So we're here now
Looking at the sky
Watching sunrises bleed
And colours go by
Don't you think that
There's another way
To rise up to the sun
And take back the day
We'll find awakening my friend
We'll find salvation at the end
Of the world we'll start again
So we're here now
This will be our sky
We're catching sunsets to let
Our colours fly high
And I know that
It's not too late
To rise up from ground
And change our fate
We'll find awakening my friend
We'll find salvation at the end
Of the world we'll start again
We'll find salvation at the end
Of the world we'll start again

Night falls over town
The witching hour crashes in and all the monsters walk about
The skies are filled with flutters
The streets are filled with mutters
The kings and queens of moonlight all step out
And I know where we're heading tonight
That small clearing lit by firelight
We'll act like animals until the break of dawn
And on and on we'll be singing
And I know that it'll all turn out alright
We look odd to the ones who make their reign in sunlight
But we pass them by without a worry or care
'Cause we know
There's a whole 'nother world out there
x2
And I know where we're heading tonight
That small clearing lit by firelight
We'll act like animals until the break of dawn
And on and on we'll be singing
x2

I think my promise is wearing thin
As all this pressure I feel within
Is coming to the surface
Til I turn pink in the face
There’s only so much that I can do
My friends all scare me and I can’t move
I'm breaking down
In no time I’ll fess up
I’m about to explode
My heart is pounding away
But I cannot give in
It’s hard to hold my tongue
But I will stay silent
I’m at my breaking point
So don’t get me started
I’m breathing at top speed
And silence is the hardest
So break me out of this contract i signed
I’m never gonna be alright til I
Get out of this mess
That I made
If this secret is the world to you
Why don’t you just keep it between you two
Cause I’m breaking down
And the stress is killing me
And this is pointless
How can I end this
I want out of this
My minds in distress
This town is insane
Or is it my brain
All of these secrets
Are getting to me
So let me go of the lies I’ve said
Let me tell the truth instead
I cant wait
any longer
I want out of these prison chains
To shout my secrets and ease my pains
Just say it now
So I can relax
My heart is pounding away
But I cannot give in
It’s hard to hold my tongue
But I will stay silent
I’m at my breaking point
So don’t get me started
I’m breathing at top speed
And silence is the hardest

Why is everyone afraid
The labels placed on me
Aren't who I am
You did this to me
(Look down at the earth) was this what she wanted?
(upon my face) was it for your own gain
(into my heart) are you feeling haunted?
(into my eyes) can you see my pain
I'm not just a monster, don't leave me alone
this village life is all that I've ever known
they can't seem to muster the courage to stay
and I sense that they fear for what might come their way
no I'm not just a monster, nor creature of the dark
wish I could be judged by the eyes of their hearts
don't run me out, please, we've done nothing wrong
the image, the demon, this curse is lifelong
now it's
out of the forest and into the night
there's no second chances, it's time to take flight
don't call my name, don't even wish me well, cause
I can't call this home if my home is in hell
yeah it's
out of the forest and into the night
I've realized now that this isn't my fight
my fate's with the damned, and that's alright with me
exiled, defiled, now I, I have been freed
I have been freed

Life is tough, but in the past life was rougher
If you ask me in 10 years from now people suffer.
But from our current perspective, they would have it pretty good.
Like the people from the suburbs never troubled from the hood.
But the people in the suburbs got their own set of troubles.
Plus the wealthy and celebrities can definitely struggle
So does poorer make you more inclined to draw a greater sympathy
Or being a minority deserves the others empathy
Cause mentally we’re all ready to choose a certain side
Cause suffering’s a game we all play until we die
And the more points we can make is how much worse we claim to have it.
And that drowning in our sorrows is a standard form of habit
Give it up now.
We get it man you have it tough now.
But everybody has a struggle, everywhere’s a tough town.
And it’s a sliding scale from inconvenient to severe
And some places are more dangerous, where people live in fear.
Where there’s power, there’s corruption. Where there’s money, there is greed.
Where there’s lies, there lies prejudice and where the hatred breeds
And if you take it to the streets, you’ll notice violence succeeds
In only bringing more violence and ringing in deceased.
It’s disease and it’s seething through the people who got a short fuse.
And when you win the war on drugs you know that more lose.
And when you loan to college students you enslave them.
And they wonder why frustration plagues their brain - It’s cause we made them.
And that’s a statement when your presidential hopeful.
Only preys on fear and floats in loads of hatred by the boatful <no pause>
Ain’t no wall tall enough to block the ignorance and lazy
Of the people that are already here. I’m convinced they’re crazy.
So what you’re saying is “Flowny, this world is prone to go
If we don’t kill each other this Earth is ready to overflow”
“Intolerance and greed are competing for us to overthrow
This fantasy of ‘Reason & Peace’ that we had grown to know.” ?
No.
I’m tryna say open your eyes up.
Accept that we done screwed up and it’s time for us to rise up.
And wisen up, stop teaching kids to hug their feelings,
Cause not everyone’s a winner, and that sometimes there’s a ceiling.
But that ceiling can be broken by innovation and hard work.
And sometimes that ceiling is just some odd jerk.
Working under bullies and idiots that’s a part of life.
But learning how to fight through those challenges makes you smart in life.
Yeah
Don’t preach entitled, teach them finance.
We’re weakest when we’re idle, and our actions are what define us.
And there’s truth within the Sciences,
Not just on faith, but the mountains of research and studies that others paved
But don’t deny your spirit, the unknown outweighs the known.
And when we’re left with only thoughts our mind can find we’re not alone.
And most importantly, think for yourself. I can’t be clearer.
Using lyrics from my rap as a guide for life is drear.
I ain’t qualified to give you advice. I ain’t a doctor.
I’m just sittin here spittin out verses for ya’ll to rock to.
Maybe some of what i’m sayin resonates within you
Or maybe there’s a quote I wrote, you hate and just offends you
That’s the only thing I need from you all, just to continue
To keep on penning these last tracks that we’ve all been through.
If I can take you there, or my words evoke emotion
Or my subject matter causes dispute, that’s all I’m hoping.
And ain’t much left to say, my breath is running thin.
But if you made it through the most of this track, you made me grin.
Maybe you’re a writer or artist or someone who creates
What you bring into this world has a value beyond debate
And I’ll say it again, this life is tough, but so are you.
It’s complex and involved and you’ll fall more than you flew.
But this life is yours to make it as great as you can, or not at all.
Cause you’re the artist, and your life is the canvas upon the wall.

doubt that you'll be there, let me
put you in my car and we'll
drive real slow and I'll
take you to a movie unless
you don't want to go I've got
two tickets to a
political rally cause I can
feel a change coming and we're
right on the beat oh yeah

I've got some dumb ideas
and my very best clothes, someone
else's horoscope and some
directions on my phone and

only thing I have to fear is
melody itself and when I
put you in my house and we
jive real slow there's a
whole stack of papers sitting

Verse 1:
I've got three words to say
Aloud, but, whenever you're
Around, I can't remember what to
Say.
You know I've always got your
Back, but, did you know that I'll
Always let you cut in
Line? That,
Chorus:
Where I'll go
Is always where you are?
I don't care how far
You could ever be from me.
And I know
That it's not explicit,
But it should be obvious.
What I mean by all of this, is
Needless to say.
Verse 2:
I have learned so much from
You, and, it's safe to say I
Need you, but I think you need me,
Too.
You can wall me off with
Sticks and stones and sacks of flour,
But, I keep coming back to
You.
And [Chorus]
ad lib.
And if you ever try to run from me,
I will chase you.
And if you ever lose your wings,
I will save you.
'Cause [Chorus x2]
Needless to say (x4)

I'll leave you in your happiness, while I'm lost in my despair

When did reason begin to fade,
Was the world ever sane,
Things used to be as they seemed,
Or was that just a dream?
The world I knew begins to blur,
When every thought begins with her,
I can’t remember what filled my mind,
I left it all behind.
Why did I ever hide?
My eyes have never been so wide.
The entire world in just one room,
Wood and resin and perfume,
Dusk and music fills the air,
Everything could disappear,
And I’d still be happy here,
Watching the sun set through her hair.

To a new World
Everything is better
everything so sublime
Come with me
you'll feel alive
Freedom
Is what we need
Now is our Awakening
Now you can see
How it is now
So many Changes
Every Single day
Awakening~
Awakening
I know you feel it
You can't deny,
cause it feels so

Verse 1:
Day breaks
Heart Breaks
The morning after I left you
I don't regret the things I said
And you guys probably don't too
Sincerity is what we finally reached today
A friendship years in the making that we decided to piss away
One road diverged in three
Two followed closely while one broke free
Like a bird from a cage she flew away
Realized she was hungry for the seed she was given
Yesterday
I want to go back to yesterday
When our goals were the same
Every day was a game
And what was different hadn't gone away
Chorus:
I got tired of the pressure
You got tired of my broken record
I got tired of letting you let me down
And you probably remember
When we said we'd always be together
I guess we'll look back on that promise now
Verse 2:
Though it hasn't been very long
I can't remember who was right or wrong
Sincerity threw it all away
I guess for the best cause we said what we really wanted to say
I guess I could say that I was wrong
And I should because you knew it all along
Because in the end I still care
Our friendship is a warm summer that will always be there

She defies the working laws
To make me pay
Sends the world into eternal pause
With her own ways
It won't be long, until
She challenges the gods
This all cannot be real
HAS SHE LOST HER MIND!?
She finally crossed the line
I cannot waste, any time
If I let her get away
The entire world will fade to grey
I only have one chance
To make this right
If I let her get away
The world will come undone
I have seen realities
But not my own
Warped and twisted tragedies
Befall them all
Did she cause all of this
With her transgressions
I cannot believe
SHE WOULD GO THIS FAR!
She finally crossed the line
I cannot waste, any time
If I let her get away
The entire world will fade to grey
I only have one chance
To make this right
If I let her get away
The world will come undone
If you stop all of this
We can make it right
We can go back and
Fix EVERYTHING!

Verse 1
We are the evil, the purest of hate
There is no way you can deny your fate today
We are the blue-eyed death with smiles on a face
We're bringing darkness to your puny pony race
Nowhere to run, we're already here
We came to feed on your emotions, we can feel your fear
Nowhere to hide from us we will enslave the
Ponykind. And we will rule Equestria
Brigde 1
One day our suffering will end
(No it will not, no it will not)
We'll fight the swarm and we will free our promised land
(No you will not, no you will not)
We'll rise again for moon and sun
(And you will fall, and you will fall)
The revolution in our hearts has just begun
Chorus
Surrender all your hopes and dreams
Your world is not what it really seems
Enslavement, you have lost this war
The Sun will never shine again like it did before
Verse 2
We are the ocean, the ocean of pain
We are the desert and we are your cleansing rain
You heart will shriek from our hideous teeth
It's funny that you'll never know what lies beneath
Enough talking, let us feed and feed
Give us your love and joy, 'cause this is what we need
I hear the noises of her wings
Here comes our mother Chrysalis
Bridge 2
She is our master
She is our leader
Down on your knees
Hail to the queen
Chorus
Bridge 3
We are feeding on your thoughts and fears
Drinking every drop of bloody tears
Rotting in the cold and humid cells
Nightmares will become a living hell

This pile of books,
Is my only friend,
We’ve been to worlds far away,
But I know it’s just pretend.
This corner nook,
By the window sill,
Shows a world as clear as day,
A destiny I can’t fulfil.
If I had a spell,
That would work on you,
It would likely make all my dreams come true,
But, if I had a spell,
That would work on you,
I don’t think that I’d be able to follow through.
This pile of books,
Has been my ball and chain,
I’ve held by the weight of the words,
But I won’t make that mistake again.
This heavy door,
Under lock and key,
Has never been held shut,
By anyone other than me.

You’ve got me
On the precipice with you
You have all the leverage now
All that’s keeping us from oblivion
Is a glimmer of hope
That you’ll hear me out
A cry for attention
I hear you
A grave apprehension
I feel you
Don’t really want
Don’t really want to do this
You really want
You really want a friend
Just one
I’ve got you second-guessing it
I can sense you hear my plea
All that’s keeping you from ending it all
Is a glimmer of hope
That you’ll listen to me
A cry for attention
I hear you
A grave apprehension
I feel you
Don’t really want
Don’t really want to do this
You really want
You really want a friend
Just one
(x4):
If you’re looking for a sign
Here it is:
Stay with us

I will never forget, the day.
Don't let it be true, don't let it be true.
Why must we, let go, of those we love?
It's not, it's not fair.
Don't let it be true.
I know you're here,
Present in my dreams, in my thoughts, all around me,
I will never forget you.
I'm not ready to say goodbye (why must we),
So don't go (let go) where I can't go (of those we love),
I need you here (it's not, it's not fair).
I need you here (don't let it be true).
With me.
Please don't go.
Please don't go.

Verse:
Insides on fire like they're
doused in gasoline
I've made made a mess of things
they never seem to be
Quite as simple as
your quiet explanation
Brought about
by yet another complication
I know you and
I know you well
Can't wait but
only time will tell
If I could get down
and get up
It’s finally time I ditched the cup
Parade through the streets
lined with broken glass and alcohol
Pre-chorus:
Don’t say
you’re sorry
Chorus:
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s really starting to get to me
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s not quite you, it’s not quite me
(Oh no, Oh no)
Can’t make me go so peacefully
(Oh no, Oh no)
I said some things I didn’t mean
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s really starting to mess with me
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s not quite you, it’s not quite me
Verse:
I don’t know
but I believe yeah
You’re not the same mare
from the peaceful town
that I met so long ago
on that fateful night
of that magic show
just floating through life
you had nowhere to go
you’ve got somewhere to go
I’ve gotta cut you off
because now you’re out of control
Try,
try,
try
and try again
Try as I might
I just can’t pretend
It doesn’t scare me
To see you like this
Sunken red eyes
mixed with cider and gin
Another night, Another fight
it happened again
Chorus (Reggae):
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s really starting to get to me
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s not quite you, it’s not quite me
(Oh no, Oh no)
Can’t make me go so peacefully
(Oh no, Oh no)
I said some things I didn’t mean
(Oh no, Oh no)
Cuz time be short and rapid
(Oh no, Oh no)
gotta make every single chant count
Your actions and broken promises
fill my aching heart with doubt
Pre-chorus:
Don’t say
you’re sorry
Chorus:
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s really starting to get to me
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s not quite you, it’s not quite me
(Oh no, Oh no)
Can’t make me go so peacefully
(Oh no, Oh no)
I said some things I didn’t mean
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s really starting to mess with me
(Oh no, Oh no)
It’s not quite you, it’s not quite me

V1
I'm not afraid when I'm swimming with sharks
Or monsters or things that go bump in the dark
I will quite freely jump out of a plane
And when there is lightning, I'll dance in the rain
Its fearless and thoughtless and careless I guess
But when I take risks they turn out for the best
(Chorus)
And I'll fly so far
Lie on the beaches and whisper to stars
I can lose my mind
In tumbling cascades and the pebbles I find
And I'll travel all the lands
I'll write my story with trembling hands
Though my eyes may sting and blur
I cant get enough, I've got to see more of this world
V2
I'm not afraid to go roll in the snow
While wearing swimear and freezing my toes
Cliff edges dont scare me, or heights, bugs or slime
Or missing the moment, or running out of time
It's brave, but I crave when I'm saving myself
I'll flip from the bunk beds and climb on the shelves
(Chorus)
V3
I'm not afraid to go breaking the laws
'just don't hurt nobody' is what I've been taught
And I will quite happily go sing on the stage
Or sail on the waves while the seas full of rage
I can't be afraid of these physical things
I know I can heal from the grazes and stings
(Chorus)

Awesome album from start to finish. PW's destinctive style is present throughout, but every track is a fresh effort, and the album successfully transitions from driving rock to mellow contemplation without sounding forced or rehashed. I'm not as big of a fan of the remixes, but I appreciate their inclusion and unique perspective. Hard to ask for more than 16 tracks with no skips!

Finally got to this album during an autumn bike ride and it was awesome! Such a wonderful collection of both peaceful and bouncy tracks, where some tracks are more for the sightseeing and some others are for straight energy boost! I advise anyone to put this on during a road trip. Just the best feeling ever :)
