2 years past the system failure The clouds are gone and now it’s bright Except for casual bits of memories Of what happened at that time Compatibility was missing Like in an old PC and Mac So many months felt overloaded With broken promises and lies That the back-end of my emotions Was in a constant fight or flight I often found myself reflecting How could you have won my heart? ‘Cos you hacked my mind By stealing that kiss You hacked my mind Access guaranteed You hacked my mind On top of that the encrypted language Added up to overheat My patches brought so many errors Made it so hard to live like this I turned the power off frustrated And walked away from the screen ‘Cos you hacked my mind By stealing that kiss You hacked my mind Access guaranteed You hacked my mind Then I reached the ‘Black Eyes’ Bay My cold sweat disappeared Its waters banished all my fears And helped them all to fade away Sail the torrent of insanity To another multiverse Life is better unsupported Than under the same address ‘Cos you hacked my mind You hacked my mind By stealing that kiss You hacked my mind Access guaranteed You hacked my mind Just get out of my mind The fix needs to heal Time to restart And pull up the shields ‘Cos you hacked my mind.

Ghosts 03:58
I know there are some ghosts in my head I feel I’m just the mask they wear I fight the doubts in my heart but I swear That they help to keep up and look ahead Ohhhhh Ghosts Ohhhhh Ghosts I know there are some ghosts in my head I feel I’m just the mask they wear They fight to stay on my side but I swear That it hurts when you love and no one cares Ohhhhh Ghosts Ohhhhh Ghosts I dream of a world of love to be shared But I live in the darkness, I’m scared And I pray to these shadows to repair This life that is crumbling in the air. Perhaps my soul was not prepared To cope with abandon and despair So I try to believe the fairy tale But it still hurts when you love and no one cares Ohhhhh Ghosts Ohhhhh Ghosts How can I find myself?, unless I let you go! Ohhhhh Ghosts

Unwanted 03:29
Back in the old days Just turned seventeen Your vicious lips and wicked eyes enchanted me. Red rose, behind your ear I could not even breathe. You would have embarrassed Aphrodite. Like a tiny boat on the open sea Never big enough for you to notice me Unwanted Your eyes were shining stars when I played that theme Maybe there’s a chance for you to be my Queen But I was so blind, unable to see That your eyes were glowing for him, not me. Like a homeless man living on the street Treated as if I didn’t exist. Unwanted Not a clue on love 'cause I was Young and insecure, begging on my knees, Never man enough for you to come to me. Just gave up on love 'cause I was... Unwanted Just gave up on love 'cause I was unwanted. I grew up so much ‘cause I was unwanted.

Life Juice 04:10
Some had a dream to connect us all A site was built to share laughs and joy This super-conscience of Humanity Revealed itself as grim and cold. Selling you out, the highest bidder is the new God All human beings become the product Squeezing you to extract your life juice out ‘Heil' to the new divine empire Dark clouds are coming your way Squeezing you to extract your life juice out Tracking you down by wolves that serve our dystopian world, Mining your mind, thoughts are the new ‘gold’. Squeezing you to extract your life juice out ‘Heil' to the new divine empire Dark clouds are coming your way Squeezing you to extract your life juice out Walking the street with your head down Talk to the fleas that live on the ground Squeezing you to extract your life juice out ‘Heil' to the new divine empire Dark clouds are coming your way Squeezing you to extract your life juice out.

Blue Eyes 04:15
Some dreams never come true Others make your life hard I knew it coz your eyes were so blue Business first, then the heart. The mirror will show you the truth When it’s ‘The Money’ you’ve been looking at Sadly, it was my last drop of youth An ocean of you, it’s just sand. Rejected by you Forgotten by time Strings out of tune Your name is ‘Blue Eyes’ Some dreams never come true Others tear you apart Honey, I’m glad things fell through The glow of your room was such a trap Rejected by you Forgotten by time Strings out of tune They call you ‘Blue Eyes’ 'Cause we did play with the odds, I saw myself in your mind I would have left it all behind.

Stranger 03:02
Stranger, you’re living in an app Stranger, show me who’s the one behind That bunch of moments on my screen Athens, Paris, Amsterdam You’re the accident that brings A ray of sunlight when it’s dark. My friend, are you gonna make me dance? You said, "Bring it on! Cry or laugh!" And I’m confused about how I feel 'Cause I’ve been there so many times But you were brave to talk to me As if you knew it’s gonna last.

Nogards Auckland, New Zealand

Erif and Steve met on an Open Mic session. After Erif finished a quick 3 songs set Steve approached him to start a conversation and realised he actually wasn't a native English speaker hahaha.
Sometime later Erif and Julian met on a bus stop and they instantly realised they had to make music together. After his vocal session Erif coincided with Josh & Vishal and asked them funnily to join the band
