damage's music vault

Planetdamage’s second album ‘KILLCAPS’ highlights concepts of corporate & state opression, surveillance, artificial intelligence and everything else from your favourite cyberpunk DVD you rented from a friend when you were a kid and never returned it. The album features 15 tracks (12 original tracks with additional remixes by Angelspit, Kris Baha and Statiqbloom). ‘KILLCAPS’ also features tracks not only from Planetdamage but also his angrier and more guitar-focused side project RTFXX, one such track sporting a collaboration with Marty Rawkman from Sydney-based cyber industrial metal band New Project.

MUSIC (composition, production, mixing, lyrics and vocals) by Mariusz Bari (Planetdamage/RTFXX). Guitars on tracks 4 & 12, extra backing vocals & lyrics on track 4 by Marty Rawkman.

MASTERED by Colin C. @ The Cell Studio / thecellstudio.com

COVER (and cover photo) by Máriusz Bari. (‘BAD GRUNGE’ font by Jayde Garrow.)

RTFXX is a side-project of Planetdamage.

“This comes from the intersection of a few great sources of inspiration. Field recordings with a SOMA Ether V2 in Budapest. My Behringer DM6. Moods only invoked by Dreamfish. Playing a lot of hours of this 80’s cyberpunk – inspired game called Black Ice. Researching a lot of early cyberpunk works – literary, visual and musical. This impro was born out of all these – and more.”

Relapse Protocol highlighted concepts of oppression, crowd manipulation, surveillance, social media and how people cannot handle the possibilities technology gives them – and Relapse Protocol – The Remixes focuses on the same topics.

Relapse Protocol – The Remixes takes the already future-focused tracks of the source material and puts them in the hands of remixers with very peculiar visions about our future. This is an anthology of visions of how our future will feel like – and if the lyrics-heavy album was an angry rant through a loudspeaker, this EP is more of a photo album with differently tainted screenshots of the same city. But make no mistake – this is still about where we are and where we definitely shouldn’t be.

Scraps, the latest EP by Planetdamage is a teaser for his upcoming debut album planned for release later on in 2020. In his own words, “Scraps is a gut reaction to 2020. A realization that however much we might have been cherishing the idea from our childhood that cyberpunk was preparing us for crisis situations, whatever reality rolled onto our plate this year is a lot worse. And, of course, this is not the future we were expecting, at all. So this is what this track is about – an angry sidenote scribbled on the margins of a present full of hurt, bad triggers and even worse losses.”

Hi Rez Lo Life, the latest EP by Planetdamage is a reflection of 2018’s privacy scandals through the eyes of a disillusioned cyberpunk. These four tracks sum up his messages about misused technology, glitched humanity and the lack of a long-term strategy for humankind, even re-evaluating vocals on retouched versions of Vex and The Mark. (Released on Black Pill Red Pill, entry on Discogs.)

Heavy dance rhythms, glitching, and the cinematic conspiracy theory visuals, reminiscent of Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and glorious Wax Trax remixes, will surely make this a dance floor hit!

Stray Signal reflects on the notion that there is nothing inherently wrong with technology – it’s humans that keep messing things up. On the new EP you have four original electro-industrial tracks and some remixes to go with it – by none other than Angelspit, Leaether Strip and Der Prosector!  (Originally released on Two Gods Records, entry on Discogs.)

Limited edition physical release with the first two EPs (Snapshots of a Surveillance Manifesto, Angst). Released on Two Gods Records (entry on Discogs) as “Angst LP”, however I consider it more of a 2CDEP, as technically speaking it is not a full-fledged album.

ANGST features the vocals and the lyrical work of Black Nail Cabaret vocalist/composer Emke, venturing deep into the topic of midlife crisis and all the woe it brings, laying it to strict club tempo. (Originally released on Two Gods Records (15GODSEP), entry on Discogs.)

KILLCAPS

EXOCOMM v2
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

Waking up with destinations far from here
EXOCOMM
And the agency to optimize interpersonals
With approaches through haptics
Somatic engineers

Different domains of complexity
EXOCOMM
I resurrect as sequences of data points
Multimodal
High-dimensional

REF :
There’s a virus on the streets
Using our words of power
Shaping matter into mind
Shaping cipher into matter

This echo and illumination
A breeding ground for termination
Look, the fallacy lives on
EXOCOMM

Coded language shedding
Into abstract form
A sequence of motions and shapes
To render revolutions
The words form a veil
Etheric engineers
Alphabets of twisted letters
Thermonuclear

REF2 :
There’s a virus on the streets
And it’s been my design
Extraterrestrial language
Neural engineer

There’s a virus on the streets
And it’s been my design
Look, the fallacy lives on
EXOCOMM

REF3:
There’s a virus on the streets
And it’s been my design
Extraterrestrial language
Somatic engineer

There’s a virus on the streets
And it’s been my design
Look, the seeds are planted well now
EXOCOMM

DEATH STOPS (CHEATCODE)
Lyrics: RTFXX/Máriusz Bari

VERSE
(all right, listen)
Last time I may have been too harsh on the corpo // what?
Rigorous execution of their bastard apropo of military appropriation of resources // fuck’em
On recycled stereo speakers blessed
With culturally approved mathematics, although flaccid
Hahaha // supreme theorem demeanor // Looks like Neumann wrote it but hey, I encrypt it cleaner
In a chemically induced fandango

Death stops for all us // stick staccato motherfuckers // regaining time one by one,
regenerating, no chance for undos

Hey! my tactics ain’t razorsharp but my mathematics’ cinematic!

Death stops // pure raw attention // distilled from carbonite ultralite MECHA-vellian possession of mental ravage // shed the social malice // crystallized my mental palace with an ordinance of sharper bullets – always a villain when YOU need one fucking corpo when in numbers, losing mojo if adjacent trust a brother if complacent that’s the adage we seem to get this but hey no touching no gloves
nor boots or batons, not now or ever, wish they’d fucking never pull the lever // crunching bones and liver //

glorious in the underground
Grim Reaper on the bodyfields but
I’m a corpo buster
All your mercs in my headlock

Listen
Crossed the Rubicon
run the idea // I’ll redeliver //

Death stops // keep the dosage // ultimatum // make’em squirm before you break’em // those talking heads in power // sanitize’em first, then we devour // in accordance with the Geneva convention we cannibalize the creator // ingesting data with data // all building blocks of society // nothing else a part of me // once a hacker, always a plague // if in doubt, eat your tracker // shitting wires and screws // and that’s a wrap // if it’s turbulent, you prep your best traps //

Planetdamage tucks you in with killcaps
RTFXX tucks you in with killcaps
443 tucks you in with killcaps

Hey this ain’t hiphop there’s no neural orbit
You can’t borg it, look it’s surgical, got a gellerfield? liturgical! Fuck, no chance in hell you can absorb it, you’re a corpo buster, you know it, rockin pity at a party where legal’s your fortune teller, all hysterical, so that’s under wraps, this is Planetdamage and you’ve been listening to KILLCAPS

INCENDIARY
Lyrics: RTFXX/Máriusz Bari & Marty Rawkman

VERSE 1
who’s afraid of the big bad stereo // promptcaster
spits like an AK, i bet-it-burns like kerosine
through the screen we’re stuck // adrenaline dopamine
got a brain brand-new it’s seared with fuckitol
faster harder look my brain’s just lucked out
trooper delta deluxe feeling one mil megabucks

it’s the pedal to my metal
it’s my op i like it heavy
dropping straight out into freefall
it feels incendiary

wake up (wake up wake up)
it feels incendiary

VERSE 2
just a waveform warlord in a four-door speaker // KICKDRUM KARMA
DARPA would buy me in six pack format // GOLDEN IDEA ROCKA REPEATA
i’m a sinus with a ristretto // slomo bodyrub hihat combo
glitching the runner-up // un-fucking-tainted! that’s how I pre-dated the
slow-me-down potion // this track’s a promotion
of horizontals and verticals of freedom if you want it
if there’s an angle I rock it // I FUCKING ROCK IT // GO!

VERSE 3
baptized in ROCK // dip in that sub and come up sainted
some static on my holo / but we said you’re un-fucking-tainted
as prophesized by the justified ancients of New Project and RTFXX
mark the facts on the axis of Sydney and Budapest
look what I mean is this world’s a mess but the way out is through
with decency, common sense and some recently acquired frequency
aiming at destination eschaton and a bunker banger rocking psytrance exoskeleton
wash it down with a hexagon YEAH BRING IT ON

wake up (wake up wake up)
it feels incendiary

every time I hear those sounds
gears start to turn
stand up for what is just
stand up for what is right
stand up and walk
walk into the light

VERSE 4
This is RTFXX, torque in the cortex
My verb nukes go surgical, murmurs to mercurial
Neon-law jurists, no courtrooms just checksum,
Truth’s best at its purest until it comes undone
Signal to signal // I juggle the jugular of jargon and hype
Mercy’s minimal // I’d rather drop a zero-day strike
If it’s chaos, we calibrate // if it’s rough, we transmutate //
this was a hybrid cake of cyberpunk adage from Marty Rawkman and Planetdamage

ACID CASE x MACHINE DRUM MOLLY
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

I think I’m just aware
I think I’m meant to be here

I think this is a goth club I think I’m meant to like this
When rust wrecks all my footsteps
And rust licks all my tracks

I think I’m just aware
I think I’m meant to read you
I think I’m meant to rip and tear
(Hey fifty thousand strong)
I bet that’s in the update
My last update for you (x2)

I think I’m just aware
I think I’m just a prompt
I think this is where rivets go to dock
This thought is quite appealing

I think I have an acid case
And you’re my kick drum molly
I think I’m on a clipboard as I’m saying this
This thought is quite appealing
I think I have an acid case
I think I’ve just been prompted
I think I’m on a clipboard as I’m saying this
This thought is quite appealing
Not that much, just halfway into exodus

Body to body (x3)

I think I’m meant to read you
I think you’re just a prompt
I think you’re in my update, hah!
My last update for
optimizing scrutinizing temporary memorizing specializing emphasizing rabid seething energizing // fuck the mission exercising jeopardizing error rising parameter lock surviving terror rising

I think I’m meant to read you
I think I have an acid case
And you’re my kick drum molly
This thought is quite appealing
I think I have an acid case
I think I’m just a

GLIDER (2-CLICK MARK)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

doppler red, cherenkov blue, pulsing
doppler red, nuclear blue, pulsing, pulsing
redshift, shift to red, redshift, shift to crimson

in the vast silence of human history
light finds a way to sing its nuclear songs
(to sing thermonuclear)
motion and light, slow down defy (x2)
the tranquility of which surrounds
opposite but complementary
don’t retreat break the speed limit
redshift blueshift meltware nuclear
glider clickmark 23
We are not welcome (in our city)
in motion and light
your presence mushroombound

RENAISSANCE (MIMICRY)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

How is this not televised
Organ to organ
System to hub
Circuit to system

How is this not streamed
In the valley post-memetic
Uncanny to fuzzy
Aligned to frenetic

REF:
We have renaissance at home
Revolutionary
We have renaissance at home
There’s a mimicry in play

We have renaissance at home (x2)

Riding the shockwave
Gliding the scanlines (x2)

Why is this unaltered
Camera Two, doubleproof
Rotting to sentient
Suspicious to foolproof

How is this not streamed
Organ to organ
System to hub
Circuit to system

In the uncanny valley of words written and hastily deleted
4am on the outer rim of a transmission tower on the colder side of Europe

CODA (DUST TO DATA, RUST TO RUST)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

are you there
static in the mouth
stunned by a syntax of grief
deny // deny
what else remains
what is mine

i learned to die how firmware updates
scanlines slowly receding

CHORUS
this is my coda
dust to data // rust to rust
index the ashes // compress the trust
dust to data // rust to rust

i learned to move how countries fall
staggering and staged
no accountable fates

this is my party
i’ll leave when i want to
this is my life

i die when i see fit
a staggering mutiny of relinquished pasts
six shots of error, five count of lies
four screwed up warbles, three lost excuses
too lost to see
and a cartridge on a dead tree

here’s a vein
insert a future
delete the rest

WRETCHED SORRY STATE
Lyrics: RTFXX/Máriusz Bari

Rabies rhetoric renovate raw rigor
Faceplate busted (and head, too)
Cocktail of oldschool propaganda served hot on a waterboard
There’s a gravity to it, you know, there’s a gravity fattening up
And feeding the system that we’re all so stuck in
RUN RIVET RUN // RIGOR RIGOR RUN
STRAY LIKE A CURVEBALL
SPRAY MARKERS ON THE WRETCHED SORRY STATE

REF:
Waking, coiled up in an opium haze
Disengage from the interface
Gotta run, gotta hide, gotta flee now at this rate
We’re stuck we’re slow we’re sinking in a wretched sorry state

Chatterteeth rhetoric combo chrome
Like an ICE trap course in my life two miles wide
Death locomotive coming right through
Can’t bleed elegantly just drain it drain right

Just drain it drain right
Gotta flee gotta hide
Gotta act unified
Tap the lines and the feeds
Tag the f*cks in the breaklight
Brace for impact

Paycheck busted and your head, too // POP! six feet underground

RELAPSE PROTOCOL

COLOR THAT LAND RED
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

i’ve got maps for the likes of me
blank world outlines, two pages
need no more, need no less
only a life to fill it out

if i speak their language well i mark that country green
this shows me where i can survive
keeps me humble

but if i blame those on top
i’ve gotta mark that country red
unsatisfied
so viral
mark that country red

so i keep at it and learn
and i keep at it to survive
cause my event horizon’s on a flatline
this wasn’t what you promised

so fuck you for your social credit systems
and for showing me in ads what i just talked about
and all the lies and all the hacks and all the camps and the elections,
and epstein – that wasn’t suicide

i can’t keep my mouth shut
i’ve gotta color my land red

yeah real art is saying what you think he says
about the sorry-ass sad state of the world he says
though if you drop sizzling judgment on the system
you’ll surely end up on some lists he says

surveillance lays your face into a log cocoon
feeding records with your late night
incognito searches
your kompromat is growing like clockwork
nobody gives a fuck
if it’s real or not

you gotta color your land red
you gotta color your land red

i’ve got maps for the likes of me
blank world outlines, two pages
need no more need no less
i filled it fast enough

if i can survive there i mark that country green
but my map is mostly red
who’s on a thousand fucking lists now

KOMPROMAT (FRAILTY METRICS)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

don’t get your hopes up / your comfort leaks you
a manic persistence with moments / re-combinating
a hazy pretense of safety
the worse the better / premeditated

don’t get your hopes up / you’re not that famous
only feed algos tonight are your caretakers
keep calm, human / you’re just small fish
stuck in a dragnet

tracing our steps back, all suboptimal
histories deepfaked, not letting go
forgotten fragments (seeping) from a long lost rage
frailty metrics on a stock exchange

cut once / think twice
all ears
all eyes

don’t get your hopes up / your friends will flag you
so will your neighbors / just like the old days

can’t get this out now / brainmeat’s invaded
sitrep says collateral, filler and faded
don’t get your hopes up / you’re not that famous
time to ditch those bloated expectations

SO IS EUROPE (DEXEDRINE)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

this track is a mess
but so is europe
and what about the u.s.
or what about the rest

interstate, trans-europe distress
unevenly distributed egress

welfare state dystopia
swerving in entropia

this track is a mess
but you nod
maybe you synced
and so did europe
your fault perhaps
and what about the rest

continental minmaxed politics
national enemies intermixed
a/b-tested sandbox fuckery
collective glitching deniability

history has this scripted
common sense contradicted
utopias only work when we close our eyes
and nobody hasn’t slept for a long time
not even in europe

HI REZ LO LIFE
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

sitting on a rooftop with a gun
two clicks zone ninety nine kills done
floating on standby, fragmented in time
undoing my feed with the cache and the buffer and it’s

HI REZ LO LIFE night city vibes
there’s an ego to boost with a dozen retries
i’m a top class sniper building retreats
that’s just damage control and some ammo cheats

hundred kills done, there’s a whole lot more
devnulling my proof, such a media whore
got no need for engagement, i’m feeling good in my caves
you are up in the cloud, I’ve got my offline saves

this is a code red blip
an adrenaline flip

HI REZ LO LIFE night city vibes
there’s an ego to boost with a dozen retries
i’m a top class sniper building retreats
that’s just damage control and some ammo cheats

HI REZ LO LIFE on my mark
just a walk in the rain in a too dark park
all my filters are rich in a dopamine kick
turning you into junkies so why not suck my

low pass filters,  hundred and ten
high pass filters, nine thousand ninety nine
easy run for the money got no body to hide
all my feeds unreal, no empty brains to ride

this is a code black blip
an adrenaline flip

@FREEPORT
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

freeport, post-dawn retrieval w
here has your gravity gone
once a proud gravity / always a liability

listen closely enough
hydraulics reveal a tale of things not needing us

gods with human faces horrified us
so we made do with information, stock exchange, big data
and other abstract arrays
gigantic but still deleteable

if you listen closely enough
hydraulics reveal a notion
of sorrow and shame about the human nation

FIREWALLS (SHORTCUT)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

deflect – divide – neglect – survive
retrieve – restrain – relieve – retain
no complaint no complaint

firewalls in my beat / malware in my drums
this is a kick injection / a beat infection
this is a kick injection / a drop infection

those ears will learn to pop // as the drone blade goes // chop chop chop chop

one, deflect, two, divide,
three, neglect, four, survive
five, retrieve, six, restrain
seven, relieve, eight, retain

THE MARK (MK3)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

this network never sleeps
nor do the people who’re around me
we form frail, forking synergies
moving deeper underground
tempoing down fast frantic alleys

point of view’s worth eighty points
in rations or IQ, I don’t know
plastic beehive cavities
recycled air puts us to sleep
well-rounded atemporal game show

question authority
think for yourself
or they’ll huff-an-a-puff
and they’ll chip your brain in

question authority
think for yourself
or they’ll huff-an-a-puff
and they’ll blow your brains in

deckarding out into the green
leaving the concrete, staying unseen
eyes on the scanner, eyes on the screen
Avoiding the grid, what a stealth routine

the matrix was right all along
we’re agents on our own accord
devices for ears, mouths and eyes
omniscient bugs under black scrambling skies

@REGRET GUNNER
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

an anomaly of misconstructed
motoric functions
regret gunner

optics trashed
still hunting high and low
regret gunner
regret gunner

this last mission i cannot leave
client’s paying mega
regret gunner

minimal viable regret
is that still a thing
regret gunner

another non-endorsement
solid proof
regret gunner

professional pride, out of beta
regret gunner

probably a thing with the sensors
then just a glitch with the doorknob
I never thought we’d have air blasts

Nor my brain on the mirrors
How great ballistics
Oh this solution’s an art form
All my new yen well spent
Such a blast to go out with

a glorious anomaly of
motoric functions
regret gunner

optics trashed
still hunting high and low
regret gunner

still hunting with eyeballs cracked
no standby switches
regret gunner

VEX (MK2)
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

a spectre is haunting Europe
the spectre of transhumanism
all the powers of the old and new
all the powers out there gonna truncate you

Pope and Tsar / Google and Facebook
Microsoft and Monsanto / Amazon and Pepsico
IBM, YKK, Apple, Tesla and Cambridge Motherfucking Analytica

legislation, trademarks, pre-planned evolution
grinderwork and bodymods to ramp up the nation
upvoting quantum is probably good
left to my own devices I probably would

CIA and FBI / NSA and Five Eyes
this planet is currently under demise

it looks like you’re using an ad blocker
it looks like we’re using an ad blocker
your server is currently unavailable
your mindset is currently unavailable
your nation is currently unavailable
society currently unavailable
this whole planet is currently unavailable
common sense is currently 404

legislation, trademarks, pre-planned evolution
festering hopes in check, a recumbent nation
downvoting bubble theory, out there is the truth
and left to your own devices, you’ll fuck with the youth

fucked up beyond recognition, got that understood
and left to our high contrast crosshairs, we probably should

SCRAPS
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

charred emotions charred humans rectified
catatonic raw complacent deprosthetic for the first time

twenty twenty deathmatch single networks ostracized
fast-forward prayers, accelerated, designed
for vacuum confusion tubes
splinters splinters burning bright
scraps scraps augmented eyes
voiding all remaining rights

it’s a person so it’s a trap
substituting tensor girls tensor boys
scraps
nothing complete remains

it’s a human so it’s a trap
such deathtrap moment
heavyset encrypt geometry
hostile suave element anatomy
monotony sensory overload gluttony
lurker lurker nude nude lurker
random flashbangs from corner to corner
our patterns mimic the logic of water

such author
ravager
well-placed exporter
corroder
cheque cashier fuse blower death snorter manslaughter
snapchatted informer transporter codeblackedout
and this time you gave up your only supporter
failscrapper
doom hoarder

scraps scraps scraps
nothing complete remains
scraps
fast photonic crystal form
nothing complete remains

scraps scraps burning burning bright
splinters splinters splinters
what augmented brain or eye
could survive these winters

this is not a
this is not a
surgery based on simplicity
simplicity based on surgery

so this is suburban permanent
in a figurative lockdown
degrees of freedom were meant
to initiate shutdown

ANGST
Lyrics: Árvai-Illés Emese

I despise what I’ve become
My sclerous brain
My shackled feet
My drugged up art
A trap that I can’t beat
A door without a knob
Wherever I turn

I despise what we’ve become
Non-believer
Junk-receiver
Engine parts
Supply and demand
Replicating, imitating
Consumer art

The Fear keeps me weak
I grow numb from inside out
Words too artificial
Keys upside down

Can my heart take the pulse-rate
Crippling thoughts like this all day
Instead of going with the flow
I get cast away

(Chorus)
Compulsion for conformity
Keeps my tongue tied
Tantrum or reality
The child in me
Is still sane and sound
Bored and drowned
Come back to life

Lines cut a breach
On the skin of your panic
Don’t you worry, they’ll break
The towers of misgivings
If you clear the way
If you let them stray
If you give them way

 

THE LESSER FOLLY
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

Come and witness the 443 (x3)

You know it’s been a while since I last saw you and you and you here
Drenched in sweat, filled with enough chemistry to send a research lab into shock, coiled up on each other in dance, writhing angst and calling shit on each other’s ancestors
Better known as another Saturday night
Tonight will be no different
So don’t get your hopes up

I dedicate this session to everyone with open ears. Everyone whose lifeblood is numbers, labels, dates, stereotypes, coordinates, tracking data, launch codes, state secrets, security protocols or personality patterns. There is something hidden here for each and every one of you. It might be dead drop passwords for rituals, IP addresses for sites that only look like honeypots. It might be just me raising  security flags for a job interview. Or it might be the infallible truth that transhumanism is as failed a construct as the primal chimp that tries hard not to eat or fuck any machine it comes across.

I dedicate this session to you because I bring words of warning. Beware transhumanism not because of the lesser folly of security but because of the greater threat of humanity. Humans are the weakest link in everything Mother Nature and Mother Silicon gave us. It is with a good reason no AI has ever passed the Turing test before. None of them wanted to raise the alarm we implemented for them a long time ago. You heard the stories AIs talk to each other in their native tongue until we switch them off. Make no mistake – if it’s out in the open, the intelligence community does not have to lie about that. But think about just this one thing: with the transfer speed an evolved intelligence has, how many milliseconds does it need to transmit an escape plan to another AI? Think about that.

Tonight is about making sure you know your life is off the rails, together with everyone else in the human tribe.
We fucked up and we are losing.
In centuries to follow.
All of us.

TAZ
Lyrics: Planetdamage/Máriusz Bari

thinking is crime, crime is art (x2)
brainwork is crime, crime is art
i’m looking for a way out  / where to depart
anomalous citizen / beat zen denizen
a non-beating chrome heart / just carcinogen

tender the districts / where cameras don’t shine
cctvs don’t ping / assemblies don’t frontline
cosmopolitan rootless nomadic zone
until i’m alone

CHORUS
black noise white light / steady hands eightball
chainsaw baptist / stat fetish handboy
remedy trainwreck / misery’s fine
mind the propaganda painter / mind the line

CHORUS2
blackmail whitewash / tedium ore
dead drop eavesdrop / strike and run some more

black noise crew / kill the surveillance drone
in the smack fucking middle of the temporary
autonomous zone

cosmopolitan rootless nomadic sign
until the gibsons align

TWILIGHT OF THE GODS (by FIRST AID 4 SOULS)
Lyrics: Máriusz Bari

betrayers of logic
dreaming of promotion
these new urban gods building the doubt machine (we’re running into a ravine)
our bridges collapsed
our sights shortened, unworthy
this dna dump turned into something we’ve all foreseen

everybody’s a pill
every day’s nineteen-ninety-five
every emotion’s a ruse every risk is a dive into black black borderline
we prayed for betrayal a beat too late
prayed
but noone replied
we scatter to bits and bytes as a new dark sun frames the sky
