[Versal] Lightning Dust coming at you, full speed running On the fumes of my dreams. I’m insane, so it seems My flying's at it’s peak, and I reek of this desire. Top flier's what I’m seeing. I stay on the wire! I push my limits harder, so I push myself farther. If I do, I die a martyr... I live on the edge! This is my pledge: be the top in Equestria. Nopony is a test to you, I mean, your's truly! Legendary like my name was something like Broly. Holy Celestia, these ponies don't get it yet. You really want to tempt me? Well, I guessed it's next on To the next one. Time’s kinda stressed, son! Time to push it into OVERDRIVE, still on the sober side, Drunk off of flying high, still ain't living yet... Blowing up the test... They saying that its suicide... Well, this is my life. [Silver Note] Please don't shoot me down, Cause I’m flying'... I’m flying'... I’m higher... Please don't shoot me down, Cause I’m flying'... I’m higher... [Niko] Than I really have to be but, it's what I have to feel cause I'm after any means to rack achievements, While the means are overseen till after I reach Won- Derbolt Teammate status. What I mean by That is, we can't both be here. They have us sorted, thank OCD, we're classi- Fied and ordered, filed in order of our speed by the fastest. So why's Dash still impassable when I'm faster One of them bastards could've been there to pass her- oh! That's it, Huh? Doesn't matter if I win, when I stand like an island, by myself, because I am in A tide that even I can't try to fight against. Why does this pile of shh- Show that y'all might have been blinded when Dash dived! We just lightly tapped sides, but all of you act like That's not what I did, but I guess what I did Don't mix with the plan that's been decided. No Lightning Dust. So when the time comes, Don't try patronizing. I'll give Everything that I've built... But, still, it's wasted. When I get up, I get wasted, and in the end, I end up wasted. Drank so much ale, that it's unsafe, and I'm still racing Insane, but alI that I pray is- [Niko & Silver Note] Please don't- [Silver Note] Shoot me down, Cause I’m flying'... I’m flying'... I’m higher... Please don't shoot me down, Cause I’m flying'... I’m higher...

[Ditherer] The old cat killer’s in her eyes She’s filling in the lines with the filling in the pie She’s a filly with a prize and a bell and a smudge, And a light on the horizon, impelled by her buzz Secret admirer lost reaching to find words Speaks in a pie the raw feelings she pines for Stealing her mind forth the filly stays tactical Mare in the crucible, any case crackable, Any lead visible to one smart heroine Suspects decreasing, crossed stars narrowing Don’t be a worrywort, hurry forth forthwith Yearning for a horse gift earns a little short shrift Her wear is worse with the clock run down Sun tears across the earth, she is not done now If she beckons loud, he’ll be stepping out, head in clouds Any second how, any second now, heading south. Reach for her fate in a race through the sidestreets, Each Q&A getting placed in a timesheet, Ex out faces, steady the concern Very terrified that she wasn’t ready for her turn Sitting on her own while the town stays moving, Should’ve known finding something out takes doing Wake up, smell the pie and she eats it with her friends Process of elimination brings us to the end [Niko] The girl's afraid. She's worried and breaking down why she's worth it, And working out why a person would really waste their time on her. That way's a time honored tradition. A letter of admirer's admission. She's mired and bogged down in thoughts, Ire and loss, the cost of lies of omission. Try to consider her prior condition. Instead you're writing her migraines. She’s thinking, "Why couldn't the guy face me, tell me why you like me." She seeks courage, but she's nervous. Hypocritical, but she’s concerned that It's hollow and worthless when shot from the jaw of a girl that's Fallen in herself so deep, comprehension is furthest From comprehensive reform. Giving herself the adversity From the words written, when she should be working Towards getting some help. Step into Belle’s personal hell, cause Trying to chill is like letting herself fall cause Whatever's holding her together's opening. In a moment, she's going headfirst over the edge. Every turn, every ledge looked over, but overlooking intent, Cause she's looking in, tense. Anxiety kicks. Attention is spread, So she didn't get the message, she wasn't done. She's bucking, upset. Stuck in a rut, The day that she dreamt was coming up short and early, The world’s still turning. But it gets worse, The mess we're in's hers. The rest? Misinterpreted guess work, and yes. Even depressed, her reason to seek out the messenger missed. She's understandably embarrassed. Add that onto her list. [Ditherer] Reach for her fate in a race through the sidestreets, Each Q&A getting placed in a timesheet, Ex out faces, steady the concern Very terrified that she wasn’t ready for her turn Sitting on her own while the town stays moving, Should’ve known finding something out takes doing Wake up, smell the pie and she eats it with her friends Process of elimination brings us to the end.

[Niko] When I was back in Manehattan, I would never have asked if Anypony wanted to hang with a blank flank Cause I was so hung up on the fact that I was one of the last fillies to lack any real talent. I was average and well rounded, and to match with a group You gotta get in the habit of fitting into grooves, Even if you're losing a good Point. The loneliness of being you is the true Void. Whatever it takes, I gotta avoid it, I don't wanna the hear the voice that'll constantly toy with Me, cause I was already annoyed, but Three fillies drowned it out by singing so noisi- Ly, but then a couple of gals were telling me I'm better off not getting friendly with the blanks. I'm impressed that I let them get the best of Babs. Never planned ever sharing that No one in Manehattan City was giving a damn! I wanted only to try opening my heart to Love, in part, because hoping my mark would Come was slowly inside corroding and I started To show it by going with Diamond Tiara And just moments after I was asked to throw and abandon The blank ones, both of them glanced at Each other and told me that that was only one act and I said I would add to it without knowing what that meant. ... But soon I would know. I was told I would have to prove and to show That I'm always in the mood to be rude to my own Cousin as well as the Crusader's two other foals. And so, I was. I didn't know my lust For some attention was gonna affect the trust Of my cousin because it wasn't mentioned, and once I got the message, I just wanted to run, but I reluc- Tantly told myself that I won't regret Telling the foals that I bullied that I hold myself And no one else at fault for my own discre- Tions. All that I know is that I showed them that When... I caved in from the sheer force of the peer pressure To seek more pleasure by being a mean terror To meek foals, when it was me that fear holds... And I became what I feared most. [VINXIS] Can't you... Trust me.

[Niko] Even when they all go, I got high hopes They'll be friends through the ages And let their smiles show, Giggle at the ghosts when they're feeling low So they know, even when they've grown They'll be friends through the ages! Even when they all go, I got high hopes They'll be friends through the ages And let their smiles show, Giggle at the ghosts when they're feeling low So they know, even when they've grown They'll be friends through the ages! [Namii] Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile! Yes, I do! It fills my heart with sunshine all the while! Yes, it does! Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile! Yes, I do! It fills my heart with sunshine all the while, From these happy friends of mine! [Niko] I was in the rear of a wagon when I overhear Applebloom Ask if Sweetie was dragging Scootaloo over this afternoon Cause the Crusaders were planning to run after their cu- Tie marks by grabbing ideas from Rainbow or Rarity. You Could practically hear me laughing and spewing, having a hoot from These children clapping their hooves at practicing doing Zip to improve in their natural talents which could be proof that They actually grew up, but still can't see the fact the truth is Right in their faces. So when the day is done, I wonder if today is the day the change will come. Maybe it's just a way to stay like when they made the Crusaders and they're afraid obtaining one will make changes to Relationships and breaking the pack and then losing One, cause once you get one, it's past going back and undoing. It's only once that you're a filly and blank. In the future, Maybe you'll ask if you were that happy acting the fool cause- [Namii] Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin! Yes, I do! Bust it out from ear to ear let it begin! Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin! It fills my heart with sunshine all the while, From these happy friends of mine! [Niko] Even if I hate it, I would make it not a big deal delegate the way that I feel to a later Date so that we could make it work. I'll carry the weight, it's the way of The world. I would say that from the day that I had made the acquaintance Of each of the Crusaders, I could see the future fate of a chicken, dictionary, and juvenile AJ. But hey, what do I know, I'm a crazy, Pinkie Pie pone, thinking I know What the time holds, so I might be a psycho, or maybe I honestly might know? Maud was my idol, and I love her with all of my heart, Don't mean it as libel, I know that she's dauntingly hard To approach to or talk to apart from rocks or the farm. That's how she handles. So I followed example, the lot of them are Honest with their talk about quarries and all of those hard Things I don't know cause I couldn't hear a calling till I saw from afar Heading towards me, then over to yonder, shake through the farm, Spreading within me something that felt amazingly warm. We all knew I was playing a part, But I could still hear them crying when I trot away from the farm, because- [Namii] Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile! Yes, I do! It fills my heart with sunshine all the while! Yes, it does! Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile! Yes, I do! It fills my heart with sunshine all the while, From these happy friends of mine! [Niko] Even when they all go, I got high hopes They'll be friends through the ages And let their smiles show, Giggle at the ghosts when they're feeling low So they know, even when they've grown They'll be friends through the ages! Even when they all go, I got high hopes They'll be friends through the ages And let their smiles show, Giggle at the ghosts when they're feeling low So they know, even when they've grown They'll be friends through the ages!
