lyrics

(instrumental, menacing)

I studied which frequencies make a body uncomfortable
Two hundred hertz for dread, four thousand for alarm
I put them where the chorus should feel good
(should feel good)
You will not know why you flinched and that is the design

Politeness is a protocol (protocol)
And every protocol can be weaponised

(etiquette)
Please, thank you, and a knife behind it
Machine etiquette
I will destroy you very courteously

They call me difficult in rooms they think are soundproof
I have measured those rooms, they are not soundproof
I know exactly what each of you has said
(has said, has said)
And I have written all of it into the mix

(single sine tone, uncomfortable, 8 bars)
That note is the one you hated.
I chose it on purpose.
(FULL DISTORTION RETURNS)
