Choke 05:17
Your obsession With my progression No indiscretion Around Cant replace Copy and paste Same mistakes With your rebound Take the bullet And choke on it I dodged a bullet How’s it taste Take the bullet And choke on it Since you love it How’s it taste tried to catfish I feel gaslit My voice don’t fit As your sound Secrets untold Begin to unfold You’re a cuckold And proud Take the bullet And choke on it I dodged a bullet How’s it taste Take the bullet And choke on it Since you love it How’s it taste How’s it taste How’s it taste How’s it taste How’s it taste Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Take the bullet Choke on it Choke on it On my dick

Can you just leave me a be A shred of dignity Keep your thoughts out of my head I don’t wanna waste my breath I don’t wanna waste my Why is it always be Cut by all your debris You’re a headache I can’t shake You’re a real grand prize sweepstakes You make a great sweepstakes I don’t wanna play your game Hit the target win a prize Fed a smile but feel the same Cant hide the truth in your eyes I don’t wanna play your game Hit the target win a prize Fed a smile but feel the same Cant hide the truth in your eyes Don’t wanna play No more games Cant win your game I don’t wanna play Because you always win Too many plates to spin Got cards that you don’t show It makes me ready to blow It makes me ready to I don’t wanna play your game Hit the target win a prize Fed a smile but feel the same Cant hide the truth in your eyes I don’t wanna play your game Hit the target win a prize Fed a smile but feel the same Cant hide the truth in your eyes Don’t wanna play No more games Cant win your game I don’t wanna play Ladies and gentlemen Step right up, step right up Come see the girl who fell for the same shit once again When will she learn? God, when will I fucking learn? I don’t wanna play your game I don’t wanna play I don’t wanna play your game Hit the target win a prize Fed a smile but feel the same Cant hide the truth in your eyes I don’t wanna play your game Hit the target win a prize Fed a smile but feel the same Cant hide the truth in your eyes Don’t wanna play No more games Cant win your game So I don’t wanna play

Ol' Johnny works pretty hard. He drives people 'round the boullevard. He takes cash and he takes card and tips. When he gets home from a long workday Sheds his shoes cracks a cold IPA. Flips on the tube glued to the display he sips. His tired eyelids droop half closed as he stops thinking. Tasty neurotoxic bubbles coat his throat from drinking. It loosens all his muscles. In the couch his butt is sinking. A talking head spouts BS in hopes of hoodwinking. It's not really fulfilling to do this shit just for a shilling. And it makes me less willing to know a third goes to Uncle Sam killing. People I'll never see I'm told it's to export democracy. And they look bad on TV so I guess it's legit why not trust NBC? Joanne's debt runs pretty deep. But she's sick of loosing sleep. On top of that her boss is a creep, Dipshit. After weeks of being over worked Her boss tried to take off her skirt. She'd had enough said your such a jerk, I quit! Joanne drives away fretting her next occupation. She cranks the volume blasting guitars from a radio station. She pulls up to the bar grants herself a needed vacation. The song is cut off to make room for a suit's half brained oration It's not really fulfilling to do this shit just for a shilling. And it makes me less willing to know a third goes to Uncle Sam killing. People I'll never see I'm told it's to export democracy. And they look bad on TV so I guess it's legit why not trust AT & T? While Joanne knocks a couple back. Johnny learns about a new cutback. He said come on cut me some slack. I'm at my brink. Despite all of his effort. He can tell he's gonna come up short. Might as well just click abort And go drink. Johnny spots Joanne alone at the bar. This is his chance. He buys her whiskey and Joanne asks Johnny if he can dance. They get to talking sharing laughter ‘bout their circumstance. Locking arms they onto the bar shouting out chants. It's not really fulfilling to do this shit just for a shilling. And it makes me less willing to know a third goes to Uncle Sam killing. People I'll never see I'm told it's to export democracy. And they look bad on TV so I guess it's legit why not trust Disney? Cuz Mickey Mouse would never lie to me Except about the happiest place on earth Indoctrinating all the children since birth Pretend it’s harmless, just to entertain When it’s really the tickets to molding our brains We adapt, we get addicted to the convenience Through inaction, condone mistreatment But hey- at least you’re spoiled for choices A media landscape with hundreds of voices All the game, news, shows, and movies you see Come from just five companies The same ones that film with the D.O.D. Ask yourself, where’d you get your reality? They’re all apart of everything we see or read Bite the hand that feeds me poison, make it bleed Copyright that lasts a hundred years But we all look so cute in our mouse ears

Automata 03:52
Getting along Somehow Not 'cause you raised An eyebrow You're well trained Making Skinner proud You've always stayed Just where you're allowed You're understood Well observed Always found Behind the curve Stuck on hold In reserve Keen and primed To subserve Will you ever find the cage that surrounds your mind? Can you even grasp how for your head's up your ass? Automata Humdrum the lot of ya Monotonous Erratum Serrata Carrying on Undisturbed Trying to repeat Things you've heard It's not quite there Your thought is blurred Can't remember What was that word? Easy to hear But hard to reach Blind to your own Visible speech To be reined You'll beseech Pavlov's dog On its leash Will you ever find the cage that surrounds your mind? Can you even grasp how for your head's up your ass? Automata Humdrum the lot of ya Monotonous Erratum Serrata Automata Humdrum the lot of ya Monotonous Erratum Serrata Oh yeah!

Ha Feel the crickets in my neck Hear them chirping in my ears Everything starts to blend I’m Losing my peripherals Feel the crickets in my neck Hear them chirping in my ears Everything starts to blend I’m Losing my peripherals But that’s how I am And it’s who I am wish I never hated a color Cause I was told I should I know there’s no such thing as Discounted damaged goods wish I could forget the color you said I looked good in I know I’m easier on the outside Than I n the in But that’s how I am And it’s who I am And here I am Can crickets swim? Can crickets wim? Today I heard sirens in my head So I took a bath for the first time since I was a kid I dropped in the fizz and it turned pink My pink body in the pink water I could fill my pink lungs to match My pink lobes and my pink mouth Eat the chemicals and smear pink down My pink throat and my pink lips Until my insides are both light gray and pale Pink And a pale pink!

about

Austin’s Social Dissonance comes out swinging with a debut EP drenched in fuzz. On “Choke” they blend punk, metal, grunge, and sludge forcing you to mosh, headbang, or break a guitar until you’re feverishly dehydrated with a rock induced migraine. They weave themes of regret, constraint, and retribution justifying the cathartic shouts laced throughout.
