Put on your finest hazmat suit It's the radioactive age You’ve been long enough inside It's time you step out of your cage And that big blue sky-y-high Made like a tree and waved goodbye We don't see that sun no more It’s so perfect Now this is where I feel at home So nice and cool, so dark and cold Why don't you join me for a walk Out in the radioactive snow And that big blue sky-y-high Made like a tree and waved goodbye We don't see that sun no more It’s so perfect I’d die just to be there with you

Finally it seems as though this is how it all falls Hopelessly awaiting that you’ll answer my phone calls You said, why do you treat me so unkind I don’t know how to help myself So many questions on my mind and I don't wanna lose you so soon We always seem to fail to communicate what we’re feeling We use the same set of words but we don't apply the same meaning Ain't got a reason not to try I wanna learn how to understand Your indications pass me by And I don't want to lose you so soon We’re miscommunicating And when I call you’ll never be there We’re miscommunicating And every fucking time it just gets us nowhere Finally it seems as though this is how it all falls Hopelessly awaiting that you’ll answer my phone calls Why do you treat me so unkind I don’t know how to help myself So many questions on my mind And I don't wanna lose you so soon Don't wanna lose you at all

You’ve got everything I do You’ve got two eyes And you walk on two You’re the best match There could possIbly be Yet something unsettles me Cause when I look upon you I just want to scream Someday, someday, someday We’ll change Similar brains And social rules I suppose I, yeah I terrify you too We’re divided By a space so great But why shouldn't we cooperate Trying to build friendship Solidarity Someday, someday, someday We’ll change

Compulsory attraction, no chemistry These words I speak are they lies Dont ask me But do I even really want this I crave something real Despite my many attempts I’m cold as steel They say I want this But do I even really care They say I need it But the feels just are not there It ain't enough till is too much I need an unconditional crush An entire society Reaching for the highest shelf But could that just not be for me And can I admit that to myself You want me to want it so bad Such high demand It smells so sweet but the taste is so bland You said opposites attract but the oppositions real I forced myself into thinking that I want this But do I even really care They say I need it But the feels just are not there It ain't enough till is too much I need an unconditional crush Oh do I really have a thing for you Or do I lie and tell myself I do If I was allowed to make my choice again, Would i want you then Oh do I really have a thing for you Or do I lie and tell myself I do If I was allowed to make mistakes again, Would I want you then Compulsory attraction, no chemistry These words I speak are they lies? Don’t ask me ? ? ? say I want it The oppositions real La la la la la la ? carrot peel? They say I want this But do I even really care They say I need it But the feels just are not there It ain't enough till is too much I need an unconditional crush

Oh no, radio, radio silence Another day wasted I'm waiting for a voice For three weeks I got radio silence Heard nothing but white noise My mind is slowly decaying My sanity is fading away And nothing keeps me from staying out here I’m stuck Oh no Oh no, radio, radio silence Another week passes by Two weeks truth be told For three months I’ve been here stranded Oh god I feel so cold I’ve got these damned sensations A million bugs crawling on my skin It at least distracts me from my isolated state Let go Oh no, radio, radio silence I’m spinning, I’m floating, I’m flying I hear the bees and their laughs And their hahaha’s They’re assaulting all my sensory inputs oh No signals coming from beyond the hills No signals reaching for my radio I guess its final, I’m deserted here Ain’t got much time supplies are running low Oh no, radio, radio silence

Curled up in a ball She waits for me in the empty hall They all told me stay away from her But I wonder is that something she deserves Her eyes are pale as snow Mesmerizing me with their ice cold glow She’s a thousand winters cold Silently we walk Cause nobody taught her how to talk They say that's the way it's supposed to be But we all understand she craves some company Then something draws me in I get frostbite when I try to touch her skin She’s a thousand winters cold She’s so cold Frost running up my skin like lace I froze to death in her embrace She’s a thousand winters… I don't care if its my funeral Cause she’s just so downright beautiful She’s a thousand winters cold She’s so…

She packed her bags Went upstairs, fetched her car keys Fell down the stairs on her way back out She hit the gas Checked her mirrors Had to Get out, get out, get out, Get out, get out, get out, Get out, get out, get out fast She’s just another wasted soul They saw it in her eyes And when the tires skid off the hillside She damned the sun up high Sunlight city and its whitewashed walls Right up the highway Down by the coastline There lies the great middleclass paradise Think it’s perfection Living in glittering cages The great white facade and all its pretty lies Sunlight city Just sandy shores for miles But something there’s all twisted up inside Sunlight city The asphalt burns your feet Don’t try to leave they’ll eat you up alive Gonna turn that frown into a smile Gonna have a fun time at the beach Gonna have a fun time at the beach Without you In sunlight city and its whitewashed walls

Hey, you wanna go outside Hop on a bus for a little ride Cause I want out tonight Come on, catch the vibe Let's go see Kosmik Boogie Tribe They’re playing tonight Let's go out and lose control I need my fix of rock’n’roll And I want out tonight No good movies left to see And nothing decent on tv I want out tonight Cause I want it now (I want it now) I want it right now Last night at Café Mono I felt it in my soul When Morten Mormone lit the place Aflame with rock’n’roll Last night at Café Mono It felt so loud at first With every single kick drum (honey) I could feel my eardrums burst Last night at Café Mono That mighty wall of sound It shattered all the glass And it knocked everybody down Cause I want it now (I want it now) I want it right now

Cause I'm a natural born failure Got ambitions of success I look into the mirror cause I know I’m a mess Cause I’m a natural born failure Got ambitions of success Afraid I might succeed I’m a natural born killer With a medical degree I do anything as long as it pleases me I’m a natural born killer With a medical degree Afraid I might succeed

I’m half awake I'm on my way How longs this trip gonna take Particles of light Crystallizing on my eyes All through the night All those lightposts flashing by Like lasers in an old sci-fi Pew, pew I'm half awake I'm on my way How longs this trip gonna take Particles of light Crystallizing on my eyes All through the night Daddy hit a deer, oh fuck It seems to me like we are stuck Set for freeway Set for fast lane Moon-blue-highway-view

Greenpath 02:31
Don’t you talk like that What is stopping you from going However far away To never speak again-hm-hm-hm Gain no reason Leave no common sense I’ll take the green path Take it every summer night It’s what i've got left with you beyond, outside And I’ll be your raincoat If that makes you feel alright But nothing is Look at what you’ve done You finally put me in the backseat When it’s breaking off Evacuation no consensus Have you got someone else to prey upon I’ll take the green path Take it every summer night It’s what i've got left with you beyond, outside And i’ll be your raincoat If that makes you feel alright But nothing is I tell you Nothing is alright

Neutron Star 06:31
We digitalized the human mind We left our mortal selves behind But I wonder if I really am the same Or just a copy of what was my brain but yeah There’s really not much left outside But black holes many lightyears wide So we encase ourselves in distant memories Of a sky with stars and fields with apple trees Simulated sight and sound Trying to distract us from the fact we’re Orbiting around a dying neutron star But as it’s burning out Let’s see the real world one last time What do you say you come with me And leave this dying fantasy Isolation in community As if there were immunity A virtual existence through glass eyes No wonder many chose to end their lives But yeah we tried to escape our death in fear Abusing every atmosphere Mechanical humanity will part As we gather round the final neutron star Simulated sight and sound Trying to distract us from the fact we’re Orbiting around a dying neutron star But as it’s burning out Won’t you see the real world one last time With me There’s one last thing I’d like to do I’d like to swim the astral sea with you And we’ll plunge ourselves into a black hole.
