lyrics

Heavy hangs the hand at the end of the wrist
Like a pendulum swings and it's clenched in a fist

Locked at home, high alone
Half an empty glass waiting to spill

Strongest is the magnet when trauma attracts
Fragile is the shell held together with cracks

Cold as stone, skin and bone
Wasting breath and past, a grave to fill
Locked at home, high alone
Half an empty glass waiting to spill

Sick and wasting, just a husk to slowly drain
Tears and silence, overwhelmed by darkest pain
Cure or poison, only difference is the dose
Hard to measure with many nerves exposed

Heavy swings the hand when it’s clenched in a fist
Darkest when the pain’s the way you know you exist

Cold as stone, skin and bone
Know they can’t detect you when you’re perfectly still
Locked at home, high alone
Half an empty glass waiting to spill

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
