Our Lady Peace Album

The age of spiritual machines. Ten to fifteen billion years ago, the universe

You haven't seen the world outside for days
You sleep, you hope, you wait
Imagination disappears
And all the dreams you have you save
Confrontation like a mirror
They try to take your mind away
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means
To bleed and know that you're okay
Are you waiting?
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what, I'm always right there behind you (x2)
Bombarded by the atmosphere
You breath, you choke, you breath again
Conversation disappears
You realize they're not your friends
The panic of the future rears
You dig, you jerk
You find another way
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means
To bleed and know that you're okay
Are you waiting?
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what, I'm always right there behind you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what, I'm always right there behind you
You open up my veins now i dont feel the same
no no no
You open up my brain but i wont be replaced
No matter what you say
No matter what you do

The year is 2029. The machines will convince us that they are conscious, that
they
have their own agenda worthy of our respect. They'll embody human qualities and

Well it's good to know that you'll be okay
I've been waiting for this
And I'll be there to sit
While you pray no one's blaming me
I'm not supposed to wait
When they open up your heart...
I have been good
I understood
Like a machine they'll fix you from the start
I'm in repair
The life that we share
I know that I'll be lost in
But we're always in repair
Lock the door, lock the door
And it's good to know that you'll drive away
From this car crash nightmare
And I'll be there to help you again
There's no danger
We're just killing time again
When they order up new parts
I have been good
I understood
Like a machine they'll fix you from the start
I'm in repair
The life that we share
I know that I'll be lost in
But we're always in repair
Take this time to figure it out
Know the wire, the fuse, the things that you doubt
The wheels, the air, the metal, the mouth
Something, something, something
I have been good
I understood
Like a machine they'll fix you from the start
I'm in repair
The life that we share
I know that I'll be lost in
But we're always in repair
Take this time to figure it out
The wire, the fuse, the things that you doubt
The wheels, the air, the metal, the mouth

How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there?
Did anybody stare?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
How many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high?
Is everyone afraid?
How many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart?
Have they ever seen your pain?
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive

You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had
Oh, I woke up in hell today
I woke up depressed and drained
But that's ok cause
I promised not to hurt you again
Apparently I'm to blame
But apparently I've been framed
My memory that won't help me
When it's happening
Out of mind
Out of soul
Out of light
Out of control
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok
Oh, I promised you I would change
I'm an asshole, and I'm ashamed
And I'm upset 'cause I betrayed
Everything that you gave
Will you ever let me explain?
Can I beg you to let me stay?
Don't quit me cause
I'll never let this happen
Out of mind
Out of soul
Out of the mind
Of of control
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok
You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had
You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok
We'll make it up to you
Make it up to you

Your life has been so hard
It's been dried up angels that can't keep guard
I'm trying to reach your hand
But I'm on fire
I never planned to fade... away
Stay with me
Stop pretending when they say that you're nothing
Are you sad?
Are you holding yourself?
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be..
I'm drowning inside your head
Help me to answer
Help understand
But it's been so long since we talked like friends
Please, forgive me,
I'm just a man
Whose makes mistakes
Are you sad?
Are you holding yourself?
Are you locked in your room?

2029 there is a growing discussion about the legal rights of computers and what

I gave up on you.
And your exercise
And the world that I knew
Then, I fell back on you.
Cause I need more time
And I need an excuse
I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your jesus, I'm your pride
We're made to heal..
I depend on you
For the wings of life
And the air that you move
And I defended you
For this one last time
For the nerves you abuse.
I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your jesus, I'm your pride

I'm not waiting for the answers
On a Sunday afternoon
I'm just too drunk to remember
Why I always slip through
The drugs and fake ambition
Have been helping me to hide
But it's the endless television
That has kept me inside
Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?
I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved
But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
I'm not asking for forgiveness
For the things that I don't know
But I'm really not that different
You just made me think so
Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?
I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved
But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
You're the big green monkey, everone's a junkie
Black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
And I'll remember this someday
Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We
make
extraordinary efforts to delay it and often consider its intrusion a tragic
event.
Yet we'd find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It

gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were

too much of it. If death were indefinitely put off, the human psyche would end

All my friends
Alone on a hill
They're just looking down
With violent minds out on loan
They're just not equipped
Insistence
We hope for the best
Were not making sense in silence
Wait for the day when you're better than...
In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on
Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for
Still they sit
Alone on a hill
Their mechanical thoughts have left
The out on their own
They're not buying this
In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on
Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again

So, you've made up your mind
You're tired of trying
Time to be scared
And you wanted to fly
You can't close your eyes
Time to beware
But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong
So you wasted your time
You willed it goodbye
Time to be scared
You thought you could buy
Your last piece of mind
Time to beware
But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong
But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling

She builds her own satellite
From an old rusted chair
She leaves this old world behind
And the things that she cares
Maybe she's gone
But it won't be for long
What do I know?
Maybe she's found
What we all dream about
What do I know?
She's beautiful and wonderful
I can't compare
It's not that fair
She builds a strong alibi
From the future that's here
She needs to know I'm alive
And that I'm flesh and I tear
Maybe she's wrong
But I won't mind my own
What do I know?
And their silicone
With a touch of her soul
What do I know?
She's beautiful and wonderful
I can't compare
