We can shake shake shake If you want Then we’re up Leaning for a quick fit Nothing wrong with all of it We can feel the scorched earth No one’s coming back Watch it all rebirth Tricky little thing It’s the real deal The world is closing in Let it Begin The Land of sin Blackened skin What the flip is happening Dig into the ground Hear the sound It’s a calling for all Only the strongest survive When they give I take I know what is at stake Ancestral earthquake This party runs on the gas of the dead

RIPTIDE 02:33
Jungle massive Check it Distant waters Reel inside of me Round the space I cannot feel my face Check it out I gotta move / Raised in fire I'm on a roll, throw me a lifeline / Born to die It's not a crime, to seize the day / It's only time, you move outta the way You feel it too Hit them hard Watch them drop from the inside Make a push Slam the wall on the outside Mess them up Plan a switch on the dance hall Put your hands, put your hands up, up Every chance for me to live free Denied at the gate of he one and only jungle For the jungle I would live and die with the chance For the glory and the splendor of the jungle Give me the jungle You feel it too When you stay, find me a clue, coming undone Done when I'm drowning Keep it alive, over me while I'm sleeping / Who knew Down on the ground Boom chick, to live in the times We won't even care if you're selling it in the jungle, for the jungle We're the face of the jungle It can feel like it's falling apart, but it's really just gelling And the floor plan is the jungle Living in the jungle I feel it too

Shadows moving, drifting slowly Swirling cyclone, swallowing all It's a dream you have, over and over A sound you hear into the night It's a dream you have, over and over A sound you hear into the night It's just a matter of opinion In a world shut down It's the center of attention In the ruins of defeat Only one shot to break the mold Give it all you got or truth be told I've got a dangerous past with a lot to prove Got only one shot to break the mold Break the Mold Shadows moving, drifting slowly Swirling cyclone, swallowing all It's a dream you have, over and over A sound you hear into the night It's just a matter of opinion In a world shut down It's the center of attention In the ruins of defeat Only one shot to break the mold Give it all you got or truth be told I've got a dangerous past with a lot to prove Got only one shot to break the mold Shadows moving, drifting slowly Swirling cyclone, swallowing all It's a dream you have, over and over A sound you hear into the night It's just a matter of opinion In a world shut down It's the center of attention In the ruins of defeat It's just a matter of opinion In the ruin of oblivion It's the center of attention In the ruins of defeat

The threshold a moment in time Climbing up the flagpole Trans-polar by design And then the ground crumbles Got to stop to take your pulse When feelings are on a roll Didn't stay strong It's a failure The meantime you're weak and old Got to fix it and make it alright But the damage is already done It's a failure The meantime you're weak and old Can't stand to look in the mirror It makes me feel so low Feels so low Stay strong Breathe time Got to take your pulse When feelings are on display The damage is already done Feels so low Feels so low Low

And the world keeps spinning round And the world keeps spinning round And the world keeps spinning round And the world keeps spinning round Here and now We've lost some ground Watching from a distance  Seeming safe and sound Here and now We've lost some ground Watching from a distance  Seems safe and sound Here and now We've lost some ground Watching from a distance  Seems safe and sound And the world keeps spinning round And the world keeps spinning round And the world keeps spinning round And the world keeps spinning round From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home The world keeps spinning The world keeps spinning The world keeps spinning around Keeps spinning The world keeps spinning The world keeps spinning The world keeps spinning around From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home From here to there Searching everywhere From heaven to hell It's a long way home

about

Mars Rising, SPIZM's 2nd full length album and follow up to March 2022's B4uDie, was originally going to be entitled "Bust Out". After some soul searching, founder/composer Spiz rested on this AI-generated image, depicting apocalypse and a human-like distorted digital face and the title Mars Rising. This album takes the duo into new cyberpunk stylings: dream n bass, cyber dub, hyper ballad, Ragga Jungle and Darkwave.
