I did't realize five years ago that this album was released. I've not seen Donnie Darko film, and I've not heard it's soundtrack, so I had no idea about this Tears for Fears cover existence. But I do have seen the spot of Gears of War (wow!).

All around me are familiar faces. Worn out places, worn out faces. Bright and early for the daily races going nowhere. Their tears are filling up their glasses. No expression. Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow. No tomorrow.

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take. When people run in circles it's a very very mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good. Happy Birthday. And I feel the way that every child should sit and listen. Went to school and I was very nervous. no one knew me. Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson, look right through me.
