Oh shit, I‘m in that mode again
Rejecting and shooting in all directions
I’m back in this battle I gotta win
I’m out of control, I need perfection
Again, it’s all my fault
I’m spitting fire all around
And if it means the end of the world
I am not backing off
A.S.A.P.
This time I’m in for real
I gotta get it right
Fix it - A.S.A.P.
There is no end in sight
I’m ready for the next fight
And rage is my middle name
I do not fear the pain
Meet me in the ring
I will use everything
To knock you out
What is it all about?
A.S.A.P.
This time I’m in for real
I gotta get it right
Fix it - A.S.A.P.

Bluffing

You can’t see nothing
You’re off the path
But you keep bluffing
And not, not to bad
Show me your hand! Show me your hand
I raise, I raise
Show me your hand! Show me your hand
I raise, I raise
Just keep bluffing, you got nothing
Just keep bluffing, you got nothing on me
I don’t believe you
You move so bold
I’d love to watch ya
Getting ripped off
Show me your hand! Show me your hand
I raise, I raise
Show me your hand! Show me your hand!
I raise, I raise
Just keep bluffing, you got nothing on me

A Normal Day
03:22
|
|

A thousand acres burned to ashes
Another cyclist knocked down by a truck
A hundred refugees drowned offshore
Racist slurs from higher office
Painkillers killing hundreds
Another major caught within a fraud
10.000 gallons leaked into the ocean
The next moon landing in slow motion
It’s a normal day, it’s a beautiful day
Three, two, one, we’re on air
Tell me a story
Show me what is out there
Fairytale or nightmare
Keep trending 24/7
Tell me a story
Show me what is out there
Fairytale or nightmare
Keep sending 24/7
Another species rotted out
Nne million budget for a single ad
The clock is ticking and the coal is burning
“Free them now or we’ll attack”
Shooting for a better nation
A peaceful protest beaten down
Climate goals for 2020
Million streams ain’t worth a penny
Tell me a story
Show me what is out there
Fairytale or nightmare
Keep trending 24/7
Tell me a story
Show me what is out there
Fairytale or nightmare
Keep sending 24/7
“Beware of the men, beware of the clan
Lock your children, stay inside, beware of the mad”
Tell me a story
Show me what is out there
Fairytale or nightmare
Keep trending 24/7
Tell me a story
Show me what is out there
Fairytale or nightmare
Keep sending 24/7

Oblivious
04:16
|
|

|
You preach to the choir, the keys are your tools
Repeating the lines of a few bitter fools
Feeding the flame in the feeds everyday
but they do not quench the thirst and the pain
the thirst and the pain
You feel like you’ve lost your voice long ago
But now you can finally express all your views in self-affirmation
The chamber that echoes the anger you post
Caught in the tunnel of one-sided thoughts
Whatever the matter, you know it better
You complain
You remain oblivious
You complain
You remain oblivious
And yet you blame
The world is on fire, your anger’s the fuel
Matched with alternative facts and fake news
Growing a network of disinformation
You’re not the victim you’re the offender
Posting one comment after another
Passive aggressive, that is your pattern
You complain, you remain oblivious
You complain, you remain oblivious
You complain, you remain oblivious
And yet you blame
Anyone but you
You complain
You complain, you remain oblivious
You complain, you remain oblivious
And yet you blame, you name anyone but you
You blame anyone but you
You name and remain oblivious
And yet you blame

Sorry
02:58

I don’t know where to start because there is so much
For you to be upset, for me to feel regret
I lied straight to your face, I did not mean to
But that is not the point, but that I hurt you
I really fucked it up, I wish I could have stopped
Time and time again I lose my head
I yell when I should listen, I did not see you
But that is no excuse - To hurt you
Drowning in remorse
I stabbed you with my words
Guess I never know when to stop
Abused and broke your trust
I have no clue how to move on
And all know, all I know is
I’m sorry
You’re more than I expected
I took you for granted, I’m so dumb
You’re so much more than I expected
I took you for granted, I won’t be that asshole anymore
Drowning in remorse
I stabbed you with my words
Guess I never know when to stop
Abused and broke your trust
I have no clue how to move on
And all know, all I know is
I’m sorry
I hope that in the end, I’ll get another chance
To make it right because you deserve the best

Ease My Mind
03:35

Take another bite, take another hit
Push yourself, do it now, I don’t want to deal with it
Please leave me alone, I’m not in the mood for this
I got plans, dig a hole, hide and close my eyes
I just want to feel okay, rest my head and fade away, just get through today
I need this now, must feel better
Ease my mind with whatever
Please don’t ever make it stop
Anything is good enough
Watch another clip, I just take what’s recommended
Swiping left or right doesn’t matter anymore
Every song I play sounds the same to me
Tell me when, when did I get to season three
I order the best barbeque, return a brand-new pair of shoes,
review the shop I never went to
I meet my friends, we drink for free
The world’s a wreck, we all agree
I’m so relieved, am I relieved?
I need this now, must feel better
Ease my mind with whatever
Please don’t ever make it stop
Anything is good enough
I pore and stuff and binge it all
I shop and trash with no control
Give me something, something else
Will I ever soothe my soul?

One Way

You think you can just turn the clocks back to seventy-three,
if you only stay long enough in your fascist fantasy
Awaiting the chance to roll out the tanks
Follow your leader into the past
One way you know
Backwards you go
One way you know
Backwards you go
In love with the past
Afraid of tomorrow
You’re missing the time when no questions were asked
Digging ditches in and outside your head
You live up to standards from back in the days
Nothing seems to be like it used to
The world has moved on but you haven’t changed
One way you know
Backwards you go
One way you know
Backwards you go
In love with the past
Afraid of tomorrow

Better Now

I got shot in the knee, broke my ankle a hundred times
Took a bait, got betrayed, sold myself for a bunch of lies
Had to crawl to my cave and accept I was out of line
Licked my wounds in the dark, my demons hold me tight
But I will get back on my feet
Shift into a higher gear, reclaim the street
And I will bring back all my dreams
Leave behind my broken self and make them real
Now I’m caught in remorse with no savings to get me by
Reached the end of the dream, got no friend to hear me cry
But I will get back on my feet
Shift into a higher gear, reclaim the street
And I will bring back all my dreams
Leave behind my broken self and make them real
But I will get back on my feet
Shift into a higher gear, reclaim the street
While the sun shines on the road I finally can forgive
All the people and myself ‘cause I’m not angry anymore

Hate
03:03

|

You’ve got your brothers and your news
You’ve got your pride you’ve got your truth
Patrol your streets to keep them safe
Made up your enemies, prepared yourself for judgement day
Like clouds soaked with hate you creep along the fields
Your anger drops like rain on the streets
You’ve got a banner to hold high
And wear a specious disguise
Reclaim your race, blood, and your ground
See what you want to see, you’re so 1933
Like clouds soaked with hate you creep along the fields
Your anger drops like rain on the streets
Locked up in your mental cage
All you do is spread your hate
Agitation is your weapon
Triggered by infinite rage
Like clouds soaked with hate you creep along the fields
Your anger drops like rain on the streets

Cancer Cell

My city has become somehow cold and overrun
It's not the first and last
District after district
The bells already toll the sound of redevelopment
The bulldozer is waiting, the plan’s already set
A neighbourhood, its history displaced by the best bet
No remorse, going for growth
Sucking up that final drop of wealth
Like a cancer cell
No remorse, going for growth
Sucking up that final drop of wealth
Spreading like a cancer cell
The same old streets, curfewed and policed
To keep the prices rising
The air keeps getting thinner for this community
They can’t afford to stay and they can’t afford to leave
No remorse, going for growth
Sucking up that final drop of wealth
Like a cancer cell
No remorse, going for growth
Sucking up that final drop of wealth
Spreading like a cancer cell

Surrender
04:04

I couldn’t breathe when I saw you the first time
For the rest of the night I could barely speak
Got your number, wrote five hundred messages
I sent one after nights without sleep
I knew that you wouldn’t remember me
I knew that you wouldn’t even care
But you did and I did
I want to surrender but I can’t let go
I want to surrender gonna leave me before I do
Gonna be another one I lose
I opened up and I knew that you‘d leave me
How can you like what is underneath?
I closed down and I knew you would run away
Like all the others who didn’t wanna stay
Either way you would hate me like I do
And leave me like I always knew
But you stayed and I will stay
I want to surrender but I can’t let go
I want to surrender gonna leave me before I do
Gonna be another one I lose

Your Rage feat. Suse
03:04

I walk home at 5 AM, nothing's there, I feel safe
She walks home at 5 AM, someone's there, she's not okay
My hand in her hand walking down the beach
Her hand in her hand, they kiss and get impeached
I got a job with average grades
They don't, it's in their name
What you feel, what you face
I have no idea about your rage
What you feel, how much you stand
I will never know how you live this way
l walk home at 5 AM, ID check, “please go on”
He walks by the same patrol, gets locked up for his looks
I disagree online, get comments and a meme
She disagrees online, it gets violent and obscene
They dared to claim their legit space
We are not the same
What you feel, what you face
I have no idea about your rage
What you feel, how much you stand
I will never know how you live this way
Justifying every single minute of the day
Who you want to be, that you want the same
I never had to do that, had to fight so hard
but I'll stand beside you, when you break all this apart
What you feel, what you face
I have no idea about your rage
What you feel, how much you stand
I will never know how you live this way
