Probably music. Created using guitars, keyboard, software, hardware and also AI. Everything mashed together.

*** Lyrics ***
Wake up!

[Verse 1]
Wake up, it's morning, here's the circus on the screen
Same old faces, paint their masks so clean
Promises like broken glass, scattered in the street
We sweep it up and cut our feet, and call it "democracy"

[Pre-Chorus]
Tired eyes from counting lies
Every ballot box a coffin, every slogan's just disguise

[Chorus]
Fool me once, yeah, maybe that's on me
But you sold me hope, and turned it into grief
Fool me twice, the mask is off, the game is through
I won't bleed again, I see what's true

[Verse 2]
They say "choose your poison" but the venom tastes the same
Left or right, it's just the hands that sign your chains
Chew up revolution, spit out empty words
But I won't sing your anthem, won't be seen, won't be heard

[Pre-Chorus]
I watched you build your paper throne
But all your castles crumble when the lights are finally gone

[Chorus]
Fool me once, I took the fall
But now the writing's on the wall
Fool me twice, cover's blown, your colors show
I won't bleed for lies, I let you go

[Bridge]
No gods, no masters, no ballot in my hand
Freedom's not a question for you to understand
The system's just a shadow, a game you've rigged to win
So keep your empty choices
I won't play again

[Breakdown]
You can't buy my silence
You can't stop my rage
I'll tear your flags to pieces
Break out of your cage

[Chorus]
Fool me once, I'll wear the blame
But fool me twice, you'll feel the flame
Fool me once, I paid the cost
Fool me twice, now all is lost

[Bridge]
I don't want your leaders, I don't need your rules
You built this world for profit, turned us into fools
Take your power, choke on it, we're done being used
We owe you nothing
We're breaking out
We refuse!

[Outro]
Fool me once, but never again
You built your power on broken friends
We're done with your game, your time is through
Fool me twice - we're done with you

Shame on You

The Strange Case of...

I Miss the Misery

Who Really Cares: 

An album about Sex 
Or lack thereof 
And its consequences 
Or lack thereof
