	Story Behind the Song This song was written in response to a situation that we frequently notice: people (usually guys, I'm sorry to say) endlessly complaining about a lover yet persisting in staying with them. Thus our protagonist here berates her angellic idol for his shortcomings, i.e. what she sees as his preference for misery when he could be happy with her. This song originally had a much more "spacey" sound, but we decided that aggression would be much more appropriate. We are particularly happy with the guitar sound in this song, given that it is computer-generated. The poetry sample (read by me) is taken from "The Clod and the Pebble" by William Blake. Lyrics Craving for stability Why cant you finally put out the light? Closed-in domesticity Why wont you come and celebrate the night? Wearing chains submissively Why wont you massacre the queen of spite? Sell your soul so carelessly Why cant you cut away your parasite? Chorus Call yourself a master But you are just a slave Thinking youre a rockstar When drugs are all you (really) crave Giving up so easily Why wont you ride upon the wind of black? Blaming it on destiny Why cant you find the will to turn your back? Dying voluntarily Why cant you see all of the things you lack? Stealing pleasures secretly Why wont you cut her leeches off your back?
