the regular visitor is taking pieces of her, every day and night. an evil inside her mind, stealing her last memories but leaving mine. in the face of the quiet thief there’s nothing we could do to get him to leave. a photograph, can she recall a name a flickering smile, a shaking hand, a flame in an empty cave. into the darkest depths I fall out of the brightest lights I crawl let me remember the time, sharing some moments of delight. I may be here, or somewhere else the colors fade and turn to grey and would you stay by my side lighten my darkness I still feel the warmth of your hands, I know you're here. the thief behind your eye, who’s name is just another word, for a long goodbye. The lower tray, the early names still there an endless loop, a constant play, you stare, Let me catch your thoughts.

Get informed 04:34
Hey long time friend, are you ready for some news, better take a seat, this is science for free. If you don’t like what you hear and even dare to disagree you better get lost, back to the uninformed mass, where you keep on living your uninformed life, with your uninformed friends, uninformed families, don’t you see the end of the world is near? We are sowing the seeds of doubt, we are questioning everything, twisting the obvious, scientific evidence, we don’t give a shit, they will never compete with youtube university. Finally I found someone, shady characters to point my fingers at Life gets so much easier, dividing the world in good and bad get informed, and join the filter bubble club. We finally provide you with an explanation for the impossible. In times of chaos, longing for a pattern, while someone's pulling the strings from the top level. We are surrounded by enemies, hidden in the deep state, hidden in the deep state, we’re the only ones who see the storm is coming and we praise the lord for showing us his pink tie! Open up the gates, see them crawling out escaping from reality, with blooming fairy tales. With sadness in my eyes, finally I see, there might be no solution for conspiracy theories.

Filter 05:02
the morning view, a glimpse to my paradise Focus on me, in my illusory world yes I know, yeah I know I’m just like you, once had a boring life You could be me, in my illusory world yes I know, yeah I know, but what else should I do. You are great, now adorable, beautiful, so approachable. Tune my face, perfection is all I want Just make me real, in my illusory world yes I know, yeah I know Damn I look good, I'm painting my perfect life My endless smile, the mask is on Yes I know, yeah I know And I I’m modeling myself until I shine I fell in love with my online avatar. make me real, leave a like, follow me. facetune, X-Pro 2, slim challenge - tears of joy snapchat dysmorphia, hashtag - notreallyme It’s cheating time, let’s get those wrinkles gone resize my eyes, what a glamorous face! Yes I know, yeah I know Mirror Mirror, on the wall tell me Who’s the fairest of them all? Yes I know, yeah I know And I I’m modeling myself until I shine I fell in love with my online avatar. make me real, leave a like, follow me. At night, the demons hunting me i’m getting lost in the update loop, despite having a million friends, I'm all alone. throughout the day, the camera’s in my face no privacy , no feelings are for real ‘cause I’m a prostitute of this content war.

Alive 05:18
Symptoms of a modern world topics you’ve never heard before, experts are gathering and help is on its way. Keep your foot out of your mouth, watch your words, don’t fall out of the line, search for a hiding place, fear the people of the outraged. Fallen heroes one by one terrifying noises all around bombs exploding in your sight The flag is folded one last time. Tell me the last time you felt alive? Exhaling freedom from day to night Tell me the last time you felt complete? going on as if nobody cares. It’s just so easy and worth a try. Tell me the last time you felt alive? life’s too short to be wasted my friend Exhaling freedom from day to night close your eyes and look up to the sky Tell me the last time you felt complete? going on as if nobody cares. It’s just so easy and worth a try. we’re running the headline race hunting sensations all the time Raising the buzzword count When will it all be over? Impacts are getting closer now growing old, easier said than done, they maybe reminds us of, that we should cherish every day.

Connected 05:09
Weapons are laid down Smoking guns may rest a while on the battlefield, no troops are moving. The hungry guests look sad, sitting in your restaurant longing for their happy meal that won’t be served today. Pause the game! (telefon filter o. Chorus?) Stop the play! the pirates strike the sails treasure island has to wait the wind is gone, the waves are hiding. and the meerkats solved the case there’s a still life on my tv screen, their smiling faces turned to stone like statues in the rain. Far away, yet so near but we’re connected anyway I still feel you standing in your empty room. When all is quiet, the silence hurts although I can’t be by your side, I’m watching over you, watching over you. T-Rex lost his tail the missing piece, untraceable, ‘cause the rocket came from out of nowhere And the dwarfs upon the hill are wondering where the orcs have gone why marbles lost their gravity and the spaceship never lands.

I stared into these eyes that could only stare back Kept looking for the soul that somehow fell off the track I’ve searched a hundred places, maybe looking for you forcing dirty talks on the lookout for something new. I’m getting bored, skip the talk, or show me something I - have never felt before, the exit plan, initiate, i’ll move on and you - won’t see me anymore. pointless conversations and no moments to share a different kind of humor but in the end - I did not care i drove through the night, who is the next in the row swiping left and right, asked myself should I stay or should I go then came you, don’t skip the talk, you showed me everything I’ve never felt before, could it be true, the journey ends. After all those failures I finally met you. Welcome Home I have arrived Close the door This is where I want to be. Take my hand I’m feeling free You’ve tamed the beast inside me. Welcome home! I have arrived! I come undone, just take my hand. Welcome home! I have arrived! Close the door, this is where I want to be right now and you finally, tamed the beast inside me.

Choices 05:19
Every day that we’re alive we wither or we thrive depending on our choices. The steps we made, the things we’ve said the options we have seen are decisions we have taken. We’re facing choices day by day The game of life we have to play Doing the best we can. We try to choose the righteous way from time to time we go astray learning by our mistakes. If I could just be wiser, Would you love me the same way? If I could just be perfect, Would you love me anyway? Don't ever let life pass you by, just because it is too precious to just standby. Two roads ahead, can’t travel both, decisions have to be made, let’s take fate into - our own hands.

Pied pipers 04:36
The giant walls the dead-end road Where do we go from here Your expectations too hard to meet What is the deeper meaning? We’re reaching out for a helping hand Show us a way towards a higher ground. Illumination, so hard to find you opened up our mind. Reprogrammed we feel reborn we need to spread the word Pied pipers, collecting souls, Your clarity is reserved Watch and learn this is how we do it step by step listen and repeat. sit and watch hear the master speaking a simple truth in a different light. Watch and learn step by step a simple truth a different light Watch and learn Watch and learn

Blinding lights, the race is on, you’re seeking for attraction. The waiting line, the place to be You’re ready for selection. Lead me on Feed my greed The perfect look, each moment counts Eyes on every detail. The same encounters every night in a showroom of a fake world. now look at you! Destination hope distract me for a while with superficial talks pretending interest with a smile. another wasted night in a cabaret of disguise who do you want to be in the city of a 1000 lies? remaining souls,the final call you’re aching for salvation your boring life will hunt you down in a labyrinth of damnation.
