's next to top your list of easy preys? Never ending search for a new pet Can't talk the talk, your reputation's at stake Well now the game is on Can’t hypnotize or haunt me Fading fast, you’re out of moves
4.
Smile 03:40
So tell me what you want and tell me what you need My views are clouded, everyway filled with doubt Not as intended Turn it up a notch now without delay Selling our mind on where it just might go So many years of regret Got to get in the groove Maybe destiny will greet you Make no mistake, overcome the phases I was meant for so much more Always on the edge like I’m standing on a ledge Seems there’s no way out Luck is a stranger I’ll turn it all around someway and make it through What courage we wear each day Come on, smile now Few pleasant thoughts ran through my head But bitterness had come instead Can’t be calculated The whole thing’s fabricated The relevance of what’s in store I’ve been through it all before Well, I’ve done my share of waiting Each time I try to speak, the words just disappear Like I’ve lost the knack Stuck in a familiar place
5.
Feel the walls close in on me Seems like time is standing still when you’re pacing so much New beginning will rise but somehow I’ll never know Why all this was written in stone I take it back Gotta get away, let it go It happened all so soon I still cannot believe I’ve been a mess without you Hope to see you around I’ll see you sometime Walk a lonely avenue Can’t erase you Everything that I see reminds me of you You’re everywhere Well I guess it was meant to be Yeah we let it slip away, watched it turn to dust Were we living a lie or just not reciprocal? We were so good at setting the tone It went off track
6.
Setting it up with always such confusion Always time for games It has to be now, it's nothing new Makes you feel so alive, all senses aware Took it this far, someone will pay You're just unreal No damage for now I can't believe a single word that you say Your cover has been blown I see right through you I swear you're making it up Ya I've heard it all, sure gets around I swear you're making it up Well truthfully, it's what you do Hello, so long In the end you just don't have a clue Won't play along Never wanted anything from you Can't stand it another day You’ll find something to cry about A grown-up going on twelve years old Your own set of rules I can't solve the riddle, it's half-time for you Need repair The creature you are, target your prey What big ordeal
7.
Glitch 03:36
You’re the chill in my bones With a handful of despair, pretender Caught between swerving doors that don’t lead to a single trace Your play on words is getting old There’s no flow, on a roll Never hurt quite this bad Core of which we’re founded on Why commit to more? Quickly grasp the concept, leave it at that I hope I’m not boring you My life is just passing through Eager to build any which way Can’t read your mind for clues Won’t long to learn from the price we paid Wasting time, we’re just going under It means so little, could we rekindle? A glitch that made us vulnerable But this chance sees us fold A way out Let’s have a sit down We forgot, we’re fed up, the shared common grounds So soon, but it’s this and that, there’s always something Engulfed by your needs that are worshiped so It needs to be told
8.
Time again, you will walk through that door Make your point then you take it out on me Now as you were Yet another way to make me hold it against you Now our admissions collide Quit playing me, you’re like a vulture You want some more? Isn’t this what you wanted? It’s going nowhere It’s all falling apart But I’ll be fine, the answer lies somewhere Yeah, I’ll get it No rest till I’ve made my move There’s no other way Feels like me vs. the world Checkin out, I’ll do this alone Gotta find it, see it through Same ol game but what have I got to lose? Do no wrong, only strong, lift the ground Soon we might go right back to zero So take the ride, learn to cope and diffuse Settle for now Here, intentions unify Much to convey with less to assume Watch your back, the need to counteract Just understand what you must do Hold the key to your only showdown You want it done so to start anew Yeah I’m gonna break out
9.
The Riddle 03:36
I'll never stand in the middle Dragged along to pave the way I don't think I'm getting through to you Stitched up the wreckage and it's been a bore So take the deal without excuse and go Then again, what does it matter? I'm not here to be reviewed Get out of my way Gotta move on, not holding on Yeah I just want to make this right There's no other way out You just need to realize I've been there before You're not part of the picture It's over Got sick of solving the riddles Instilled by your old charades I don't think my thoughts are yours to choose Moment is threatened, time to close the door Now I have everything to lose, let go Then again it doesn't matter Reserved a better view

Take it a bit too far, best when you're not around You'll fight it just the same, it's how you set it up Clear sign for me to look the other way Have you not figured it out yet? Can't walk the walk, you'll never have what it takes And you're just such a joy The look in your eyes won't bribe me Make a deal you can't refuse You've got a lot to say Run your mouth for nothing, you're impossible You've got a lot to say What goes up must come down Last call Find that place where your heart belongs Take on a different shape It's time to find your way back home Do whatcha gotta do, you're out there for the hunt Somebody has to pay but it won't matter much Who's next to top your list of easy preys? Never ending search for a new pet Can't talk the talk, your reputation's at stake Well now the game is on Can’t hypnotize or haunt me Fading fast, you’re out of moves
