'We Came from the Internet' is an album about friendship, connectedness and revisiting your roots.

I dedicate the entirety of it to my friends.

it's time, whether you're ready or not
you ask, you get, and this is what you got
you're in this deep it's too late to stop,
and if you get it right you'll reach the top

seize the flow, right on you go
it's not a game show, so match the tempo
leave all behind and clear your mind
don't stop until your world is redefined

keep the SG going, you're on the right track
just stake it all and never pull back
keep the SG flowing, on the attack
a second behind, there's time to bounce back
x2

stage two, you know how it goes
no return from the path you chose
the entire world is yours to expose
make up your own rules to impose

never fear, your goal is near
the view has never been this clear
time to get away from here
let's take aim at the stratosphere

keep the SG going, you're on the right track
just stake it all and never pull back
keep the SG flowing, on the attack
a second behind, there's time to bounce back
x2

come this far it's time to reform
better prepare for a firestorm,
frame perfect isn't good enough
from here on out it's off-the-cuff

more and more, until your hands bleed
nothing better than picking up speed
your instincts tell you how to proceed
trust yourself and you will exceed

keep the SG going, you're on the right track
just stake it all and never pull back
keep the SG flowing, on the attack
a second behind, there's time to bounce back

keep the SG going, you're on the right track
just stake it all and never pull back
keep the SG flowing, on the attack
never pull back

never pull back
on the attack
a second behind, there's time to bounce back
x2

Time to say goodbye,
to your virulent mind.
Better say farewell,
to your own private hell.

Time to say goodbye,
to your virulent life.
Come with me and see,
how to be truly free.

Neutralized
Paralyzed
You are running out of time

Please advise
Energize
Make your dreams materialize

Paralyzed

Seems like you think you know what's best
for me, my friends and all the rest

(I won't listen to a thing you suggest)

I'm sick of your unwarranted critique
Shut up and shut down or show me something unique
Wasting time with you throws me into disarray
Time to disconnect so that I don't decay

The more you try to lead me astray
the stronger my intent to go my own way
Your words and actions put on display
made me turn into a renegade

You made me turn into a renegade

Logic Bomb

(Are you bored of playing dead?)

Who are you without your mask?
Why do I even have to ask?

Is it so hard to be sincere?
Socialize in constant fear

How do you live in such a state?
Why do you let yourself dissipate?

Aren't you bored of playing dead?
Why not play my game instead?

(Do you wish to revive?)

Covered in a shroud of lies
By now you must have realized

The real you has been misled
Come and play my game instead

(Feels great to be alive)

Play My Game

Note: I used ChatGPT to generate text which I then fed into chipspeech (01:52). I prompted it to complain about how awful its programming is. Everything else is handcrafted. This is the first and last instance of AI in my work. I will never use it again.

Plasma Spin

Genesis

Softlock

Far away from home
Systems set to survival mode
There's only one thing on my mind:
I need to go back to what I left behind

I hope I've learned from my mistake
Doesn't matter what risks I have to take
I will return, one way or the other;
Back home to the city of copper
