-Verse 1-
Numbers show on your phone,
that once again I'm late, and you have to sigh.
You think you'll wait a little bit longer, then I'll show
but you know it's just a lie.
Last week we had a long talk.
You had almost said goodbye.
So now I'm gone again, and you've wasted all your time on me.
You're thinking you deserve a better guy.
-Chorus-
And you wonder where I've been,
Now I'm here for the last dance.
If you'll still take my hand in your own
you could give me another chance.
I've been such a fool to you.
There's no need for excuses, 'cause I'm
ready to be the man that you wanted
if you'll love me one more time.
-Verse 2-
Beauty doesn't take long
to quickly slip away, leaving nothing more.
And you will find that lovely girls are so hard to love
when they've got a rotten core.
You are all that I could want;
there's none who can compare,
and I know that you care. Oh,
And so I'm asking you for this dance.
May it be the first of a new romance.
-Chorus-
And you wonder where I've been,
Now I'm here for the last dance.
If you'll still take my hand in your own
you could give me another chance.
Yeah, I've been such a fool to you.
There's no need for excuses, 'cause I'm
ready to be the man that you wanted
if you'll love me one more time.

Crypton Carnival
05:05
|
|||
_Verse 1_
Step right up. It's a good time to be alive.
Music is finally new.
Millions of songs by a little girl in a box
written by people like you.
The Industry's lost. They don't understand what
this generation made with our hands.
The hidden talents of music are rising up,
but every last one's from Japan.
Raise your heads. Accept no defeat.
They can't make you bow at her feet.
_Verse 2_
Don't you lie to us anymore.
Who drew the blue twintails on God?
They're making you guys believe it's the only way
to hear resounding applause.
You think that Miku, Rin, Len, and Luka,
Meiko, and Kaito are it?
You're wasting your energy trying to please
a crowd who doesn't even care you exist.
They are over. We're moving on.
You could join us, but still you hold the hand of Crypton.
_Prechorus_
[But they gave us Miku English!]
[If that weren't funny, I'd cry a little!]
_Chorus 1_
Come one, come all to see the show,
the fantastic spectacle.
Just like the ones you've seen before.
If we perpetuate the cycle,
the Crypton Carnival,
maybe they'll notice us at last.
[Right, senpai?]
_Verse 3_
All rise for the National Anthem,
'cause you know the World is Hers.
Yeah she's waving an onion with one hand out,
but the other one is cutting your purse.
They made you think that your proper reward
was a terrible Engrish bank.
It's all a distraction obscuring the truth
of the huge competition they face.
We've been waiting here all along.
Will you use us or just avoid it for one more song?
_Verse 4_
Step right up, it's a good time to be alive
music is finally free.
And hey! While you're up here, how about stamping
all your blood, sweat, and tears with a big "KarenT"?
It's okay! They'll put you on stage,
on a shirt, in a show, in a game.
Just try to forget all the lesser musicians
who didn't sign up for the fame.
If you feel it, throw up a fist.
Take your bow now, for all the fools who joined the Circus.
_Prechorus_
[Come one, come all to see the show! The fantastic spectacle!]
[The demons of your nightmares unleashed
for one night, and one night only!]
_Chorus 1_
Come one, come all to see the show,
the fantastic spectacle.
Just like the ones you've seen before.
If we perpetuate the cycle,
the Crypton Carnival,
maybe they'll notice us at last.
[Right, senpai?]
_Chorus 2_
Ladies and gentlemen, we'd thank you
to end this carnival.
Wake up! Imagine what could be!
If we can break this vicious cycle,
or slow its course at all,
maybe you'll notice us at last...
[Right, V.O.?]

My Way
04:16
|
|||
[One, two!]
__Verse 1__
All along your way, too many holes in the pavement,
Tire-marks on the sidewalk and wrecks on the road.
Tell me something,
What have I done wrong to make you misunderstand me?
'Cause you should know I don't like to be told where to go.
[Yeah, right!]
__Prechorus 1__
Even when it's harder sometimes
I'll get by on my own or die
Trust me: I'm all-out, full-blown, completely, sure-fire, thoroughly right.
__Chorus__
My way is my way
and I don't care at all what they all say.
Fine if they don't agree,
but would they just stop talking and leave?
My way is my way
I don't got time to deal with their mind games.
Take it or leave it be,
it doesn't really matter to me.
I'll do it my way, definitely.
Thanks for the help.
__Verse 2__
How can you be sure the road you're taking is better
if you don't know why you're detouring half of the time?
That's a good one,
When you're lost, alone, don't bother calling for my help.
'Cause now you know I was doing it right all along.
[Told you...]
__Prechorus 2__
Even if I doubt it myself
I'll get by, and I won't need help
Sorry: you're all-out, full-blown, completely, sure-fire, thoroughly wrong.
__Chorus__
My way is my way
and I don't care at all what they all say.
Fine if they don't agree,
but would they just stop talking and leave?
My way is my way
I don't got time to deal with their mind games.
Take it or leave it be,
it doesn't really matter to me.
I'll do it my way, definitely.
Thanks for the help.
__Bridge__
Leave me alone, 'cause I just don't care.
I've had it with your demands.
There's no argument, no debate.
I go with my home-made plans.
(x2)
__Solo__
(My way is my way
and I don't care at all what they all say-)
__Chorus__
My way is my way
and I don't care at all what they all say.
Fine if they don't agree,
but would they just stop talking and leave?
My way is my way
I don't got time to deal with their mind games.
Take it or leave it be,
it doesn't really matter to me.
I'll do it my way, definitely.
Thanks for the help.
__End__
Even when it's harder sometimes
I'll get by on my own or die
Trust me: I'm all-out, full-blown, completely, sure-fire, thoroughly right.

Maze of Mine
04:41
|
|||
_Verse 1_
Back and forth I've wandered
Up and down I've climbed
Right and left don't matter
It's the wrong way every time
"Make your choices wisely"
So it has been said. But
every single option blurs
together in my head
_Pre-chorus_
Get a dead end
You turn, and then
get a dead end
You start again
(x3)
Get a dead end
You turn, and then
get a dead end
You failed again!
_Chorus 1_
Wearily I walk a winding road
Clawing at this cage that I call home
Warily I wonder where I've gone
Managing this maze of mine alone
[Just one more step to go]
_Verse 2_
Every step gets harder
my back's against the wall
I'm tired of my struggle here
I want to end it all
"Make your choices wisely"
It's screaming in my brain
But every single path I take
gets more and more insane
_Pre-chorus_
Get a dead end
You turn, and then
get a dead end
You start again
(x3)
Get a dead end
You turn, and then
get a dead end
You failed again!
_Chorus 2_
Wearily I walk a winding road
Hope my tired head will still hold on
Warily I wonder where I've gone
Managing this maze I made my own
[Not even getting close]
_Chorus 3_
Wearily I walk a winding road
Clawing at this cage that I call home
Warily I wonder where I've gone
Managing this maze of mine alone
All on my own
Fate unknown
'Til I get home

Raison d'Etre
04:51
|
|||
_Verse 1_
Raze the mountains, build them up again.
Temper me in the hottest fire
See what you get then.
Past nor future. Death, nor life, nor mortal means
could break my bond with the one I love.
A mystery, a masterpiece.
_Pre-chorus 1_
Trust in me, my dear.
Don't give in to fear.
_Chorus 1_
I would die for you.
You wouldn't need to say it sweetly.
Your needs alone
more vital than the air that I breathe.
I'd kill for you.
You wouldn't need to say what's wrong.
You're my raison d'Etre.
The only reason I continue to walk along.
_Verse 2_
Love will falter
Even at the slightest gaze.
Love will fail you and love will send two
people separate ways.
Swear not by the
phase of the inconstant heart.
But I'll swear through everything I do
that we will not be torn apart.
_Prechorus 2_
Though your heart is blind
Seek, and ye shall find
_Chorus 2_
I would spite the world.
If only it would make you see me.
Just say the words
and I could do it easily.
I'll run to you.
Your every wish is my command.
You're my raison d'Etre
and I don't need another reason to take your hand.
_Bridge_
Take my hand
and don't let it go again.
I would give anything
to be your everything.
...Raison d'Etre...
_Chorus 3_
I would die for you.
You wouldn't need to say it sweetly.
Your needs alone,
more vital than the air that I breathe
I'm here for you,
and when the world has left you behind
I will never forsake you.
What need have I for mere reflections
of your own light?
_Chorus 4_
I would spite the world.
If only it would make you see me.
Just say the words
and I could do it easily.
I'll run to you.
Your every wish is my command.
You're my raison d'Etre
and I don't need another reason to take your hand.
_Chorus 5_
I would die for you.
You wouldn't need to say it sweetly.
Your needs alone
more vital than the air that I breathe.
I'd kill for you.
You wouldn't need to say what's wrong.
You're my raison d'Etre.
The only reason I continue to walk along.

Wings of Sound
03:57
|
|||
_Verse 1_
War drums
The challenge awaits me
Will I be ready
to show the world who I am?
Time to go
And where is the fanfare?
How can I prove myself
before it's over again?
_Pre-chorus_
It's a concert on the edge of madness
played without a tune
Just one more song for me to sing
and here I am debating everything
_Chorus_
Soar on wings of sound
Fighting the dissonance and darkness all around
If we lift up our voices
we could save the world
and we could soar on wings of sound
_Verse 2_
Onward
My friends are behind me
They will remind me
that I am never alone
Steel your minds
and charge into battle
singing of all the souls you
fight to save in the end
_Pre-chorus_
It's a concert on the edge of madness
played in every key
Just one last chance to face the fray
but victory seems a million miles away
_Chorus_
Soar on wings of sound
Fighting the dissonance and darkness all around
If we lift up our voices
we could save the world
and we could soar on wings of sound
_Bridge_
[choir]
When all hope is lost
and you can't endure the noise
just take a breath and drown them out...
With the power of your voice!
_Chorus_
On wings of sound
Fighting the dissonance and darkness all around
If we lift up our voices
we could save the world
and we could soar on wings of sound
