NOTES
$ cat /releases/root-protocol/notes.txt # how this one came together
started with an 8-bar loop bounced from reaper, then proceeded to overcook it for longer than was reasonable. lyrics are mine. spent the same kind of time on the video — kept iterating until i couldn't tell if the next pass was improving anything or i was just exhausted enough to think it was. eventually shipped because the alternative was shipping nothing. one of those tracks the about section warns about: in the loop too long, lucky to make it out.

01 Root Protocol
Bang my head, don't calm me down Rage in the blood, burn through the sound Teeth on glass, knuckles go red Better keep back or I lose my head Black out, black out, walls start to shake Every little voice say break, break, break Doctor said "breathe"—I spit in his face Anger's the fire, I like the taste Bang my head, don't slow me down Pulse in my skull, bass shakes the ground Teeth on glass, knuckles go red Better keep back or I lose my head Smash it up, tear it down No chill, no peace in this town Grin too wide, eyes roll black Laugh while the fuse burns down to crack I count to ten, but the count gets lost Every deep breath got a violent cost Zen went missing, calm ran dry So I bite my tongue till the blood runs by Break it, break it, break it down Rage goes up, don't come down Spit it, spit it, spit it out Anger's the only thing I'm about Bang my head, don't calm me down Rage in the blood, burn through the sound Teeth on glass, knuckles go red Better keep back or I lose my head Tick—tick—tick—BOOM Anger dancin' naked in the room Tick—tick—tick—snap No way forward, no way back Kick drum heartbeat, veins on fire Claw through the walls, climbin' higher Laugh through the pain, grin through the crack Anger's the fuel, no turning back Therapy's late, I don't got time Patience broke down, crossed the line Mirror got smashed, floor got stained Anger's my doctor and madness remained Bang my head, don't calm me down Rage in the blood, burn through the sound Teeth on glass, knuckles go red Better keep back or I lose my head Bite down—blackout, bite down—blackout Burn slow—let go, burn slow—let go Scream loud—cut throat, scream loud—cut throat End it—restart, end it—restart
