I, I’m a felon I’m a cretin I’m a prawn But you, need to know If you want me I won’t be gone I, I’m a cretin I’m a felon And I’m a fraud But you need to know I’m the proof We’re all flawed Oh (Screamed/Clean) I always seem to hurt the ones that I love No mercy for the coward in your arms

Drown my head, teach my how to run again The wicks are always burning brighter at the other end I--- Can’t--- Walk the path ahead of me (Now I see) That these- toys’- harmony will kill me Lonely days and happy nights are what your body brings I see it start all over every time I see it end I try and try to keep the peace but peace is not my friend Chorus: I---can be so clean Thousand miles to get a piece of me I---can be so mean Keep your head straight in a fever dream Get me off, show me that I’m not alone I gave my soul and now my body and my mind you own I try to break away is when I need you in my veins I gotta, gotta get away, get me away from this place and I--- Will-- Try--- I swear that I--- Will--- Try---

Optophobia 04:16
lyrics

Blatant hypocritical failure as I see it Even saints can burn at the stake It doesn’t really matter what it is that you’ve done here Even gods can fail (Chorus): I’m gonna break down your emotions I’m gonna make you cry I’m gonna tear you apart As I make you mine Don’t give a fuck about your feelings Or what’s on your mind You don’t care about people So why should I? I’d hate to see it your way All have failed who've tried Hard to find the truth, So consumed in lies It's hard to feel bad for self-deluding socios You fear a world in peace The way you think you should be seen as a psycho Everything you say makes me think that you don't belong The fire in your voice will distract from your green eyes The heat is too much for the world to bear The fire sparks passion in their hearts and weak minds And with that we all burn Alright now look, motherfucker, I’ve had enough of this shit Every time I turn around it’s more deception Shadows, you forgot that all the right is religious Oh you goddamn motherfuckers can censor this Bullshit, bullshit sells Bullshit, bullshit smells

Skinner's Box 06:41
lyrics

A killer Word filler So many voices get fainter when am guide The middle A widow Shaking the voices that faint feet who pry Winner (Here I am) Dinner (Here I am) Abusive Elusive How many times will they slip through the cracks? Chorus: I look ahead and I see a winding road One step and now it seems I’m on my own Drawn and quartered No coordinates Joke’s on me And I find it funny Dreams of grandeur Falling apart Running in circles And it ends at the start I think that maybe I’m right where I should be But, then, can you tell me Where is everyone else? Stolen meaning And there’s nothing but screams I’ve got reasons But they’re failing me (Snorts line of coke) The angled Been strangled ???????????? The noises The poisons How hard is it for a savior to stay? Liar (Here I am) Higher (Here I am) Lyrics Unwritten La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

about

Our first EP, featuring four original songs: Poth, Fever Dream, Optophobia, and Skinner's Box, totaling 20 minutes in length. Lyrically, this EP ranges from the traumas of substance abuse to subtle satirical comments on other musicians and musical genres present today.

The most distinctive feature about this EP is that the songs' structure is unique to anything else you can find today. Take, for example, the last song Skinner's Box. Starting with a guitar solo, all other instruments cut out for a short time, then come back in to finish the solo, then fade out once more before the body of the song. It then goes into an instrumental version of the chorus, featuring only about a third of the full chorus, then into a two-part verse. Afterwards, we are taken to the full chorus, consisting of three distinct riffs. The song ends on an outro in an entirely different tuning than the rest of the song.

Another distinct feature is the vocal style of the band. The simultaneous high and low singing of our members mixes together to form a unique sound, and on our third song Optophobia the lead guitarist fills in on lead vocals.

The mood of our songs varies from somber and mellow to light and upbeat, without sacrificing style in order to fit mood.

Whatever the case may be, the range of mood and styles of the songs featured on this EP titled "Self-Deluding Socios" ensures that anyone can listen to it and enjoy themselves. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy making it, and you can expect more in the future!
-Mark "I'madeus" Hooven
