Rise

[Verse]
My head is aching, heavy from the night,
Shoes tied too tight, holding on right,
Wake at midnight, with feelings torn,
Cramps in my calf, the tension worn,
Dreams fleeting fast, shadows collide,
Secrets untold, whispering inside.

[Chorus]
You have to stretch out,
No matter how it hurts,
Stretch out, no matter how it hurts,
Never stop, never pause

[Verse]
When the current fades, silence anew,
The vibration lost, a disconnected view,
Words left unspoken, echoes remain,
Fool's ramblings end, truth in the rain,
Moments slip by, swept by the stream,
Stillness sways, unravel the dream.

[Chorus]
You have to check out,
No matter how it hurts,
Check out and see everything outside,
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
I don’t need a father,
Think I'll go, alone,
Left in this silence,
Seeking the unknown.

[Chorus]
You have to zoom out,
No matter how it hurts,
Zoom out and see everything we’re destroying,
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
You have to stretch out,
No matter how it hurts,
Stretch out, no matter how it hurts,
Never stop, never pause

Stretch Out [Smoking Gun Mix]

The Dream Of Kisses [Before They Came]

[Verse]
I wrote letters in my mind, they never reached your hands
Every word I thought was a fight against the shame
They built a wall between us with their words
But I heard your heartbeat—I know it still stirs

[Pre-Chorus]
They said the bond was broken, but I still feel it near
An echo of love burning through the fear

[Chorus]
(Faces) lost in a blurry frame
A home I loved, now just a name
I built a bridge, but someone burned it down
I’m here, but you don’t see me around

[Verse]
I saw you waving from a window
But the door never opened for me
Your voice, once safe, now just an echo
Drowning in what someone else said about me

[Pre-Chorus]
They said love was forever, but it feels like a lie
When I stumble in the darkness where my family used to be

[Chorus]
(Faces) lost in a blurry frame
A home I loved, now just a name
I built a bridge, but someone burned it down
I’m here, but you don’t see me around

[Bridge]
Am I a shadow, or is it just a dream?
Can you remember when you held my hand so serene?
I cry to the wind, to every star in the night
Please remember me—I’m the child you left behind

[Chorus]
(Faces) lost in a blurry frame
A home I loved, now just a name
I built a bridge, but someone burned it down
I’m here, but you don’t see me around

[Outro]
I’m here.
Do you see me now?



Lost In A Blurry Frame

[Verse]
Silent roads we tread
In this quiet town
Whispers rise then softly drown
Fallen leaves on stone
We trace shadows here
We trace shadows here

Stars fade, they guide
Paths we used to roam
(We trace shadows here)
Still echoes (trace shadows here)
from our soft unknowns
Time forgets us slow
We are stories told
We are stories told

[Chorus]
(Yet) we hold on
In this fragile night
There's still a spark inside
Still a spark inside

[Bridge]
Tiny spark in endless time, 
awake and come alive,
Through the chaos, stars align, 
you're meant to rise and shine.

[Verse]
Awake in shadows' gentle sway
We walk these roads, fade into gray
Yet still a note, so faint, survives
In the emptiness, hope revives

[Chorus]
(Yet) we hold on
In this fragile night
There's still a spark inside
Still a spark inside

[Outro]
Time may drift and seasons fade, 
but one truth still survives,
The moments shared with you 
were the best of all my life.

Still A Spark Inside [Edit]

Rise [I See A Girl Undone]

[Verse]
Screens aglow, I'm waving low
In this shade, where did love go?
Just a sound, an echo bound
Home feels empty all around
I try to speak, they look away
In a world where silence stays

[Chorus]
They say to toughen up
But they don't feel the steal
Love's dripping through the ceiling
And I keep fading, unreal

[Verse]
Dinner cold, the table's bare
Mom and Dad, lost in their stare
Stories told, but no one hears
Floating through these scrolling years
Yet I smile, keep it all fine
In a world of warning signs

[Chorus]
They say to toughen up
But they don't feel the steal
Love's dripping through the ceiling
And I keep fading, unreal

[Bridge]
Screaming, let me be seen
Through the cracks, I intervene
Breaking free, sounding the drums
Silence turns to shouts, here it comes

[Chorus]
They say to toughen up
But they don't feel the steal
Love's dripping through the ceiling
And I keep fading, unreal

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. 🐦
