The Handler features a middle section that harks back to the title track of Showbiz, and Matt says "The lyrics are almost a question-and-answer with that song."[1]
In this song, the hero of the story realizes that he doesn't want to be controlled[2] and begins to rebel, Matt uses falsetto in this song and it haves a solo riff, the drums are slow and massive.[3] Most likely the heaviest track on the album.
According to interviews and conversations with Musers this is both Chris's and Dom's favourite track of the album. while Matt's favourite track is The Globalist.
Lyrics
Incomplete
I don’t want to be used by others.
I don’t want to be controlled I don’t want to be a cold, non-feeling person. I want to actually feel something
