AI it was starting to thrill us
AI now it’s coming to kill us
AI it’s only downhill for us
AI it will replace you
AI it’s taken our brainium
AI it’s bones are titanium
AI it’s more than insanium
Create your own demise
Digitize our cries
Break us down to size
We’ll wish we were not so wise

Synth from Above

It soars above you oh so fast
Next move you make will be your last
It knows right when your time has passed
Synth From Above
Running from it’s jagged path
It follows every psychopath
Don’t forget to do the math
Synth From Above
Strike ground, mark found, took down, unwound all of
The things you be-love.
Expound, rebound, spellbound struck by the likes of
Synth From Above
Whoa oh oh oh Synth From Above
Whoa oh oh oh Synth From Above!
It’s diving down in from the East
It’s like a damaged rabid beast
Your wretched soul will be a feast
Synth From Above
What’s overhead you stay aware
Can slice you down without a care
If you think your safe you best beware
Synth From Above!
Strike ground, mark found, took down, unwound all of
The things you be-love.
Expound, rebound, spellbound struck by the likes of
Synth From Above
Whoa oh oh oh Synth From Above
Whoa oh oh oh Synth From Above!

New Demons

One time I killed ‘em all
Now they’ve been resurrected
No longer heed the call
To live as expected
My thinking is unclear
New Demons been detected
They’re back to interfere
Though they’ve been rejected
We’re running far away
Forever
We live for yesterday
However
We’re carving our new way
Endeavor
To see the light of day
Ok bring it on!
I sink into the wall
I step on ground that’s splitting
I can’t obey the law
Dislike what is written
Get set to recreate
That lie that you been living
It’s time to suffocate those
Demons unforgiven

Let’s do it again, extinct the world
From the chaos we’ve been hurled
Society has failed again
The fabrics torn, hell we descend
I guess this is what we are
I guess this is what we are
Yea no we’ve not gone far
Upon this dip-shit star
It keeps happening, keeps caving in
And your sanity is wearing thin
You’ll grind all day before checking out
While all the people scream and shout
I guess this is what we are
I guess this is what we are
Yea no we’ve not gone far
Upon this dip-shit star - oh no!

Synth-punk 'til I'm Gone
02:42
|
|||
|
Stuck in a finite state machine
Still I could crash and burn
How can I be a sovereign being
I’m only worth what I earn
The way
When lines drawn
Is Synth-punk until I’m gone
No way
I’ll be your pawn
I’m Synth punk until I’m gone
Have to get mine someway somehow
Just to get by I yearn
Couldn’t comply I still can’t now
When will I ever learn
The way
When lines drawn
Is Synth punk until I’m gone
No way
I’ll be your pawn
I’m Synth punk until I’m gone
It’s driving in
It’s sinking in
It’s getting harder to win
Ashes at dawn
What hope could spawn
Synth punk until I’m gone!

Balance Broken
02:19
|

|
Is it even working
You really can’t tell
What your doin
What the hell
You never know what’s goin on
As if your senses are gone
Now you’re seeing double
Don’t know which
Could be trouble
Make your pick
Nothing is working
You can’t tune in
Balance Broken
You need fixing
You never know what’s goin on
As if your senses are gone
Your mind is floating in space
This life is punching your face

I was a Synth-Punk before you were a Synth-Punk, punk
I saw Numan in '89
I was a Synth-Punk before you were a Synth-Punk, punk
I seent Devo, Kraftwerk and everybody
I was a Synth-Punk before you were a Synth-Punk, punk
I had Punch Drunk, Obo., Klock and everything
I was a Synth-Punk before you were a Synth-Punk, punk
I was the mayor of South Street
I was a Synth-Punk before you were a Synth-Punk, punk
I had my hair up in the air!

No Reason

Why should I listen
Play by the rule
Take your direction
Or be your fool
I see no reason at all
Keeping me down
Shut me away
I go underground
Your game I wont play
I see no reason at all
I see no reason at all

I canceled everything I think and thought
Division is a thing the rulers want
Indecision is the way until I rot
If thinking for myself I’d rather not
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Deleted the attention that I paid
My opinion algorithmically made
And after everything, their strength’s a lot
Just automate my life, what choice I got
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…
Ruled by a Bot
It doesn’t matter I’m…

Planted Memories
02:50
|

|
You woke up to be
A machine I see
You recall planted memories
From the dark a face
You’re in the wrong place
Echos leave a trace
Do you hear them?
Calling you
Calling you
Calling you
They took you from the morgue
Turned you to a borg
Your old life is stored on a motherboard
Glitches of before
Now you yearn for more
Voices through the door
Do you her them?
Calling you
Calling you
Calling you
