lyrics

Jerry Marzinsky:
"One of the things we used, the 'That's A Lie' program, that's on my site at jerrymarzinsky.com, so that's free to anybody who wants to put it to use. It's all written up there, how to use it, what it is, how it works... but what they do is, for the most part, they sound just like your regular thoughts. Except their intent is very much different. They hit us all."

I know these two guys, and they live in my head
And I call them Flea and Fred
They live in my mind, but they don't pay any rent
And I'd love to see them dead

When I'm out living life, when I'm laying in bed
When I'm talking to my wife they put these thoughts into my head
And it's the dumbest silly lies, all the things that they've said
They wanna make me lose my mind with hatred, fear, and regret

Like mosquitoes they provoke; they have no power of their own
They might conceal themselves in smoke, but I can see they're just a joke
These motherfuckers are sneaky, can't always trust what I'm thinking
How do I know what's my own mind, when their voices sound like mine?

You are not welcome in this house and I will fucking kick you out
So watch me laugh in your face and call you out on your games
I want myself to be happy, you do not help, you only stab me
That's my health and my energy, go back to hell you are my enemy

And you will never get the pleasure of tricking me into anger
As I watch you fade away, I just blow a kiss and wave
And that's the last thing you will see as I kick you out of me
I'm not gonna let you feed on my constant misery

And that's the last thing you will know. I only listen to my soul
And I am happy and I am whole. You never even took a toll
You taught me who I am by showing me what I'm not
And I thank you for the scam. You silly geese got caught

This is not humankind, this is a virus of the mind
It sneaks inside us, you and I, we need to fight this and unite
They don't define us, humankind, they're just a virus of the mind
They sneak inside us, you and I, just gotta fight them and unite

Jerry Marzinsky:
"They hit us all to varying degrees. They have complete access to your memory. They can pull up any rotten thing you've ever done, throw it in your face, and just keep rubbing it, and rubbing it, and rubbing it until you create that negative emotional energy that they feed on, and then they drain you. They hate being laughed at, they hate being mocked. They're parasites. They're energetic parasites, and they hit us all. It's what drives paranoid schizophrenia, it's the voices, it's not any chemical brain imbalance. So they're out there, they hit us all."

This is not humankind, this is a virus of the mind
It sneaks inside us, you and I, we need to fight this and unite
They won't divide us, humankind, they're just a virus of the mind
They sneak inside us, you and I, just gotta fight em and unite

about

millicow image

millicow Kansas City, Missouri

love.

A style all of its own, inspired by rap, hip hop, synthwave, classical music, heavy metal, black metal, synthpop, and more.

Packed full of finely crafted sounds, textures, melodies, rhythms, harmonies, and conscious, insightful poetry, I translate spirit into sounds that aim to induce states of psychedelic trance and emotional catharsis.
