Sidekick 03:27
What’s it like to be appreciated? Don’t ask me ‘cuz I wouldn’t know I’ve held in for so long (I sometimes don’t belong) It keeps going on and on like knowing that you’ve got it all wrong I came with good intentions: jealousy and intervention Let me focus on other things, It’s not good for me screaming out softly Recognizing my flaws, It’s no trouble at all I’m not crazy, just a little lazy I’m like a shadow in a backdrop With the change in my pocket, I’mma lay low I don’t wanna lay low, lay low,but that’s just how it goes Now’s my time to rise, I’ve got my goals up in my sights I won’t be stepped on or left out by you (Woa~oh) I’m just a sidekick she said, her words they pierce my head And just to be sure, I’ll never listen anymore Take two, I’m copacetic I made an effort, but you wouldn’t let it I only ever wanted to be the hero If only you’d let me I’d prove them all wrong I’m sick and I’m tired of waiting so long I’ll keep giving everything, I’ll give it everything I got You think you know these things, you say they’re simple, but they’re not No credit (~Woah) Even though earned, no not even a bit My opinion doesn’t matter because I’m just a sidekick Screaming out softly, I’m not crazy Screaming out softly, just a little bit lazy Now’s my time to rise I’ve got my goals up in my sights I won’t be stepped on or left out by you (Woa~oh) I’m just a sidekick she said, her words they pierce my head And just to be sure I’ll never listen anymore

Blur 02:57
What’s happening at first, A simple greeting feeds it We’ll talk about it later, You’re still pushing undefeated My head’s on a swivel Like the point of the pivot I’m tracking all your movements, But It’s blurring my vision What’s the cost of living so fast when you’re always looking like you’re running on empty, Don’t you see what it’s costing Always practice making perfect, But you hardly ever hear that any more You’re pushing to be the very best there ever was Sprinting around the truth Making it my own While the distance fades Make the crowd insane ‘Cause you always gotta have it that way It’s so simple When everything lines up Like A Lock and a key Don’t apologize to me (no-oh-oh) You have your life And this is mine Open up your eyes you’ll see Your movements So close to tragedy Can’t slow down Can’t Slow up This is for the ones That can’t keep up Second time’s Just like the first Well, not the same But can’t say it’s worse By the finish line I’ll see you later Casually without the casualties I found the secrets behind all their disbelief Well the secret is out with this reggae-stylee While the clouds, they float so happily Day after day, It’s just more of the same Sometimes you Gotta mix it up And mix it up To play the game Obstacles, take them Literally You’ll make it To the top eventually Don’t apologize to me (no-oh-oh) You have your life and this is... Open up your eyes you’ll see Your movements So close to tragedy Can’t slow down Can’t Slow up This is for the ones That can’t keep up Second time’s Just like the first Well, not the same But can’t say it’s worse By the finish line I’ll see you later Don’t apologize to me (no-oh-oh) You have your life and this is mine

Cliché 02:58
There’s no holding back anymore O yeah, it’s finally time to settle the score Generosity is so rare these days and it’s often taken for granted I only wanted to be recognized I’m truly sorry if I asked for too much of your time So bury me beneath your afterthoughts a consolation for all that I’ve brought I’ll make mistakes from time to time They only matter when I close my eyes How many vows did I have to break how did I ever get here in the first place, (first place) Success means that I’m over you the critics seem to love it but there’s far too few A form of art that I made for you it sounds so cliché but it’s true (It's true) [woah's] But what am I supposed to do? ( You’ll never see this through ) So leave me alone I’ll just sit in my room with my posters Designing my works while the whole world sleeps I’m stitching it up but it’s cutting me deeper (It's cutting me deeper) 1,2,3,4 Rinse and repeat I’ll do it again despite what they’re thinking, I won’t play pretend There’s something out there there’s something for me A push for success And the feelings it brings Rinse and repeat I’ll do it again despite what they’re thinking, I won’t play pretend There’s something out there there’s something for me A push for success And the feelings it brings I’ll make mistakes from time to time They only matter when I close my eyes How many vows did I have to break how did I ever get here in the first place, (first place) Success means that I’m over you the critics seem to love it but there’s far too few A form of art that I made for you it sounds so cliché but it’s true

I Can Relate 03:50
One for the life that you love to lead you give it all you got for your family Talk is so cheap and you’re ready to go Tell me why, oh why, are you so damn predictable Working all day just to make it through you’ll put your shoulder to the plow there’s just so much to do There’s not enough time in the day you say, believe me when I scream aloud that I can relate So, pick yourself up and dust yourself off gonna finish what you started no matter the cost As it gets a little closer there’s something to be said You gotta keep on pushing you can rest when you’re dead Honestly, It scares the hell out of me You’ve gone through so many things and it makes me wonder You do everything so modestly Whether you like it or not, they’ll express their appreciation Far too many times for me to count up I kept on moving through this mess oh yeah I’ll never give up Just learn from your downfalls while slaving away You’ll find some time to realize you love it this way But how was I supposed to know that these overbearing feelings would be yours to show There’s not enough time in the day you say, well I can relate, I can relate Go (Please, don’t remind me) Oh Honestly, It scares the hell out of me You’ve gone through so many things and it makes me wonder You do everything so modestly Whether you like it or not, they’ll express their appreciation

Bookworm 02:59
I’ll turn the page I hope you’ll do the same Another chapter falls beneath the rain Woke up and smelt the ink stains blotted all beneath the weekdays Scattered thoughts and the lies I bought Best intentions attract me like a moth to a flame Turn off the lights and cover up you’ll never feel the same Hey there world, you’re on my mind Reliving all the best times, they’re all on rewind I went off the deep end and nearly drowned Made up some stories I wrote them down An author without a care anywhere to be found I think I could go for another round (another round) (another round) What am I doing with my life I was content with solitude Library filled with books and they were never due (never due) (never due) It’s like a one-way mirror’s forcing me to stare at myself Life’s on display for the world like the dust on a shelf Round and round, you’ve got me feeling obtuse I’ll say something back at the risk of being rude I went off the deep end and nearly drowned Made up some stories I wrote them down An author without a care anywhere to be found I think I could go for another round I can see so many responsibilities You’re asking me what am I doing I’m moving on with hope everlasting

Nosebleed 02:55
Nosebleed, this party’s going on Cannon blast decorations on the wall Get your groove on, raise your voice and shout We’re not leaving, you’ll just have to kick us out Noise complaints, and calls for silence you know we’re not stopping, when we hear the sirens Fun policeyou can join in too Take this party as a gift fromher to you I am so sorry,you wanted to party Destructive by nature,I’ll join in your laughter So, turn up the volume there’s cake in the background Yesterday’s a day away and today we’re making memories I hear an angry voice andit’s no wonder at all They couldn’t sleeplast nightfrom the noise of it all I tried to calm it down but they wouldn’t listen You’re jumping up and downsuggesting a solution They meet your gaze,your smile’s contagious They try to stay madbut their faces betray them Forgotten anger they’re looking kinda ready (It’s getting close to-the-time-again get ready for the party) I am so sorry,you wanted to party Destructive by nature,I’ll join in your laughter So, turn up the volume there’s cake in the background Yesterday’s a day away and today we’re making memories I am so sorry,you wanted to party Destructive by nature,I’ll join in your laughter So, turn up the volume there’s cake in the background Yesterday’s a day away and today we’re making memories

Butterfly 03:43
Oh, what’s happening Tell me what’s going on in your world today and please don’t say things are falling apart There’s always a way, for a change of heart I know and you know, what they don’t know there’s something about you that suits you well Your gentle nature has brought you through the challenges that stopped the ones that tried before you Listen to the sounds, let me hear you sing it Panic from the crowd, just ignore their presence We’ll laugh about it later, when it’s all been done The music within you oh, what a miracle You’re taking the stage it’s so unbelievable No, don't leave me standing here all alone Reach out with the kindness running through your bones Just scream it out, without a stutter your heart beats on with a flutter Going on, so happily It’s a wonderful thing you know, secret crowds and secret shows Abruptly exposed elation’s replaced by embarrassment I didn’t mean to put you on the spot, I know it seems like I’m asking a lot Your expression so consciously pondering all of your options so what will it be? I didn’t mean to put you on the spot, I know it seems like I’m asking a lot They’ll see, they’ll see, so what will it be? No, don't leave me standing here all alone Reach out with the kindness running through your bones Just scream it out, without a stutter your heart beats on with a flutter Going on, so happily And I’m not easily impressed, but I wanted to recognize you Right now you’re thinking so far, so good well, it’s excellent in fact Don’t get my words confused Know that some of ‘em have it in for you, but It’s alright you'll see No, don't leave me standing here all alone Reach out with the kindness running through your bones Just scream it out, without a stutter your heart beats on with a flutter Going on, so happily
