Supersonic Soul 06:37
lyrics
buy track
Don't know where I am the sky is dark, the rain is cold but I'm alive Don't know how I got here Don't know where I was before but I'm alive Raise my face to the rain and I close my eyes Every droplet feels like I've been baptized I was down before, now it's time to rise With a sonic boom, I take to the skies I'm the Supersonic Soul Supersonic Soul Supersonic Soul Shadow with a shovel standing at my open grave but I'm alive Silhouette in lightning is The Reader He's the reason I'm alive Seems to see my face, though his eyes are blind Speaks without a sound from within my mind Says he knows the fate that I've been assigned But I make my own, I won't be confined I'm the Supersonic Soul Supersonic Soul Supersonic Soul (Reader) You are reborn to find the meaning in yourself The Supersonic Soul inside the man No more a hero than the choices that you make No more brave than what you understand You will be weak until you find another strength You'll look inside a self you've never known You'll fail until you finally find another path A lonely path that must be walked alone (Supersonic Soul) Don't know what he meant I'm still a hero, I'm still brave and I'm alive Don't know what he meant My power's greater than before and I'm alive If what comes ahead will take something more than the challenges that I've seen before Maybe I don't know what I have in store But whatever comes, I'll be ready for I'm the Supersonic Soul Supersonic Soul Supersonic Soul Now I'm alive But why can't I remember how I died?

Hero 04:43
lyrics

Listen to the city at night It's good to be back in the sky Waiting for a wrong to right I hear a cry Supersonic Soul on the way The hero is back in town Been a while since I saved the day Tonight a bad guy goes down I see the terror in her eyes Why does she look at me like I'm the enemy She runs to him and I realize He's not the bad guy and I'm not the hero Maybe if I'd taken the time Maybe I would have seen, no need to intervene Just an argument, not a crime He's not the bad guy and I'm not the hero Fly away into the night Trying still to figure it out I trusted I would always be right But now I have a doubt Supersonic Soul doesn't wait I never had to think it through To act when others hesitate Used to be a virtue I don't know how I could have misread Always been the good guy, never had to justify Just like The Reader said Until I understand it better, I'm not the hero If I can't trust first impression If opinion's not a fact If my gut is not a compass If my instinct's not intact If I can't tell what needs action Then I won't know when to act How will I know I'm the hero Everything has changed I really scared that woman I really hurt that man I never felt regret before Gotta fix this, gotta change, if I can I will look for what needs saving 'Fore I try to save the day I will try to see the colors or at least the shades of gray I'll relearn to be a hero Learn to find another way Now I need to run to Ana She'll know what to say

You look at me I feel your eyes in every part of me You see through me My love for you is so wide It sticks in my throat and I can't speak You silence me I'm senseless defenseless Overpowered by my love You defeat me But you complete me I love you You say my name All I can hear is my heart beating You deafen me When you touch my hand I never want that feeling to go So I don't move You freeze me I'm senseless defenseless Overpowered by my love You defeat me But you complete me I love you Take my mind, body, and soul I couldn't stop you anyway Baby if you need anything, I'm gonna be there night and day You are my existence I can't put up no resistance I live to hear you say I love you

I Feel You 04:08
lyrics

I could hear the choir When I broke the stained glass window with my fall But the Grays blowing up the city made the music hardly register at all I wish I could have stopped to notice what I felt in that holy place There was a power waiting for me Amazing Grace Feel you I feel you I feel what you're singing in my soul I could hear the radio Of the taxi when I landed on the hood The Grays had the advantage If they hit again I might be down for good But I felt the sound in my body Percy pouring out his soul When A Man Loves A Woman and I let it take control I feel you in my lungs I feel you in my veins I feel what you're feeling Your love and all your pain I feel your vibration You resonate in me My pulse is at your tempo My heart is in your key I feel you like lightning You strike me through your song Your voice electrifies me Your emotion makes me strong I feel our connection Our spirits entwine The passion you put into sound Adds your power to mine Feel you I feel you I feel what you're singing in my soul I felt pulsing power So much faster I could almost hear their thoughts The Grays were nothing to me Put 'em down before they fired another shot My body becomes an amplifier when there's passion I can draw upon Like when I hear Marvin singing Feel you I feel you I feel what you're singing in my soul

SS: Ana, I love you Need to be with you I never felt like this in my life Let's be together Forever and ever I'm asking you, Ana, please be my wife ANA: You're a good guy and a good friend But just a friend, you have to understand I know you fight for right But I hate the fight I can't give my heart to a violent man I'm sorry, I can't give you what you're thinking of You can never, ever hope to have my love SS: Ana, I love you I'll prove it to you I need you more than I need anything If fighting's the reason I can't have you, I'll give it up, right now Please, please, Please take my ring ANA: You're a good guy and a good friend But what do I have to say to make you see? Don't play the fool Do I have to be cruel The only thing you should give up is wanting me You could give me the earth and the moon and the stars above Still you can never, ever hope to have my love No, you can never, ever hope to have my love SS: But what if I-- ANA: (spoken) Stop! Don't start a bridge. (sung) You need to listen now, and listen good. This is not a romance under no circumstance will I give you a chance now you asked and my answer is no You can never hope Don't you ever hope Listen to me now You can never ever hope Never, ever hop to have my love

Let The Soul Save You 04:02
lyrics

Fire, explosions, mayhem People running every way A rampaging Gigantodon And finally it's safe to say It's time to be a hero Time to save the day A crowd of people trapped Behind a building's firy glow Across the street, there's Ana screaming From a car that looks about to blow I can't be in both places And I can't decide which way to go How many could die if I choose her but my heart won't let it be Then a ghostly voice inside my head says "You can count on me" Set your spirit free Let it guide you Let the soul save you Listen, let it show you the way The soul will save you Open up your heart and let it happen Let the soul save you A phantom flies from me to Ana while I get the fire squared away By the time I stop Gigantodon I can see she's gonna be okay She leaves before I get back But maybe that's better anyway My spirit form returns to me Supersonic Soul indeed It says, long as your heart is open I can help you any time you need

Cancellation 04:12
lyrics

Suit up, Supersonic Soul For you are needed The heroes of this world have been defeated But you represent an opportunity You and maybe you alone have an immunity No time to ease into this revelation In my world, your world is a publication As real as any world in all creation But vulnerable to fickle cancellation To save your friends you'll need the memories you have locked inside It's time that you remember how you died This was never meant to be your destination You should have had more time to learn this information But now the heroes face annihilation So, fictional or not, you're their salvation You have to summon courage, set your fears aside And risk it all to save them Remember SUPERSONIC SOUL: How I died (Remember) What is the Black Page? I remember.

Prologue/I Remember 05:41
lyrics

PROLOGUE: This is my last issue. Turn the page. After 24, I'm through. Turn the page. I've been in black and white since everyone stopped reading. If the world needs a hero, I'm not the one they're needing. Just turn the page. I remember pulpy pages A world of no ink, just pencil gray I walked for ages and ages To let The Black Page take it all away The nothingness was so inviting Gave it up willingly Why did you bring me back? READER: Because what I see in you is so much more than you do I see beauty, love, and truth And what you mean to me Is so much more than you can see What you mean is more than SUPERSONIC SOUL: Emptiness, pain, and darkness When the best you feel is nothing Then you pray for nothing to be the end If your life doesn't feel worth saving Then The Black Page looks like a friend I let the darkness take the pain away Almost happily Why did you bring me back? Because what I see in you is so much more than you do I see beauty, love, and truth And what you mean to me Is so much more than you can see What you mean is more than Emptiness, pain, and darkness (feel what you mean) (be what I see) (be the hero) (you are to me) If your book has never been cancelled You don't know what The Black Page is about But I promise you, if it's the last thing I do You can count on me to get you out I'm going in willingly once again But not to stay this time I'm bringing back my friends Because what I see in you inspires what I try to do I see beauty, love, and truth And what you mean to me Is what we all hope we can be (It's your time now) I can finally be the hero

Thank You 06:00

I'd still be fighting crime In a bargain bin comic book Always knowing I'd win Always willing to leap before I look Never losing Never growing Never learning Never knowing I'd still be black and white I'd still just be a cartoon hero If I hadn't been canceled I would never have loved Better, as they say, to have loved and lost I would never have learned Justice is done only when you know the cost And the music Beautiful music Screamed all my life,and I Never knew a voice could do that And the spirit inside So much more power when your heart is your guide So I had to be canceled For the Reader to try to show me Who I could be if I learned from mistakes Who I could be if I let my heart break If not for love - If not for the Reader If not for love - I couldn't have loved her If not for love - If not for the spirit If not for love - I couldn't have saved her If not for love - If not for Ana If not for love - I couldn't have saved them If not for love I couldn't have found my way home So thanks to the Reader For giving back my life Thanks to the spirit For giving me all the strength I need Thanks to Ana For giving me so much more to feel I know who I am and I'm alive Life never felt like this Maybe I never really lived before My spirit sees in color now A million vivid hues A world of peaceful yellows Fiery reds And sometimes deepest blues And it is so beautiful Even sadness cannot take the joy away I can never do enough to show you But I hope that you can hear me say How much I have to thank you for Life never felt like this before
