Working 9 to 5 drains the life out of me Boss is in that mood again making everybody unhappy Work is piling up, more coming every day Adventures calling me. I've really gotta get away Got my jet pack on. Gonna take a joyride. Such a lovely day, the sun is shining bright Whiling my cares away whilst flying through the sky Got my jet pack on. Gonna be a good time. Soaring up above my troubles seem so far away No early mornings. No boss to face. No bills to pay. Nothing but fun to have, hair blowing in the breeze My biggest concern up here in the effects of gravity Working 9 to 5 drains the life out of me A little escape sometimes makes me feel so happy Nothing but freedom in this big wide open space All it takes is my jet pack to take me to a happy place Got my jet pack on. Gonna take a joy ride. Not coming down to earth until its refuelling time Nothing can bother me. Leave all my worries behind Got my jet pack on. Gonna be a good time.

We had our share of good times But try as we might The Force just wasn't on our side Never fearsome; I thought you were sweet And I admired your loyalty But you just weren't the wookie for me Maybe I didn't want to take on the Empire alone Maybe I didn't want to be another clone Really we were always in the friendzone Like Alderaan we were destined to explode I was looking for a co-pilot But found I couldn't commit Now I'm comfortable to admit What can I tell ya? I was into Princess Leia We bothered deserved so much better I'd rather lose a hand then break your heart But the truth is our lives were galaxies apart It's time for a new start Do or do not; we gave it a try But we were heading for the Dark Side It's time to do this right You could have been frostier than Hoth But support you've always got At my side you've always fought And though our Alliance has come to an end I'm glad we can still be friends Rebel Scum until the end!

Lost At Sea 02:51
I have to tell you I have no soul The cats took it long ago That's a strange thing to say I know That's just how the story goes It started around the time That my Dad walked out of my life To a new city; got himself a new wife We managed to scrape by I look up to the sky And see the twinkling lights Try to open the door To the person I was before The stars I see Are grounding me And I can feel Lost at sea I close my eyes and see it clear "NO!" and then the cats appear Some how they're always near Every second I feel unclear Too many people have said goodbye To the point where I no longer try To keep friends at my side Now I'm just along for the ride I'm terrified of everything Even the reflection looking back at me I feel a missing piece Like something won't let me be

The Hero 03:19
I never asked for this This rage inside; this darkness I resist For the whole of my life I have always tried to do what's right For every single good deed I fight back this cloud that's been hanging over me To be the best I can be And not let this beat me I just wanna feel peace This feeling inside is burning through me I'm afraid of letting go I just want to be the hero I never asked for this If I could go back I'd avoid the catalyst No I have to find a way to make peace And never give this monster release It would be so easy to give in With thoughts and feelings telling me to be the villian But I will try to persevere And be a saviour for you to cheer This darkness within I can't let it win I am better than this I was born for goodness I can't let you see The worst in me I will rise up Be a force for good

We got the call. There's been a ghoul We've got the gadgets; we've got the tools Its time to roll; grab Ecto-1 Let's go bag a ghost and have some fun I ain't afraid. Why should I be? I've been looking for ghosts since the age of thirteen We're ready to believe The first line of defence against the deceased Packs on. Light it up. Trap's out. Snap it shut. Another class four is contained No apocalypse happening here today I've done the science, I've read the history Ain't no ghost getting the best of me When you've got a spirit around Give us a call, we'll sort it out I ain't afraid. Why should I be? I've got the greatest team beside me Try to debunk all you want We're still here trying to save New York We're the ghostbusters! I ain't afraid of no ghosts I ain't afraid of ghosts, they should be scared of me With all these gadgets, ready take on an army Ready to save the day, bust all these ghouls away Who are we? Ghostbusters is the name! I ain't afraid of ghosts, they should be scared of me Not going to get the best of this team About to take you down, no ghouls left around Who are we? Ghostbusters is the name!

Endurance 03:27
Of all the beauties I have seen You're the most beautiful of all Of all the wonders I've unearthed You're the most wondrous of all I made you a promise... to keep you safe One intend to keep it every day You're my reason to keep going on The place I find shelter from the storm We've had our share of good times Seen some horror too But its the two of us against the world Together we get each other through Of all the adventures I've been on You're the greatest adventure of all Of all the mysteries I've unlocked You're the greatest mystery of all If I should spend too much time with my head in the dirt I'm not paying you attention; not like you deserve Know no wonders of the past can compare to you My sweet cherry blossom, I love you

Someone 03:27
I need you to hold me close Hold me and never let me go Look at me with that glow That look that says you just know I want someone to want me I need someone to need me Like Pikachu and his bottle of ketchup That look of love in your eyes That look of longing you can't disguise Treat me like I'm your prize Like I'm the Sun that brightens you skies I've searched far and wide Oh God how I have tried Hoping and praying every day I just want someone to look at me that way

They walk among us, so the rumours say A deadly killer behind a pretty face Infiltrated, then blew up our homes Now through space we roam They're made from flesh and bone Not just from wires and chrome But we are a family We'll stand up to the enemy When I look at you I see the face of a friend How could it have turned into a deception in the end? Lies. Lies. That's all it ever was You pretend to be one of us but you betrayed us I thought you were flesh and bone Not made from wires and chrome You were a family And now you're my enemy Blood. It's on your hands Death. You're the reason lives end Fear. We'll never show it Fight. We'll match you bullet for bullet When I look in the mirror who is it really staring back at me? I thought I knew who it was behind the face I see Is it all a lie? Can I trust my memories? How can I be one of my enemies? Who am I? I thought I was flesh and bone Not made from wires and chrome We were a family And now I'm your enemy

Strange things are going on in this town Something lurkin' when the lights go out It's outta character for this quiet place Every day another missing persons case Don't find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time And don't go down to the woods tonight If I should be gone when you awake Leave the lights on, I'll communicate If I should vanish without a trace Please don't let the Upside Down be my fate There's static on the phone and voices in the radio The walls are moving on their own Lights are flickering; oh God I'm not alone! Now I'm somewhere dark and cold Don't find yourself at the wrong place at the wrong time Don't find yourself on the other side Can anybody hear me? There's monsters here after me I haven't got much time If you're there please give me a sign

Tryin' 04:49
When I was a kid I was told to do my best My best was good enough as long as I tried But best gets harder the older I get Fighting against the voice of doubt screaming inside Some days getting out of bed can be a task And I'm so afraid I'm going to disappoint But I craft my determination and wear it like a mask Giving up isn't an option at this point I'm here and I'm trying I'm here and I'm trying so hard I'm here and I'm trying to carry on I'm doing the best with what I've got Not looking to change the world, maybe warm a few hearts I'm here and I'm trying and I'll never stop Never stop working; love and heart poured into every part Just cause no one is listening doesn't mean that no one cares It may seem like life is passing you by You have to stick with it and put yourself out there A dream is a just a dream unless you try When you find you calling chase it Find your meaning embrace it Push away the doubt Ignore the voices in your head Following your bliss Is the only choice you have here This is for me as much as its for you I need this like I need to breath The best advice I ever got is you do you When the world is closing in you just have to believe

Mundane job. Part of a mundane life I was born for greatness but forced to hide A different identity is what I wore And my true purpose was made to ignore Now I can't change the way I am I was born different to most humans Feared and ridiculed by man Yet I chose to protect all those I can Forced to fit in; wearing shirts and ties Told it's not conventional to wear a mask and tights So I try to find a way to live; acceptable to you And do all the good that I can secretly do Do you know what it's like to have to hide? And pretend you're not you to the world outside Do you know what it's like to be invisible? And to have to pretend you're not incredible? There was more to this life Until I was made to give up the fight Just hope one day dark will eclipse the light And I'll be called again to fulfill my birthright

about

This ended up being about letting go and finding yourself as a person. About going through tough times and becoming stronger for it. I hope you enjoy!
