New Horizon 03:42
Will you share this new horizon with me Will you share this new horizon with me Anything we want we can make it Rocket to the moon, we can take it We're gonna learn how to not breathe air We'll figure it out when we get there On the journey of a lifetime Together in the limelight I know we can face the universe Oh whoa We're wishing and dreaming We're tryin' to believe in something Whoa Don't know where we're gonna go But I know it will be fine Will you share this new horizon with me Will you share this new horizon with me Anything you want we can have it You just gotta reach out and grab it I'm telling you we are the future Everyplace we go we can conquer We don't gotta wait any longer I'm telling you we are the future Oh woah We're walking the line into dangerous territory Will you share this new horizon with me Will you share this new horizon with me

Desert 03:20
I guess I'm just too much for ya I guess I just need to be in places where there's nobody there I guess I'm a crazy person I guess I just want to feel a brutal kind of still in the air I'd rather you destroy me now than have to face the consequences Pick me up and throw me out I'd rather live my life In the desert Where there's nothing to breathe but dust In the desert Cause I seem to believe there must be nothing left I wanna climb rocky mountains I wanna go somewhere none's ever been and fight to survive Adventure that I can't handle I'm getting this sense that no-one cares if I make it back alive The sun it burns, the sun it hurts but that's exactly what you wanted Lack of love and no return I'd rather live and die In the desert Where there's nothing to breathe but dust In the desert Cause I seem to believe there must be nothing left Nothing left to see here Nothing left to see here now Nothing left to see here Nothing left to see here now Nothing left to see here Nothing left to see here now Nothing left to see here Nothing left to see here now I walk this dry and desperate land I remember the grass I remember the trees I walk this dry and desperate land Where you sucked out the life and you left me desperate Made a desert out of me You made a desert out of me You made a desert out of me And I don't wanna die In the desert Where there's nothing to breathe but dust In the desert I'm convinced to believe There's nothing There's nothing left to see here Nothing left to see here now There's nothing left You made a desert out of me Ooh, you made a desert out of me (cough)

Superhero 03:39
Save my world, superhero I'm afraid I am alone And I know that it's a stretch but maybe you can make me function I know it's far-fetched But I think I might die So save my world, superhero I am depressed My life's a mess Be my temporary high and tell me Everything will be alright I need you so Don't let me go You can teach me how to fly Be my super, super, superhero (HELP!) Wreck my world, super villain Mess me up, do it again Don't know what you're gonna be on any given day, I love you (I love you!) You keep me guessing You keep me on my toes Save my world superhero I am depressed My life's a mess Be my temporary high and tell me Everything will be alright I need you so Don't let me go You can teach me how to fly Be my super, super, superhero Save my world Save-save my world Save my world Save-save my-my world My world (x8) My world Why do you keep destroying my world? I assume it's so you can build it back up again That one day, I may praise you as a hero You've rendered me Powerless Take my hand and save me from you You've rendered me Powerless Take my hand and save me from you You are the villain You are the villain

Focus 01:40
I hear not what you say Each little flicker of the mind go away Flawed machine, let me just Focus, focus Nothing stays, nothing holds Lost pretty memories fall thru the holes Silly me, won't I just focus, focus I'm hardly there Hardly living I can't concentrate and no-one is forgiving So why-oh-why must I be perfect oblivion and idiocy Sorry but I cannot Focus, focus Disregard, a mind-suppressant I was never good at being in the present So why-oh-why must I be perfect oblivion and idiocy Sorry but I cannot Focus, focus

You don't know what the world is like Outside of a toxic zone Anger and hatred are all you've ever known And you think everything’s a fight but you don’t have to, though There is a way you can open up your soul Get out of the toxic zone Get out of the toxic zone My dear, you can make it out You are not alone, no Get out of the toxic zone You follow the rules to make ‘em smile You know there’s a test to pass The floor is lava The ceiling’s jagged glass But baby no-one needs put up with that negativity Be free You gotta take it easy Get out of the toxic zone Get out of the toxic zone My dear, you can make it out You are not alone, no Get out of the toxic zone Duck for cover and get out of the toxic zone! Get out of the toxic zone My dear, you can make it out You are not alone, no Get out of the toxic zone I hope someday you discover That the world ain’t no battleground Just close your eyes and remember That you can love yourself right now Get out of the toxic zone Get out of the toxic zone My dear, you can make it out You are not alone, no Get out of the toxic zone Duck for cover and get out of the toxic zone! Get out of the toxic zone My dear, you can make it out You are not alone, no Get out of the toxic zone (‘Cause you’re fucking worth it… ha!)
