Relic Of The Modern World
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

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

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

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 there's 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 go, time passes peacefully 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 looked 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 disconnected 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 don't 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 somehow'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 feel 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
