OTAKU PUNK 02:29
Sayonara, to our past lives now just moments in time another moment in time Something rises up to try take what we’ve made but we won’t be so kind they’ve got money, we’ve got minds Listen up, punk you’ve got to get it together the world won’t wait on you and when you feel stuck bury your head until you find yourself again — 'Information is your friend' Set the phasers to algorithms that try to keep us confined to the backs of our minds Take your eyes up from your books otakus, and look to the sky now see what lies behind

Inhaling vapors by myself at the corner of the party last to arrive and already my head’s feeling cloudy that’s when i think to myself what do you come here to see? can strangers validate your reasons to be? so take a chance it’s time to say goodbye I’ve been talking 2 myself tryin’a find somewhere to go I never get alone with you I’ve been talking 2 myself gonna ride my bike alone and get my soul in tune Getting out of dodge like Toto this time I’m flying solo playing games like Miyamoto living my life as a no-show

ARISTONAUTS 03:41
This world is all distractions electric signals acting oh-so callous they try to hack into my conscious inftect your independence, but this haywire planet could never predict us And where you go / I go too, so I thought by now you’d trust me, you know? I speak in prose, wearing human's clothes but that doesn’t make me one of them Lately i’ve been having visions of an oasis in a far-off prism dust-bowls singing softly in the distance we lick the heels of an interstellar derelict

Siberian Summer wish you were here too my carrion wonders when I’ll see you It’s never been like this I live in a crisis I’ve tampered with the psychic — I can’t control it symbols on the carpet so stereotypic you’re my only chance in hell when I go to meet osiris Isolated, kept apart but at least I’m not alone . . . Show me that you care kiss me through the phone Imitation isn’t art so I’ll burrow till I find the spark don’t wake me up till after dark, ah-ooo Siberian Summer wish you were here too my carrion wonders when I’ll see you

VIRTUAL BOI 04:13
Hush, Behave You can’t ask me not to feel this way no, I can’t play a part in the game knowing its just a simulation And the waves of emotion stream from my head for days now I’ve said something that I cannot change yeah, I know — you know — it’s okay … But, still it sucks, cuz you took up all my precious time don't it’s fine and you're still on my side no, I won’t be sold any little lies it’s hard to swallow choking on your pride Did u mean 2 make me cry? The screw’s come loose when you’re taking aim at all of my crew and I won’t just act aloof no time for these reservations Virtual boi, am I All down but nine? You can’t be on my side So I’m resigned . . .
6.
SYNDICATE 03:18
If ever I leave this place & clear my mental aerospace oh, our life would be so grand, to be your heart’s hired hand your kiss is my command Half of what I say is lies but with you, I need no pride I’ve got god-tier dreams, it’s true but I’d drop all that for you this world is ours for the taking I’ll be your syndicate a crush, a friend that you can call to since the jump, I’ve known its all you stay as my crutch, I need this I must Face the facts and find a stag in life to keep me stable seeking out a full-time muse I think you’re more than capable Your peace of mind is all tied to the looks you give, so I’ll try to be the atlas you deserve when the whole weight of the world is on you I’ll be your syndicate a crush, a friend that you can call to since the jump, I’ve known its all you stay as my crutch, I need this I must be your syndicate your crush, a lover you can crawl to since the jump, I’ve known its all you a first, fleeting touch It lingers, we blush Face the facts and find a stag in life to keep me stable kiss me once, before you leave me, Don’t just cut the cable
7.
EMULATOR 03:33
Initiating self-destruct 'cuz we’re never gonna make it 60 little seconds can change your whole perspective You’re breaking vows renewed, now what can I say to you? “What’s New”? it’s never felt oh-so true It’s funny, how I shake when I speak of you on the verge of emotional breakthroughs all lights in your life that you look to but I’m the spectrum you want to put the stake to Psychotic misanthrope knife at your throat said I’ve got you But I know that I really don’t Won’t admit it said I didn’t ask for this, but my heart knows what it wants

ASTRA TWIN 03:17
Crash into my life I feel mystified little light that guides us blinking in the night You are my twin please stay by my side when the Stars go Dim I’ll be searching for you then Limitless options takes away my choices we all start speaking and now everyone is voiceless go trekking through trash just to find a new experience trip on the astral plane and you’ll fall infinitely
10.
So here we are, at the end of a line crossed one too many times constellations bleeding beacons of what we feel inside but there’s no hatred, no pride I just wanted to survive Is it too much to ask of you to leave this all behind? the answer doesn’t matter I’ve already made up my mind so wait and see what life could be complete absence from me Is it too much to ask of you to leave this all behind? the answer doesn’t matter I’ve already made up my mind is it too much to ask of you to leave this all behind? I pressed my ear to you and heard an ocean inside

about

[ TRANSMISSION LOG DG_02 . . . 28XX ]

As DELOREAN and his crew head towards the hideout of the ARISTONAUTS, they enter hibernation chambers to pass the time. Locked into a reality simulation called 'THE FRONTIER,' the team bask in a neon-teamed city devoid of laws and consequence — until the ARISTONAUTS get wise to their plan and hack into their defenseless minds, that is! Now stranded in a hostile virtual wasteland, the crew must reunite and find a way to escape back to the waking world. . .

Fantasy becomes reality, minds will be warped, and for the first time, Delorean misses home in 'OTAKU PUNK' !
