theCANderson Awesome album from start to finish. PW's destinctive style is present throughout, but every track is a fresh effort, and the album successfully transitions from driving rock to mellow contemplation without sounding forced or rehashed. I'm not as big of a fan of the remixes, but I appreciate their inclusion and unique perspective. Hard to ask for more than 16 tracks with no skips! Favorite track: Your Own Sky.

When a close friend was all I’d need, you were the one and you told me it’s okay. Then you wren’t there, I needed help. I’ll keep it cool, I’ll tell myself it’s okay. Where did you go? I’m on my own. Where did you go? Where are you? I was mistaken to believe that I could trust you. The faith that I just gave away, the bond we had began to fray. You were the only friend I had who I could turn to, we’d stay up reading ‘til the dawn, but when it mattered you were gone. It’s been so long. You showed me a new life, I didn’t have to be alone. You gave me something to believe, where did my best friend go? It’s over now, let’s take a bow, it’s over now, It’s over. where did you go? It’s been so long since you went away, but here you are, you said “I’m here to stay”. I’m sorry, I should not have left you here, but here I am, it’s all okay my dear. It’s okay. Will things go back to a time before you left? To a place where I can say all the things I meant? For years I’ve lingered, my heart’s left injured. Can I forget the years? You left me here. It’s all my fault, you’re not to blame, I should’ve said, but it’s too late. Can I look past the time? My mind is so unclear. We could build memories again if you could give me one more chance.

Left Behind 03:33
For so many years, you kept us safe here. Where did you go? day after day it’s all the same, since you’ve been gone we’re just a name. The apple trees you planted leave me so disenchanted. Time after time I’ll overhear “why’d mom and dad disappear?” It’s hard to fake a smile when you’ve drowned in denial. I’m drowning in denial. The years that we’ve been here waiting for you to come back were all a waste. you left us alone here, leaves fall year after year. The days that we stood here wishing to see you again were all in vain. I never got to say goodbye, you left us all behind. You left us all behind, how could you be so blind? How can you tell me it’s fine to wake up one day and find that you’re gone? Now you’re gone. With every breath you used to say “we’ll be home soon”, “we’re on our way”. It’s hard to fake a smile, believe my own denial. I never got to say goodbye. Goodbye.

So I’ll walk in shadows, through the dark and echoes. We’re outta time, give me a sign, to walk in shadows. If I could write a note, leave it next to you, tell the world I tried, but couldn’t make it through. If I could cast a spell and take it all away, would we do it all again? Would it ever be the same? The strength of his enemies faltered while he learned to breathe underwater, water-wings and warmth will be awakened once again. So burn the flags and raise them high, I’ll fly alone in the winter sky, and I’ll take it all from here to keep you safe my dear. Like autumn leaves they all fall down, cast into the dirt. Thrown against the ground.
4.
I see you running through the crowds of ponies past the edge of town, don’t cry, you’re not alone. Won’t leave you on your own. It’s never had to come this far ‘til now, we’ll show them what you are. This magic’s burning bright. I swear we’ll win this fight. How can I win this fight? Twilight, don’t let ‘em get the best of you, you know you have to hold on to what’s right, so believe when I say Twilight, your magic’s stronger than before, just step on through the open door and I promise you’ll be okay. I’ve come too far can’t back down now, If I fall here he takes the crown. There’s no way I can deny, stood here I’m terrified. Tirek your time is up, you lose. Leave now or face defeat, you choose. My options wearing thin, no doubt I have to win. So dark down here from what you’ve done, I’ll fly so high I touch the sun, won’t let it all end here, won’t falter to my fear. Look to the sky Celestia, pray to the moon princess Luna, ‘cause if I can’t win this fight, I’ll sleep with the stars tonight. Hear my hallowed favours now, to my will you shall bow, the stars are one with my name and I will not bring them shame. Singing out to the moon and with her I attune. Crying out to the sun and with her I am one. You will see who I am, a true princess deep within. My magic knows me better. This is my final letter. My friends are with me, they’re always with me.
5.
The desperation’s setting in from all the places I have been, I do my best to pass the days, did we win or lose our way? We did our best and made our mark. I gave my all right from the start, so why don’t I feel welcome here? Should I just disappear? I’ve never been this far from home. But what’s home when I am on my own? I’m feeling so lost and insecure. We’re fading. Life has me so unsure. So when can we go find a place that we call home? Inside our hearts, inside our minds today. So when can we go find a place that we call home? They say this life is what was meant for me but this mark doesn’t tell me who I’m meant to be. Is this what we’ve waited for? Did the journey end or is there more? Will we find out where our roads go? Are we there yet? When will we know? Is this the life that I’ve been searching for? I’m stuck outside this open door.
6.
You see us soar through the sky, flight goggles shining bright, with wings of steel, faster than anypony who can fly. We are the speedy cure, we’re what you’re looking for. The antidote sent to impress crowds who always want more. Some say that we’re all fake, boy that’s a big mistake, I’ll challenge anypony, life or death? Your choice to make. ‘cause we will not back down, I’ll turn this right around. These rumours stain our legacy of which I am so proud. No. We refuse to let you win, you’re a liar and always have been. There are dark stories of our past that I bet you don’t know. The truth about where we came from kept secret even though we are so famous, these secrets shame us. Lab rats from day one until somepony dares save us. So desperate were we to be known by all Equestria, we sold our souls and so ourselves unto Celestia, and now we don’t even know where we stand within this place. Just doing as we’re told and hoping one day that we’ll escape. With all these years I’ve wasted, if only I was brave enough to face it, this was too good to be true from the very start, I should never have believed this was from the heart. We were but young ponies so absorbed in our dreams, it took too long to realise that we had been tricked with ease. such promises of fame and fortune proved too much to take. If asked the same question right now, I’d make the same mistake. for even though I do regret the things that I have done, I’d rather take on all the blame myself for everyone. It’s better to live with it all and save the ones I need that just give in and let it bring all of us to our knees. Leave us alone.

In the distance there lies a village where bigotry and hatred are non-existent. I’m sick of all the fighting and I’m sick of all the lies Ponies are so full of shit with their heads held high. Remove my cutie mark, I’ve been branded with this curse, erase my inner flaws, I’m no better than the dirt I walk upon this earth I’m on, unify my soul and work as one, so please take this away from me, I’m not the colt I wanna be. I cannot live like this anymore, could you step back and imagine your life be out of control, your future’s not yours to call your own. So please take this away from me, I’m not the colt I want to be. I was taught being different was something special, now I know that life without it is essential, I was lost, but now I can see, the answer to life is now in front of me. Take me to your cave, start the ceremony, you grab your staff and magic emanates around me, your powers grasp, remove this sin that brands my body, and keep pulling until it’s gone. My identity is barred, my past is separated, replaced with a new mark I am assimilated, no longer ignorant for I have been manipulated. My new journey has just begun. I’m in a dark room all alone with speakers blaring shit, they threw me in a fucking cage why do i deserve this? Propaganda fills my mind with methodology, is this the pain I must endure to join society?

I used to be the one stuck on the sidelines, but lately things have started to change. I would’ve never thought that being the way I am could make everything end up this way. This is never what I would’ve expected, there’s nothing wrong but they still want me corrected. Why can’t you just let me do what I do? I’m not hurting anyone so why are you? How could you try and change who I’ve always been? What did I do wrong? I never wanted any of this. I’m sorry if I ever offended any of you, but I am who I am, there’s not much more that I can do. A wise man once said that friendship was magic. The way I see it, it’s been nothing but tragic. I tried my best and it wasn’t quite there. A fairytale but no happy ending for this mare. I just don’t know what went wrong. They don’t love me anymore so, so long. Now I’m left out on my own, wish there was somewhere for me to call home. Is it not enough that I’m in the background? you wanna drop me because of how my voice sounds? Well I apologise if I ever made you sad, but I will not be sorry for being who I am. This is who I am. How could you try and change who I’ve always been? What did I do wrong? I never wanted any of this. I’m sorry if I ever offended any of you, but I am who I am, there’s not much more that I can do. A wise man once said that friendship was magic. The way I see it, it’s been nothing but tragic. I tried my best and it wasn’t quite there. So will there ever be a happy ending for this mare?
9.
I don’t care about learning magic or passing my tests, I don’t care about growing up or acting like the rest. Stop telling me what you want to hear, I can’t make my intentions any clearer, don’t need this town to tell me who I should be. My friends are always there in the end. We’ll never see Canterlot again. We’re getting out of this place, wanna forget about it. I have my own dreams to chase, and I won’t live without it. Though we’ve gone our separate ways I’ll be counting down the days. We’re getting out of this place so you can forget about it. You can’t tell me what I want to be, I won’t let you take that part of me. You can’t tell me what I want to do, I choose a life away from you. The night sky is looming over me, the daylight so bright that I can’t see, I hate Canterlot, tying to make me who I’m not. I hate Canterlot, I’m leaving with my friends forever. So many times I’ve lived this lie, so many times can I go?

Your Own Sky 03:59
This is forever. A thousand stars for the night, rid the sky of the blue, tear the day from the clouds just to get to you. But I know you’re too far gone. Your heart as dark as your sky, a never coming dawn. But I held on to you for as long as I could, the clouds we’d paint in the sky will always be the same. Even if you’re not here, I will remain. If I could count all the lights in the sky, they still could never match the sunshine in your eyes, so I regret to say it has to be this way. One thousand stars in the sky remind me of you, way back when we were young the sky was blue. But you’d tear me down and build your own sky. I believed in you. Can’t help but feel alone here now that you’re gone. Despite the things we’d say, the night drags on and on. Just don’t forget what we had. I’ll always miss you.
11.
These walls that surround you are nothing to me. I’ll break them down around you try to escape but we swarm endlessly. I’ll show the world what I can do to give you a reason to hate me. Every step I take will bring your demise. your pain is my salvation so rally your armies and lead them to die. We’ll show the world what we can do, and give you a reason to hate me. I will not lose anymore, I’m not scared to fight this war. you took the love away from me, well I’ll take it back along with this city ‘cause I know what it’s like to lose everything but this is the life I choose to take away from you. I’ll burn this city to the ground if I have to. Watch as the smoke clears, the bodies in the streets, your saviours have fallen. You brought this on yourself. Oh the blood is on your hands. your arrogance the reason. No, you had to take a stand. I’ve shown the world what I will do, now you have a reason to hate me.
12.
Enter the night, you let go. So sleep, forget what you know. Displace my dreams, your nightmares. There’s no getting out of here. Close your eyes for the last time, your blood to pay for your crimes. Try to forget what you’ve seen, the night belongs to me. This is not where I had pictured me. This is not what I wanted to be, broken truths and lies are all I see. Once more we all start over, but we’re all out of time. I feel it moving close, can we get out alive? This isn’t what I thought would happen if I let you in, this darkness creeping up my spine makes me snap back again. This is not where I had pictured me. This is not what I wanted to be, broken truths and lies are all I see. for a second I thought I was fine. This is where I have to draw the line. But it turns out it was in my mind. Don’t you see? Your very soul, your thoughts, are mine. How about now?

14.
I am the conqueror, I am the swarm, I am the hive. The one whos reign will fall on top of you. Behind a sly disguise, a crack in the shield, needle in the eye, all in time as I deprive your lives to feel alive. Look me in the eyes, see what was a lie and burn in emerald fire. We have a need, we slay to keep the lives we once had, we yearn to see, we plea to bleed and be our own glory. I will not lose anymore, I’m not scared to fight this war. you took the love away from me, well I’ll take it back along with this city ‘cause I know what it’s like to lose everything but this is the life I choose to take away from you. I’ll burn this city to the ground if I have to. Watch as the smoke clears, the bodies in the streets, your saviours have fallen. You brought this on yourself. Oh the blood is on your hands. your arrogance the reason. It’s survival of the strong, the fall of the weak, the cut in the prong that all belongs along the road that leads to victory. That leads me here.

Hey Fluttershy listen to me when I say you do not need any of this. There’s no way that changing who you are could prove to us that you’re assertive. They can’t tell you how to act when they don’t know what you’ve been through, the only one who can decide to try and change this is you. Little filly tell me now, why this angel never leaves the ground, she’s not the type to follow through this story’s pages start and end with you. She’s left out in the rain, she’s too shy to complain. Just suck it up and let it go, how she feels inside we’ll never know. 1, 2, 3, 4. her eyes glued to the floor. 5, 6, 7, 8. Left feeling second rate. While her dreams pass her by. She’ll wish she weren’t so shy. Why can’t I just make myself be less scared to try the things I wish I could do like soar into the sky. The more I try to hide my doubts the more that I find. Perhaps I should give up and just pretend I don’t mind. Fluttershy don’t let this end, no one’s a perfect friend. This burden’s not just yours to bear, you’ve gotta know your friends are always there. So Come out of the rain, we didn’t mean to cause this pain. Just grab your dreams and don’t let go, they’re yours to keep so hold them close. Just hold them close.

One thousand stars for the night, I'd rid the sky of the blue, I'd tear the day from the clouds if I could just to get to you. But I know you’re too far gone. And I know you're too far gone. One thousand stars in the sky remind me of you, way back when we were young the sky was blue. But you’d tear me down and build your own sky. I believed in you. Can’t help but feel alone here now that you’re gone. Despite the things we’d say, the night drags on and on. Just don’t forget what we had. I’ll always miss you. But I held on to you for as long as I could, the clouds we’d paint in the sky will always be the same. Even if you’re not here, I will remain. If I could count all the lights in the sky, they still could never match the sunshine in your eyes, so I regret to say it has to be this way.
