I am the Cryogenic Man Everyone I've ever known is dead - waking up coming to coming back pulling through resurrect see the light rejuvenate come alive don't you know the future was a long long time ago - The world of the past contained nothing for me, so I left it all behind I always felt that the world was unfair, I only hope the future's more kind But there's only one universe Don't forsake what you've got it could be worse I don't suggest that you just give up without a fight Confront your problems or they'll ruin your life I was awakened by the beginning of time In the city night, the planet fights, the sun to stay alive Everybody's beautiful, evolution saw to that But everybody feels the same, computer generated love All the raw emotions, are filtered out of the mind They've taken pain, they've taken fear, they've taken envy and greed They've even taken the hope and the desire that every human needs I get the feeling I do not belong So much has changed in all of these years Now I start to think the past wasn't really so bad What if I had just persevered But there's only one universe Don't forsake what you've got it could be worse I don't suggest that you just give up without a fight Confront your problems or they'll ruin your life You know I'm right Sick of all the listlessness and emotional monotony I long for the past that I took for granted, In spite of what it did to me Luckily the future has a simple solution, you can time travel anywhere Although the people never use this facility, they are too apathetic to care I'm ushered into the time capsule, nothing seems to happen at first But suddenly, history flashes before me, spinning past my eyes in reverse - coming back proven wrong to a time when I belong I was ungrateful couldn't see the blessing life had given me don't you know the future is whatever you would like it to be -

Homunculus 03:10
- Homunculus Homun-cu-lus - Homunculus Floats in his jar Wondering Will he be born To see the world Beyond the glass He would escape With half a chance Homunculus With fifteen toes An alien But does he know Homunculus He's a prisoner In Roswell New Mexico - Homunculus Can hear The frequency Classic FM To his dismay He finds There is no way To switch it OFF -

Ancient people of the stars Left us clues In crafted stone Those of us who see Will journey on To worlds unknown Worlds unknown Worlds unknown Those of us who see Will journey on To worlds unknown - Homunculus Frozen in time In suspended animation Homunculus Floating for years In a cordial of cryonic lime Homunculus Is born at last Surrounded by broken glass Homunculus Has broken free Into the air He cannot breathe -
