Folded Paper
03:18

Crossing time and space, with everybody involved
In this timecode, before this world explodes
I try to fold it down as quick as I can
So the edges match the wormhole
And fast forward instead of rewinding, moving forward blindfolded
I’d rather reach point B relentlessly over seeing myself fading out slowly
Black lives matter, making some white noise
Femen matters getting choked in the media
A million animals killed everyday, supposedly in a humane way ?!
If my whole life was a piece of paper
I’d hold it down like I was holding dark matter
It doesn’t matter, you’re not getting any better

Forevermore
03:26

Hold your breath, you’ll need some more
another wasted hope, forevermore
Looking forward to nothing more
Another fight like all the ones before
No real change no real evolution
96 to 2020 but cosmetic disillusion
More connected than ever
another step towards disconnected endeavour
I try to rise my head, above the clouds, above the dead
Dead inside, I will deny while holding my head
But nevermind, I’ll keep pretending everything’s allright
The sharpness of my senses
Is the essence of deep surrender
Filters engaged to get a better render,
Then I just close the door forevermore
I never told anyone but I’m afraid of confrontation
I try to replicate my peers but most of the time
I don’t even know how to start a simple conversation
Along the years, I became pretty good at pretending
Acting became systematic, but it takes it’s toll on my mind
Then I need to close the door and put myself on hold
Recharge my social batteries before I can even cope
with my own household
Along the years this process has been on repeat
Over and over
Forevermore
I just want to be part of the equation
I just want to be part of the equation
I just wanted to be part of the equatio

I’m sick of people saying “I’m no racist but…”
I’m sick of western european far right groups rising up
I’m sick of people who are offended by animal cruelty
yet consuming meat, eggs and dairy
I’m sick of this government I did not vote for
Supporting corporations up to no good offshore
I’m sick of thinking on this planet we human kind
Came in without any fair coexistence figured out
Don’t get me wrong kid, brainwashed, we all were from scratch
But this is freedom, freedom like a bird, a dozen in a crate..
Demanding destitution of global institutional insanity
My mind is all congested trying to protect me from myself
Like an amplifier clipping at peak
CONSTRICTED I AM
Against this fucked up institution
CONSTRICTED I FEEL
Within this neverending nightmare
Don’t get me wrong kid, brainwashed, we all were from scratch
But this is freedom, freedom like a bird, a dozen in a crate..
Demanding destitution of global institutional insanity
My mind is all congested trying to protect me from myself
Like an amplifier clipping at peak

Not your fellow, not your equal
Not your double, not your half
Not your underside, not your flip side
Not your shadow, nor your reflection
I am your difference
Don’t want none of your fights
Don’t wanna play the little soldier
in this march
None of your codes, none of your rules
I am your difference
Not your possessor or dominator
Not your conqueror or destroyer
I don’t want your power
I don’t give a shit about your glory
I am your difference
I’ll never be yours if I’m not myself
I’m not the one you think I am
Don’t kill me embrace me
I am your difference
WE TRACE A CIRCLE AROUND OURSELVES
WE TRACE A CIRCLE AROUND OURSELVES
WE TRACE A CIRCLE AROUND OURSELVES
WE TRACE A CIRCLE
Every step I made in this direction
Every friend I left along the way
I’ll never change a thing for what it takes
Burning bridges and building walls
Dude that’s what I told you
These shitty lyrics I wrote start in “I”
And unfortunately end up in a “WE”
I gotta plead guilty, if I’m not mistaken
Not your friend, not your recall
Not your trouble, not your calf
Not your plan B, nor your plan C
See you can’t see me in your reflection
I am your difference
Don’t want none of your fights
Don’t wanna play the little soldier
in this march
None of your codes, none of your rules
I am your difference
Not your possessor or dominator
Not your conqueror or self destroyer
I don’t want your power
I don’t give a shit about your glory
I am your difference

Hey friends it’s time to celebrate
I think we’re half way there
One foot closer the grave
The devil’s got our souls in mortgage
5 minutes to midnight
Don’t you worry big blue is also down for the ride
So let’s just singalong
And hope for better days on the other side
Within this crazy thread
I just can’t follow
Over my head
I just keep boiling
Seriously fucked up
I must recon
Gripping my pillow tight
This gotta be sorrow
Another heavy hit
I try to dodge
I’m pleading guilty just
To overcome
Another crazy situation
I’m so done
With your bullshit excuses
So much wrong ––
Writing the very first verse a couple weeks ago
I must’ve been going through a positive window
Just like everyone I wanted to believe but
Faith in humanity I’ve lost for many years ago
Please get me notified, when it’s time to leave
I don’t fancy crawling longer in my disbelief
Will you shut the lights if you’re the last to go
Cause we don’t wanna leave a bad reputation after all
Within this crazy thread
I just can’t follow
Over my head
I just keep boiling
Seriously fucked up
I must recon
Gripping my pillow tight
This gotta be sorrow
Another heavy hit
I try to dodge
I’m pleading guilty just
To overcome
Another crazy situation
I’m so done
With your bullshit excuses
So much wrong ––
Like the messiah I’m here with a message for y’all (Please get me notified)
Like the messiah I’m here with a message for y’all (Please get me notified)

December

Another year goes by, another extra 60.000 on the reader
Driving by myself from store to store
A sales rep smile on my face, a cold heart and mind…
Arriving in December, Christmas lights and fake happiness rolling down my feed
I wish that all these stupid wishes were sincere
I wish that I could skip this fake show and head straight towards next year.
I’m sorry but I just can’t help myself, I think
that the last month of the year, feels like the first day of a work week
I’m on the edge, I wanna scream but ain’t nothing coming out
Another day goes by, another extra 60 drowning in the Middle sea
Joining other million broken dreams
A livid child’s face, a cold and beatless heart…
Lying face-down…
You’re just disgusting, Inhumane, uncompassionate

This fucked up confined world
This fucked up confined world
Suits me so perfectly
Empty streets might just reveal the antisocial me
Don’t misunderstand me the death toll is still at the center of my worries
Are you fucking kidding me,
you needed to take goddamn fuckin action
I demand a state of grace, where greys are common and not the race
Brace yourself in this selfish race, because waste is what will be our last human trace
I demand a state of grâce
Brace yourself
C O V I D 19 is
Revealing the worst of you..
This is just a warning, a signal
The planet is better off without us
We gotta learn from our mistakes
Stop consuming animals
overconsuming the planet,
We are the virus and the C19
the vaccine
I demand a state of grace, where greys are common and not the race
Brace yourself in this selfish race, because waste is what will be our last human trace

We’ve gone too far, within this new world order, the point of no return is right behind us
Our lives invaded by screens that screen our lives
A loose credit environment for the losers we are, controlled by a government that lost control
The more you get the more you pay and tighten up your own chains
As modern slaves, we embrace our electronic bracelets, for the biased feeling of freedom they give us, so be it at every single purchase
Chasing a better life, hoping for a better future, staring at the light that will never get any closer
We’re walking dead
With our chains of freedom **
And a snapped key in the lock
We’re walking dead
Living by proxy, Augmented reality

The floor started slipping under my feet
The day I saw you leaving but committed no deed
The fake smile I came up with, flowers and neverending tears
Summer twenty twelve, good vibes, rocking your stroller
Lit up by a shiny sunlight, gone
with a thousand colored balloons in the sky
A thousand, colors in the sky
A thousand, colors in the sky
Anger
Ocean,
Kept
Inside
