Attention sucker slotmachine
Public speakers and politicians
Expert invite pop musicians
Get yaself heard be the boss.
Fuckers vote al nuance lost.
Algorythm controll the masses
React to react who's the fastest
In echochambers of own opinion
Fact get lost in superstition
Social timeline i pay attention
Pull the arm of my own deception
Small and powerful and runs in bits
In a ratrace for the most hits
Like a siren that i row by
On the couch so superfly
Can't even watch a flick no more
Or read a book waste brain I'm sure
Stop callin stop callin you got me watchin' the screen
Attention sucker slotmachine
Wait for me Wait for me give me reward when i see
All this bullshit that you infect me
Attention sucker
Attention sucker
Attention sucker
Wireless mobile cool devices
Get ya hooked up advertises
Weapons fucked up mass destruction
Gettin hacked by social suction
Overrun by senseless info
Filter bubble controls the tempo
Start up company booming business
Where's my privacy what is this
Dopamine for likes on screen
Makes your thumb cramp up real mean
In exchange for useful time
Get connected plug in a line
In the morning and in the evening
Fruit machine in pocket screaming
Hostage holdin silicon
Are we a product
it feels wrong
Stop callin stop callin you got me watchin' the screen
Attention sucker slotmachine
Wait for me Wait for me give me reward when i see
All this bullshit that you infect me
Attention sucker
Attention sucker
Attention sucker

Embrace the fear
You can present every fart as the biggest fart,
and gain likes.
And then pretend be a part
of the slickest art
and pain spikes
In a whole in a context meaning is relevant
Spin a role is it extreme
it's ever sent
In an ongoing' culture of quantity
Now I demand little portions of quality
Though shall expand not the riddle
for sake of humanity
Find the rhyme next door in a state of tranquility
Open your ears
Open your ears
Open your ears and hear, my dear
You light up when you
You light up when you
You light up when you
Embrace the fear
In my frontlawn grows a new kinda weed
Where first was void indeed it's paranoïd
Fundamentalists, conspiracists, fantasizing bout terrorists
Open your ears
Open your ears
Open your ears and hear, my dear
You light up when you
You light up when you
You light up when you
Embrace the fear.
Exploitation by kapitalists
Copy paste mentality
Scriptscientists obscurin’ reality
The recipe ain't the meal and the spinning ain't the wheel
Know yourself before it gets real
Open your ears
Open your ears
Open your ears and hear, my dear
You light up when you
You light up when you
You light up when you
Embrace the fear

Upon the surface

Up on the surface
Down in the dirt
and down in the dirt
and down in the dirt get down
It's getting dark
and send a spark
cause life is bout to sound
Bringin' it up and
pulling it up like a
corpse from a drown
Wrangle it up then tangle it up
build thornes to crown
I am not from this. I'm from a far, distant breeding star
I am not from this. I was stored.
Screwed open and outpoured.
Wa,wa,wa,wa,
wa,wa,wa,wa,
wa, wa, wa
Wait for pain
Out of the rain is the insane pioneer of the game
It's where you always have been on the look
for a kick out of brain
Universe callin' up sick
but sane singin'
mad refrain
I am not from this. I'm from a far, distant breeding star
I am not from this. I was stored.
Screwed open and outpoured.
Up on a surface going up on a surface.
Down so low, never seen light glow.
Up on a surface going up on a surface
I
Grow so slow, grow so slow
Down in the dirt
and down in the dirt
and down in the dirt
get down
It's getting dark
and send a spark
cause life is bout to sound
The art of the craft is coming
cold like a draft
of a whisper in your neck
The chills come back
, the chills come back
, the chills come back
I am not from this. I'm from a far, distant breeding star
I am not from this. I was stored
Screwed open and outpoured
Down in the dirt
and down in the dirt
and down in the dirt
get down
It's getting dark
and send a spark
cause life is bout to sound
The art of the craft is coming
cold like a draft
of a whisper in your neck
The chills come back,
the chills come back
, the chills come back
I am not from this. I'm from a far, distant breeding star
I am not from this. I was stored.
Screwed open and outpoured.
Up on a surface going up on a surface.
Down so low, never seen light glow.
Up on a surface going up on a surface
I
Grow so slow, grow so slow

Mindlost
Too much information is comin at me
I guess i'm addicted you see
The news, the blogs, the social stuff it's really something
Three screens at a time it ain't nothing
What the fuck am i doin' i'm about to
ruin my life never talk to my wife
Is it choice or is it modern
environment
No man i ain't buying it
When i'm waitin 5 minutes gettin restless
Feelin' in my pocket where my phone is
Does it do me good or bad man neither
Today you're a leecher and you're a seeder
We're all hooked up to system we invented
And when it's time It's gonna end itself
Replacin all books on a shelf
Robbin us all from our mental health
You have lost your mind
and now you wanna go and check it
You think you can find
But this ain't what you expected
All this kids live in a world
Made out of bits and bytes man
you're just like packman
Gettin down through this maze
And when you see a hype your mind hit's a daze
You've organized yourself and stepped into reality
Rub your eyes and you see
This ain't what you expected there's all police and uniforms in the streets And
where's the party
You're breakin it up man you think you can start this now
You oughtta go home but you don't know how
You're gettin beat up and your friends say wow
This is the energy we must feel
Let's get a rock and a piece of steel
Rob the store and inflict some pain
On the innocent man's domain
You have lost your mind
and now you wanna go and check it
You think you can find
But this ain't what you expected
You have lost your mind
and now you wanna go and check it
You think you can find
But this ain't what you expected
Why have you lost your mind so much
Is it a lack of a human touch
The virtual is your field of consiousness
But it's not real adventurous
You have lost your mind
and now you wanna go and check it
You think you can find
But this ain't what you expected
You have lost your mind
and now you wanna go and check it
You think you can find
But this ain't what you expected

Strong
A person in need
too long brakin' for speed
Imprisoned by self
and not takin' the lead
Everytime he skip the wax
no reimburse on emo tax
Reciprocity animosity
Two sides to the coin of enemy
Under skin there's agitation
Never seen the inflammation
You think you know me
but I fake what I be
Avoid what's coming,
ignore what's me
Specialized in makin peace
, moralize makin disease
Judge the mental are you just mental
Keep my shit in experimental
All the time fed up myself
Cramp my heart and destroy myself
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
Please o please, O please, o please, o please just lose this shit
I'm not built for it
Please o please, O please, o please, o please just lose this shit
I'm not built for it
Walking on eggshells
Waiting for bombshells
I weigh my words
but I chose for this hell
What's the real alternative
Fight the fight or learn to give
Please forgive me the times I'm jokin'
When I speak these words provokin
Look at my behaviour as criminal
Even though my act is minimal
Naggin on my head
Doubt what i said
Leave no space
limitate till I'm dead
Physical removed from strain
Typical I can't explain
Leave the room when speak the spoken
Come back glooming feels like chokin'
Eye contact reduced to a minimum
I grab my chest dosed up adrenaline
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
Please o please, O please, o please, o please just lose this shit
I'm not built for it
Please o please, O please, o please, o please just lose this shit
I'm not built for it
Naggin on my head
Doubt what i said
Leave no space
limitate till I'm dead
Physical removed from strain
Typical I can't explain
Leave the room when speak the spoken
Come back glooming feels like chokin'
Eye contact reduced to a minimum
I grab my chest dosed up adrenaline
The last escape is to de-escalate.
But that's the trick it won't fly straight.
Specialized in making peace
Organize me on my knees
So now the final chapter soon
One more word then pop the balloon
I try to contain but can't remain
The anger 's out iv'e gone insane
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
I wanna be so strong
Please o please, O please, o please, o please just lose this shit
I'm not built for it
Please o please, O please, o please, o please just lose this shit
I'm not built for it

Bleed out
You talk shit
and think something follow
But your text and your tweets sound hollow
In real life, you couldn't be that bad
You get your ass whipped faster than your dad, did when he found out his son was insane!
And now your staring at your screen with a migraine
Ignored by me, I can't react to
All this molecules of air coming from you
Did I tell you, your shit sounds funny
You couldn't catch bees, even of you were honey
I let you bleed out
I let you bleed out
Go check your head out
I let you bleed out
And now you say this
But you do that
Can you imagine what it feels if you rat out
Go check your head out
I flip a spread out
And let my flow rip a thread
Let you bleed out
I let you bleed out
I let you bleed out
Go check your head out
I let you bleed out

SuperHero
Out of the cave I come when I hear screamin
g
Never alone I got a fist full of demons
And
out of a universe unknown I roam
Kickin my suit of, when I come home
I sense distress got my veins all swollen
Heart is pumpin got my ride out rollin'
On the scene I make an interpretation
Smackin heads in without hesitation
In my belt I got a whole bag of tricks
and when I'm done I put my tag on the bricks
Walls come down when this dude comes around
After this you taste dust on the ground.
Superhero!
Superhero!
This tight suit shows muscle
On the street is where I play my own hustle.
Number one number two number three and I'm dressed up
First you saw nothing then you're all messed up
Like that! My eyes infrared and when I'm locked on target.
You can forget
you're future
All them doctors can't suture
Speed dial killer nr one and you can't stitch
I'm done with you bitches I switch
Oh yeah
Blend in again and I'm gone
Hop on a bus till the next one
come's along
Superhero!
Superhero!
I can be your superhero
This game I'm in charge
Fly to the next level
where I'm' gonna barge
I
nto your hide-out I have seen through
Step in my vehicle than you see who.
Oh yeah my exhaust is burning red
Step on the gas yeah you bet
I'm home yet
Sittin' down have a cappuccino
Put on my socks from a nice quality merino
Speed dial killer nr 1 and you can't stitch. I'm done with you bitches I switch
O yeah blend in again and I'm gone
Hop on a bus till the next one comes along
Comes along…..come along.. I come along !!
Superhero!
Superhero!
