I sure like you Can I be your man? Well I rode upon my horse for you So I could take your hand Cuz there ain't no one like you Though I'm a man There'll be no one like you Unless I ride again Miles and miles I rode Withered by the wind Burnt by the sunny sky Beaten by the sand Cuz I cant' stop this mangy heart Not till the end Will there be no one like you Unless I ride again

Bit for bit, production of a new normal And I won't fake it, no I won't fake it A Classic face with a different mask put on it And I just take it, yeah I just take it Cuz I want this new reality to suspend my... Disbelief, consistent reinvention I can't give it, cuz I can't give it away The stylistic inspiration, gimme! I just live it, yeah I just live it Cuz I want emotion From this simple notion New character motion Claiming my devotion It's time! Eight directions, one speed, a single jump Take my quarters Climbing to the top, grab 'em one by one! Develop this obsession with a new dimension And I will make it, yeah I will make it... To the top 5! Button mashin', give it all my cash Cuz I can't save it, no I can't save it Cuz I want emotion From this simple notion New character motion Claiming my devotion... my love! It's time! Eight directions, one speed, a single jump Take my quarters Climbing to the top, grab 'em one by one! With a kick back, leveled up attack! Drop another coin in the crack and smack! I'm back! Top of the rack! Takin' it all, 8 bit hijack! It's my time It's my time It's my time Game over! That's game!

It's One-nine-one-six! I've reached the speed of light And I'm nearing the abyss I wanna know about the inside Of this singularity This voyage beyond an unending void Hit the point of no return Mission Control I'm calling you With looming uncertanty Certainly I've been... Swallowed by Impossibility Impossibly Bent in the overdrive Transmission Shattered by the sea It's shattering What's on the other side? On the other side It's One-nine-one-six The inevitible (Moving faster) Maybe trapped inside the mass My calculation: Almost invisible (I see nothing) Infinitessimally small This bending stretching It's pulling us apart (Can't escape from) Insurmountable blackness Mission Control I'm calling you (Do you read me?!) With looming uncertainty Certainly I've seen... Time stopping Beyond infinity Infinitely Bent in the overdrive Flows changing Constantly speeding I cannot see What's on the other side? On the other side It's One-nine-one-six In the beginning (When we started) Never had under control Don't wanna know what's on the other side (Please don't tell me) Bending and stretching the wave Into the black void It's pulling us apart (What can I do?) We're past the point of no return Mission Control I'm calling you (Do you read me?!) With looming uncertainty Certainly I've been...

I got my mind I got my voice I got my hearing I got my sight That's all I need I don't need anything else I got my pipe I got my friends I got my music I got my drugs That's all I need I don't need anything else My way I rock My way I roll My way I see The only way I know I got my mic I got my amp I got my car I got my road That's all I need I don't need anything else I got my dream I got my light I got my vision I got my word That's all I need I don't need anything else My way I rock My way I roll My way I see The only way I Know Even though I know It's the only thing I know I wonder where to go I wonder where to go Cuz everything I know Is wrapped up in these clothes And I don't know where to go I don't know where to go It's the only thing I know It's the only thing I know I wonder where to go I wonder where to go It's everything I know It's everything I know I wonder where to go Cuz I don't know where to go

He gazed upon the early morning, his eyes fixed on the prize His brilliantly coordinated plan relied on size The sun beat on his pileum as he fearlessly took flight Upon the rocks a shadow cast his beauty and his might Delusions of grandeur flowed up when from out of nowhere came The ambush that blindsided him, yes his pride was all to blame Plasticity won his body when they bent it out of shape Spastic and disorderly insane was his escape Unfazed and crazed he escalated and rose up to the top On the way more challengers for they knew they couldn't stop one by one he picked them off and the fallen he did mock Victory had blinded him as the last came like a shock! He gazed upon approaching evening his head hung in defeat Moonlight danced on the horizon, the day was now complete His worthy adversary stood like a king, all he could see A pileated silhouette and expressions of it's glee Tomorrow is a brand new day!

Last time we had spoken I had so many regrets Now I sign this card to you to show cryptic intent Maybe the photo on the front, results of all the action Or maybe it's nothing, I can't tell you Cuz I don't wanna give it all away I thought you'd forget me I thought that you had left it all behind But now you won't forget me Or the picture that I painted in your mind A thousand words or maybe more revolve around your brain But how can I expect to know your uncertainty will drive you insane I thought you'd forget me I thought that you had left it all behind Left it all behind But now you won't forget me Or the picture that I painted in your... Reckless night of taking Beautiful things, making And what has been given... If the truth is living? Call me when you break this silence How many years will you sleep inside this? More than 15 are left behind us Try to push this all aside Reckless night of taking Beautiful things, making And what has been given... If the truth is living? Leave you when you break this silence Too many years have I slept inside this More than 15 are left behind us Try to push this all aside Cuz there's nobody Instead she lives inside my head Given a child? Yeah, maybe, no? And what would I say if she showed? I'm sorry for my part so long ago Is there anything that you would like me to know? Been a long time, I left it all behind

Light through the clouds She whispered to me "It's what you want" Softly and sweetly into my ear She held all of the answers Just out of reach This controlling illusion Dare I pretend? Can't ignore this fire When she took my hand Blinded my eyes Don't take it away and leave me fallen here I hate it, my knees raw, emptiness burns deep Silently stationed In neon mirrors All I can see 13 Billion light years of beauty Called out my name Then sat me down And strapped me in Dare I pretend? Can't ignore this fire When she took my hand Blinded my eyes Don't take it away and leave me fallen here A broken world, tearing, cutting deep Just take me away and leave this fallen world Windswept, well you set me free This changing sea Pulled me out alive This love takes me away This changing sea Fell into my hands There's no turning back We're headed toward new life You took me away and left this fallen world Broken free from, gave me new life Just took me away and left it all behind This beautiful life has set us free!

You and Me 03:42
Staring out my window You're watching TV You feel so far apart from me Even though you're near What could I say? My need for you won't die away Cuz I know that you are true I'm feeling better already tonight It feels so good just to know we're alright If we get down, we're still looking up To the stars above cuz we know we are one Anyway we are You smile at me A small exchange for one from me Even though you're near What could you say? You know it don't matter anyway Cuz I know that you'll be true I'm feeling better already tonight It feels so good just to know we're alright If we get down, we're still looking up To the stars above cuz we know we are one What comes next? I don't know But we'll hold on We will grow Cuz we were meant to be together Well I'll love you till the day I die Staring out my window You're watching TV You feel so far apart from me Even though you're near What could you say? You know it don't matter anyway Cuz I know that you'll be true I'm feeling better already tonight It feels so good just to know we're alright If we get down, we're still looking up To the stars above cuz we know we are one What comes next? I don't know But we'll hold on We will grow Cuz we were meant to be together Well I'll love you till the day I die

You attempt to lock me in your sights But you can't pinpoint me with your satellite OK! I'll play! Cuz I know you can't catch me either way Wasting every second of your time Growing this expansion with my universal climb One look to see White dots a hundred lightyears 'neath my feet A big bang blow Light, sound, thermal, chemical! A fleeting glow All you see through the dust of my... You wanted, wanted all of me L.E.O. kinetic energy You're searchin', searchin' after me Leave behind spinning gravity You wanted, wanted all of me L.E.O. kinetic energy You're searchin', searchin' after me Spark up the plug with turn key ignition Past, present, future! Ain't the final mission in my... I harnessed the power of a billion horses Pushin' this vessel with all my sources We'll manipulate time and create straight lines Got a travelin' bag with sweet new rags in my left hand! And my keys in my right! Paint the galaxy red at the speed of light! I got what I got It ain't a lot Only 10 seconds left PUNCH IT! Listen to my chops! Never by "why" only "how" you roll In the game of intergalactic roshambo You're move! Futile! You ain't got the know how, skill or style In a hostile atmosphere One-seventy-five-O-O M.P.H. to blast off here Stellar! Big flare! Rippin' up the chase with a single tear! A big bang blow Light, sound, thermal, chemical! A fleeting glow All you see through the dust of my... You wanted, wanted all of me L.E.O. kinetic energy You're searchin', searchin' after me Leave behind spinning gravity You wanted, wanted all of me L.E.O. kinetic energy You're searchin', searchin' after me Spark up the plug with turn key ignition Past, present, future! Ain't the final mission in my...

Red Again 07:21
I don't know what I'm doing And I'm pretty sure it's showing I can't see what is left inside this tune If I'm gonna tell the truth When I woke up late last night Yeah the only thing that I saw there was you I don't know if I'm coming I don't know if I'm going I only know who I should walk next to Cuz I'm standing at the door I dropped the invite on the floor And I see that there is nothing left to do Cuz there's one thing Only one string left And I can't seem to take it anymore Only one thing Yeah just one string left And I don't know much longer will it hold No, No! Yeah with everything Whenever near you stand You turn my skin a new shade of red I'm red again I can't see where I'm going Too afraid that all is showing I'm hoping that it passed right over you I've been losing sleep at night Even turning out the light But it doesn't seem to matter what I do Cuz there's one thing Only one string left And I don't know that I can do no more No, No! I don't know if I'm coming I don't know if I'm going I only know who I should walk next to Please don't go! Dual channels I tuned into Because for matter would I have sinned Just to get me in! But there's one thing Only one string left And I hope that much longer it will hold Only one thing Yeah just one string left And I don't want to cut it anymore No, No! But with everything Whenever near you stand You turn my skin a new shade of red I'm red again Yeah with everything No matter where you stand Don't turn my skin to red!

Many familiar, but we can't be every one Closed off to most good things when trying, so be none And in the end it looks like all this will be gone I wanna wake up Sometimes the bad we do outweighs the good we said Forever tainted reputation, made our bed Tired of pretending now, it's not just in our head I wanna wake up However many times we're stopped, but want to go Seems like the further headed down, we think we know Living our life teeming with lies, the truth won't grow I wanna wake up Post thought, our lives corrupt by all we pushed aside Without the love we sought, there's nothing, said goodbye And now the end we've reached, results of all the lies I wanna wake up
