[Verse 1]

These days we’ve got a Loch Ness problem

Nobody sees the monster, but everybody’s watching

They want to take my minutes, fill them with slick talking

I ain’t got a single one to spare, 'Cause I’ve been busy walking

On a line Johnny Cashing a check

That my mouth wrote out of spite while I was reaching for your neck

‘Cause preaching that you’re the best makes you weakest in the nest

I’ma slip in through the cracks and slit a throat while they rest

What can I say, I guess I’m in a funny mood

Got a hamster wheel mentality, feels like I never move

But I do, hide and seek for my muse

I get dizzy trying to find her, she ain’t leaving many clues

Sold a soul, bought a voice box of blues

Now I sing a sickly anthem, I’m lighting another fuse

Big bang, hand grenade face melt

Find a way and play the game if only to save yourself


[Chorus A: K. Raydio]

Masochist, you don't see what's become of the lies and treason

What's your worth, now you are one of them

In the end, you can trust all you want

On the surface of the smiles and the laughter it's on

Value brings all the treasures upon you

While you're searching for a sign that's beyond the beyond

Question is, do you pick up and move on

To the place nostalgia held you, or just leave and get gone?


[Verse 2]

It’s all confusion, distracted disillusion

I pack a bag for the apocalypse and keep it moving

Breaking my shackles was only half of the battle

I’ve been bucked off before, but now I’m back in the saddle

I dried my bloody eyes and never apologized

For using my soapbox and speaking my damn mind

Ask me if I care if it leads to my demise

I’ma write a happy song when the statues are on their sides

You don’t make it in America, you make it out alive

Shaved down, chewed up, spit out like cyanide

But I’m tired of being saliva

While the magazine’s preaching who I’m supposed to admire

All that running in place, we deserve to be tired

Sayonara diorama, the robots have been rewired

I’m coming for the throne so I can kick it on its side

And set fire to the palace while we eat the king alive


[Chorus B: K. Raydio]

Pacifist, you don't see what you've done

By just standin' back and watchin' like the TV is on again

In the end you can stunt all you want, but the corners of your eyes

Tell the tale of what's wrong

Magazines cast a shadow upon you

Of the smokescreen that is Hollywood, no one can follow you

Question is, do you pick up and move on

To the place nostalgia had you, or just leave and get gone?


[Verse 2]

Loddy-Doddy, sick of the oligarchy

Makes me want to punch a politician, crash a fucking party

Get it, they speak in binary code

Then pretend that we don’t know it when their record’s 1 and 0

Ain’t no wonder we take pride in swill and pills

It’s like proving to our peers that we got more pain to kill

Iller and possessed, collecting personal effects

Then we make it to the grave and see they burn us with the rest

Sit back, reflect, still wondering what’s next

See the people protest and they arrest the wrong suspect

Testing, testing, is a difference ever made

When the grade is only based on the things that we say?

I guess we’ll never know, call me stuck in my ways

I’m still speaking all the same, I give a fuck these days

Long winter, wake up, code red, alarm sounding

Is it too much to ask for us to not feel like we’re drowning?


[Chorus A: K. Raydio]

Masochist, you don't see what's become of the lies and treason

What's your worth, now you are one of them

In the end, you can trust all you want

On the surface of the smiles and the laughter it's on

Value brings all the treasures upon you

While you're searching for a sign that's beyond the beyond

Question is, do you pick up and move on

To the place nostalgia held you, or just leave and get gone?
