    Our third full-length, from 2008! Encased in a comparatively Earth-friendly digipack, even though there's still some plastic in it. Also, the disc itself is non-biodegradable and will last thousands of years in a landfill, where it would eventually be discovered by future anthropologists unsure how to play any sort of physical media whatsoever. Whaddya gonna do.

lyrics

Floating in the poison lake
Your scarecrow won't intimidate
Throw me in, toss me away
I can hold my breath 'til Judgment Day

You locked me in and you said
You locked me in and you said
You locked me in and you said you'd lock me in again
You shot me full of the meds, the Thorazine and the Lith
You shot me full of the meds, you thought I'd never forget
You locked me in and you said
You locked me in and you said
You locked me in and you said you'd lock me in again
You shot me full of the meds, the Thorazine and the Lith
You shot me full of the meds, I'm gonna never forget

Face down in a lake, bloated by the sun
He had the stolen plans, not fooled by anyone
Face down in a lake, bloated by the sun
He had the stolen plans, not fooled by anyone

You shut me out, you shut me out
Don't you know that I'm a sane man
You shut me out, you shut me out
Nickels dimes and an accident

You said I don't have a clue
You said I don't have a clue
But I have been imbued with skill to see right through
You said I don't have a clue
You said I don't have a clue
But I have been imbued with skill to see right through
You locked me in and you said
You locked me in and you said
You locked me in and you said you'd lock me in again
Don't threaten me with the dead
Don't threaten me with the dead
I've got the plans in my head, I'm in this until the end

You shut me out, you shut me out
Don't you know that I'm a sane man
You shut me out, you shut me out
Nickels dimes and an accident
You shut me out, you shut me out
But you've spread yourself too thin
I'm gonna fight my way back in

Never tell the schitzo where the money is
Never tell the schitzo where the money is
Never tell the schitzo where the money is
Never tell the schitzo where the money is

Throw me in, toss me away
I can hold my breath until you let me in

You shut me out, you shut me out
Don't you know that I'm a sane man
You shut me out, you shut me out
Nickels dimes and an accident
You shut me out, you shut me out
But you've spread yourself too thin
I'm gonna fight my way back in
