Everything I Everything I want is out of my reach Open my eyes Open my eyes when there’s something to see To See Everything I Everything I want has got to be real Open my hands Open my hands when there’s something to feel To feel To feel I’m just waiting for A little something more I get lost inside From time to time I’m just waiting for A little something more I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for You Take what you want Take what you want I’ve got nothing to lose How many times How many times can I let it slip through Slip through Slip through I’m just waiting for A little something more I get lost inside From time to time I’m just waiting for A little something more I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for You I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for you I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for you I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for you I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for you I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for you I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for I’m just waiting for

I won’t change You know I won’t If it’s in my heart It’s in my bones I won’t leave Until I’m through It’s not up to me It’s not up to you I don’t want to worry anymore I don’t want to worry anymore I want to find the answers I want to be set free I’ve found no gold horizons I’ve found no dignity So I look to tomorrow But it’s so hard to see I know something better Is waiting for me I won’t change You know I won’t If it’s in my heart It’s in my bones I don’t want to worry anymore I don’t want to worry anymore I want to find the answers I want to be set free I’ve found no gold horizons I’ve found no dignity So I look to tomorrow But it’s so hard to see I know something better Is waiting for me

Modern Mann 08:11
I'm a modern man, a modern man Got a chip in my brain, wires for veins, a modern man I'm a modern man, with mechanical hands Levers for knees, part tape-machine, a modern man A simulation program Implanted in my spline Updates the latest version of me Modern man I'm not a thing of the past, I'm not second hand My expressions are real, my sensors feel, I’m a modern man Ones and zeros are all I read Inscription schemes symmetric keys and high tech magazine A simulation program Implanted in my spline Updates the latest version of me Modern man Sometimes I feel as though I need A pulse, a soul, lungs to breathe I plug myself in each night and dream To have and love my own family Modern man Modern man Modern man A simulation program Implanted in my spline Updates the latest version of me Modern man 5.0.1

THE PINES 07:04
Hummin’ along Waiting for the bell to ring Is this the end Listen for the girl to sing Further up the road Where will we go Who’s got the time To find some peace of mind I won’t be the same You won’t be the same We won’t be the same Anymore A tunnel of green Racing us through the pines If we weren’t here Would anyone seem to mind Is it all too late For us to see the way I still hope to find A little peace of mind I won’t be the same You won’t be the same We won’t be the same Anymore, no I won’t be the same You won’t be the same We won’t be the same Anymore

Exist 04:18
You are the setting sun Dancing on the water A smile for everyone A gentle rising moon Miles in the distance Always watching over you I want to feel what’s real While we’re still here As long as we have each other And don’t let go I want to feel what’s real While we’re still here As long as we exist together And don’t let go Everything I’ve dreamed Is here for us And more perfect than it seems Help me father time 
Please give us a chance A chance to make it right I want to feel what’s real While we’re still here As long as we have each other And don’t let go I want to feel what’s real While we’re still here As long as we exist together And don’t let go So what do you believe Is behind the unseen If only we could know If only we could go I want to feel what’s real While we’re still here As long as we have each other And don’t let go I want to feel what’s real While we’re still here As long as we exist together And don’t let go And don’t let go

Say a prayer and kiss the world goodbye It’s no secret between you and I We’ll figure it out Yeah Figure it out Like a diamond in a velvet sky Our existence is just passing by It’s just passing by I always thought That we would be together I always thought That we would last forever Years are flying as we outrun time Our love is the kind that can not die Yeah it can not die You can’t stop it You can’t change it You can’t resist You can’t break it You can’t slow it You can’t win I always thought That we would be together I always thought That we would last forever I always thought That we would be together I always thought That we would last forever I always thought That we would be together I always thought That we would live forever

I’m gonna give you to the morning light Pullback the curtain and let’s see inside It’s time I carried on my own way Never mind them Never mind them I’m only waiting for the sun to rise again I’m only waiting for the sun to rise again Needless torture I can feel the sting Years of abuse, I haven’t learned a thing Somebody got up and turned off the light Never mind them Never mind them I’m only waiting for the sun to rise again I’m only waiting for the sun to rise I’m just waiting for the sun to rise A little help with the morning light Let’s get together and work it out I want to love you, but I don’t know how I’m only waiting for the sun to rise again I’m only waiting for the sun to rise I’m just waiting for the sun to rise A little help with the morning light Let’s get together and work it out I want to love you, but I don’t know how I’m just waiting for the sun to rise A little help with the morning light Let’s get together and work it out I want to love you, but I don’t know how I want to love you, but I don’t know how I want to love you, but I don’t know

I always feel a little beaten up When I step inside your door Some may say it’s a waste of time A never ending war Every time I come around There’s no love here to be found I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free Please excuse if I’m running late I check out sometimes Change is hard and I’m I’m doing my best When it’s me against my mind Every time I come around There’s no love here to be found I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free Just breathe Breathe Every time I come around There’s no love here to be found I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free

Sunset to sunset Working every day Sunset to sunset I’m trying to find a way Back to you Back to who I wanna be Back to something Back to somewhere I believe Sunset to sunset Watching days go by Sometimes I wonder If I’m still alive Take me back to you Back to who I wanna be Back to something Back to somewhere I believe I believe I believe I believe Sunset to sunset Better days ahead Sunset to sunset I just need to get Back to you Back to who I wanna be Back to something Back to somewhere Back to you Back to who I wanna be Back to something Back to somewhere

Come To Me 05:19
How long have I waited for you Won’t you come to me Shine a light so I can find my way home Won’t you come to me Won’t you come to me Colors fall all around my door Won’t you come to me The stars look brighter than they did before Won’t you come to me Won’t you come to me How long how long how long How long how long how long If I’d only known If I’d only shown like you If I’d only known If I’d only shown like you I’ll keep the lights on How long have I waited for you Won’t you come to me How long how long how long How long how long how long How long how long how long How long how long how long How long How long How long How long How long How long How long How long How long

So you’re just venting Respecting’s not ending But neither is truth I’m relentlessly vending Not selling but sending A message it’s pending Offending so many Depending on Plenty of everything Can you pass the TV remote Synthetic endorphins Emotions are orphaned You’re whole life is corporate Like the tube that you live in You’ve chosen your prison No pot to piss in Your pants are missing Are you listening No more genetically modified Homo sapiens All I’m asking Is for a little space between All I’m hoping Is for a little room to agree Faithless and faceless Like ads on Craigslist College grads living in basements Puppets as leaders That will not lead us Just delete us I don’t care who pays As long as you get your package For free in two days I guess the rainforests can go to hell All I’m asking Is for a little space between All I’m hoping Is for a little room to agree Programmed by pixels Distracted by whistles The big machine Devours the invisible Frequently vibrating Amplifying and fading Blind to the hating that’s waiting around every corner All I’m asking Is for a little space between All I’m hoping Is for a little room to agree

Another Life 04:51
And I run and I run and I run Towards another life And I run and I run and I run Towards another life Stretched to the limits Don’t know how quit it Somehow it all seems wrong Still I continue on And I run and I run and I run Towards another life And I run and I run and I run Towards another life I’m on a sinking road With everyone I know I see a sign up ahead And it won’t be long I’ll find my way back home And I run and I run and I run Towards another life And I run and I run and I run Towards another life And I run and I run and I run Towards another life And I run and I run and I run Towards another life

Last Flame 08:12
The street burst into flame Morning light is burning through the door If we don’t meet again You’re the one I’ll be waiting for You will be the last flame You will be the last flame Its been a long while You’ve been away erased my light Drifting through the years You’re the one I’ve held for all this time You will be the last flame You will be the last flame You will be the last You will be the last The street burst into flame Morning light is burning through the door If we don’t meet again You’re the one I’ll be waiting for You will be the last flame You will be the last flame You will be the last flame You will be the last You will be the last You will be the last You will be the last
