Everything I want to do, I'm always behind the times When I finally hear about it, I'm always at the end of the line You can go and chart my progress, I'm the dot that's off the chart I'm good at making music, but you can't really call it art I'm just a little bit behind the curve I've always been the late bloomer always the average size I'm the weakest link on the chain, the one with the thinnest ties I was always late on the starting block, never shoot high, shoot low And when there's a change in my life, I'm always the last to know.

Tired World 04:59
Is this a piece of my mind that’s fallen off Staring at me from the ground Crying to me in my elevated loft It’s the most horrible sound What part of me did I lose Somewhere along the way Is it a side of me that I refuse To see the light of day I lost myself in trying to live I lost myself what I had to give Can I rebuild and grow again I lost myself in a tired world There’s a piece of my mind that’s gone forever I can never regain my trust Even if I searched I think I would never Pick up all the ash and dust My compassion is burning in pain My love is trying in vain To save the only part of me That wants to stay the same.

Mistaken 05:16
You say you're stuck in hell and you can't get anywhere Well there is no magic spell to make you start to care No I won't be the one who helps you get out of that place Complacency and laziness brought you to your fall from grace I am not your savior You're the only one that can get you out of your lower ranks Even if I gave you a leg-up, you wouldn't know how to say thanks Get yourself together and cop a new attitude Straighten up your style and don't fucking call me "dude"

Insolence 04:11
Hell am I talking about, I don't know I'm all up in your face screaming so You think there's some kind of reason for it Well here's one reason: I don't give a shit Hell's that mean? Fuck if I know! So whenever someone gets on your case Morons and jerk-offs all over the place There's only one way I know to win the race Grow some big brass cojones and get in their face like--

Half 04:10
I'm just a static depiction of an empty shell I've got nothing to offer, I've got nothing to sell Why would anyone in their right mind want to be Infatuated with a person like me If I ever made the right decisions in my life If I ever chose the right battles I should fight I could never get a match started, make a light Now I just take my blurry place in the night I need someone to be my equal in all i want to do I need someone by my side everything i want to go through I need someone to be my other half, the half that was left out Someone to tell me where to go and what this life's about Someone once said I was someone worthwhile They might see me walking by and give me a smile One day he's gonna make it in something good All that talent and how creative I bet he could Potential is nothing without a push on the swing With no stories to tell and no songs to sing With a look of despair and loss in my eyes I just walk away again and tell myself more lies

Untouch 04:30
The futility of online relationships You can get this close and yet not touch lips Reach out for someone a half a world away And yet not know where real desires lay You can get attached to someone across the sea But how close can it's-a-small-world-after-all be? And if you finally meet but you find them a different man Would you feel that the real world foiled your cybernetic plan? I need to talk to someone, I gotta go online I want to meet somebody, I think I'll go online The advertisements say I can find a friend online You think I could find myself a lover... online? You can't see your lover and feel their breath Can't smell the sex between you Get close enough so that there are no secrets left Fill up the space between you

Inside 07:18
I'd like to look inside your mind and tell you what I see Just how you see yourself and how you see me How you see the world around you and what is to come What were we all before, what will we all become? The secrets of the mind are locked up tight All the best dreams and visions are just beyond sight If we could access all our thoughts like a hard disk drive Would we finally see the answers on how to stay alive? Can I look inside and feel your mind? I'd like to look inside your mind and play a little game To see what part of you would change and what would stay the same I'd give you all the confidence to succeed in this life Sharpen all your natural skills to a well made knife If I could play around with you and give you all you need I'd sit back and watch you in the better life you'd lead If I could see you happy, I think that would give me joy I think I could get to you if I could see past this noise

about

A collection of mods with vocals added, from the classic greatFox era. These files have been sweetened a bit with some modern processing, but they definitely are a bit rusty sounding, mainly due to the limitations of the mod tracker. However, I hope you still enjoy the songs! I plan to revisit this album with a version 2.0 in the coming years. Enjoy!
