This is a single from our upcoming debut album. Midazolam is a short-acting potent drug that induces amnesia and sedation. It has been used as a date rape drug and as one of three drugs in a prisoner execution cocktail. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midazolam

lyrics

I’m not a hallucination
Give me the support of the nation
Drowning in promises and wasted ideals
You never won the election

Walk into your stolen office
With the cynicism of a nuclear warhead
Your broken toys are scattered around
But you don’t even notice

But the media without a voice
Only feed us Midazolam daze
And the only defense is your mind
Keep it sharp and ablaze
And like salt to the brain of the insane
I only guard the proverbial time
But you can’t rape the magic out of me
The magic is mine

Yet there’s still beauty in freedom
However meek the idea
Political prostitution
But nothing is ever hidden

Just take your hand off the handle
You’ll drive us back to the eighties
Then we can drink ourselves senseless
There’s no respect for a vandal

But the media without a voice
Only feed us Midazolam daze
And the only defense is your mind
Keep it sharp and ablaze
And like salt to the brain of the insane
I only guard the proverbial time
But you can’t rape the magic out of me
The magic is mine

I’ve got political power
For your crumbling tower
And I’m creating a problem
For your pathetic solution
I bet on public exposure
Of your fragile composure
When you assault people’s treasure
It comes back measure for measure

But the media without a voice
Only feed us Midazolam daze
And the only defense is your mind
Keep it sharp and ablaze
And like salt to the brain of the insane
I only guard the proverbial time
But you can’t rape the magic out of me
The magic is mine

Once we were strangers
Nesting in feathers
Easy to squeeze.

Words carry messages
Inspired by battle
Newfound questions;
Girth in the riff.

Live long but focus;
Every breath is for music.
Fly towards freedom –
Thoughts are contagious.
