Originally released on the album `Taser Revelations' on Song, by Toad Records, June 2016.

lyrics

He gave you everything
for nothing in return
the sweetest bird can sing
but won't define anything

The rebel inside
is just a cipher baby
I will not rise to you and,
You will not lie to me

Submerge yourself into the
river of chance endeavor
Hold on by your skin
and just deny everything

The rebel inside you
is just a cipher baby
I will not rise to you and,
You will not lie to me

A solitary thing
pistons under its wings
The saddest bird can wail
but won't design anything

The rebel inside you
is just a cipher baby
I will not rise to you and,
You will not lie to me

I gave you everything
For nothing in return
I dithered by your side
but didn't learn anything

The rebel inside you
is just a cipher baby
I will not rise again
I will not rise again

I just dithered by
your side, the saddest bird
(He gave you everything,
for nothing in return)

Darlin' woo-hoo-woo-oo-ooh!
