lyrics

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

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. Rat Ship

Sweatband [EP]
by Sweatband

Amazingly strange garage rock that is so catchy, after their EP plays through, you will immediately listen to it all over again. Hometown buds. Rat Ship
