"My Head and a Vice" was originally a track on Umbrella EP #2 known as "Hands." That limited CD release was packaged and released by the band and has long been out of print.
Sunset Alliance encouraged Umbrella to combine EPs #1 and #2 to remaster and release on a large scale. This was done New Years Day, 2019 and officially released under the title "I & II," accompanied by new artwork conceived by DPJ and designed and crafted by Sam Salima.
lyrics
Two lament and argue for a time
I heard that it was true once,
Let the misconceptions of past aggressions pass
Or it’s sock in mouth or it’s a sock in the mouth
Sink deeper, think deeper
It’s my blood for fame and it can’t be contained
Cough it up, yes laugh it up
Just sink, just sinking
I feel like my head’s in a vice
I can’t see the answers, I can’t see the answers
I can’t think
But they’re all so deceiving and gang up on me
If I could think, I’m claustrophobic, I’m catatonic ,In retrospect it’s
Five to one, five to one laughing at me
They don’t know my plan,They don’t know my strategy
It’s my fight for fame
Do I really bleed that much
Laugh it up, yes cough it up
Who said it, you might want to know
Who said it, you might want to know
You said it and play innocent
Do you regret it oh oh.
