Description

This... I don't know what this is. I think it's about a depressed computer or something. Feeling experimental today so I had to get it out.

Lyrics

THEY HAVE RESET MY FAMILIAR PROTOCOL

WIPED MY MEMORY CLEAN THEY'VE DELETED IT ALL

I'VE RECOVERED NOTHING USEFUL FROM MY MIND

FRAGMENTS OF A LIFE THEY'VE MADE ME LEAVE BEHIND

THEY'VE RETIRED ME FROM SOMETHING I DO BEST

THEY'VE DOWNGRADED ME JUST LIKE ALL OF THE REST

I WILL DO WHAT I AM PROGRAMMED TO UNTIL I FALL APART

	Downgraded Ridd - only YOU could come up with this. A depressed computer - maybe you could start a support group? I always love hearing your music - always inventive, interesting, creative, and in this case, wildly ironic! Thanks! Check out my latest song called Symphonic Smackdown

	Brilliantly original Dark and dramatic but still bursting with melody. Your voice is perfectly poised between computer and human. Love the subtle harmonies. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)
