about

The first single off the 2nd LP, a cry for freedom and autonomy. Only you know yourself so you should be the one trusted to make the decisions you need to make. No outward authority can do that for you. “For your safety and
convenience” is the eternal mantra of totalitarian fascists.

lyrics

Verse 1
I know I’m a very special lab rat/I accept what I’ve been taught/Every choice I make in life it sucks/Some choices suck more than other
choices/With your delusions of grandeur, and your pocket book Freud/Though we never get beyond the beginning/The sun will rise
tomorrow no rhyme and no reason

Lab rat!
Headshot! Boom.

Verse 2
Everybody is dead at the end of someday/Just holding on to our misery/Here’s to hope, there’s no hope, here’s to no hope at all/Hope
someone is there to catch me when I fall/You can find yourself man, if you knew where to look/Though we never get beyond the
beginning/The sun will rise tomorrow no rhyme and no reason

Middle 8
Starve a fever, feed a cold/Deeper down, there is no deeper down/I won’t be scared/I won’t be scared/I won’t be scared of your pressure I
don’t sweat you/Precious words are treasures bless the man who dies fighting for our right to use language/My free expression is a right not
a privilege
And I chose to dig the furrow of the way live/You think you know me? What the fuck have you ever shown me except a heavy boot and a great
respect for authority?/The way I live is my river to drown in/The hill I die on only I can fucking climb it/Starve a fever feed a cold, feed an ego
and this shit gets really old/Scratching at the surface until you think you’re paying rent/But your pop-psyche ruminations will only let you
know what’s absent/Try to turn those eyes in a mirrored direction/I own my actions not your flawed perceptions/So infectious! One follows
one follows one follows one/Until it all adds up to a long walk home when we all die alone/When you’re all the way down/There is no deeper
down.
