it's decided
it's inside of me
congratulations
social engineering
while we wax and wain
we stake our claims
how we jumped our chance
later thinking
all we have is time and how it's wasted
looking for something you can take
i've the solution
step right this way
but nothing you can keep
here forever
into your soul I'll creep
coming clean always ends up messy
we lost our weapons
now we are buried at sea
where were we?

verbatim vertebrae
severed architect
bared witnesses
behind bars
invasive species
padre says he wants peace
don't believe narco speak
they flood your streets with their misery
actions opposite of who we truly are
touch and go but the numbness stays
liquid has replaced the smoke in our lungs
i'll sink into this bed with my eyes open

tell me why
they can't see
gonna scream
til my eyeballs fucking bleed
mass subversion
terrorizing lies
we've been conditioned
to fuel our own demise
we won't feel a thing
because its crippling
we've got to keep our distance
because there's too much riding on this
and if we never change
things will always stay the same
we've got to keep our distance
because there's too much riding on this

modeling in the mortuary
this clock has no hands
deceased priest prays to meat
unknown to man
machines replaced our bones
never happy with how we looked
peeled back and departed
we've come so far from where we started
the twins ought to be muzzled
ornamenting the omega
this clock has no hands
caving in under a sticky mass grave
unknown to man
washed into my brain
pierced into my veins
told me I cannot sleep
in a room where no one sees
in a room where no one sees
in a room where no one sees
but me
gnawing
biting
screaming at the walls
hold your tongue
for the corpse is crushed in the gears
wormed from the filth of the crowded serpents chants
can't look back
don't close your eyes
you bought in
now take the ride

deep in your heart
link in the chain
spanning through time
never ending
possess the stillness to allow reflection
isolated and mulling, for yourself
looked at anything lately?
put it down to take a breath
this is never how it was supposed to be
they masked the cost
the nights were blinding
recoil over and over
forward facing Scicilian smile
their wax brains have melted
"We're all set in death, not just dead"
this cataleptic loss
has garnered my attention
isolated and mulling, for myself
a contorted figurine
with waxy flexibility
mind fucked
they don't seem to know
they don't seem to know
mistrust
we are all alone
we are all alone
no one's
coming to clean it up
coming to clean it up
the despot is now despondent

you know you can
but you don't
you know you should
but you won't
why try
who cares
into the void
into despair
are you walking the line
are you losing control
are you losing your mind
is it taking its toll
our skin sagged
after the cops bit our hands
dragged out
in doubt
of who to trust
they're all rust
conflicting claims
outlets maintained
ultimately drained
interrupted fire
contain the spread
misinformation wired
these heads are fed

fleshy foreign webs
chaotic human creature
"For God's sake look at the state of my curtain"
stains inside an empty body bag
this crisis at a stand still
breathing salted solutions
dtalking shallow rivers
with a shaved head
never wander further than the bridge
trying to make sense
rationalize
all I see is bullshit
all I hear is lies
coincidences
cease to exist
(when) nothing's of consequence
(and) nothing's to be missed
taking refuge
in helicopter shells
forged cherry wires
veined the fuselage
mutations smashed between glass
disrupted ease
now this love is lost
signal's weak we're shutting down
prey to be born or formed

Rat Ship recommends:
This is All Starting to Make Sense
by Radradriot
Exceptional guitar/drums noodley duo. Keep an eye out for our split cassette tape coming out in January!
go to album
Can't say enough great shit about these dudes. Atmospheric meets heavy and crushing. Some of our favorite guitar riffs and drum sounds. DEFINITELY get into these guys.
go to album
Amazingly strange garage rock that is so catchy, after their EP plays through, you will immediately listen to it all over again. Hometown buds.

Another kickass effort from the Toronto punks, steeped in the traditions of straight edge, post-hardcore, and ’90s alternative rock.

The Seattle band's ferocious third album balances rapid-fire hardcore with catchy songwriting.

Nothing Moves Me
