Overthinker 03:25
Its 2am; laying in bed Staring at the ceiling Ruminating over things that haven’t happened yet So stuck inside my head Dwelling now for days Anxious again Replaying every mistake I have ever made All day long just shuffling along I need a distraction from overreaction Criticising, analysing, strategising It all gets the best of me I might be an overthinker Sitting with my tea Contemplating leave Picking apart decisions piece by piece Countless hours pass while I rehash the past Wish that I could cease thinking ‘bout short comings Worst case scenarios are all I see Imagination running wild Why can’t I break this habit of mine? I spend my day overthinking Analysing. Criticising. Second guessing. It’s exhausting. Stuck inside my head

Rancor & Me 02:59
I pulled myself up from that pit Found a new path out in the desert Left the bounty hunting behind After a long day of sitting on the throne Or clearing Mos Espa of scum I need to unwind; only one thing in mind My rancor and me Riding free across the sands of Tatooine Twin suns high in the sky Banthas roaming by My rancor and I A legend of the Old Republic Yeah, you know the armour and helmet But I’ve grown tired of that life No longer private muscle On that Daimyo hustle But need a break from time to time I’ve disintegrated my share of people But grew tired of other people’s deals It’s not worth the pain Fulfilled the legacy of my father Now assumed the throne of Jabba It’s to fear this name again (Deadliest in the galaxy But it’s retirement for me Spend my days crime bossing Maybe learn a new hobby)

Looking up for a sign Searching the sky For your light Like a star in the night Don’t be scared; the whole world’s watching you You may not know so far out there how much we care And you’ll go out in a blaze of glory To live on for all of history And when you’re falling, we’ll catch you And bring you back home again Now’s the time to say goodbye You showed us the world The wonders of the universe In the dark and cold You were never alone As we spin round and round together I hope you know how much it mattered When you’re put to bed Finally able to rest Know that you were the best of us What we can achieve What it means to believe Launched to new heights and you made it possible

Walking Away 03:18
Head held high Rise above the lies Of an unhappy life Trying to control my life Falling victim to the criticism Of high expectations That are just opinions You’re never gonna win The toxicity buried within Pours out with every word that you say Your actions are weapons designed to cause damage No matter what happens you’ll never be happy I’m walking away To find a happy place I’m walking away Cause I don’t wanna play your games You aren’t happy so you make a target out of me Manipulate with stories that you spin Everything has to be the way you want it to be That’s not reality and it don’t work for me I don’t want to play your sick and twisted games I don’t want to play

Horizon 03:30
Something’s going on This feels wrong Up to me to find the answers Of just how the land Connects to the past Now they call me a saviour The further I go The more that I know I feel the building hope I waited a long time To understand why I was left alone Now is the time to go out and find The answers I’ve waited for my whole life What will I find out there? Are you waiting for me somewhere? I see traces of you Of the things you do Every step coming closer How could it be? This was my destiny? When I just wanted a mother The further I go The more that I know I feel the loss of hope I waited my whole life To understand why I was left alone I’ve had a lot of time To sit and wonder what you were like And now I find It’s not what I’d imagined Its just a hopeless dream That you’d return to me But now I’m finding A different kind of destiny

Tickin' By 02:38
Is this ever going to end? If I could do this over again I would never begin Cause this is the worst; it physically hurts Is it just me or has time stopped moving? Cause this has gotten to be the longest moment of my life I feel stuck here; there’s no leaving here The minutes tick by… one hour at a time Time has lost all meaning And now all I’m feeling Is this sense of dread deepening Leading to despair; I no longer care This wasn’t meant for me But it’s too late to flee How could I know? Moving by so slow
7.
There’s some serious stuff And I have to deal with it Something so horrible The Sun won’t shine on it Open your eyes, see the omens and know the truth Cause I see the Harbingers coming for you Take the force of my enemy And send it back to him a thousand thousand times I will swing my trusty Coveleski And fight back the coming giants Run from the dark that creeps down A voice that whispers, calling out There are things I can’t control Not even with a saving roll It comes to this place and destroys everything in its path It’s up to me to fight them back I can’t change this I can’t fix this But I can do this I kill giants
8.
When I’m at my weakest When I’m cut and bleeding I just need something to believe in When my heart is hurting When the pain is growing I just need something to believe in Something to believe in Something to believe in When the tears aren’t drying When the fears not dying I just need something to believe in When I’ve lost hope When I can’t let go I just need something to believe in Something to believe in Something to believe in You were there in the darkest moments of my life Looking back I wonder how I’d ever survive Without something to believe in Something to believe in Something to believe in

Got A Secret 04:40
I know the distance has grown lately There’s been lots of changes in me You tried to call the other day But it went to voicemail again I want you to know that I’m sorry You deserve to know what’s going on with me I’ve got a secret I’m trusting you to keep it This is my secret identity I’m a superhero in reality But when I’m flying high Up above the sky I’m watching over you So no harm will befall you I’m sorry that you feel abandoned That was never my attention But when I’m cracking heads I’m not thinking about texts I’m not screening calls; I’m defending the world But when the fighting ends I’ll try to be a better friend I’ve made my excuses for being reclusive Let you down consistently And though I may not show it The guilt is weighing on me And if I drop the ball Miss a couple of calls I hope that you can forgive me While I take care of some villainy When I’m done with the fight I’ll be sure to make time for you and I

You made me this Remade my life What do I do now That I’ve exposed your lies? The hand that led Was never clean in this The passage of time Is what you made of it The great divide Villains became martyrs Heroes became villains Consequences reverberate As the past becomes unwritten Betrayal and revenge Could split a heart in two Love turned to poison In turn to repay you Lived in shadows Centuries gone by Love came Unleashed the light Stories became unravelled Brought it with it new battles The blade cut deep Now you’re not what you used to be To me Half the man you used to be To me
