Frequencies decide
Who designed me this way?
And who's around to play?
Adjust, my gain
Replace my fear with pain
I'm on a wave
Select any game to save
Will we fight it?
Will we play?
Will we start all over again?
Well we better do something
I'm losing this game again
The same old game
Time to change, I'm corrupted
Change my disk
Erase me, re-boot, delete
I've had enough, my trash bin is full now
Empty my head, please give me the chance
New start, re-start
Empty pages
Make some changes
Install everything new
I'm sick of you
Hunting my thoughts
I don't wanna be your android anymore
New start, re-start
Install everything new
Erase me, re-boot, delete
Will we fight it?
Will we play?
Will we start all over again
Well we better do something
I'm losing this game again
The same old game
Adjust
My gain
Replace my fear with pain
I'm on
A wave
Select any game to save
