1.	The Peddler on Skid Row 05:13	lyrics
𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘣𝘺: 𝘎𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘰, 𝘓𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘣𝘺: 𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘉𝘦𝘯, 𝘎𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘰, 𝘙𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘺 Amongst the busy city streets, there lies a lonely peddler With trinkets, bells, and whistles to sell, no one mind the meddler As he ambles 'long the 'walk, he doesn't have the time to talk Weaving through the city folk, running from the law Nickel and diming millionaires, their pockets always heavier And when the rich are out on town, the thieves are never steadier Blending with the astute crowd, no-one is the wiser Moving in on moneybags, stealing from the no-good misers On Skid Row, day by day, moving through the alleyways The competition finds its way, brandishing their knives The peddler flying through the night, knows how to avoid a fight Descending on his cornered prey, always making the first strike
2.	Nguyen/Deimos 04:19	lyrics
𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 & 𝘓𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘣𝘺: 𝘙𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘺 Red skies endlessly in my head Where the ashes of my heart dread Only now I feel it instead Hopelessly drifting in I'm lost with Nguyen on Deimos I'm torn apart with anguish and woes I'm lost with Nguyen and Deimos I love her, oh Dreams, I'll always have the same dreams Floating 'till the void screams Only now I'll wake up and plead I want it all back I'm lost with Nguyen on Deimos I'm torn apart with anguish and woes I'm lost with Nguyen on Deimos I love her, oh I'm lost with Nguyen on Deimos I'm torn apart with anguish and woes I'm lost with Nguyen and Deimos I love her, oh

4.	Spare a Dime 04:24	lyrics
𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘣𝘺: 𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘉𝘦𝘯, 𝘎𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘰, 𝘓𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘣𝘺: 𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘉𝘦𝘯 Inside my mind I had Everything right But failed to take action Or have a reaction While biding my time Inside my mind I was Turning my wheels Shifting gears like clockwork Making plans that would work But I stood still Can you spare me a dime To buy me some time Since I've fallen behind Can you spare me a dime Can you spare me a dime To buy me some time Since I've fallen behind Can you spare me a dime Inside my mind I had infinite tries To get everything right But my actions were slight I've run out of time
5.	Point of Sale 04:01	lyrics
