I miss everyone in my life and sometimes I feel so empty.
I walk outside and try to reach out.

Can anyone hear me? Or should I say it again?
We are two hearts, we are hungry to be human.

I see faces appear on a screen. Don't wanna stop caring for people I love.
But you are here and that's all I want.

I know you can hear me but I'll say it again.
We are two hearts, we are hungry to be human.


Hungry To Be Human (demo)

All music performed and produced by Glenn James.

I will never change. What change can I make?
I'll envy everyone I see today.

What do you do that is good? Do you do something that I should?
I've got to change.

I wish I was smarter. Just a little more tough to face this day.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do: I'll fight the tendency to lie.
I see the sadness in your eyes. Don't cry.

In this life with you there is nothing I can miss.
You and me, we'll fight off hopelessness.

And I know it'll catch up on me, waiting for something to change.
With you's where I'll always be.

I'm not any smarter. Just a little more tough to face this day.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do: I'll fight the tendency to lie.

I see the sadness in your eyes.

The Juncture of Memory [orchestra]

I need you to make a sound
I can’t bear to see you leave
I’m not good with subtlety
I want to scream
I want to scream

Speak to me, don’t fall away
Don’t hide
Speak to me, don’t fall away

We fill our lives with silence
We choose what not to say
All we hear are echoes
Of how it used to be
Of how it used to be

I’m tired of asking questions
Of you and of myself
I’m tired of faking smiles
To everyone else

I want you near, I want you here
I feel you fall away
If you leave me on my own
I will fall apart
I will fall apart

Speak to me, don’t fall away
Don’t hide
Speak to me, don’t fall away
Don’t fall away

Don't Fall Away (demo)

I know exactly what you mean, what you mean to me.

She could be the one who would understand
exactly who I'm supposed to be
and will love the person that she sees and she sees me.

She could be the one who would understand.

I would follow to the end of the earth if I knew it was real.
I would crawl, get lost and hurt and I would not know what to feel.
I would crawl to the end of the earth if I knew it was real.

She could be the one who would understand
exactly who I'm supposed to be
and will love the person that she sees and she sees me.

She could be the one who would understand
exactly who I'm supposed to be
and will love the person that is me. Oh, it's me.

Could she be the one who would understand?

I would follow to the end of the earth if I knew it was real.
I would crawl, get lost and hurt and I would not know what to feel.
I would crawl to the end of the earth if I knew it was real.
