Sunset is suddenly brought to the edge of her friendship with Rainbow Dash. Whatever they had is broken, and she's now crossing alone into the unknown to create a path, hopefully one leading to her finding herself.

This is one of the most emotionally intense songs I've written. Excuse the guitar playing, I'm still trying to figure out how to make it sound best.

Big thanks to Mystic Genesis and DaWillstanator for their voices on this one again.

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]

I knew we were at odds a lot,
Especially when I first came here,
And then I made a name here,
And I'm ashamed to say that I displayed it plain,
But you came to my aid and forgave me, hey,
That means an awful lot, and I know that I really put you on the spot,
But we're fighting like a snake and an ocelot, and it's not gonna break me,
But it's gonna take its toll on you,

Shot for shot, I never thought your finger would aim at me
Saying all these things that I can't believe
Trying to paint me as angry,
And going back to that faded me,
You're frustrating me, because you're not the friends
That I made, not one of you has tried to defend
What I've gained, like you think that this reformation
Is me saying I'm sorry again and again?

Am I your friend cause you actually
Want to try and make amends with the past of me,
Or do you just feel bad for me,
Feeling sad cause you shattered me?
You better say it while you still have your back to me
Cause if you keep going straight you'll see nothing but catastrophe
And that's not something that I want to have to see
But you're really gonna clash with me
Aren't you Dash?

Then go ahead, fight with your band
Go and push with your plan
To make the Sirens stand down,
It's like you can't see now
This disharmony is really harming me and it's disarming the rest of the of your pals
Spotlight's on your mind, it's true,
But you deny and you cry till your face is two
Shades bluer than your normal tone
And you wonder why I'm battling these bands alone.

[Chorus]

I won't sit and wait for you to
Finally come to ground with me
And I won't hesitate to
Find another way around
You see
Even if you hate me for it
I'll keep pushing through
I can't sit and wait,
I have to turn my back on you


[Verse 2]

You make it hard to say "it's nothing personal"
When everything I do seems to work for null
But it's worse for me, because it fervently
Hurts to further this friendship, it burns in me
I spent the past six months trying to turn myself
Into someone who was free, who could learn herself,
And not burn herself, and now I'm back, built up
And ready to act, I'm gonna jack this up,

And if you're not gonna work with me,
Gonna keep being a jerk to me
And straight irking me,
I'll draw a line in the murk between
You and I, and skirt scenes,
Where we don't see eye to eye
Cause I don't want to be the one
To admit that we're done when you're already gone
But that's how it feels when you
Step on my heels,
And the arguments just go on,

Cause you think I'm the problem here
When I'm the only one who's really got it clear
Nobody else has spotted the obvious
Dead giveaway your head's too big for your body
But no, I'm the one who's making a scene
Turning back to the demon I promised I'd cease being,
You were already falling to pieces completely
And now you're dead set on tryin' to beat me?

You act like you've already cracked, that leaves me
To take my own path, wherever that leads me
If you don't want to, you don't have to believe me,
But I'll say clean, you aren't making this easy
I'm gonna walk away from all this talk, okay
Before my pain makes me say something I'll regret,
I'm jaded, but I won't let us fade,
I'm not giving up on you yet

[Chorus]

[Intermission]

Sunset: "You're not stopping me, Rainbow. Good luck in the Battle of the Bands, try not to break any of your other friendships."

Twilight: "Sunset, wait!"

Rainbow: "Don't worry about her, Twilight, she's made her choice."

[Verse 3]

Walking away but still shaking
I told them off, now it's time to quit waiting,
Time to start making paces, but inside I'm breaking,
No steps I take can quite quell this quaking
Can't show or tell the kind of hell I'm facing,
Meaning well, but I need some help escaping
From myself, to pass this with no mistakes,
Cause if I slip up now, all my friends will hate me-
,
I'm tired of tiptoeing, apologetically
Throwing regretful sentiments to get rejected,
So y'know? Forget it, I'm not gonna let it
Offset me, nah, I'm setting off with my own set,
I'm on my own road, the path for me
Is less travelled, it's lonesome, but after we
Make or break this whole thing, we'll either have a laugh,
Or I'll never shake the past and it's grasp on me
