{Letra}[Verse 1]
Anxiety and adrenaline
Were the only A+s branded on my grade that night
Always asking myself over and over
If no one liked it would they be right?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It already happened once or twice
And even if I heard “it’s nice”
Like I once did from the critics
Is it enough really?

[Chorus 1]
Stage lights are out, I’m off and gone
Can they just wait til I’m back on?
Between the spotlight and darkness
I’m trapped in these doubts and feelings
I need to find the color
To fill my damaged soul
Not here or there but in myself
The show must go on

[Verse 2]
I must apologize for all the greetings
When I felt alone, yeah I was faking
It’s all my fault and only mine
Couldn’t open up back at the time
I thank you for being here now
I’ll say it, sticking to our vows

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It already happened once or twice
And even if I heard “it’s nice”
Think I’m doing my best yet wondering
But am I really?

[Chorus 2]
Stage lights are out, I’m off and gone
And I won’t wait til they're back on
Between the spotlight and darkness
I’m trapped in these doubts and feelings
I need to find the color
For this body of my own
Not here or there but in myself
The show must go on

[Bridge]
When will these curtains finally close
I can’t stand how the cheers feel just like taunts
But it’s no use, whether it’s loud or silent
It keeps coming back to me
It haunts me

[Chorus 3]
Stage lights are out, I’m off and gone
But I can’t wait til they're back on
Between the spotlight and darkness
I’m trapped in these doubts and feelings
I need to find the color
To fill my body and soul
Not here or there but in myself
The show will go on

...Stage lights are out, I’m off and gone...

{Letra}When everything feels like it’s going all wrong
By now I’ve grown to be sure, so sure
There’s someone I can count on
The one that can pulls me outta the flat and sad tone
To conduct me whole, to our whole
Our own major song

[Pre-Chorus]
This crazy composition threw me in many directions
I’m thankful one of those trills lead to our connection

[Chorus]
Sometimes life feels all alone
But not with you (But not with you)
Sometimes it feels like my song’s done
But our rhythm helps me power through

When I hate me
You save me
You help me hear clearly
How I wanna return it new
In my oath with you

[Verse 2]
From the deepest of insights to the most futile chats
Throughout our days at the café
It all can play in many ways
Whether it’s help or be helped, we soon celebrate
No need to follow the score
To keep your words stored deep in my core

[Pre-Chorus]
This crazy composition threw me in many directions
I’m thankful one of those trills lead to our connection

[Chorus]
Sometimes life feels all alone
But not with you (But not with you)
Sometimes it feels like my song’s done
But our rhythm helps me power through

[Post-Chorus]
When I hate me
You save me
You help me hear clearly
How I wanna return it new
In my oath with you

*instrumental*

[Bridge]
Some things, some things
Are just meant to be, like you and I
Soulmates, well no… soulfriends
Bound by our dark, by our light

[Alternate Pre-Chorus]
I used to cry thinking why
Something’s missing
You showed me the way
To find harmony~~

[Chorus]
Sometimes life feels all alone
But not with you (But not with you~)
Sometimes it feels like my song’s done
But our rhythm helps me power through (Power through~)

[Alternate Post-Chorus]
I can’t hate me (no more)
You’ve saved me (so more)
You’ve helped me hear clearly
How I wanna return it new
Everyday return it new
How I wanna return it new
In my oath with you

COME BACK HOME - stripped (3:02)

{Letra}[Verse 01]
I'm losing everything I have
I'm trying to take a turn back
I hate to remember again
That you became part of my brain

[Verse 02]
And the moments we share
Have become a scar that I can't heal
I'm trying to follow a path
Where I’m not trapped by your se-e-eal

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why do you keep coming back to me like that? oh woah
I'm getting sicker and sicker from not having your love like before

[Chorus 1]
Wish I could let you go
You’ve already became more than a ghost
I hate myself for not having you anymore
Baby, is too late to ask “come back ho-ome”?

To come back home

[Verse 03]
The months have passed
But it seems nothing has changed
It’s like I re-live the same old thing
With less and less relief from your strings

[Verse 04]
I just wanna run for no reason at all,
And find your direction, not a wall
But in these crossroads it’s impossible
I just wanna scream your name more more more oh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I just wanted to erase you from my mind once and for all oh woah
I try to hate you but you're not here anymore, the old feels won’t fall

[Chorus 2]
Wish I could let you go
But time is running slow
You’re slowly killing me without being here
Why can't I relearn to live? oh

[Bridge]
I think of you, I just think of you
I need to somehow breakthrough
Out of the maze that you threw me into
And leave you and your tru-u-uth

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Why do you keep coming back to me like that? oh woah
I just wanted you to let me change the route, please stop your pursuit~

[Chorus 3]
(Oooh, oooh woah~)
Wish you could let me go
And finally let me glow
I hate myself for not having you anymore
Baby, is too late to ask “come back ho-ome”? Yeah, oh

METRONOME MINE (3:35)

A penúltima faixa do EP é um mashup das faixas "Metronome" de Moonbin (PLASMA) e "Mine" de Hyoshi (DYNASTY), em um cover especial preparado por Lancaster como conteúdo bônus, com algumas leves mudanças nas letras para estabelecer uma conexão baseada na dualidade de semelhanças e diferenças entre as faixas originais. Esse também é um dos poucos momentos da carreira de Stefan em que sua voz está acompanhada de um instrumental um tanto eletrônico, originado de "Mine", que ainda conta com trechos leves e acústicos como o restante do EP.

My true feelings on a torn paper

There's no place now I can call "safer"
Everywhere I look, there's just me

Your smile won't keep on its shape
From a nerve connection I make my great escape
But it feels like the end has just began

Day after day, night after night
I look up hopeless to the dark sky

Can I turn back?
Is there any other choice left?
I take destiny in my hands, and have to make it work out
Never been tough
But never been the type of giving up
If it's a matter of moments untill I have peace by my side
I'll count the time~~
I'll count the time~~
I'll count the time

But finally I think I’m growing up after it all

And it’s such a pretty world

When your heart is full of hope

Now I can’t get enough

even if life is tough

I can keep fencing all day

There’s still a distance

but in this instant

I’m pleased with my halfway

I, I

I can look up at the sky

it feels so close to me

and it’s so nice to see~

I can fly~

And I know I should go for it, it, yeah

I should defeat my mind and do it, it, yeah

I know the sun won’t last longer, longer, babe

Diamonds are in front of my eyes

I’m just gonna make my tears dry

And I know I should go for it, it, yeah

I should defeat my mind and do it, it, yeah

I know the sun won’t last longer, longer, babe

Diamonds are in front of my eyes

I’m just gonna make my tears dry

And make them mine

So take my pale hand, I'm down, but together we'll stand
Like a summer in Iceland, not even the sun will melt me
I may look fine in the crowd, but don't ask me to come out
There are memories of us I'm too afraid to touch~

I count backwards
From 2010 back to us
It’s sad to admit my memory is just a ghost (Ahh~~)
There's no turning back
Not my choice, but I will never forget (everyday I regret)
My wounds are bursting open to the mayhem that haunts me again

But I know I should go for it, it, yeah

I should defeat my mind and do it it, yeah

I know the sun won’t last longer, longer, babe

Diamonds are in front of my eyes

I’m just gonna make my tears dry

For it I'll count the time~~ (Ah ah ah)
I'll count the time~~ (Oh oh)
(Uhh~) I'll count the time
