Farsight 03:58
Flying like a jet. Life is going straight ahead. Nothing stopping me. Join the ride or step aside. Pleasure for the pain. Petty loss is my own gain. Makes you wanna scream. Jealous I'm living the dream. First train outta town. First class rollin and the champagne flowin'. Kick up the feet and enjoy the trip. This ain't going to be my last step. I've got Farsight. Future's bright all through the night. Nothing stopping me. Feel like I'm on ecstasy. Yeah, I've got Farsight. Don't you pull me down. Tell me why to stick around. Lookin' out my door. Wonderin' what life has in store. Now I'm on the road. Heading towards the city of gold. It's not foolish pride. Time to show what burns inside. First train outta town. First class rollin and the champagne flowin'. Kick up the feet and enjoy the trip. This ain't going to be my last step. I've got Farsight. Future's bright all through the night. Nothing stopping me. Feel like I'm on ecstasy. Yeah, I've got Farsight. I've got Farsight. Future's bright all through the night. Nothing stopping me. Feel like I'm on ecstasy. I've got Farsight. Future's bright all through the night. Nothing stopping me. Cause I've got Farsight.

Neon Lights 02:50
Got this feeling I can't describe. Step aside I'm runnin' overdrive. Everything is like a giant blur. Am I dreaming? I ain't too sure. You're moving right. I'm moving left. You're going up. I'm going down. You wanna stroll with me through town. Mercury is rising, there's no compromising. Forty days and forty nights. Give me some of them Neon Lights. Front to back, the party's crazed. Can't you see I'm feeling dazed. Forty days and forty nights. Give me some of them Neon Lights. Kick your heels and check your watch. Time to take this down a notch. I look at you as you stumble and fall. You won't remember my name at all. Got places to go and better things to do. Than sit around and wait for you. Forty days and forty nights. Give me some of them Neon Lights. Front to back, the party's crazed. Can't you see I'm feeling dazed. Forty days and forty nights. Give me some of them Neon Lights. Kick your heels and check your watch. Time to take this down a notch.

When I look in your eyes. All of my fear subsides. I look around and realize. All that matters is you. This world seems so crazy. Runnin' around in circles. Makes no sense to me. But all that matters is you. Doesn't matter what they say. I ain't gunna run away. I feel something deep inside. All that matters is you. I never thought that this could be. Now I know that I can see. I guess this was meant to be. All that matters is you. I'm heading to a better place. There is no time to waste. Come take the ride with me. All that matters is you. (All that matters is you)

Betray 05:32
I believed you once. I believed you twice. I kept the faith. It was worth a try. Hey! Your spoken words are like poison waves. I'm done with you now, go and rot in your grave. Fading memories in my mind. Are all that's left of a friend of mine. I toss and turn in bed at night. Hoping your wound would leave me life. The blood it rushes like a hellish storm. I can truly say my heart is torn. Leave me now. Leave me be. This is the last you'll see of me. Does it fill you with glee. To see what I see. This is the last time you... Betray me. (Hey! Hey!) Don't dwell on the past. It's useless now. You threw it away. I hope your proud. Hey! Scattered pictures on the ground. My door was open 'til the sun went down. You never seem to come around. With all that's lost, what happens now? I cry alone in bed at night. Wondering why I felt your blithe. Towards me, it was all too true. Now I long for the day you shall rue. Leave me now. Leave me be. This is the last you'll see of me. Does it fill you with glee. To see what I see. This is the last time you... Betray me. All that's left was that shattered glass. That which held our distant past. No longer can we move on as one. Don't ask me again, I said we're done. Leave me now. Leave me be. This is the last you'll see of me. Does it fill you with glee. To see what I see. This is the last time you... Betray me. Leave me now. Leave me be. This is the last you'll see of me. Does it fill you with glee. To see what I see. This is the last time you... Betray me.

Ice Cold 04:22
The heat is gone. The cold is on. Let's see if you can find all the things I've done wrong. My heart is black. Cold and dark like the sea. In this wintery grave I dug for you and me. I'm Ice Cold. Frozen stiff. I'm Ice Cold. You best believe this will stick. I'm Ice Cold. Frozen tonight. The winter cold is biting like a wolf in the night. Shattered ice. Is a hefty price. Gunna let my actions flow so I can entice. Your soul, drain the warmth from below. Gunna leave your body lying as cold as snow. I'm Ice Cold. Frozen stiff. I'm Ice Cold. You best believe this will stick. I'm Ice Cold. Frozen tonight. The winter cold is biting like a wolf in the night. My touch is dead. My sense is numb. Now the winter chill is going out on the run. You think you're safe. From the inside out. Got a chillin' way to get ya and you're about to find out. I'm Ice Cold. Frozen stiff. I'm Ice Cold. You best believe this will stick. I'm Ice Cold. Frozen tonight. The winter cold is biting like a wolf in the night. I'm Ice Cold. Sharpened shards in the night. I'm Ice Cold. It's time for a cold winter fright. I'm Ice Cold. Tempting I am. You'll be buried six feet under in the cold winter sand. (Can you feel the chill?)

(Hehe, Howdy) Riding on a prairie. Galloping hard, chasin' down the sun. Days are getting hotter. Wanderin' along 'till we found a town. Walkin' with a purpose. Never back down, never miss a step. Stranger lookin' his way. Steppin' through the dirt, never leaves a trail. Is he the one? Is he for real? The man with bullets who can cut through steel. Travels the land on a golden horse. Nowhere to be but he stays the course. Lookin' for gold, lookin' for booze. Typical cliche cowboy tale. Searching for truth, searching for life. He seeks these things to end his strife. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Winds are getting stronger. Time rolls by like a tumbleweed. Fairytale outlaw. Built to kill and hang from the noose. Seven shots of whiskey. Downs 'em all and he's feeling loose. Shooter in holster. Know your place or you'll lay to waste. Suddenly appeared. From the shadows. A rowdy hustler lookin' for a fight. Cowboy turns and stares him down. Sky burns bright and the air feels tight. Another duel, another fool. Should've thought twice, his life was nice. Cowboy tells him mention my name. My bloody past will change your mind. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah. Lonely Cowboy, Yeah, Yeah.

I could have been a winner. I'm just a dirty sinner. I try to dry my tears. I could not face my fears. I look outside my window. I see the pain and sorrow. I want to make them happy. So here comes Mr. Sappy. Searching for the Answers. To such simple questions. Searching for the Answers. To my silly problems. I can try. To change the world. But I know. I may not win. Where is the inspiration? I have no motivation. Trying to formulate puns. I'm watching Simpson reruns. Where is the fun in all this? I need to cherish my bliss. My home is not for miles. That's where I'll find my smiles. Searching for the Answers. To such simple questions. Searching for the Answers. To my silly problems. Searching for the Answers. To such simple questions. Searching for the Answers. To my silly problems. I can try. To change the world. But I know. I may not win. Searching for the Answers. To such simple questions. Searching for the Answers. To my silly problems. Searching for the Answers. To such simple questions. Searching for the Answers. To my silly problems. Oh yeah. I'm searching. I'm searching, for the answers. To my silly problems.

Hit the snooze. Stood in bed. Too long, now I'm late. Missed the train. Late for work. Oh well, nothing new. Now my boss is getting mad. Oh gee, that's too bad. I can't take this anymore. This life ain't for me. Everyone's the same. Selling their souls like it's out of style. Phony smiles galore. Play their game and kiss their feet. (This endless charade) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (This nine to five grind) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (This fancy clothing) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (Look to the sky) The Stepping Stone will get you closer in time. I'm a pawn. Disposable. I move one or two. You're the queen. You're the best. But you got no balls. You don't play by the rules. Don't care what you do. I'm gunna rise above them all. Victory is mine. Everyone's the same. Selling their souls like it's out of style. Phony smiles galore. Play their game and kiss their feet. (This endless charade) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (This nine to five grind) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (This fancy clothing) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (Look to the sky) The Stepping Stone will get you closer in time. (This endless charade) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone. (This nine to five grind) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.

(Take you home tonight.) (The sun is starting to rise.) (Take you home tonight.) (Gotta get you outta this place.) Clock is tickin'. Don't know where the times gone. I'm sitting around here. Thinkin' about you all day. I can't wait, for you to come around here. I can't let you slip through my fingers. Please. I wanna know. Would you let me be your man? I'm a stubborn fool. I don't ask for much but can I... Take you home tonight. The sun is starting to rise. Take you home tonight. Gotta get you outta this place. Take you home tonight. Take you home. Take you home. Take you home. Take you home tonight. Come on baby, we're headin' home tonight. Stars are shining. It's full of wishes. Easy to choose which one I wanna come true. Can you believe that I'm in love with you? Now's the time to let me plead my case. Please. I wanna know. Would you let me be your man? I'm a stubborn fool. I don't ask for much but can I... Take you home tonight. The sun is starting to rise. Take you home tonight. Gotta get you outta this place. Take you home tonight. Take you home. Take you home. Take you home. Take you home tonight. Come on baby, we're headin' home tonight. But can I... Take you home tonight. The sun is starting to rise. Take you home tonight. Gotta get you outta this place. Take you home tonight. Take you home. Take you home. Take you home. Take you home tonight. Come on baby, we're headin' home tonight. (Aw we're headin' home) (C'mon yeah, let's go) (C'mon yeah, yeah) (Oh, we're headin' home tonight).
