about

Domenic is a self-described juvenile lifer. You'll learn he was a musician and planning to record a demo of his own when he got wrapped up in corporatist punishment, where he may reside for the rest of his existence. Dive explores this existence, and challenges others to see it, as they may only turn away, cower with embarrassment, or looming threat of further subordination. Thank you, brother Domenic.

DIVE words by Domenic Coia

DIVE ON IN, HOLD YOUR NOSE
VIEWING ALL WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED
VOICEOVER MONOTONE
CATCH COLD WITHOUT SUGARCOAT
I KNOW - I KNOW
YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW

AS YOU’RE NODDING YOUR HEAD
WAIT TO GET IT DONE, YOU’RE GETTING SCARED INSTEAD
WHAT GREATER FEARS ARE AHEAD

WHY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING
TO ONE MORE LINE YOU’RE IGNORING
IGNORANCE IN
YOU'RE STILL NOT EVEN THINKING
YOU’RE JUST PROGRAMMING
TO THINK IS INSUBORDINATION

AIR HOLES IN THE FRESHNESS SEAL
STUFF YOUR ESOPHAGUS BEFORE YOU SQUEAL
STOMACH ROCKS YOU ON YOUR HEELS
WRETCH YOURSELF UP WHERE YOU KNEEL
THE WAY THE WORLD MAKES THE WORLD FEEL

REGRESSION IS PROGRESSION
NOWHERE IS WORSE THAN WHERE WE ARE
