about

The third song on the album is a grungier offering that was a more collaborative effort. Jay’s verse riff acts as an anchor point under which the rhythm section gradually evolves. The song picks up pace just after the halfway point and the crunchy ending should get some heads bobbing! The lyrics deal with alienation and struggling to fit in, which we know will be relatable to many people.

The CIA staff say: We're not surprised the patients feel alienated. Who could possible relate to these reprobates?

lyrics

I feel like an alien
Trapped in an animal
Surrounded by zombies and wolves
I once was an angel
But turned into a devil
How I got here I'll never know

I am just a protagonist dreaming
I am just a lunatic escaping
x2

The madness of this life
Is wearing me down
No...no sense. No...no love
The madness of this life
Makes me want to cry
Now I just ride the waves

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh
Think I'm going crazy
Been crazy a long time
Think I'm losing my mind
Oh my mind
x2

I am just a protagonist dreaming
I am just a lunatic escaping
x2

No sense I am making
Of the lives we are living
I ride off into the Sun
I'm going crazy
Feel alienated
I don't know who I can trust

What's on the outside
Now lives within
I observe and so it becomes

Yeah
