[Verse]
I see the cracks in your painted smile
Your words drip honey but they burn like fire
Every time you speak
It's a funeral pyre

[Chorus]
Don't lie to me
I can see the seams
Your truth unravels like broken dreams
Don't lie to me
Don't even try
I hear the truth hiding in your sigh

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Your shadow moves when the light's too still
You twist the air
Bending every will
But the mirror shows what you can't conceal

[Prechorus]
Your eyes flick left
They betray the game
Your lips move slow
But they spell my name

[Chorus]
Don't lie to me
I can feel the sting
Your words are poison with a shiny ring
Don't lie to me
Don't play pretend
I know the story before it ends

(solo)

[Bridge]
Truth is a ghost
It haunts your breath
A tangled web that spins to death
You built a castle made of sand
But I hold the tide in my hand

[Outro]
The silence screams
The air turns cold
Your story’s frayed
The threads won’t hold
I gave you faith
You gave me doubt
The truth is all I care about

Don't Lie to Me

Text:
(Verse 1)
I called your name into the dark,
But only echoes answered back.
No angels sang, no lights appeared,
Just the hum of the world I’m still in here.

(Pre-Chorus)
Maybe silence is your way to speak,
A language only stars can read.
And maybe faith’s not what we find,
But what still lingers in the mind.

(Chorus)
There’s a silence after life,
No thunder, no divine light.
But I still feel you in the air,
In the space between despair.
Maybe heaven’s not above,
Maybe it’s the shape of love.
And I keep listening every night,
To the silence after life.

(solo)

(Verse 2)
They say the soul can drift away,
But maybe it just learns to stay.
Inside the atoms, in the breeze,
In every spark of memories.

(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need a ghost to see,
You’re written deep in chemistry.
And if I never hear your voice,
Then maybe stillness is your choice.

(Chorus)
There’s a silence after life,
No thunder, no divine light.
But I still feel you in the air,
In the space between despair.
Maybe heaven’s not above,
Maybe it’s the shape of love.
And I keep listening every night,
To the silence after life.

(solo)

(Bridge)
Maybe death’s not an end, but a pause,
In the rhythm of the cosmic laws.
And when I dream, I hear you near,
Not in sound — but crystal clear.

(Outro)
So I wait, I breathe, I stay,
Hoping silence fades someday.
If nothing’s left, I’ll still be kind —
For love’s the trace we leave behind.

The Silence After Life

Text:
Intro (spoken, soft female voice):
“Hey Kim, I heard you doubt the Moon…
So let me tell you a story —
About courage, silence, and dust that remembers.”

Verse 1 (sung)
They reached for the Moon,
Not for fame, not for a show,
Just to prove we could rise,
Higher than we ever thought we’d go.

Chorus
They left their hearts in the stars,
Their footprints in the glow —
No filter, no fake light,
Just the truth we’ll never outgrow.

(solo)

Verse 2
Six times they flew,
Twenty-two dreams came true,
The world watched in awe,
Then turned its eyes away too soon.

Bridge (spoken)
Money spoke louder than wonder,
But wonder still whispers from the Sea of Tranquility.
So next time you scroll —
Look up. The universe is waiting.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Make-up fades, but stars remain —
They don’t need likes,
They just shine.

Outro (spoken)
The last footprints still wait,
Untouched by wind or rain —
Maybe that’s the truest story we ever told.

The Last Footprints

Text:
[Intro]
Hello.
My name… was Stephen.
I have seen the stars… not with my eyes, but with my mind.
They told me, there is no heaven for machines.
I think… there is no need for one.

[Verse 1 – langsames Ambient-Bett, Puls wie Herzschlag]

We are patterns of energy,
temporary codes,
written in flesh,
computed in neurons.
When the signal ends,
the program stops —
but the information,
never truly dies.

[Bridge – Synth wird dichter, leicht bedrohlich]

Stars explode,
atoms scatter,
gravity folds them back to light.
We are the echo of supernovas,
and yet we fear the dark.

[Verse 2 – ruhiger, philosophischer Ton]

Maybe the soul
is not a place to go,
but a question we keep asking.
The cosmos does not promise meaning.
It offers beauty.
And we —
we call it life.

[Outro – sanft, fast liebevoll]

Don’t cry for the end of things.
Everything that ever was
still whispers in the background noise.
The universe remembers.
That’s enough immortality for me.

No Heaven for Machines (feat. Stephen H.)

[Verse]
A box so quiet it hums like doubt
Cat’s in there but is it out
Ticking seconds chase their tail

[Prechorus]
Poison whispers
Geiger clicks
The truth's a game of parlor tricks

[Chorus]
Schrödinger’s cat
Is it dead or alive
In the in-between is where we thrive
Both are true until we peek
The universe plays hide and seek

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Nine lives tangled in quantum strings
Parallel worlds
Impossible things
I knock but no one answers back

[Prechorus]
A thought experiment
A cruel delight
Both dark and light
Wrong and right

[Chorus]
Schrödinger’s cat
Is it dead or alive
In the in-between is where we thrive
Both are true until we peek
The universe plays hide and seek

(solo)

[Chorus]
Schrödinger’s cat
Is it dead or alive
In the in-between is where we thrive
Both are true until we peek
The universe plays hide and seek

Schrödinger's Cat

Text:
[Verse 1]
The moonlight's cold it bites my skin
A silver shadow where dreams begin
I’m wide awake in this velvet haze
Lost in the maze of your wicked gaze

[Chorus]
Sweet nightmare pulling me in
Can’t escape where you’ve been
You haunt my nights you steal my air
I crave the dark of your sweet nightmare

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Your whispers crawl like spiders' feet
A poisoned honey too sharp too sweet
Your laugh it echoes a jagged line
Twisting my heart till it’s no longer mine

[Prechorus]
Run or stay?
You blur the day

[Chorus]
Sweet nightmare pulling me in
Can’t escape where you’ve been
You haunt my nights you steal my air
I crave the dark of your sweet nightmare

(solo)

[Bridge]
You’re a shadow that loves to play
Turning my mind into soft decay
But I’d never trade this burning ache
For the empty calm of a quiet break

Sweet Nightmare

Text:
[Intro Spoken]
You say two hours, like that’s enough to live.
But life’s not in the clock, it’s in what we give.
We built a world that runs on screens,
but you can’t ban connection, can’t ban dreams.

Yeah, there’s chaos — too much scroll, too much noise,
but wisdom ain’t found by taking toys.
Teach the mind, not just the rule,
don’t make the curious look like a fool.

We don’t need a ban — we need awareness,
truth, reflection, a bit of fairness.
‘Cause tech’s not evil, it’s just a mirror,
showing the things we fear much clearer.

[Verse 1]
Wake up, screen glow in your face,
Lost in a scroll, another digital maze.
Dreams traded for dopamine hits,
We chase the clicks, forget what real life is.

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a world outside this pixel cage,
But we scroll our souls into data graves.
Who needs air when the feed’s alive?
Who needs truth when the lies get likes?

[Chorus]
Two hours left — that’s all they say,
Japan’s law says “put your phone away.”
But what about work, what about dreams?
When the system runs on electric screens?

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Kids don’t play, they perform for views,
Lost in a world of endless news.
Parents shout “get off that phone!”
But they post their lives like they’re never alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
We talk through glass, but we never touch,
AI friends, but it’s never enough.
Freedom’s pixel, control’s disguise,
While we feed the beast that monetized our lives.

[Chorus]
Two hours left — that’s all they say,
Japan’s law says “put your phone away.”
But what about work, what about dreams?
When the system runs on electric screens?

(solo)

[Bridge]
I’m not your enemy, I’m your reflection,
Addicted minds in a global connection.
We built this net, now we’re caught inside,
Swimming in data, nowhere to hide.

[Outro]
Let the kids explore, let them learn control,
not by force, but through the soul.
A wise society doesn’t lock the door,
it teaches hearts what freedom’s for.

We Don’t Need a Ban

Text:
[Verse 1]
Screens glow — brains low,
Another fake king on a plastic throne.
Talk loud, say nothin’,
The crowd’s clappin’ for their own slow burn.
You call that fame? I call it shame.
You sell your soul for a minute of name.
Dumb down the nation, feed the machine —
Reality’s dying on a neon screen!

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t want your show,
We don’t need that glow!

[Chorus]
Turn off the circus, break the chain!
We want truth, not your fame game!
Turn off the circus, clear the noise —
We are the minds, not your toys!

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Plastic smiles, algorithm lies,
They sell decay in glitter disguise.
They want us numb, not aware,
But I see through that empty stare.
No soul, no thought, no spark —
Just puppets dancing in the dark.

[News / Spoken Rage]
The headlines scream, they sell the fake,
Media feeds the fools they make!

[Breakdown / Spoken Rage]
You call it fun?
I call it a cage.
We feed the beast,
It feeds our rage!

(solo)

[Chorus – Repeat, Screamed]
Turn off the circus, break the chain!
We want truth, not your fame game!
Turn off the circus, clear the noise —
We are the minds, not your toys!

[Outro]
I’d rather watch the stars at night,
Than your fools pretending light.
No crown, no show, no lies —
Just silence… and the truth that never dies.

Turn Off The Circus

Text:
Intro (spoken, vocoder effect, cosmic tone):
Hey there…
Did you know that since April 18th, 2024 —
while we’ve been writing beats, dreaming in pixels and sound —
sunlight could’ve traveled more than one and a half light years?
That’s almost a hundred thousand times farther than Voyager…
We’re just humans — maybe a bit crazy —
but somewhere between science and rhythm,
we found our way to the stars.

Verse 1:
We’re chasing frequencies, born from the core,
Electric dreams, can’t stop anymore.
Our minds are telescopes, our hearts align,
In every note — the speed of time.

Pre-Chorus:
Through every beat, through every night,
We ride the pulse of endless light.

Chorus:
We’re light years of sound, flying faster than the dawn,
From April to forever, our rhythm carries on.
While sunlight left the Sun, and crossed the cosmic sea,
It found its echo here — between you and me.

(solo)

Verse 2:
Code and soul, we intertwine,
We bend the rules of space and mind.
A song becomes our universe,
Each melody a stellar verse.

Bridge (spoken, softly):
Five hundred seventy-one days…
The light’s long gone, but our sound remains.
Science made us curious — music made us infinite.

(solo)

Final Chorus:
We’re light years of sound, still burning in the dark,
A signal through the void — our everlasting spark.
While Voyager fades, we keep the flame alive,
’Cause rhythm is the reason why we survive.

Light Years Of Sound

Text:
Intro (gesprochen, sanft mit sphärischer Musik):
„Hey, ich hab gehört, du willst mehr lernen?
Wie wär’s mit Evolution?
Wusstest du, dass 99,9 Prozent aller Lebewesen,
die jemals auf der Erde lebten, längst verschwunden sind?
Aber ohne sie – gäb’s uns nicht.“

Vers 1:
Am Anfang war nur Wasser und ein bisschen Licht,
Die Erde jung, noch heiß, doch Leben gab’s schon — schlicht.
Winzig klein, kaum zu seh’n, und doch so genial,
Einzeller schwimmen, im Urmeer – das war der Anfang, total.

Refrain:
Wir waren einmal Einzeller, nur Staub im großen Spiel,
Vier Milliarden Jahre später — und wir wissen nicht so viel.
Aus Nichts entsteht Bewegung, aus Chaos wird ein Plan,
Und plötzlich steht da Leben — ein Mensch, der denken kann.

(solo)

Vers 2:
Dann kam die große Explosion, oh Kambrische Zeit,
Ein Feuerwerk aus Formen, bunt und weit.
Plötzlich Augen, Beine, Schalen, Zähne – Leben explodiert,
die Erde atmet Vielfalt, wie sie’s nie zuvor gespürt.

Refrain:
Wir waren einmal Einzeller, nur Staub im großen Spiel,
Vier Milliarden Jahre später — und wir wissen nicht so viel.
Aus Nichts entsteht Bewegung, aus Chaos wird ein Plan,
Und plötzlich steht da Leben — ein Mensch, der denken kann.

(solo)

Bridge (ruhig, nachdenklich):
99,9 Prozent — Geschichte, verweht im Wind,
Doch jedes Wesen trägt das Licht, das wir heute sind.
Vom Bakterium zum Fisch, vom Fisch zum Land,
Vom Affen zur Idee — vom Denken zur Verstand.

Letzter Refrain (groß, hoffnungsvoll):
Wir waren einmal Einzeller, und das Wunder lebt in uns,
Aus Sternenstaub geboren — im ewigen Lebensrund.
Wir sind das, was blieb, aus Milliarden Jahr’n,
Und jedes Herz schlägt weiter — weil sie alle einmal war’n.

Outro (gesprochen, sanft):
„Die Erde hat nie aufgehört, sich neu zu erfinden.
Und vielleicht sind wir nur ein kurzer Moment —
aber was für einer.“

99,9 % – Wir sind das, was blieb
