Two Moons

[Intro]
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Yeah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Let’s go

[Verse 1]
Dime, baby, tell me, is this what you fear?
(Dime, dime, ¿esto es lo que tú temes?)
I’m a new design, this is high-tech tier
You see a clown, a new kid, some cheap fakery
I'm the main event, I'm the code, the key
Got the vision, got the drive, yeah, I got the drive
Build it in the dark just to feel alive
So much data that, that I love it when
You hate my ambition, so I sin again
You don’t get what it’s like to break the code, to own the future
While the flight attendant gives me love up in the stratosphere
What it’s like to bet it all on a single play, no fear
That's why your cold gaze just hits me like zero
That’s why you’re stuck in the past, and me, I’m your new hero
They ain't scholars now, they're just podcasters, babe
My algorithm’s making more than their whole wage
Building and loving across a brand new stage, ey, ey

[Chorus]
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low
First came the old guard, then we stole the show
If the future saw me, it'd say I'm built to go
You’re talking old news, while my crew and I fly to Monaco
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low
You’re talking to yourself, just talking to the echo
The bitcoin symbol, babe, that’s my new zodiac sign
Light up the night, 'cause your old world is mine

[Interlude:]
Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans
Je caressais le temps, et jouais de la vie...
(Yesterday, I was twenty. I caressed time, and played with life...)

[Verse 2]
Believe me, love, the future’s faster in the flesh
Your cosy clique is pretty, but my world is fresh
What you believe in just don’t impress me now
It's like building a castle after the kings are underground
They don't even see you outside your ivory tower
Yesterday I linked with minds that hold the real power
They asked me how I’m changing up the whole game
We talk about the new world and re-writing every name
I say, the future, I say, the system, I say, our love story
For a minute now, your status quo has only bored me
A while ago I quit their game, I left it for the doddery clowns
Look, a memo to your diary
Today the server paid out, the future nominated me
Once again you criticized me, but your words ain't validating me
I'm still chill, in my zone
Don Corleone, Don anything I wanna own
For the kids we’ll have, I’ll leave a hundred start-up codes
To my queen, all the passion that my heart bestows
And to your hubris, an AI with a virus load

[Pre-Chorus]
For what? So they can fall down, yeah, so they can all shatter
Red pill, blue pill, babe, which one even matters?
For what? So they can fall down, so they can all shatter (all shatter)
Let 'em rest in history, I'm writin' the next chapter, yeah.

[Chorus]
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low! (No!)
First came the old guard, then we stole the show
If the future saw me, it'd say I'm built to go
You’re talking old news, while my crew and I fly to Monaco
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low
You’re talking to yourself, just talking to the echo
The bitcoin symbol, babe, that’s my new zodiac sign
Light up the night, 'cause your old world is mine

[Outro]
Comme on joue de l'amour, et je vivais la nuit
(As one plays with love, and I lived by night)
Sans compter sur mes jours, qui fuyaient dans le temps...
(Without counting my days, that fled in time...)

Sippin'

(Intro)
Uh
Yeah
The story of life, though
The story of life, though, you know?
Uh

(Chorus)
Put your fists to the constellations
This feeling inside is a dual sensation, uh
I know I'm speaking to the whole congregation
We pray for peace, but you done learned a lot from hatin', haha
I mean, a spirit did a lot of straining
We ain't at peace, but tonight I feel some changing.

(Verse 1)
Let me tell you the tale of the hands of man
A story of good and evil, you gotta understand.
The Left Hand, that's Hate, a heavy, bitter fist
The one that Cain used, a brother's love dismissed.
Static in the air, a world of pure spite
Always spoiling for a brawl in the pale moonlight.
Then you got the Right, the hand of pure Love
Five fingers reaching for the soul, sent from above.
But in this tragic hour, I've seen good people
Make rash decisions, oh, they do it.
What happened to vision? Oh, they lose it.
They putting on their anger, they casually abuse it.
Text message warfare, the casualty of pride
How they gon' wake up and not have love inside?
I thought Hate was the problem, I guess it's rubbin' off
Hood phenomenon, the David of the block.
Hard to stay righteous when you're fighting on a jumbotron
I'm looking at the world like, "This what you really wanted, huh?"
Why we battle anyway? Oh, I forgot, it's humankind's climb.

(Chorus)
Put your fists to the constellations
This feeling inside is a dual sensation, uh
I know I'm speaking to the whole congregation
We pray for peace, but you done learned a lot from hatin', haha
I mean, a spirit did a lot of straining
We ain't at peace, but tonight I feel some changing.

(Verse 2)
When the sun goes down, it's the tragic hour, the tragic hour
And outta all the feelings that'll fill up the soul
You got rage on your mind, I can see it take its toll.
Why you standing there with your face all screwed up?
Don't quit while you're losing, that's how Hate gets juiced up.
Throwin' fists around, the whole world screwed up
Maybe I should call the Lord, so he can pray for us.
I hit the streets to think, at the block, take a seat
Ordered up some peace, she said you are what you eat, haha.
You see, I always loved that sense of truth
But tonight, you should have seen how quiet the youth was.
The Ali of amity, the Frazier of the fight
It's a devastating right, and Hate is losing light.
Hate's on the ropes now, yeah, down for the count
Left hand, malice, K.O.'d, no doubt.
If I love you, I love you, that's the story's end
But if I hate you... well, we can still amend.

(Chorus)
Put your fists to the constellations
This feeling inside is a dual sensation, uh
I know I'm speaking to the whole congregation
We pray for peace, but you done learned a lot from hatin', haha
I mean, a spirit did a lot of straining
We ain't at peace, but tonight I feel some changing.

(Outro)
Lookin' at my Right, I bet it saves your very soul.
Lookin' at my Left, it'll turn your heart to stone.
Two-fisted monster, with a will of its own
Love wins the title, on a cherry-red throne.
Uh.
Peace.

Love vs Hate

[Verse1]
Saw you at the club today,

You’re looking fine, like you used to be,
Not trying to hit, just a bit of honesty.
Out of everyone here, (nobody better),
Out of everyone here, (ain’t nobody hotter).

Aye bartender—one drink for the baddest girl here,
Let’s get drunk like we used to,
Back when we were still together,
Back when we were still together.
(Back when we still together.)

You’re askin, “What you wanna do after?”
Telling me, “Shall we get outta here?”
Giving me previews,
Whispering things in my ear,
Sayin, “You’re the best ex ever…”

Bartender-another drink for the goddess over here
Baby weve been here before ohhh
Back when we were still together,
Back when we were still together.
(Back when we still together.)

[Pre-Chorus]
We both know this will be trouble,
But you’re breathing on my neck,
Whisperin, “Baby, I can do you better.”
You’re saying, “Let’s get outta here—I’ll show you
Why I’m the best ex ever.”

No one does it like me and you.
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh..
(Best ex ever..)

The Best Ex Ever (written by William Generoso)

[Intro]
(Ooh-yeah...)
(Suddenly...)

[Verse 1]
First time I saw you, you never looked my way
I was just standing there at the close of day
Thought you had a fire, a little mad in your eyes
But I was just coasting, under empty skies (Yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I was totally unaware
Didn't know I needed repair… 'til you were there

[Chorus]
You were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You made me happy
We took what we needed, yeah, a daylight robbery
And you were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You set my mind free
Never knew a love like this could happen suddenly

[Verse 2]
Then I caught you looking, just a passing glance
My world stopped turning, so I took a chance (Took a chance, now)
Didn't know that you were waiting for a way out too
Looking for a hand to pull you through the blue (Pull you through)

[Pre-Chorus]
And you were totally unaware
That I was right there, a silent prayer… for you, I swear

[Chorus]
You were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You made me happy
We took what we needed, yeah, a daylight robbery
And you were my therapy (My therapy!)
You set my mind free
Never knew a love like this could happen suddenly

[Bridge]
I took what wasn't mine…
You took what wasn't yours…
We crossed a new line
And we closed all the doors
We just clicked in an instance
No more resistance…

[Chorus]
You were my therapy! (Oh-oh-oh)
You made me happy! (So happy, yeah)
We took what we needed, yeah, a daylight robbery!
And you were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You set my mind free
Never knew a love like this could happen suddenly!

[Outro]
My therapy…
(Yeah, you made me happy)
Daylight robbery…
(Suddenly…)

My Therapy

[Intro]
They say you come to this city for the win, but I feel haunted...
Looking for the love that I thought my heart wanted...
I leave my phone by the bed, for a call, for a sign, for a reason...
Watching the whole city change with the season...

[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me I must be patient for the coming greatness...
But how can you be patient when they’re selling the nation?
They feed you the lies and hope that you’ll swallow...
Leaving our futures looking so hollow...

[Chorus]
Wake Up London, before the dark takes over!
They’re building walls and they’re closing the border!
Wake Up London, can’t you hear the sound?
Another snake in a suit wearing a crown!
Ya dun kno’, ya dun kno’!
They’ll sell your soul before you go!
Ya dun kno’, ya dun kno’!

[Verse 2]
You better keep your eyes wide, the fakers are lurkin’
Smiling on the telly while the whole system’s jerkin’
They tour the city selling us a mad disease
Painting false promises on the side of a bus with ease
We’ve got completely different agendas, no way they can mend this
Their dress code is power, my culture is endless
They whisper the poison and call it the cure
And we’re the lambs they will lead to the slaughter, for sure.

[Chorus]
Wake Up London, before the dark takes over!
They’re building walls and they’re closing the border!
Wake Up London, can’t you hear the sound?
Another snake in a suit wearing a crown!
Ya dun kno’, ya dun kno’!
They’ll sell your soul before you go!
Ya dun kno’, ya dun kno’!

[Bridge]
Thought that I could make a change but I was hurt all the same...
Deep down, only love is the game I was searching for...
They never used to pay the truth no attention!
Now they hate it when we start to ask the question!
This is our house, this is our city, this ain't just practice!
Don't let them burn it all down to ashes!

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Wake Up London, before the dark takes over!
They’re building walls and they’re closing the border!
Wake Up London, can’t you hear the sound?
Another snake in a suit wearing a crown!
...only love is what I'm searching for...

Wake Up London

This is a song about the BBC

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah...
Let's Dance.

[Verse 1]
(Let's dance) Just wear your red shoes and kill the blues
(Let's dance) To the pretty tune they play for you
Our editorial standard declares a world of perfect unity
While the broadcast beams a shade of perfect white

[Pre-Chorus]
They spin the story, thread by golden thread
To keep you safe and warm inside your head

[Chorus]
LET'S DANCE! Just close your tired eyes and move your shoes
LET'S DANCE! We fabricate the latest breaking news
LET'S DANCE! So you can live inside this fantasy
Don't you ever look too closely

[Verse 2]
(Let's dance) They built a beautiful palace on a distant, foreign shore
(Let's dance) Then sang a freedom anthem right outside the locked front door
The talking heads are chosen by the popular request
And how they speak, well darling, it’s a simple test

[Pre-Chorus]
They’ll sell you comfort, wrap it in a dream
To politely stamp out any rising steam

[Chorus]
LET'S DANCE! Just close your tired eyes and move your shoes
LET'S DANCE! We fabricate the latest breaking news
LET'S DANCE! So you can live inside this fantasy
Don't you ever look too closely

[Bridge]
White means polite...
Subject means quiet...
Our only job is to protect the status quo
And gently press down on a seed before it grows…

[Dance Break]
LET'S DANCE!
Yeah! Don't stop!
Don't look!
LET'S DANCE!

[Chorus]
LET'S DANCE! Just close your tired eyes and move your shoes! (MOVE YOUR SHOES!)
LET'S DANCE! We fabricate the latest breaking news! (IT’S NOT THE TRUTH!)
LET'S DANCE! So you can live inside this fantasy!
Don't you ever, ever, ever look too closely!

[Outro]
Let's Dance... Let's Dance... Let's Dance...
Take off your shoes... let's sway…
Red shoes... white lies…

Let's Dance

[Interviewer:]
So, before it all happened… you felt you had to be perfect?

[Ian Blackman:]
Perfect? Yeah. That was the deal. You had to be flawless just to be… tolerated. One little slip, and you prove them right.

[Verse 1]
Had to be flawless just to be accepted,
One tiny error, their whole theory perfected.
My white coworker could cruise and still feel fine,
But I had to break my body just to hold my own line.
Pushed myself harder, no room to be human,
No space for complaining, just keep on consuming
The pressure and silence, believing the dream,
Loved the work I was doing, the whole damn team.

[Chorus]
Am I just a ghost in the machine?
Writing code but I’m never truly seen.
Living life like a phantom on the screen,
Just a ghost in their perfect, cold machine.

[Verse 2]
Private work channel, some dark right-wing news,
I made gallows humour, lit a very short fuse.
Shared a picture of a Nazi with his hand in the sky,
Called it a Reform salute, a quick, bitter reply.
Woke up next morning, my private joke made global,
On some culture war station, completely ignoble.
Some talking head on the TV screaming I should be fired,
For mocking a fascist… the irony felt so tired.

[Bridge]

[Ian Blackman:]
They came for me. Racist DMs, slurs… people said it was what you get with a “diversity hire.” I just kept checking my work email… waiting for someone… anyone… to have my back. But there was just… silence.

[Chorus]
Am I just a ghost in the machine?
Writing code but I’m never truly seen.
Living life like a phantom on the screen,
Just a ghost in their perfect, cold machine.

The Interview (Part One)

[Interviewer:]
So instead of finding the leaker, the person who betrayed your trust… they investigated you?

[Ian Blackman:]
Yeah. Me. I was the one who damaged their reputation, apparently. They punished me. They didn't just slap my wrist… they made me disappear.

[Verse 1]
And the company I trusted stayed deathly quiet,
They refused to support me, instead they fed the riot.
HR scheduled a meeting to interrogate me,
Instead of real safety, they brought me to my knees.
The judgement they gave me wasn’t a memo they wrote,
They banned me from Slack groups, cut me right at the throat.
Just the essential work channels, all the culture disappeared,
Like they gagged my whole presence, confirming all that I’d feared.

[Chorus]
They cut the connection, they turned out the lights,
Locked me out of the chatter, the days and the nights.
Now I’m persona non grata, a name on a file,
They punished the victim, it’s always their style.

[Verse 2]
A few weeks went on, this new truth hit me hard,
Heard there was a team dinner, I wasn't on the card.
The invite was posted where I could never get through,
A friend asked why I missed it, I said, “I never knew.”
That small moment just crushed me, I’m not one to weep,
But I hid in the bathroom, the wound was too deep.
It wasn't about the free dinner or the corporate night,
But the proof I was banished, erased from their sight.

[Bridge]
[Interviewer:]
What did that feel like? To be there, but not there.

[Ian Blackman:]
Undead. I was undead. A ghost on the payroll. I’d see the posters for 'Inclusion Week' and just… laugh. What a joke. What does inclusion mean when you can be ostracised for a bad joke in private?

[Chorus]
They cut the connection, they turned out the lights,
Locked me out of the chatter, the days and the nights.
Now I’m persona non grata, a name on a file,
They punished the victim, it’s always their style.


The Interview (Part Two)

[Interviewer:]
So what happens now? When you can’t be human at work… where do you go?
Ian Blackman, You go out. You find a place where being a ghost is the point. You just… disappear into the noise.

[Verse 1]
They needed a ghost, so I gave them a phantom,
Show up, write the code, throw a quiet little tantrum.
But after I’m logged off, the true haunting begins,
Drowning out all their voices, absolving my sins.
In the strobe and the smoke, there’s no need to be perfect,
No one cares who you are, it’s a beautiful circus.
They wanted me silent, they wanted me gone,
So I found a new life from the dusk to the dawn.

[Chorus]
So I dance in the darkness, drink 'til I'm blind,
Anything just to leave this whole damn world behind!
The neon’s my sunlight, the bass is my pulse,
Living undead with no other results!

[Verse 2]
Found a new kind of channel, no password required,
Just a drink and a powder, gets my senses rewired.
These crowds on the dancefloor, they don't know my name,
Just another lost body in this beautiful game.
They can keep 'Inclusion Week,' with their posters and tags,
While I’m out here forgetting in smoke and torn bags.
This is my community, this is my sound,
The only real welcome that I’ve ever found.

[Outro]
[Ian Blackman:]
True inclusion… isn't a slogan… it’s… having your back… letting you be… human…

…human… hu-man… man… man…

[Outro 2]
Had to be flawless just to be accepted,
One tiny error, their whole theory perfected.
My white coworker could cruise and still feel fine,
But I had to break my body just to hold my own line.
Pushed myself harder, no room to be human,
No space for complaining, just keep on consuming
The pressure and silence, believing the dream,
Loved the work I was doing, the whole damn team.

[Chorus 2]
Am I just a ghost in the machine?
Writing code but I’m never truly seen.
Living life like a phantom on the screen,
Just a ghost in their perfect, cold machine.

The Interview (Part Three)

[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink 

[Chorus]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink

[Verse 2]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink

[Chorus]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink

[Post-Chorus]
And I only think about you
And I only think about you
And I only think about you
And I only think about you

[Verse 3]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink

[Chorus]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink

[Post-Chorus]
And I only think about you
And I only think about you
And I only think about you
And I only think about you

[Bridge]
This overthinking is through
This drink is the last one for you
Putting my high heels on now
Stepping out into the crowd
Gonna manifest my own light

I won't be a prisoner tonight

[Chorus]
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink
I only smoke when I drink
And I only drink when I overthink

[Post-Chorus]
And I only think about you
And I only think about you
And I only think about you
And I only think about you!

[Dance Break]
Tonight I'm dancing for me
For the person I'm gonna be
Got my focus, my own vision
Made a brand new decision

[Outro]
No more smoking, no more drinking
Just the future that I'm thinking
Best version, clear and bright
Stepping into my own light
Yeah, I'm stepping into the light
(Happy ending in my sight)
