Take Me Down 04:06
It's not what you feel but what your see Take me down Perpetuating it by degrees Take me down Yes I see what it does to me Take me down It's not a place that I want to be Take me down Try to make them realize dysfunction that is real Every step I take just begs to be denied So hard to see it through the nothing that I feel Hard numb hands without the will to be of use Lifes hard enough with pain like that Three steps forward, four steps back Every breath could be your last But exhaustion enough to make you crack Your friends and family all agree That time and chance is theirs to see Some drag you down, some set you free Very few leave it up to me Every plan's not good enough Take me down Always room to cheat or lie or bluff Take me down Once more into the black Take me down I'm never coming back Take me down Every hard-won cheap success I've never kept as mine Cumulative, to far ahead to see the tide Spin the old punchline until it twists to my design Change will happen with or without my own will Around every corner the unknown lies Benefits often wear disguise Lessons learned from those I despise From the oldest lows to the riches highs What you fear the most can be our guide Codes and sigils to be implied Past mistakes I'll cast aside Emboldened by things once left aside On the mend ready to attack Take me down Premeditate rather than react Take me down Razor sharp and carbon black Take me down I'm never looking back Take me down

Verse 1: We are patient zero/Fuck it all away We are patient zero/A Social Disease We are patient zero/A deadly game we play We are patient zero/Begging for it please Bridge: Drinking lost it's thrill Then smoking lost it;s thrill Then art lost it's thrill Then life lost it's thrill Exploit it/Consume it/Throw it away We are patient zero/Command and obey Verse 2: We are patient zero/There's a plastic island We are patient zero/In the North Pacific We are patient zero/We could move there We are patient zero/Bring more junk to fill it Chorus: Worshipping bureaucracy Tangled like a twisted tree A gilded fetish what you need It's hollow A pale man with a painted face Sells you food with cardboard base Tells you that you love the taste It's hollow I want to be king Fat and starving Drugged and dieing It's hollow 4x

Verse 1: Forgiveness...running to self-seduction Bear witness...habitual in form and function More extasy...pure lunacy Don't wanna talk...just roll with me Bridge: Night after night after day after day after week after week I can not remember The way that we cling on to a dream Like reality is so much greater Splayed Out/Played Out x8 Verse 2: Reach through me...pull out nothing but a handful of smoke My true me...breaks love because love is a joke Ever creeping...never sleeping I'll tie you down...leave you weeping Chorus: Find time for me, and I'll find you Honor to the devil Wavelengths that shift from red to blue On and to the level I see it written on your face Falling farther faster That you could take another place On and to disaster Fall down on your knees, first in careless rapture Oh no brother please, just another fracture I'm not alone

about

Sweatshop Science is the our new EP, and the most straight-up industrial-sounding record to date. Four tracks, dealing with personal and social subjects that we certainly have all heard before, but this time given the mutant Gentleman Loser spin. These tracks have been in the making for a few years now via collaboration over the internet between the two main members of Gentleman Loser, Josh Killcrop, and Morey Anonymous.

This album was originally going to be released as an 8 track album. It will now be released as a 4-Track EP. The remaining other 4 tracks will come out sometime around the end of April as our next EP "Zeros." The record was split into two EPs not just because half the tracks just aren't quite ready for primetime yet, but also by emergent design. As the album moved closer to completion, it became apparent that certain stylistic patterns in the music and the lyrics began dividing the songs into Column A and Column B. Combining these factors with the album's original intent to just be an EP (though, admittedly, originally, a 5-Track one), it just seemed like the best thing to do. Also, that means we got to do more cover art design, which is fun!

This EP, along with the upcoming "Zeros" EP and along with last year's "Fifthsun" EP go together to make a full (like 70 minute long full) album (the proper reordering of the tracklisting I will share on some other day after "Zeros" is released). Though it doesn't end there. We plan (and there is no timetable for this plan mind you, it could take several months or several years) to create two more EPs at some point, each on our own, that can be played ON TOP OF "Sweatshop Science" or as standalone pieces, or, if you wish, crossfaded in and out.

M. Anonymous will work out something more acoustic/natural sounding, while J. Killcrop will do something spaced out and ambient. The overlay EPs will follow the same BPM, key and song structure as "Sweatshop Science", and will likely be titled "Pseudoscience" and "Superscience." We have been talking about doing something like this for years.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this album.
