Cover art for Dunsel lyrics by Protest the Hero

Album's out...here are the correct lyrics from the booklet:

And when the underworld's best kept secret Saw it's own reflection I knew things had finally changed For better or worse Whatever, as always

When the mid-life fires start to burn And burned down our one protection I won't take pictures from their frame Whatever, as always

When the hands that sold me everything Slapped a price tag on my chest I bit my tongue and shut my mouth And tried to blend in with the rest But I'm a square ped, I'm a sore thumb

And it seems to me this apathy Kills the life in artistry And leaves us ankle deep in industry

All those songs sound so damn good Even if their meaning's hollow But hollow words dry out your mouth You might find it hard to swallow All the shit that we keep feeding To keep ourselves and you believing Than no money could change us Then a door opens up and some devil persuades us

The songs we sung When we were just young Have all lost their meaning But there's still a few things that we keep on believing

Shitty music just ain't worth makin' Smiles and thank-yous just ain't worth fakin' Some assholes' hands just ain't worth shakin' And if it ain't broken, we need to break it

There's no such thing as unconditional Though contracts bind you in the end Make no mistake, this is a killing ground Blood-hungry and camoflaged as friends Select 'yes' at the end of this mess If you get there And it's your only fucking 'option' left

These days, I don't know the people I'm supposed to trust And I don't trust these people that I'm supposed to know The handlebars on my dreams slowly start to rust They'll take everything and somehow you still owe As the cocaine cowboys finally get their wings and sell them all for blow

I make music for myself Not for hat-tips from the upper-tier and their undeserved wealth Here's to their failing fucking health

I don't mean this in a hateful way But when the people you love start walking away The walls get tighter each and every day You better take your last bite before it crumbles away And there's something inside me I just have to say Love nothing, trust no one Just live for the motherfucking day
