DOORBELL 03:25
I look forward to the sweet rejection Torment my mind I’m here to listen And I know the facts are true, The timing’s wrong and in- just too I search to find someone that’s ready A kick in the gut and now I’m steady Spiral carpets and wooden beams So nice to see you, where the hell have you been? Just gubbed a few to get me out of the way Now all the windows are made of lemonade All at once it just hit me so hard I cannot feel my legs or my arms How silly of me, don’t measure it out (yeah) I think I’m falling, oh I think I’m falling, Froze on the bed I hear the doorbell calling I think I’m falling, oh I think I’m falling Saved by the bell it was calling, it was calling Set apart I feel so alone I fit in nowhere and nowhere feels like home My sick brain can confirm for me here, I’m the terrible person that I fear Inhaling lines of –WAIT WHAT CAN I HEAR? Ding dong, ding dong All at once it just hit me so hard I cannot feel my legs or my arms How silly of me, don’t measure it out (yeah) I think I’m falling, oh I think I’m falling, Froze on the bed I hear the doorbell calling I think I’m falling, oh I think I’m falling Saved by the bell it was calling, it was calling Ding, dong, ding dong, All at once it just hit me so hard I cannot feel my legs or my arms How silly of me, don’t measure it out...yeah....UGH

STEALING 04:14
I’m a good kid making bad mistakes Will you smile at me while I sit and wait Take my shoes and I’ll follow you Strip me of my dignity, that’s the truth How does it feel to be so low? Messed up now more than before Stress so high, reap more than I can sew Told my tv box to go and get us more blow Now I’m floating on a sofa Way up high supanova All I ever do is try, time again and every time I do not want to be alive But I carry on, nevermind Only last night we were fine Now you come along and change your little mind Never understanding why This happens all the time Today I’m emotional I’m all pent up now and I’m feeling low And I don’t know why it’s so Like my head’s screwed up and I’m all alone This is nothing personal To state claims away from a public home But I’ve never seen a hearse before Till you showed up in your monotone It’s dark and I’m looking back at Disgrace it’s a big contrast that Manufactures all the facts Look at the dead at the drop of a hat And what the hell do you think of that? The head of our country is a potent rat Scrape away the dirt and would you look at that Wiped the whole city flat In a great big mass "So tell me what you saw today An emotional mess or in ecstacy?" I don’t know what’s wrong with me I've no time for a doctor to care for me I’m pleading endlessly To stop this feeling relentlessly I cannot think only make me bleed Is this the end at last I see? How does it feel to be so low? Messed up now more than before Stress so high, reap more than I can sew Told my tv box to go and get us more blow Now I’m floating on a sofa Way up high supanova All I ever do is try, time again and every time I do not want to be alive But I carry on, nevermind Only last night we were fine Now you come along and change your little mind Never understanding why This happens all the time

NOVEMBER 03:58
Very high, falling from the sky Try to memorise the time Hypnotised by your eye It was November, Your eyes were wide Like spaceships or the moon In the pale midnight Side by side Silently, comfortably No anxieties, and no worries I felt alive but the feeling was only for the night Smoke after smoke, line after line My heart and mind were open But now they’re in confusion As I crash down from the sky No parachute or net in sight I smile and then I close my eyes Ready to die with you on my mind Despair in my dark defeat I speak to people that I cannot see A dark dimension, a different scheme Life is ending how can this be? Apocalypse in the deep dark depths Blink time away and now you’ve left Afraid to sleep unless I run out of breath But my biggest want after all in death I cant control my mind anymore We were one for a second and now you’re gone I feel like I’ve lost everything that I adore You were the one thing that didn’t make happiness a chore Judge me as much as you really can As I isolate with my contraband End things now for I am torn Every day’s a mess now that I’m alone As I crash down from the sky No parachute or net in sight I smile and then I close my eyes Ready to die with you on my mind It was November, Your eyes were wide Like spaceships or the moon In the pale midnight Side by side Silently, comfortably No anxiety, no worries I felt alive but the feeling was only for the night I felt alive but the feeling was only for the night. As I crash down from the sky No parachute or net in sight I smile and then I close my eyes Ready to die with you on my mind

ANTISEPTIC 06:39
Apocalypse, apocalypse Look in my pocket and I’ve spent all my money, spent all my money Is this it? The end of this? Close my eyes and see that I’ve spent all my money I said I’d take time to go and get some space But I found the only thing I did was lie and waste Crossed the line before and now I’ve broke the chain As hard as we can try I know we’ll never be the same And I know it’s down to me Grab my arm, make me bleed Suffocate, I cannot breathe, why are you avoiding me? Give me reason, give me time this is a burden that even I cannot hide was there a reason you told me to never stay alive? There’s safety in words, but there’s none in mine I cut myself real deep to get peace of mind Hungover again but never satisfied It’s like my brain transcended to a different time Apocalypse, apocalypse Give me some of that antiseptic Should I not even waste my time To set a routine and do it right Tidy myself up and then it’s fine Pretend nothing is real and it was all in my mind So I took the blue pill that you gave me, I crushed it up and snorted it daily Suddenly I didn’t feel so lazy But the version of events in my head was hazy Looked at the time but that was all Now my feelings are pent up and I can’t recoil True words from my mine painted on y skin With a Stanley blade over a bathroom sink Impossible to read them when they’re white But I’ll open up to you when the time is right My doctor told me to stay alive but I’m afraid even he isn’t on my side! Took it back to square one And I wrote on the walls in my blood for fun Looked at the stains but I wasn’t done It’s all my fault that I’ve become someone There’s safety in words, but there’s none in mine I cut myself real deep to get peace of mind Hungover again but never satisfied It’s like my brain transcended to a different time “I know a way to heal your wounds, I’ll put a plaster over you” Antiseptic princess pink Nurse to all my troubled things Lain beside you late at night You don’t know this but I cry Sacred holy serenity Only comes with your company And when I think of times anew As long as I can stand by you The storm is long but we don’t tire The game goes on but we climb higher And when our time doth surly come We will show them we have won Bask in the marvellous victory MY LOVE FOR YOU IS SO FREE Apocalypse, apocalypse Give me some of that antiseptic

RUTHLESS 03:57
Broken windows made of broken glass Come when I see the morning sun, and then A split reality, taking over me There’s no normality In this pure insanity I’m feeling twice as nice I’m feeling twice as older I’m feeling twice as kind As I bury you six feet under Am I losing, Oh, am I loosing myself? Looked in the mirror and It was somebody else I heard the sirens and I ran for my life Took me a second but I didn’t think twice I caved your head in like a pile of ice Knocked your two knees down And it didn’t look nice “they were chasing me, I swear” they were all holding knives and slicing the air their faces ugly, pale and fair like a half dead animal with zero hair “oh you’ve got to believe me please this is the truth, I promise that it wasn’t me” the gang went away behind the tree said they’d kill the boy for ‘nothing but free’ I’m feeling twice as nice I’m feeling twice as older I’m feeling twice as kind As I bury you six feet under Am I losing, Oh, am I loosing myself? Looked in the mirror and It was somebody else I’m broken, I’m useless Manipulate me and I’m ruthless I’m broken, I’m useless Manipulate me and I’m ruthless I’m feeling twice as nice I’m feeling twice as older I’m feeling twice as kind As I bury you six feet under

I know it hurts, it’s hard to say But everyone learns in a different way I’ve said too much, I overstayed So in the meantime, come what may I cannot sleep I feel so lonely I cannot speak It just consumes me Blank look away You did not see this, No one can know that I did it I hope you find some comfort in these words I’ve spoken After all, this is your 5th amendment Terrified, stare into needless eyes No need to justify, This is your 5th amendment I know it hurts, it’s hard to say But everyone learns in a different way I’ve said too much, I overstayed So in the meantime, come what may I feel so sad Sick and frustrated Feeling inside I cannot live with Numb to my legs, I topple backwards I can’t believe I’ve just done this I hope you find some comfort in these words I’ve spoken After all, this is your 5th amendment Terrified, stare into needless eyes No need to justify, This is your 5th amendment Now I’m sitting here thinking in the bedroom with bars The guard outside he simply tells me that it’s ‘fully alarmed’ I weigh up right and wrong, and troubled things All measuring out This is my right’s I’m fully armed This is my I hope you find some comfort in these words I’ve spoken After all, this is your 5th amendment Terrified, stare into needless eyes No need to justify, This is your 5th amendment

about

Do you ever feel like a prisoner to your own mind? Has lockdown given you too much time to think about past mistakes? Innocent Until Proven Guilty is a six song EP exploring the themes of overthinking and holding yourself prisoner for things you think you can never be forgiven for. Though written and recorded in lockeown, this collection of songs isn’t about the pandemic, rather a world created to escape the chaos. These upbeat alternative songs show a new side to Dissenter that captures the feeling of being in a nationwide prison sentence. When all you can do is overthink the days away, blame yourself and wait for your verdict, it’s a comfort to know that by law everyone is Innocent Until Proven Guilty
