[Verse 1]
We gather by the firelight, outsiders in the night
Haunted by the glow, we dance in morbid sight
This world isn't made for us
Creeps and broken seams, we're out here chasing dreams
Chasing what we'll never touch
Lonely souls united, the misfits won't be slighted
[Pre-chorus]
How long? How long?
Can we hold on?
How long? Oh, oh how long?
[Chorus]
When push comes to shove, 
you'll see who your real friends are

Push Comes to Shove [Extended Version]

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
