I’m sorry for everything.” A penny for your thoughts A quarter for the show The truth should turn to rot Whichever way the wind blows A penny for your thoughts A quarter for the show The truth should turn to rot Whichever way the wind blows The truth, yes a blonde, couldn’t give a shit about her failures Suffering in silence of a chemical imbalance That spawned erratic behavior The truth, yes a blonde, yes a blond, yes a blonde Apparent in the night, but absent come the dawn The truth, yes a blonde, yes a blond, yes a blonde Apparent in the night, but absent come the dawn Where is the country I came here to find? It’s running its hands through my hair It’s borders and boundaries are clearly defined It’s forty-five feet through the air Only the night sky will witness my flight Without so much as a care Out past the margins of all that’s finite Forty-five feet through the air It’s forty-five feet from here to there It’s forty-five feet through the air Forty-five feet to bliss from despair Only forty-five feet through the air It’s forty-five feet from here to there It’s forty-five feet through the air Forty-five feet to bliss from despair Only forty-five feet through the air It’s forty-five feet from here to there It’s forty-five feet through the air Forty-five feet to bliss from despair Only forty-five feet through the air The world rushes past and it’s softly obscured By the quiet and stillness of death Take from me this body It’s all that I have left Floating effortlessly The scent of gardenias in the air A veil should mask her face And her short blonde hair </video> <video> Protest The Hero | The Duelling Cavalier Official Audio Description: FABULA & SYUZHET: PALIMPSEST B-SIDES NEW ALBUM 'PALIMPSEST' OUT NOW PURCHASE/STREAM: LINKTR.EE/PROTESTTHEHERO _________ ALL MUSIC BY PROTEST THE HERO Rody Walker - Vocals Luke Hoskin - Guitars Tim MacMillar - Guitars Mike Ieradi - Drums Special Guest: Cameron McLellan - Bass Orchestral Arrangement / Production - Milen Petzelt-Sorace PRODUCED BY: Derya Nagle VOCAL PRODUCTION AND ENGINEERING: Anthony Kalabretta DRUM PRODUCTION, ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Dean Hadjichristou ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Darren “Jeter” Magierowski & Jill Zimmermann ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION AND MIXING: Simon Grove MASTERING: Ermin Hamidovic ARTWORK: Martin Wittfooth ------- “I hope to Christ it’s the soundstage,” Clara spat through her teeth With no idea how right she was Or the meaning underneath These simple words And thus the fire’s burning Iron doors are blowing— Open wide for a final silent scream The Innocents of Paris was interrupted at the time But it was still released in 1929 And it’s a crude but apt analogy And though change may bring agony Sound and image always would align Maybe it was just a funny accent Maybe it was just a stupid— Voic-ing all the reasons it should stay the same But they never had a choice Maybe it was due to their abilities Or lack thereof Their begging— Pleas-ing to the eye, but not the ear Cries rise and fall from the smallest voice And thus the fire’s burning Iron doors are blowing— Open wide for a final silent scream Hollywood starts turning Audiences become discerning Of the person on the screen Pay lip service to future debts Set the scene Silver tongues immortalized on silver screens Nothing’s too precious to stay Babels must fall everyday Unraveling the reels of tomorrow On time that’s borrowed Dismantle ideals of today Death rattle sounds without notice A damsel tied to the tracks A locomotive comes rushing forth And the listeners turn their backs Their faces away And thus the fire’s burning Iron doors are blowing— Open wide for a final silent scream Hollywood starts turning Audiences become discerning Of the person on the screen Pay lip service to future debts Set the scene Silver tongues immortalized on silver screens Nothing’s too precious to stay Babels must fall everyday Eagle or Icarus took flight from the gate Built in defiance of god With language confounded The eagle was grounded And the tower was found to be flawed And I was the first cast out I vacantly bowed out I die before my time Before the stars could realign Follow my lead Fall into me Fall into decay Fall into me </video> <video> He went to hole foods!

But I believe [that] nine out of ten are...”* And so they took his head And carved his eyes into the Native mountainside We can make an exception And they can make some concessions Because there’s gold in the Black Hills Armed to the teeth We can make an example of every one of these savages Because the rights they have we gave to them And we can take them away without giving a damn Oh yes, the rights they have we gave to them And we can take em, take em, take em, take em away Forgotten in the shadows cast by celebrated busts Lies a site depicting history’s ignoble blood lust There might be flowers in the windows, but only ashes in the streets Impoverished and broken sings the songs of their defeat But it’s your vacation, your holiday It’s a reminder every story gets sculpted and decayed It’s your vacation, your holiday You may feel cheated by it’s honesty Just pack the car and drive away It’s your vacation, your holiday It’s your vacation, your holiday It’s your vacation, your holiday It’s your vacation, your holiday About face Enjoy the ride There’s a different version of history carved in the mountain side Your mind’s made up Your hands are tied But colonialism by all definitions is the father to a genocide </video> <video> Protest The Hero | Mountainside (Official Audio) Description: NEW ALBUM 'PALIMPSEST' OUT NOW PURCHASE/STREAM: LINKTR.EE/PROTESTTHEHERO _________ ALL MUSIC BY PROTEST THE HERO Rody Walker - Vocals Luke Hoskin - Guitars Tim MacMillar - Guitars Mike Ieradi - Drums Special Guest: Cameron McLellan - Bass Orchestral Arrangement / Production - Milen Petzelt-Sorace PRODUCED BY: Derya Nagle VOCAL PRODUCTION AND ENGINEERING: Anthony Kalabretta DRUM PRODUCTION, ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Dean Hadjichristou ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Darren “Jeter” Magierowski & Jill Zimmerman ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION AND MIXING: Simon Grove MASTERING: Ermin Hamidovic ARTWORK: Martin Wittfooth </video> <video> Protest The Hero | Gift Horse (Official Audio) Description: FABULA & SYUZHET: PALIMPSEST B-SIDES NEW ALBUM 'PALIMPSEST' OUT NOW PURCHASE/STREAM: LINKTR.EE/PROTESTTHEHERO _________ ALL MUSIC BY PROTEST THE HERO Rody Walker - Vocals Luke Hoskin - Guitars Tim MacMillar - Guitars Mike Ieradi - Drums Special Guest: Cameron McLellan - Bass Orchestral Arrangement / Production - Milen Petzelt-Sorace PRODUCED BY: Derya Nagle VOCAL PRODUCTION AND ENGINEERING: Anthony Kalabretta DRUM PRODUCTION, ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Dean Hadjichristou ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Darren “Jeter” Magierowski & Jill Zimmermann ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION AND MIXING: Simon Grove MASTERING: Ermin Hamidovic ARTWORK: Martin Wittfooth ------ Is it the truth or a lie? As determined by Heavy breathing or a sudden spike Is it the truth or a lie?

Futile insistence—there’s a world between them What explains their identical outcome? “Beyond my expectation, [for] uncontrollable factors, this scientific investigation became for practical purposes...” So lie to me Provided we will still know the truth The horse we provided was long in the tooth But you ride it to death Because you needed an answer And the answer was always a— Lie to me, lie to me I don’t care at all The truth is what I make it The gavel will fall On the heads of guilty Whether they’re guilty at all And I hate this I hate what this has become My finest moment is done And as I fade into obscurity Take these gifts now as your own Lord, let their faith atone Just remember you’re a liar just like me Just like me Just like me Just like me Just like... </video> <video> Protest The Hero | Soliloquy (Official Audio) Description: NEW ALBUM 'PALIMPSEST' OUT NOW PURCHASE/STREAM: LINKTR.EE/PROTESTTHEHERO _________ ALL MUSIC BY PROTEST THE HERO Rody Walker - Vocals Luke Hoskin - Guitars Tim MacMillar - Guitars Mike Ieradi - Drums Special Guest: Cameron McLellan - Bass Orchestral Arrangement / Production - Milen Petzelt-Sorace PRODUCED BY: Derya Nagle VOCAL PRODUCTION AND ENGINEERING: Anthony Kalabretta DRUM PRODUCTION, ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Dean Hadjichristou ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING AND EDITING: Darren “Jeter” Magierowski & Jill Zimmerman ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION AND MIXING: Simon Grove MASTERING: Ermin Hamidovic ARTWORK: Martin Wittfooth VIDEO EDITING: Wyatt Clough _________ You can reach for your service pistol By the time you get it I’m betting that this will be over and done with Leave your badge and your gun You won’t be coming home tonight Because you’re dealing with a man at the end of his rope And I’ll be swinging for the fences on a prayer and a hope There’ll be no celebrations, or banner, libations Just your sad and lonely wife You want the glory Resplendent kill You want the story of the ill-famed blood you spilled Because there’s a Midwest overcoat And it’s begging to be filled And if I’m not caught wearing it, you will You’ll have to do better than that You’ll have to do better than that Because it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat Yea, you’ll have to do better than that Fuck it In 1916 at 7 years old, I shot a kid in the mug with a found pistol First taste of the bracelets, first taste of the can Gave him a taste of the grave before his life began And all we know is all that we’ve been told Reformed or refined, as if by design By a prison system that’s all but resigned When the ideal prisoner should spend his life drifting back and forth Back and forth Back and forth So swaddle me in a Native blanket You know I can’t stand being cold Leave me out front of the bleeding church To meet the head of the household I sold my soul for a handful of kills and a bankroll I sold my soul Swaddle me in a Native blanket You know I can’t stand being cold Leave me out front of the bleeding church To meet the head of the household I sold my soul You want the glory Resplendent kill You want the story of the ill-famed blood you spilled There’s a Midwest overcoat And it’s begging to be filled And if I’m not caught wearing it, you will Drive, just drive Get in the car Just drive away Just drive Get in the car Just drive away You’ll have to do better than that You’ll have to do better than that Because it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat Yea, you’ll have to do better than that Oh, you’ll have to do better than that You’ll have to do better than that Because it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat Yea, you’ll have to do better than that Oh no I think I’m bleeding out So take the wheel So take the wheel Oh no I think I’m bleeding out So take the wheel So take the wheel </video> <video> Ouch!
