Sound The Alarm Roach-clip rusted in the rain It don't grip the same Only got myself to blame Resin coats my brain I lost sight Someone shut my eyes Shut my mouth Whispered lies Sound the alarm my brain’s on fire Sound the alarm I'm getting higher Baby don’t you care about me? Or am I just a scene in your scenery? Another rose in your rosary Another arm in your armoury Help me Watch out for my pop! Clay pipe roasting in the sun Nothing left for anyone Finished it before I was done I can't find no fun I can't see someone shut my eyes Shut my mouth and then whispered lies Sound the alarm my brain’s on fire Sound the alarm I'm getting higher I got my red light on I got my siren on

about

"This was my first single recorded last century with my band Proper Id. The tale of The Id is a long and strange one for another day, the day I finally release an album culled from our live gigs. This version is from a decades old cassette tape found in a shoebox, in a closet. Hiss galore and sonic bumps but the energy of a young alt. pop-punk band comes through. Damn, I wish I could record with these guys again!" - Lach
