lyrics

Getting caught up in the techno blitz
Being consumed by the glamour and dazzled by the glitz
I reach for the toys that would satisfy a child
Knowing that none of them can pacify the wild
As this world offers riches and promises me more
Leaving only therapists as a sweet reward
Spinning downward in an endless spiral
Giving in to my fears and living in denial
That I need to get out
That I need to get back
Get out (Get Out)
Get back (Get)
Back to my senses and back to my God (4x)

Touch me
Receive me
Loose the chains and set me free

Lying back I sink into my bed springs
Being burdened by the weight of so many needless things
I cling to the hope that can dash away the fear
Running so far how can you possibly be near
As I recall the gentle words you used to speak to me
Still I cover my eyes SO AS NOT TO SEE
That I am slipping yet you are reaching
Seeing that these trials do all of the teaching
Telling me to get out
Telling me to get back
Get out (Get out)
Get back (Get)
Back to my senses and back to my God (4x)

I don't know what I was thinking
I thought I had everything
BUT
I had nothing...
I am longing to be restored
I am longing to be adored
I am longing for something more
Can you give me something more?

Touch me (at the deepest of my being)
Receive me (Because I am believing)
Loose the chains and me free

Monochrome
by Scandroid

This album has some serious 80's love going on and is a side project of Klayton, the genius behind Celldweller and Circle Of Dust. Midiboy

In Scarlet & Vile (Special Edition)
by The Echoing Green

This is one of the first synthpop bands I ever got into, and this album is by far their best album and among my favorite synthpop albums of all time. Highly recommend this one! Midiboy

Alpha and Omega (1999)
by Azimuth A.D.

This album right here....so good. It has a 70s vibe to it and yet has a slight electronic folk sound as well, but yet also modern. I love the singer's voice. She's so easy to listen to! Midiboy
