Firecracker 06:11
Counted ammunition, oh the steel of my ambition see I've got this condition and it won't let me sleep. It needs me like I need it. I hide it then I feed it. Spark the fire, let it burn. Stir and wake the ashes. Nothing lasts and its gone too fast. Nothing left and you're gone too fast. Inspired by my demons, I set out in the night. I knew I had it coming. I did it just for the fight. When it was dying down I headed for the stream cos' I'm not lying no more to no one about nothing. Cos' I give I give, what did I get? Nothing back, nothing yet. Always was your second best, no more looking back. What can I say? Its in my blood. Never had an ounce of love or regret so don't second guess any step boy here I come singing...... Gonna watch it burn. I say, left right left right gonna catch up someday when you least expect coming on soon so don't forget walking our way to the watery depths singing.... Catch it while you can. Swimmin' in the river, well ya' gonna miss your dinner baptized by the blood of all the angels and the sinners. When you hear them calling... start to run, start to see your future in the barrel of my gun. Nothing lasts and its gone too fast. Nothing lasts and it burns too fast.

Sing Sing 04:48
In the beginning is the end decided? Like a gun loaded for the kill. In the beginning is the end decoded? Like a gun loaded for the thrill. To you- I'm devoted still.... Love as my motive. I keep it close and hold it, before it disappears from here. Love as our motive. Let's keep it close and hold it, before we disappear from here. Chorus: Sing me a song to sleep, to keep me safe, out of reach. Sing me a song to please parts of me you cannot see. Sing me a song to sleep, to keep me safe, out of your reach. Sing me a song to sleep, Please.... Sometimes in bed I weep for I already feel gone, sometimes, I'm a long long way from home. Sometimes while deep in sleep, I return to where I'm from the dark void where you and I will meet. Without words, colors or shapes to think, what does perception without definition mean? Do you feel plastic for what you've bought? Can you decorate your grave with what it costs? To feel alive, to feel anything at all. Chorus x 2

Dust 06:41
Wish I may wish I might first star that I see tonight strung me up just like a kite tangled up in the telephone line. Wish I may wish I might first chance that I get tonight kiss you a little before I die can't take my chances in the afterlife. oh I Wish I may wish I might first star that collides tonight oh dark matters in the sky hiding from my little eye. Out of sight, out of mind out of escapes, we're out of time in and out, realign gravity defy..... No one can detect or inspect gravitational effect of yet no one's sure but we expect the worst (x 2) Is it true the sky is falling or am I shrinking? The whole world's sinking sinking further in debris (x 2) Wish I may wish I might first star that I see tonight. Oh dark matters in the sky hiding from my little eye.
