about

A thrash metal track that's essentially a massive fuck you to influencer and celebrity culture. This song has a long history; it's actually over a year old- it was planned for a whole other EP (closer to an album) it was purposefully a more experimental EP, even more than this, with not just different sounds, full on different genres, and it was also where I started experimenting more with my Industrial influences. Something happened and I lost all my progress and work on those songs, but Right Between The Eyes was the one song I never gave up on, I love this song, so much so that I named this EP after it. I find that musically, this is a much better home for this song.

lyrics

Your empathy is a lie you conceive
So the broken have something they can believe
Acting like your're some kinda gift to the world-
You're just a hack and a sham who has a public forum

Surround yourself, with your legion of 'yes-men;
As you control and infect the lives of women
I hope one day that I see you in hell
When it's time for God to toll your bell

I don't need your fallacies
I don't need your sympathies
Comfort from a self-serving hypocrite
Is more worthless then a mountain of dogshit

When You Meet your end, it will come as no surprise
On that day when you get yours right between the eyes

I see you shill mercy as you tell 'em why
Then push out another product they get to buy
It's all a show, just a filler for text books
Every penny that you earn you spend on your looks

Such a pretty face, and expensive hairline
Procedures and surgeries really make you shine
I'll look you dead straight in your eye
You're someone that deserves to die

I don't need your fallacies
I don't need your sympathies
Comfort from a self-serving hypocrite
Is more worthless then a mountain of dogshit

When you meet your end, it will come as no surprise
On that day when you get yours right between the eyes
Not a tear will be shed when you meet your demise
On that day that you get yours right between the eyes

You suck the systems dick
Makes me fucking sick
You play their little game
Sign away your name
Dignity for fame
Never will reclaim
Say they got your back
Silence the attacks
Hide the booze and the drugs
Have a talk with NBC
Give a smile and a hug
Write your apology
say your sorry, sign an autograph and when the camera stops
Just turn around, walk away and motherfucker laugh!

I've seen your story a million times
Hometown underdog with stars in their eyes
Had big dreams of making the scene
Just to get one shot, and never be seen again

You sold your soul, and everything you know
Just to have one chance, to taste the gold
Maybe 20 years from now you'll get a VH1 special
But the truth is God already rang your bell

I don't need your fallacies
I don't need your sympathies
Comfort from a self-serving hypocrite
Is more worthless then a mountain of dogshit

Trapped in chains, of your own creation
You thought this would better your situation
Now you understand; rock and roll ain't what it seems
This nightmare was once your dream

When you meet your end, it will come as no surprise
On that day when you get yours right between the eyes
Not a tear will be shed when you meet your demise
On that day that you get yours right between the eyes
