「 HOLLOW BY CLOUDEATER 」
━ ❝i wait in intermission / i remove inhibition / i don't speak, nobody's listenin' / it's not safe to seek the attention // i won't sink, i won't wallow / in this dream that i have borrowed / so don't lead, i won't follow / there's no sense in waiting for tomorrow // 'cause i'm hollow [x4] / hollow [x4] // i move in all directions / i don't need any protection / and this beast is interjecting / and this soul can't help but connect it // and i'm ill with all that i know / 'cause it shows what little i know / i want sacred, i want final / and i'm seeking it wherever i go // 'cause i'm hollow [x4] / hollow [x4] // i stay empty, i feel the hunger / so simple when i was younger / i awaken with the thunder / a bold statement to end my slumber // and this feeling has got a window / 'til i'm numb, 'til i am blissful / 'til the sum outweighs the mental / 'til the blur of both is my limbo // and i'm hollow [x4] / hollow, hollow, hollow, hollow // and I'm hollow [x4] / and I'm hollow [x4] // i'd find an answer if i wanted to / i'd be a dancer of a different tune / i won't get entranced, i will be changing soon // i'd find an answer if i wanted to / i'd be a dancer of a different tune / i won't get entranced, i will be changing soon // i stay empty, i feel the hunger / so simple when i was younger / i awaken with the thunder / a bold statement to end my slumber // and this feeling has got a window / 'til i'm numb, 'til i am blissful / 'til the sum outweighs the mental / 'til the blur of both is my limbo // and i'm hollow [x4] / and i'm hollow [x4] // and i'm hollow [x6]❞

「 IMPLICIT DEMAND FOR PROOF BY TWENTY-ONE PILOTS 」
━ ❝i know you're not a liar and / i know you could set fire this day / go ahead and make me look away / strike me down, i am calling your / lightning down from your dark hiding place / go ahead and show me your face // reign down and destroy me / reign down and destroy me / reign down // i mean no disrespect / i am simply very perplexed by your ways / why won't you let us use your name // reign down and destroy me [x4]❞

「 YOUNG & MENACE BY FALLOUT BOY 」
━ ❝we've gone way too fast for way too long / and we were never supposed to make it half this far / and i lived so much life, lived so much life / i think that god is gonna have to kill me twice / kill me twice like my name was nikki sixx / i woke up in my shoes again but somewhere you exist, singing // 'oops i, did it again, i / forgot what i was losing my mind about / i only wrote this down to make you press rewind / and send a message, i was young and a menace' // young and a menace // woke up on the wrong side of reality / and there's a madness that's just coursing right through me / and as far as the time, far as the time / not sure i'm there yet but i'm certain i've arrived, yeah // 'oops i, did it again, i / forgot what i was losing my mind about / i only wrote this down to make you press rewind / and send a message, i was young and a menace' // young and a menace // if i am off the deep end // i'm just here to become the best yet / i'm just here for the psych assessment / i'm just here for the, for the // young and a menace // we've gone way too fast for way too long❞

「 THE RUNNER BY ZACK HEMSEY 」
━ ❝he was living his life in a fog / oblivion's welcoming arms / his view of society marred / no perception of forces at large / quite the misfit and always on guard / in his mind rang a silent alarm / and so lays the ground of a future that waits / when you feel like you ain't where you are / out of control his compulsion to flee / absent of value as best he could see / as from within so without unto thee / knew he'd strike out on his own eventually / and so it would be / patience no virtue amid certainty / fortune unknown but determinedly / on the day when he had turned twenty-three / he decided to leave / he was gone // the freedom was like an addiction he soared on a glorious high / living to him was a mission devoid of objective in mind / he'd move at the drop of a dime with no thinking or questioning why / never developed attachment to things all would get left behind / this was the method that patterned his ways / perpetual motion without any reins / no repercussions, no piper to pay / no obligation to come into play / nothing to weigh / no one to sway / no inhibition or stress to allay / 'no benefit to the bonded,' he'd say / 'so die on the morrow but live for this day' / lone as the wolf strays he remained one in kind / a habit of force made as he wade far and wide / now onwards and upwards, no grind / if you don't seek you can't find / devil-may-care, well no devil compared / he was onto one hell of a ride / he was gone // Brick by brick, stone by stone / block by block, home by home / bridge by bridge, zone by zone / piece by piece, forged his own path / years come and gone / sites come upon / miles drifted on / wounds licked and gnawed / fate hemmed and hawed / yet this single flaw / fulfillment he never saw / running from guilt and from sorrow disguised and from things insecurity hides / running from doubt and the pressure to cope with no semblance of hope on the rise / running from heartbreak and love / running from who he had failed to become / running from fear he soon came to realize / he was left all alone with but words of the wise / and so on the day when our passage entwined / now long in the tooth at the end of his line / he said, 'friend, go yonder, but bear this in mind / in this world, know one truth: you can't run from time'❞

「 LESSON FROM A NOMAD BY ZACK HEMSEY 」
━ ❝i am icon / i am that pictured in those tales to song / i am that which from the brink responds / i bring unrest when the seas have calmed // i am legend; i am fool / i am one of many; i am under no rule / i am peasant; i am loom / i'm disparaged; i'm consumed and most certainly confused // am i seeing something real or is it smoke / am i on the ground or am i hung without a rope / and this is fantasy or from the dream have i awoke / am i steady on the path or am i clinging onto hope // if you gather all the teachings that the wise have told / compile every scripture from the books of old / and muse upon the meaning of the truth's you've sewn / you will germinate the mind but the fields won't grow / this is the high of low / this is the friend turned foe / this is what the light can't show / if you stand still don't expect the earth will slow / see that every wind up plateaus / if you wanna see the rise up let go / the greatest tragedy is every breath takes toll / is to live a life and never witness depth of soul / snake inside the rocks, your tale you will consume / liberate the mind like a body in a groove / know that sedentary can be tantamount to tomb / this is why a coma patient must be regularly moved / in the quest for plenty / know the paths of many / the few will lead you past the regions where the past is buried / giving is the levee that will bound a mans greed / prison is to dwell in when you take no leave / faster than a sparrow flies traffic flies, trap the cupid by surprise / grab his bow and arrow and shoot straight into the empty sky / you can spend eternity immersed in what's inside / but if you searching for a purpose than what purpose will you find // i am icon / i am that vision / i am faith transformed / i am that allegiance to the sword you've sworn / i am false idol i am fraud / ratchet down disaster like a phoenix in decline / imagine double rapture with no miracle in mind / if you sing inside a cavern like canaries in a mine / know indulgence is a hazard so be wary with your time / to mean something we live and we strive for it / to feel something we fight and survive for it / to love something we scream out and cry for it / but tell me now, are you willing to die for it / take of what may come as you lay on the line for it / armored at the call ready and primed for it / breach the battleground with the courage to drive forward and to know the fundamentals of being alive am i / am i❞

「 WRIGGLE BY COSMO SHELDRAKE 」
━ ❝hey ho, where did you go / did you wriggle or roll, did you giggle or grumble through / tom thumb, from where did you come / did you toddle or run, did you skip, trip, or stumble through // go down, let’s go down / let's go down; don’t you want to go down / and wriggle on, have a sing along / put some pickles on, and play the mellotron // go down, let’s go down / let's go down; don’t you want to come down / and wriggle on, count to twenty-one / and go and right a wrong, and feed the pelicans // say there, the jug or the hare / the lift or the stairs,  which will it be for you / how now, big brown cow / the bow or the bough, the spade or the plough for you // go down, let’s go down / let's go down; don’t you want to go down / and wriggle on, have a sing along / put some pickles on, and play the mellotron // go down, let’s go down / let's go down; don’t you want to come down / and wriggle on, count to twenty-one / and go and right a wrong, and feed the pelicans // but where will we go / when the bell, it tolls for me / both you and i know / when it tolls, well, it tolls for thee // but where will we go / when the bell, it tolls for me / both you and i know / when it tolls, well, it tolls for thee // go down, let’s go down / let's go down; don’t you want to go down / and wriggle on, have a sing along / put some pickles on, and play the mellotron // go down, let’s go down / let's go down; don’t you want to come down / and wriggle on, count to twenty-one / and go and right a wrong, and feed the pelicans❞
