1. The Chemical Age
The industry of living
We are the cause, we know the cure
We're keeping it a secret
You never really can be sure
Tell me are you feeling better
Cause I can change the weather
You're under our suspicion
We rule the ones who make the rules
There's really no decision
The over medicated fools
Now that I can change the weather
Things are gettin better
Yes it's all the rage, this chemical age
For those who have the power
The deeper pockets longer live
Invention of condition
With all the fear they have to give
Now that you are feeling better
You're gonna live forever
Oh it's all the rage, this chemical age
End the pain, if we find a vein
And if you lose your mind.
We knew it all the time.... all the time
Now you live in a medicated fantasy
You will be
Living free of all your ups and downs
All your symptoms fading
Turn into another ill
Condition is degrading
All you need is one more pill
Now that you can live forever
You'll never get much better
I hate to ruin all the fun
Of a nations population
On a never ending numb
And we know it's really all the rage
Cause we're living as we're dying
In this chemical age
Watching The Radio
So I ran through today, like I had somewhere to be
Ail I did was create more of a past
I'm trying very hard to keep in tune with you
But something tells me it would never last
So I just drift away from the modern day
I retreat into a place where I can hide
Somehow it makes more sense, to leave this present tense
Familiar things that melt into my mind...again
And then the music plays
I'm still watching the radio
Nothing new that I want to know
I'm still watching the radio
Until its time for me to go
Still the same old dream, not much change in me
The notes they still just float around my head
Connected to the world, but never say a word
Glowing faces in a sad cafe
So I just drift away, from the modern day
I retreat into a place where I can hide
And when you play with me the game of melody
The song is gonna win it everytime... and then
And still I hear the music play
And all I really want, is what no one can have
And yet what I have. Is more than I need
Watching the radio
Its time for me to go
2. Broken Toys
I remember this room
And I remember dreaming here
Now it feels so empty
A place that I once held so dear
But something's hanging around me
Ghosts of childhood memories
Somethings telling me, gotta leave it be
No you really can't go back... home
Do you hear that noise
It's just broken toys
Another box of history
Spills across the plastic floor
Cancelled checks of a past life
A bank account that is no more
Mists of times slowly passing
A place where now and then collide
Oh and theres the view, a minute more will do
Why the hell did I come back. home
Did you hear that noise
It's just broken toys
I don't want to play with all those broken toys
What are they still doing here
I see through the dust and the years
I thought that I put you away
I hope that you haven't come back to stay
Well you all should have stayed
Where you were
Cause I put you away
Could you tell me why you showed up now
Please go away
Would you please let me be in my own space
My own time, just get outta here
Can you hear that noise
It's just broken toys
I don't want to play with all those broken toys
Nothing's ever really forgotten
3. Prelude To Farewell
(инструментал)
4. Relic Of The Modern World
Questions Overture
Do you know where you're running
Do you run from today, do you run from today
Tell mo arc you still breathing.
Do you breathe in the day, do you breathe in the day
The Decision
I've been living at light speed
With too much information in my head
But what I need is a good sleep
That super highway's running through my bed
After all these years, its time that I leave it behind
A disconnect from space and time
A sense of peace of things to come
Not wasting time with things that have no purpose
A disconnect from space and time
The Disconnect
I'm no longer in touch, I'm no longer in need
I'm no longer the one, who lives by the screen
Now I will fade into night, now there is nobody here
Now theres no number to call, I have just disappeared
I wear a disguise of someone who's losing their mind
The few things that I leave behind In plain sight I will hide
I will hide
A New Life
No longer a machine, who's plugged in constantly
A simple way to bo, time passes peacfully
I'll keep my spirit pure, and keep my world secure
A simple way to be, time passes peacefully
And what I leave behind, arc relics of this modern world
Artifacts and plastic maps of roads that lead mo here
The things we had to have to keep up with this modern world
No longer have a hold on me, I've loeked the past up tight
There is no weight left on my bock. I think they call it free
Though I stand among the crowds
A sea of tranquility
Strange Changes
Now that I'm disconnoctcd.
Something's happening to me
The world looks a bit strange, yet still the same
The mirror docs not reflect me
I'm speaking to no one.
Or they arc not talking to mo
I dont feel in danger, just more of a stranger
The stranger it's getting to be
The Fading
Walking homo in the moonlight, desperately
Looking for some kind of answers
To whats been happening to me
Somehow I feel like I'm fading, so slowly
Passing through doors like a window.
That somchow's been opened for me
Docs my voice still make a sound
Screaming but no one s around
The silence drowns
Do I want to get back from here
I don't feci as lost as I did before
All the world looks so different from here
But something's telling me that I must see more
Why do I hear someone calling for me?
AT PEACE
A Grand Farewell
In my book of future memories
Another page has turned
And if I look behind me now
I'd see the bridge I've burned
Now I feel I have forever
In a never ending dream
Where I am, I don't know
But its where I'm meant to be
In this modern world
