MOVE
So you did your research
Now you’re confident
Since there’s plenty rumors
And grounds for dissent
These sophisticated
And mindful tricks
Well they got us hooked
We’re suckers for the kicks
We all dance to the algorithmic song
Our feckless leaders cheer us on
No one knows what’s right or wrong
‘Cause we all dance to the algorithmic song
You are not to blame here
You just have been played
We are all the trade-off
For the money made
But words were said then
And things were done
You say you’ve been joking
But it wasn’t fun
We all dance to the algorithmic song
Our feckless leaders cheer us on
No one knows what’s right or wrong
‘Cause we all dance to the algorithmic song
Stir the pot
Breed the mob
We all dance to the algorithmic song
We all dance to the ...
Stir the pot
Breed the mob

FEAST
You just fucking stay
Where is your shame?
Your remorse?
You have lost your right to be here now
This is mine
This is mine
Feast on my rage
Finally now
I won’t contain myself again
You come close to me
Don't you want to flee the scene?
But it’s me who leaves
I go and break and no one cares
Why does no one care?
Feast on my rage
Finally now
I won’t contain myself again
Feast on my rage
Finally now
I do not want to understand
I was all alone
In this all along
On my own
Everyone is scared
Well guess how scared I was
Feast on my rage
Finally now
I won’t contain myself again
Feast on my rage
Finally now
I do not want to understand
Feast on my rage
Feast on my rage
Choke on my rage

CASUAL EX
We both don’t feel like it’s right
With reasons all in plain sight
It’s obvious and clear
So obvious and clear
It hurts but we will be ok
I know it just sounds so cliché
But let’s just be friends
Please let’s just be friends
So what are we hoping for?
What do we think is in store?
What keeps us all in the game
When the outcome is always the same?
So what are we pushing for?
And isn’t it all just a bore?
We’re always on the look for something else
While we fail to change ourselves
We’re picking up on our flaws
To render it all a lost cause
Right from the start
Right from the start
So what is there left to say
Before we both walk away
Farewell and take care
Please just take care
So what are we hoping for?
What do we think is in store?
What keeps us all in the game
When the outcome is always the same?
So what are we pushing for?
And isn’t it all just a bore?
We’re always on the look for something else
While we fail to change ourselves
The things that we’re telling ourselves ...
(It’s easier said than done)
The things that we’re telling ourselves ...
(It’s easier said than done)
The things that we’re telling ourselves ...
(It’s easier said than done)

ENDLESSLY
It’s so noisy inside my flesh
Ice cold metal veins pierce through me
I am boiling, no break from the torture
Endless, endlessly
Floating away, losing ground
Only one thread holding me down
I step outside for a while
Outside myself to survive
I can taste the pain on my tongue
Waiting to be spoken
Standing proud
It wants out
But my jaw’s clenched shut
I feel like I’m not alive
I am being digested by my mind
If you knew you’d be surprised
‘Bout how I can walk through life
I can taste the pain on my tongue
Waiting to be spoken
Standing proud
It wants out
But my jaw’s clenched shut
I can taste the pain
I can taste the pain

SNOOZE MODE
I can’t bear the thought of leaving my bed
I can’t go out ‘cause this world is a drag
I’ll just stay inside as long as I please
Not every day is one that I want to seize
Your beliefs are so naive
Your fortitude is make believe
I don’t want the things I wanted back then
I don’t feel the way I felt way back when
I was not the man I am as of now
Life has cut me up like soil by the plow
Your beliefs are so naive
Your fortitude is make believe
Every day under the weather
Don’t tell me that I could do better
Feeling like a silent quitter
Well if I’ve quit why am I bitter?
I don’t think that there’s so much to achieve
Most of these high performers lie and deceive
It’s all just habitus that’s rife in those crowds
I’d much rather have my head in the clouds
Your beliefs are so naive
Your fortitude is make believe
Every day under the weather
Don’t tell me that I could do better
Feeling like a silent quitter
Well if I’ve quit why am I bitter?

CURIOUS
The moment I actually am
Listening
I can’t wait to ask
One more thing
There’s so much sky
In my life
It makes me breathe
As if I’m alright
I am up in the tree
Rustling with the leaves
I’m standing in the moonlit meadow
For hours
I can feel that I am here
Curious
This is what living might
Be like
There’s so much sky
In my life
It makes me breathe
As if I’m alright
I am up in the tree
Rustling with the leaves
I’m standing in the moonlit meadow
There’s so much sky
In my life
It makes me breathe
As if I’m alright
I am up in the tree
Rustling with the leaves
I’m standing in the moonlit meadow
For hours
And finally I feel as if I’m alive

ODD ONE OUT
Another brutal letdown to digest
Feeling so wound up and so distressed
Nobody can get through this without luck
‘Cause most of the time we all feel stuck
Honestly
I still feel like I am the odd one out
It’s all so overwhelming
Honestly
I wonder how I even got so far
Through darkness along the way
Some plans fulfilled while I’ve let others fade
I keep telling myself, that it’s part of the trade
I’m looking back at so much spent time
I’m counting down the days that I’ll last in my prime
Honestly
I still feel like I am the odd one out
It’s all so overwhelming
Honestly
I wonder how I even got so far
Through darkness along the way

THE REMINISCENT GLOW
You enter the room
I see you in the light
Waves wash over me
I drown without a fight
There’s flashbacks of what’s been
Everywhere I go
I can‘t seem to shake
The reminiscent glow
I turn and look the other way
For I can’t bear
Maybe someday
And we’ve carved out our spots
In places where we’d lay
I remember well
Wishing we could stay
Dialogues within
Just as if I’d talk to you
I can hear your words
And they still ring true
I turn and look the other way
For I can’t bear
Maybe someday
