O the vast Infinity Thou art beyond all reason We praise your divinity Could you end this dry season? Why must we dwell in sand here? Why must we lose all so dear? Lost in the deserts of Dune My only comate is you Waiting for the comet to Show me the path under moons Lost in the deserts of Dune My only comate is you Waiting for the comet to Show me the path under moons I need to go through sandstorm Cause there's a lot to amend So everyone that left me Can lastly see me ascend Why does life giving Sun burn? Why in the end we feed worms? Lost in the deserts of Dune My only comate is you Waiting for the comet to Show me the path under moons Lost in the deserts of Dune My only comate is you Waiting for the comet to Show me the path under moons ... Lost in the deserts of Dune My only comate is you Waiting for the comet to Show me the path under moons Lost in the deserts of Dune My only comate is you Waiting for the comet to Show me the path under moons

Yesterday I asked AI to generate for me A perfect course of my life Not sure why, maybe to torment myself But it creates it all, even a wife And children, and success, and happiness All the loved ones are alive and proud of me Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this to myself? Why even create what can't be real? Artificial Intelligence Real issues, not for me Artificial Intelligence Real problems, not anymore But when I leave the simulation Let me be a bit outspoken I have the worst realization That my body is useless and my mind is broken In world where the dreams are just normal life Yet truth unfolds, it's filled with strife We can see outcome, the bitter peak AI is powerful and human is weak Artificial Intelligence Real issues, not for me Artificial Intelligence Real problems, not anymore Out of the blue, the rich are afraid The machines they bought will steal their jobs The poor could not care less about this charade Go artificial Artificial Intelligence Real issues, not for me Artificial Intelligence Real problems, not anymore Artificial Intelligence Real issues, not for me Artificial Intelligence Real problems, not anymore

"Русский военный корабль, иди нахуй" "Вторгнення" He threatens the dear ones of people I know And I took that personally How any country leader can fall so low We have to oppose sturdily to it Calling him a madman would be an offence To people struggling with a mental illness There's no name for someone allowing mass murder Of families with children - fucking children?! No, no more war Cease the beating Stop, leave us alone Why does it keep repeating? "Вторгнення" "Вторгнення" "Вторгнення" "Вторгнення" He didn't know the defence Would be so rigid and fierce There are not that many Upholders of that region But their will is very strong They will oppose the legion His name shall be forgotten And his corpse alone and rotten No, no more war Cease the beating Stop, leave us alone Why does it keep repeating? No, no more war Cease the beating Stop, leave us alone Why does it keep repeating? Why does it keep repeating? "Логічне питання" A man without honour Enables his whole country To prey upon innocent People who should be free Free from violence and rape Done in the name of the warmonger We all know his further fate He won't stay here any longer "Логічне питання" Why does it keep repeating? The truth is his place is on The ash heap of history He brought us only sorrow And harm, and nothing good (Why does it keep repeating?) He'll be gone, his goons will follow Their last feeling will be shame And decades later No one will remember his name "Вторгнення" "Вторгнення" Stop

Hexagonal rooms that are adjacent With four walls of full bookshelves Filled with books for those obeisant Not afraid of losing themselves Nonsensical! Plus so bland I cannot digest this brew of letters! Tantalised, I try to find The word deep in the æther It's entangling my mind To not know is much better There's no return to the state of not knowing Who could be the person behind all this bilge When you realise the scale it's mind blowing Who could be its architect who set to build I think the language is a multi-tool To a nation of fools it was hurled And a word is merely a molecule In a varied, mad and volatile world This mass of people I cannot stand! Why, against me alone, are they together? Tantalised, I try to find The word deep in the æther It's entangling my mind To not know is much better There's no return to the state of not knowing Who could be the person behind all this bilge When you realise the scale it's mind blowing Who could be its architect who set to build »Auf! Lasst uns hinabsteigen und ihre Sprache durcheinanderbringen! Dann wird keiner mehr den anderen verstehen.« Verstehen Verstehen Verstehen Verstehen Todo el mundo cabe en un anaquel No te rindas estás tan cerca de el Y si fueras tu el dueño de ese poder Me lo dejarías saber Puedo ver en tu espalda Figuras que aluden a tu ignorancia Y si el brillo de tus ojos te delata No habrá hexágono en qué puedas esconder Y si el carmesí cubre to portada Como envuelve s todo aquel Que busca remediar con tu santidad El peso de nacer El secreto es que no es ningún secreto Que el destino es el camino Entre más aprendo menos lo entiendo Tak nie może być Trwam desygnatem Wiedzieć nie chcę nic I mieć cokolwiek wspólnego z tym światem There's no return to the state of not knowing Who could be the person behind all this bilge When you realise the scale it's mind blowing Who could be its architect who set to build There's no return to the state of not knowing Who could be the person behind all this bilge When you realise the scale it's mind blowing Who could be its architect who set to build

End Of Story 05:49
A major trading settlement They've got every kind of supply Here we're all decadents Who want to party before we die Old morality is obsolete We've got no time to woe Time to eke the ammo We've got enemies to beat Wait here, we need to choose, Since everyone is greedy, Between water and booze Take the latter and we're ready Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me, why Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me, why This reminds me of the past Years before the latest war Some time ahead of the blast All living I don't know what for With covetousness deranged Wasting water and resources Humanity hasn't changed Always some opposing forces So we drink to forget We haven't found the sense as yet They die, we die That's the end of bloody story Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me, why Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me, why Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me! Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me! Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me! Should have done something earlier When we still had some time Now I'm this world's burier No such luxe for me! They die, we die End of story They die, we die End of story They die, we die End of story They die, we die End of story

Plagiarism 04:28
"Let's just think about this for a second. What actually is plagiarism?" Yeah, I take pieces of the whole Glue it up to make something more But the fabric's sometimes not mine Though I make it somehow look like And mind not to cross the foul line Dodge another copyright strike As if it wasn't enough to Find some words to the rhythm Do I really need to mind you Can't get rid of plagiarism "At least think about what benefits it offers but then also consider what costs." Maybe I'll use some forgotten samples Their licence is sometimes a gamble All has been invented so Copying two words must be alright Keep holding on to let it go Their combinations are finite As if it wasn't enough to Find some words to the rhythm Do I really need to mind you Can't get rid of plagiarism As if it wasn't enough to Find some words to the rhythm Do I really need to mind you Can't get rid of plagiarism I steal You steal Everyone steals I steal You steal Everyone fucking steals "So just open your mind a little bit, maybe?" As if it wasn't enough to Find some words to the rhythm Do I really need to mind you Can't get rid of plagiarism As if it wasn't enough to Find some words to the rhythm Do I really need to mind you Can't get rid of plagiarism "Plagiarism is not a crime. I like it..."

Save/Load 04:42
Just another peaceful day Except it's actually not We're just a background to this play Not essential to the plot For him we are on display The volatile man in black Used to help us right away Now we are afraid he's back Save Load No consequence, he's deranged The most powerful man in the land With a saved game his face changed He's ready to kill, to kill, to kill No consequence, he's deranged The most powerful man in the land With a saved game his face changed He's ready to kill, to kill, to kill Save load save load Save Load Save Load He's got this habit to save Just before starting a carnage He won't give us even a grave He will leave us with garbage We were naïve to call him friend We will die out at this rate Our consciousness will end Soon when he loads the previous state No consequence, he's deranged The most powerful man in the land With a saved game his face changed He's ready to kill, to kill, to kill No consequence, he's deranged The most powerful man in the land With a saved game his face changed He's ready to kill, to kill, to kill With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate Or persist in the doomed world you have created SAVE (kill kill kill kill) LOAD (kill kill kill kill) SAVE (kill kill kill kill) LOAD (kill kill kill kill)

Pola: Za co najbardziej kochasz Gorzów? Hihi: Bo się tu czuję jak u siebie i czuję, że jak tu jestem, to po prostu mogę sobie być. I czas w sumie jest jakimś takim dziwnym konceptem, jest bardzo płynny. Wszystko jest takie swoje. Takie moje. I czuję się po prostu u siebie. The first city, in which I was born Over the seven hills, not far away Glimpses of the past, the stories worn Old streets whisper secrets, here they stay River's the same, people are different Zest is absent, the youth egress Otherwise let's chill with calm persistence Where stairs lead to nowhere and everything's timeless Always in between, roads intertwine Memories of the past, echoes in my mind A tale of two worlds, a journey so wide Torn between two cities, where my soul resides The second city, to which I moved Onward I wandered, to its embrace Plethora of people, to noise find groove On diverse situations when souls interlace Zenith of culture, lively charm to chase Nights illuminate, parks try to breathe Abundant passions, in hearts embrace Now looking forward, with new hopes they seethe Always in between Always in between Always in between Always in between Always in between, roads intertwine Memories of the past, echoes in my mind A tale of two worlds, a journey so wide Torn between two cities, where my soul resides Gorzów / Poznań Gorzów / Poznań Always in between, roads intertwine Memories of the past, echoes in my mind A tale of two worlds, a journey so wide Torn between two cities, where my soul resides Always in between, roads intertwine Memories of the past, echoes in my mind A tale of two worlds, a journey so wide Torn between two cities, where my soul resides Marta Harat-Tórz: Myślę, że szybko się z Poznania nie wyprowadzę. Właściwie wpisuje się to w trochę szerszą dyskusję, czy w dobie globalizacji miejsce zamieszkania wpływa na twórczość.

Thrice upon a time I first met you There was an image for everyone but also A harsh caretaker for the other two And a kid hiding from the sun Why is that so, I never knew Please tell me what can be done I want you to be safe I want you to be safe from yourself But now sleep well, I know it may last I hope your dreams are pleasant and happy Don't worry how much time has passed I'll be here in case you need me I want you to be safe I want you to be safe from yourself I want to be safe I want to be safe from myself I want you to be safe Safe Safe Safe Safe Safe Safe Safe
