Lonely sits the city
Now desolate,
Barren and empty!

We watch the fall
In silent apathy
Nothing’s real
Augmented reality

Walking sleep
Our lips are sutured
Our eyes stitched shut
To past and future

Self-serving
Apathy
Buried along
with our fantasies

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Silicon smiles
Hide mechanical gears
Oiled with blood
Spilled in fear

Enemies
Seek our demise
Choking us
With honeyed lies

Parasites
Have wormed their way in
They cause our fall
And mock our ruin

In the midst
of our distraction
ravening wolves
Have overtaken

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Lamentations (HoboCop & Cosmic Keanu)

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Lyrics & vocals : Janne Hennie

I thought it would be easy to love
That it would only be good
We have distance
We're close, we touch...
I hate you!
But I love you so much..

Chorus:
You can fall from a hill
You can fall from a mountain
But the hardest you ever fall
Is in love..

Chorus...

Lots of ups and downs
One moment we're high up
The next on the ground..
Oh, I have fallen so many times
But never as hard
As falling for you..

Chorus..

One moment we're yelling at each other
The next we're making love..
Oh Baby, don't stop telling me
That I am the one..

Chorus..

You make me laugh
You make me cry
Many times you make me wonder: why?
But I love you so much, Baby
I keep falling, and falling for you...

Chorus...

Falling W/ Janne Hennie

I Need love

His eyes crossed my eyes
Like a laser ray
I've been projected somewhere
Else than on the Earth
Help
I need love
Help
I need love
 
With him I feel like dancing
Barefoot in the light
I feel like walking on the sea
Planing in the air
Help
I need love
Help
I need love
 
Like the Earth needs the Sun
(I need love)
 
Like the stars need the stars
(I need love)
Like the sky needs the sea
(I need love)
Like the summer needs the winter
(I need love)
I need love (x7)
 
As i need music
As I need light
As i need water
As i need air
Just a little love
I need love
Just a little love
I need love
Like the bird needs wings to fly
(I need love)
Like the moon needs the night to shine
(I need love)
I need love

- History: 
1980s - Casio VL-tone, Wasp synth, Moog Concertmate MG-1, 2 track compact cassette recordings: tape to tape mixing ... emergence of Ding Dong. Revelled in the limitations in lo-fi sonic pallette and student budget...
1990s - Upgraded to 4-track compact cassette recordings... Casio CZ1000.
2000s - finally onto DAWs & xmachines & budget soft/hard synthesis & quirkiness in the Hikari Monos......Cakewalk>Sonar>Logic
