To have and to hold V: Resistance, is our greatest hope Try not to fall from this family car You will find, you’ve been denied What you have asked for has come true C: And I know, Love took hold And you dared, to make it crazy Can you wake, from this nightmare Here’s your mirror, come on, truth or dare? VII: Now we need assistance We can’t ride, in this car alone We’re so tired, from the road Nothing here but ghosts invisible to you But we all knew We’re alive and we're doing fine C: And I know, Love took hold And you dared, to make it crazy Can you wake, from this nightmare Here’s your mirror, come on, truth or dare? B: I always thought, I’d be your one and only But that doesn’t seem to be the case Now we’re living, this next chapter without you Past won’t be quiet, hidden, or erased

All my shame 03:55
All my shame All my shame, is washed away All my guilt, put in it’s place And all my debts, they have been paid And all my fears, are now afraid X2 I’ve got rage, she my new best friend She’s got legs, that never end And this rage -- Keeping me warm at night while you’re away I used to be a dog, who would only bark I used to be a dog, who would only bark I’m putting my bark away Gnashing my teeth cause this bite is here to stay

1984 04:20
1984 V: You’ll lead, and I’ll follow Split off at the road behind the church I’m nervous, you’re perfect Your hair a sea of brown and gold tonight So pay attention, to directions Follow the map exactly like I said I’m throbbing, distracted Wanna wrap my thoughts around your head C: Do you think they’re ever gonna know? Where we go when the sun is sinking low And even if they find us well now I don’t care Cause I need you like I need air VII: They found us, all around us Sanctuary has been comprised We’re fearless, let nothing near us Not going down without a fight Have patience, have cadence Striking only when the time is right My heart, your soul Both are screaming to be free tonight

Stitches 02:55
Stitches So where’s your genius plan? I’m like a tired man Don’t have time for antics or your tactics Get straight to the part, where you solve it all Fix this mess and then you make me millions Well I won’t lie, it would seem that I Have gone all crazed and way off the deep end So brace yourself, for a change in health It’s the tale of how we’ll change the world man Obsessed with the idea, I laid awake at night Pregnant with the notion I should help you This device will change the tides, make every wrong a right Bring this world that’s flaming back to balance Oh my boy, you’ve struck gold When you first walked in I don’t think I believed it You’ve changed my life, with this device I can’t wait for a launch date and a price tag But all these fools, who’d follow rules Obviously put in place just to keep us quiet But sir oh dear, I hate to inform you and fear That I’d planned on making it free to the masses But son there’s rules, don’t be a fool Just take your check or you’ll end up in stitches x3

Old dog 04:22
Old Dog -- V: I’m fiercely loyal My legend travels quickly Though I've been lost my love Tread carefully, step only where I step now We’ve got so much to go PC: Stay close to me I’ve got this heaving heart And that’s all we’ll need C: I’m just an old dog Just an old dog Just an old dog Just an old dog VII: I’m your best bet You think this path is easy You can’t see past the woe Speed is my forte My legs a flaming furnace Set course and I’ll blaze PC: Stay close to me I’ve got this heaving heart And that’s all we’ll need
