Toyplay, Just Toyplay Metajoker,

I've been coming back to this album ever since it has been released. I know every word of lyric, every note played, but I was never in the financial position to support it.

This album got me through 2 movings and supported me over 5 different jobs and even a new field of education. A lot has changed in my life. I even made mistakes, but got Second Chaces

I left the Brony community shortly after this album was released, but this is the only part I revisit and sing in full voice! Favorite track: Second Chances II.

Smith8154 I absolutely love your music! I listen to it all the time. Can't wait until you release some more! Favorite track: Sisters United I - A Lunar Lament.

Caleb Allen There's not a single song in this album that I don't like. Metajoker should be more well known in the Brony community; he certainly deserves it. Favorite track: This Feeling (w/ FraGmenTd, ft. Josh Makosky).

I Remember 05:59
I remember all those centuries ago, Back when the world was new It seemed so flawless, now I know That no perfection's ever true. I once considered you a friend, Before my world went straight to hell The scars you've cause will never mend But then, you know that all too well. Oh, Celestia, my dear, We used to laugh, we use to play But now the world has changed, I fear And all because of that one day. Its truth seems like mythology For none recall except us two, Now misery belongs to me And perfect bliss resides in you. The choices that I made perhaps Were not the wisest, yes it's true But even so, we used to laugh, Why did it have to end so soon? Oh, Celestia, you were my rock Before the fates led us astray But now on different roads we walk I wish that you would turn my way. You chose to live your royalty And left your dear old friend behind, All alone, I'm never free. For I only wish that you'd be mine, I thought we were a perfect pair, I thought those days of bliss were real, I guess you never really cared, And now Chaotic hatred's all I feel. You left me helpless, I consented, Turned to spreading fear across the earth Do I regret? Have I repented? As if my words hold any worth. Oh, Celestia, my love, We used to laugh, we used to play But now you rule the sun above. I guess there's one thing left to say: Celestia, I hate you so, My days have darkened, dull and gray I wanted you with all my soul But you just turned and walked away.

What if I am a broken soul, Trying to take back the life you stole? Young of heart but I'm dying for some control Endless days in the broken stone You are here, but I'm all alone You are family only in blood and bone (Chorus) Where's the sound of laughter? Where's the life I'm after? Endless hoping for a sign Wondering if the fault was mine. In the distance, my pining sight Catches glimpse of a shining light Bursting for like a bird in an open flight Now the hope I was praying on Comes upon me, it's been too long Singing out to the world in a joyful song Raise up high your voices I forgive your choices Now the world is laughter Hope that I was after Where is the sadness in my heart? Gone in a flash, my life can start

Crooked Eyes 06:04
I thought I could be Someone I'm not, happy and free I just want to be loved, Become the one I'm dreaming of But it doesn't make a different, I see past the lies The world's so clear now To these crooked eyes (Chorus) And I really hoped That things would change But they will always Be the same What could I do When times were tough? It seems like everything Was never enough Sweet daughter of mine Always so kind, no flaws to find I know that it's hard You're dealt this card, you want to restart But it doesn't make a difference I can't soothe your cries The world's so cruel To these crooked eyes. (Chorus) And I really hoped That things would change But they will always Be the same. What could I do When times were tough? It seems like everything Was never enough. And what was I to do? I'm not as perfect as you It's just not fair That no one cares I want to start anew I really hoped That things would change But they will always Be the same. What can I do? I just can't cope And through it all And through it all (Chorus) I really hoped That things would change But they will always Be the same. What could I do When times were tough? It seemed like everything Was never enough.

So, now everything is wrong I know the time of peace is gone Oh, when I face what I have done Oh, then the world can finally move on (Chorus) And here I stand A queen inside my soul And all the land Is under my control And though I want to share it I don't know what to say... I never thought it'd end this way (Verse) Why did I feel so despised By the leadership I prized Where was love? It was disguised Right there, inside Celestia's sparkling eyes (Chorus) And here I stand A queen inside my soul And all the land Is under my control And though I want to share it I don't know what to say... I never thought it'd end this way And here I stand, I rule the morn and night At my command The world is lost to light And though it's what I've dreamed of It's not the same you see... Celestia, return to me

Standing 'neath the evening moon The echoed silence in my eyes Every night I wait for you From dusk till morning rise Universes, speckled stars I take another fleeting glance Past mistakes they brought me here To find a second chance (Chorus) So sister, please return to me, then will we Raise the morning light Without your love I'm waiting here Beneath the fading night Every breeze is like a sigh, A call of long forgotten days Days of innocence and joy Before we parted ways Forgive me angel of the dark And show me that I'm not in shade Return to me from distant moon Beneath the sky we made (Chorus) So sister, please return to me, then will we Raise the morning light Without your love I'm waiting here Beneath the fading night So sister, please return to me, then will we Raise the morning light Without your love I'm waiting here Beneath the fading night So sister, please return to me, then will we Raise the morning light And we will face A better place When sisters reunite

Home Again 05:47
Oh Mother, I cannot believe just how It's been so long, I wish you still were here Oh Mother, I can hear you even now, The quiet songs You sang to quell my fear Oh Mother, every lullaby you sang Put me to sleep I wish I had that back 'Cause oh, Mother every night it is the same The Nightmare creeps My hope is turning black (Chorus) I wish that things could change, I know I'm missing you But every time I call it love I know it isn't true I'll never need a lover, and I'll never need a friend But every day I wish that I could just go home again Dear Mother, please don't hate me what I've done It's all I've got I want to save us all Dear Mother, can't you see that I have won And this is what I dreamed since I was small? Can't you see that I have done our people well, I took the love Of those who thought us lies! Dear Mother, please won't you come back and tell me I'm above The ones who I've defied? (Chorus) I wish that things could change, I know I'm missing you But every time I call it love I know it isn't true I'll never need a lover, and I'll never need a friend But every day I wish that I could just go home again (Interlude) But no, you've gone away You left me all alone I pray I'll show you all, I did it right, But maybe love will win this fight I wanted to prove I'd prevail To show you all I wouldn't fail But Mother oh, it hurts my core, I won the battle, but lost the war I see it now, it's not about the hate If only I could learn such love, I wouldn't face this fate Dear mother I cannot go home again The place I knew is dead and gone My time is at its end... (Chorus) I wish that things could change, I know I'm missing you But every time I call it love I know it isn't true I'll never need a lover, and I'll never need a friend But every day I wish that I could just go home again

In the end, it was easy for my life to break Every choice that I made was another mistake But a second chance takes all the world for a turn One more chance to entrance and to love and to learn And wo-oh, the world will be free And wo-oh, you'll be with me I use to wonder what friendship could be Now you're here to share it with me (Chorus) This feeling is taking me over This feeling that I can't deny 'Cause through all the pain and the crippling loss It's so good to know I'm alive And I won't give in to the sorrow And I will not rest till I've won And I'll make a brighter tomorrow And give you the world when I'm done And I'll leave you the world when I'm done Broken hearts can restart See the light in the skies Looking into the truth in the depths of your eyes No more sorrow Arriving at some better place Finding home in the heart And the smile on your face And wo-oh, the world will be free And wo-oh, you'll be with me I use to wonder what my life could be Now you're here to share it with me (Chorus) This feeling is taking me over This feeling that I can't deny 'Cause through all the pain and the crippling loss It's so good to know I'm alive And I won't give in to the sorrow And I will not rest till I've won And I'll make a brighter tomorrow And give you the world when I'm done And I'll leave you the world when I'm done This feeling is taking me over This feeling that I will be free Cause through all the pain and the weight of the world It's so good to know you're with me (Chorus) This feeling is taking me over This feeling that I can't deny 'Cause through all the pain and the crippling loss It's so good to know I'm alive And I won't give in to the sorrow And I will not rest till I've won And I'll make a brighter tomorrow And give you the world when I'm done And I'll leave you the world when I'm done

It's so easy before it gets hard Every window a million shards Every doorway a lock with no key Seems tomorrow's forgotten to be Second Chances come out of the dark Telling us it's alright to restart Telling us we can smile again We can take one more chance now and then One more chance for us to find a name One more chance to shield the dying flame Waiting always till the time arrives For some second chance to change our lives

about

So this is it, my first album! After a year of work (plus some life on the side) I'm proud to present "Second Chances".

Every song on the album tells the story (or at least delves into the mind) of a different character. Whether it's Chrysalis' internal struggle to balance who she has become with her expectations as a leader, or the two Celestial Sisters and their journey to reconnection, each song encompasses some aspect of Tabula Rasa; a "clean slate". Can we become something greater through our hardest struggles? Not every song answers this question, but through the course of this album I hope that the listener will feel that they, like anyone in life, can find a Tabula Rasa, a "Second Chance", when they need it most.

My greatest appreciation and admiration to FraGmenTd, who helped with such a great deal of this album's long production. Your mastering work, knowledge, talent and support were key elements to making this album what it has become.

Thanks also to Josh Makosky and my good friend Delve for their assistance. You guys are awesome!
