I’m dedicating this album to my doughter Róża Wojtas
Michał Wojtas
Anonymous
So gorgeous
An aimless
An aimless chasing
In cyberspace
With no trace
In a swarm
She’s lost
Unknown
Nameless
Idyll
Assigned to comfort overflow
The idyll dazed us to the bone
Until you’re on the road you can’t forego waiting for a shooting star
And when you come undone or you feel alone, the best defence is in your mind
You’ll see me another day, we can float along, tasting the love before it’s gone
And if the sun falls and the moon is drowned, turned into dust we will go on
The sign of comfort overflow
We are prosaic to the bone
The more I try to analyze, the more my mind is hypnotized
Waiting for abundance – waiting just to gain the most
Should we really foster, what might never ever come?
Waiting for indulgence, ‘waiting’ as an endless road
Waiting for enlightenment , waiting for a change to come
Waiting for an answer, while it’s written on your wall
Waiting for silence, while it’s been your inner song
Waiting for something, all
Distorted Soul
Two faces but finally one form
In mazes of spinal cord’s control
Sometimes that’s all
You need nothing more
Sometimes that’s all
Then it dies forever
We can learn to heal
We can learn to feel
Let’s start it off
Taste it’s flavour
To sense a distortion
Inside your soul
Sometimes that’s all
You need nothing more
Sometimes that’s all
Then it’ll live forever
Two Sides
Winding Stairs
So straightened, I am waiting
I hide away within my space
To hasten a ripening
And climb the stairs of consciousness
Find me again, hunt me
Hurt me again, heal me
Winding stairs
Till I know myself
Led astray
I’m still somebody else
I’ve wasted my time on all those games that people play
Erase them, replace them with your affection bliss forever
Find me again, hunt me
Love me again, heal me
Winding stairs
Till I know myself
Led astray
I’m still somebody else
When you find me, won’t feel restrained
Stay
In Closeness
You set a firestorm
With a single word
It’s gonna burn for real
In it’s visible form
Every line is blurred
I don’t know what you feel
All we’d raised has fallen
And we’ve lost what we’d gained
Common sin of common men
There’s no sense in our stalling
As we’re no longer the same
Don’t wait in vain
I’ll ease your pain
In closeness, face to face
In closeness, face to face
I’ll tame your flames
You’ll hush my rains
Unreal
Nuke
Who can question the delusion
When so many minds agree
Watch the rough beast as it slouches
Dragging banners of the free
They think they’re free
When the blue lights come calling
All the world will follow me
I’m a jester of this kingdom
Leading you to misery
Just follow me
Wait and see
On that mystery morning
When I beheld the man
Who spoke the tongues of angels
Casting snakes out of the land
I recalled what father told me:
Stride your way everyday
Going against the flow
Stride your way everyday
Going against the flow
Deep inside my veins
Hidden time and space
Guide me on the way
Hunt
Almost 2 billions people belong to one of the biggest virtual community ever created. Every day this number is growing. All members believe that the network brings us closer to each other. Is that true? Do we really have hundreds of friends? Do we feel happier, safer and more satisfied?
Maybe the truth is out there. Maybe some people need our isolation to keep us under control. There are hunters constantly tracking us. They don’t have any intention to be our friends, but they are craving to get closer. They pursue our personal information, our secrets. This is a hunt for our life
Can you hear me? Can you see me?
Can you hear me? Can you see me?
These days are cold. Where are you?
I do exist neither here nor there
Neither here nor there as the life is elsewhere
This is a real surveillance which precedes total domination and manipulation on our decisions, our needs and the shape of our future. Do we really need the A.I.? Will the A.I need us?
Neither here nor there as the life is elsewhere
All my thoughts are stolen
All my plans have been hacked
I feel like under attack
I’ll stay alive
I will survive
I’ll dive into this space
Until I’ll find you in there
Knowing that the life is elsewhere
These days are cold
The words untold
We are here but the life is elsewhere
The life is elsewhere
Days of daze
I stay aware
I stay away
Will we ever create a better world?
Will we ever be safe?
Will we remain human?
Will we recognize other humans in the crowd?
Will we find a real God?
What if the ‘Judgement Day’ will come?
