1.I've Been Waitin' For Tomorrow(All Of My Life)
I'm hiding in the corner
Of an overgrown garden
Covering my body in leaves
And trying not to breath
All my childhood dreams
Are bursting at the seams
And dangling around my knees
I've been deformed by emotional scars
And the cancer of love has eaten out my heart
I've been stripped bare and nobody cares
And all the people i looked up to are no longer there
All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind
Another year older and what have i done
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt
Blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life
(x4~5)
All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind
Another year older and what have i done
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt
Blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life
I've been filled with useless information
Spewed out by papers and radio stations
I've been hounded by fairweather friends
Sowing the seeds for my discontent
Life is like a sewer
And i'm trying to wade thru her
I threw in my money and made my wish
But sleeping boys catch no fish
All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind
Another year older and what have i done
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt
Blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life
(x4~5)
All my childhood dreams
Are sinking round my knees
My mind has been polluted
And my energy diluted

2.This Is The Day
Well... you didn't wake up this morning,
'cause you didn't go to bed.
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red!
The calendar on your wall -- is ticking -- the days off.
You've been reading some old letters.
You smile and think how much you've changed.
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days.
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
This is the day -- when things fall into place.
You could've done anything, if you'd wanted.
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like -- glue
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
This is the day -- when things fall into place.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
(repeat to fade)
3.The Sinking Feeling
All my books lay on the table
Waitin' to unfold
I sit and stare at my reflection
While the darkness chills my bones
My head fills like a junk shop
In desperate need of repair
The path of least resistance leads to the
Garbage heap of despair
I think i'd better get back in bed
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
(x2)
You can't destroy your problems
By destroying yourself
Death is not the answer
For your soul may burn in hell
My memory my fond deceiver
Is turning all my past into pain
While i'm being raped by progress
Tomorrow's world is here to stay
They wouldn't have it any other way
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country.

4.Uncertain Smile
Peeling the skin back from my eyes, i felt suprised
That the time on the clock was the time i usually retired
To the place where i cleared my head of you;
But just for today, i think i'll lie here and dream of you.
I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
But if the sweat pours out, just shout i'll try to pull you out.
A howling wind blows the litter as the rain flows,
Street lamps pour orange colored shapes through your windows,
A broken soul stares through a pair of watering eyes,
Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile...
I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
But if the sweat pours out, just shout i'll try to pull you out.
5.The Twilight Hour
You're laying on your bed
And making shadows on the wall
It's almost too hot to move
Outside your window
People are driving home from work
For the weekend
But your waiting for the phone to ring
Your gonna tell her exactly what you think
You practice getting your mouth around the words
That explain the way you feel
You've been scared to show your real self
In case she doesn't like what she sees
You've been a prostitute to humility
She's invaded your life
And you've got to live apart
In order to survive
You were emotionally independent
But starved of affection
But now you've been trapped by tenderness
And been beaten into submission
It's now way past the hour she usually phones
You've decided not to tell her your little joke
Where could she have got to？
Why is she torturing you？
You roll on your side
And run your fingers through your hair
Your scared of losing her
And facing yourself
A red sky at night may be a shepherds delight
But your cutting chunks from your heart
And rubbing the meat into your eyes
She can't leave you now
You've given up all your friends
You're relying on her
For your independence
She can't leave you here
Alone and defenseless
You're relying on her
For your independence
(x2)
You're relying on her
(xtofade)
6.Soul Mining
Your floating down a tunnel
In a little wooden box
Your cold and your lonely and enveloped in fog
You've been prized open and left here to die
You should've trusted your instincts
'cause they don't tell lies
Something always goes wrong when things are going right
You've swallowed your pride
To quell the pain inside
Someone captured your heart
Like a thief in the night
And squeezed all juice out until it ran dry
You've been read like an open book
Page by page
You'll never tell anyone your inner thoughts again
You were taken in
By a heart of fools gold
Now your drifting in circles
In the depths of your soul
Something always goes wrong when things are going right
You've swallowed your pride
To quell the pain inside
Someone captured your heart
Like a thief in the night
And squeezed all juice out until it ran dry
(xtofade)
7.Giant
The sun is high and i'm surrounded by sand
For as far as my eyes can see
I'm strapped into a rocking chair
With a blanket all over my knees
I, i am a stranger to myself
And nobody knows i'm here
When i looked into my face
It wasn't myself i'd seen
But who i've tried to be
I'm thinking of things i'd hoped to forget
I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
And turned all of my friends into enemies
And now the past has returned to haunt me
I'm scared of god
And scared of hell
And i'm caving in upon myself
I'm scared of god
And scared of hell
And i'm caving in upon myself
How can anyone know me
When i don't even know myself？
(xtofade)
8.Perfect
It's a chilly english winter,
And solitude is never easy to maintain,
Except when it rains.
So i hang an empty smile beneath my empty eyes,
And go out for a walk.
The wet morning sun reflects off the paving-stones,
While a little dog barks its head off,
In the distance.
Chorus (x2)
Oh, what a perfect day,
To think about my silly world.
My feet are firmly screwed to the floor.
What is there to fear from such a regular world？
Passing by a cemetery,
I think of all the little hopes and dreams,
That lie lifeless and unfilled beneath the soil.
I see an old man fingering his perishing flesh.
He tells himself he was a good man and did good things.
Amused and confused by life's little ironies,
He swallows his bottle of distilled damnation.
People turn around with unseeing eyes.
They're looking for something that doesn't exist.
The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust.
No-one has time for the past, but still, in god they trust.
The future is now, but it's all going wrong.
Bodies good for nothing, but it's to nothing they belong.
People say prayers and some work hard.
If you give them all your money, they'll give you their hearts.
This town ain't going like a ghost town.
It's going like hell....
Chorus (x5)
