Track 1: "The Flame We Share"
(Exploring the foreboding crossroads facing each main character in this arc, this is a theme about defying the odds–and perhaps, fate itself.)
LYRICS:
Flash in your mind, now I''m bursting alive
And I''ll fight even if I can''t save you
Know you light the flame we share
Out of breath, there''s nothing left
To save us from the past
The shadows are extending, their fingers reaching, bending
And my heart''s beating too fast
(Don''t pull away)
Blood is thin, this state you''re in
Was never meant to last
I''m owning all our choices
I''m blocking out the voices you can put in all their heads
So please don''t push me away
No matter what they say
I know the brilliant person you can be
There''s no more time to stay
And so, look for me when you''re lonely
Flash in your mind, now I''m bursting alive
And I''ll fight even if I can''t save you
Up in the sky, you can take back your life
If you feel the love you have, it''s in there
Scraping my knees, ''cuz I know what I need
And I''ll bleed if it means I can see you
Glow in our eyes, feels like nothing is right
But this might be our last chance to face it
So look for me when you''re lonely
Know you light the flame we share
Tooth and nail, and fight, and fail
You push me to be strong
Our future was before us, now it''s you they all adore
Was this my fiction all along
(I''ll keep on waiting for you)
I don''t know what''s inside of me
This heat and rage is building up
Can''t let them take you away
We can''t let this destroy our trust
I''ll hold you
If you want me to, I''m here
This is just for now
We''ll get this through, fly off, and persevere

You light the flame we share
If this is our last moment
I hope you know I care
It''s all so contradicting, but there''s meaning everywhere
We''ll move along the mountains
We''ll trek across the trees
We''ll find meaning in the darkness, and find comfort in the breeze
And I hope you can forgive me
''Cuz this is what I want
For you to live and breathe, this is my love for all you''ve done
We''ll make it all the way home
Just like we wanted to
And honestly, I''m terrified, but I''ll do this for you
(Fight the lies inside, I''ll fight for you)
Flash in your mind, now I''m bursting alive
And I''ll fight even if I can''t save you
Up in the sky, you can take back your life
If you feel the love you have, it''s in there
Give ''em a show, now just look at you go
And I know it''s okay when I see you
Smiling again, ''cuz I''m always your friend
Now let''s take this final chance to face it
So look for me when you''re lonely
Know you light the flame we share
Track 2: "Pang"
(The unhinged character theme for this story''s main Manipulator)
LYRICS:
Is this the party? Cuz I''m already bored out my mind
Surrounded by fakers and has-beens with over-baked tag lines
Still dirty as I was back then
Undefeated, but I wouldn''t mind a loss just to feel again
No one needs to know my mind
Get too close, I''ll give you a show you won''t forget
Cut me up, my blood runs cold
Can''t kill a soul when I know it''s already dead
I''m your invincible friend
Catch me up in the highest tier
My success is their highest fear
Manipulate when it''s masterful
Oh, I just can''t help, it''s only natural
I can''t
Watch you
Drown
Good grief, do I really have to spell it out?
Give me everything, I''ll give you back some second doubts
But that''s cute, yeah, I guess you''ve never been to Hell
I just need a little help trying to destroy myself
But I''m a freak in the fight ring
At the end of the day, I can try to do the right thing
Comping cash to sustain you
But if you bail in the night, I can''t say that I would blame you
I just want to feel like someone cares at all
The wood is rotting out, the wood is rotting out again
When this ship sinks, you won''t fade
I''ll make my heart a blade and I won''t stop ''till you breathe the air
Catch me up in the highest tier
My success is their highest fear
Manipulate when it''s masterful
Oh, I just can''t help, it''s only natural
And I tried to bury all my pain
But it never really died
Now it claws its way back towards the surface
Claws its way back towards the surface
I tried to murder all my pain
But it knew just where to hide
Now it''s living on inside my bruises
Living on inside
Who am I?
It''s living on in my bruises
So use me all you want, any way that he chooses
Oh, back off
Get out of my head
Her hand is warm
I know I can be more than this
So catch me up in the highest tier
My success is their highest fear
Manipulate when it''s masterful
Oh, I just can''t help, it''s only natural
Track 3: "Gloat Stadium"
(Where secrets and loyalties strengthen, and hopes compete: Gloat Stadium)
LYRICS:
Celebrate, symphony, elevate everything
Let''s see how this all plays out
Standing, watching, waiting from afar
Spare me the empathy
I''ll believe anything
If you can make me believe
Glowing particles of who we are
(We''re so the same)
I''ve never met someone more different than you
(Magnetic or hate?)
Is this common ground, or breaking in two?
Late conversations keep us up at night
Is it spinning in your mind?
Is it spinning in your sick mind?
Deep breaths and whispers, don''t go freaking out
On all the faces in the crowd
All the voices in the stadium
Secrets accounted for
I couldn''t count all your
Quirks that can bring me the sun
Come and light my eyes
But phantoms cling on us
The ghosts of dead concepts
Will whistle their undying dread
Retrogression in its best disguise
Obliterate
Every lonely thought can mobilize
Late conversations keep us up at night
Is it spinning in your mind?
Is it spinning in your sick mind?
Deep breaths and whispers, don''t go freaking out
On all the faces in the crowd
All the voices in the stadium
And every iteration brings another fright
Is it spinning in your mind?
''Cuz it''s spinning in my sick mind
And you''re two seconds from just shutting out
All the faces in the crowd
All the voices in the stadium
Are singing their praises
Familiar phrases can make a new believer out of anyone
But if you think for yourself, I''ll come for help
And I''ll restart my heart to earn your trust
Everything''s hollow
Watching you wallow
Wonder what follows
Are we here all alone?
Down in the hotel
Right where your hope fell
Personal home Hell
He''ll never have to atone
In the fear fest
Friends can bring you rest
Hide in the safe nest, way high above
They call themselves blessers
It doesn''t impress us
Don''t side with oppressors and call it love
Late conversations keep us up at night
Is it spinning in your mind?
Is it spinning in your great mind?
Deep breaths and whispers, don''t go freaking out
On all the faces in the crowd
All the voices in Gloat Stadium
