why must I suffer through this broken and bleeding heart that helps you until it comes back to haunt me. why are you looking at me like i got all the answers. when your skin sores got maggots, i'm not the one to blame. i can't see clear enough to make any incissions, but i need this transplant from my defective heart. i can't help you find yourself, or help you find your way, i need my own bandages to keep me from falling apart. i'm not your padded wall, i'm not your plaster cast, i'm not your silver spoon, i'm not your smokey tube. i'm not your medicine cause i'm too sick myself.
2.
we’re all lost in repeating days, circling through these dead cycles. disconnected. misdirected. i’m overwhelmed with who i am. tumbling over forward facing, shit shoveled into our feeding trough. we are not in a very good place, drunk on dreams… let’s get drunk on dreams.
3.
are you sleeping, right behind me? or are you ready? load up for the ride. put your red scarf on and let's go killing cats in dreams. cuddle up for warmth while we are hitchhiking to New Orleans. everybody watch your step, just get back and turn around. everybody watch your step, get back, turn around. could you just wake up and take another breath again? could you wake up? cause, i don't want to bury a friend. i don't want to bury a friend.
4.
when i was little i got beat up and picked on all the time, but there were never ever marks to prove the pain, just a scared heart and just a scared ego, you got to look deep to see this pain. i know, im not... i'm not stupid. i have this piece that's been missing all my life, it's a piece in the shape of a heart and it leaves this black hole for everyone one to see thru, but they still don't see me. i know, blah blah blah... iknowwhatloveis. i know somethings but i can't seem to figure out the rest, so i'll just sit, stare into space, growing older, growing dumber, losing purpose and going numb. i'm losing purpose and going numb. i know you, but you know nothing.
5.
i can't fit in the gapping hole of what you want in your control, and I'm not sure if i see anything coming out of this or that. i've been so low and living underground now everything seems so far gone. i've been solo and living underground now everything seems too far gone. this is so hard, it's been so hard, i just need to get away... this is so hard, it's been so hard, i just want to fade away.

about

RAT BABIES destroyed Ellijay, Georgia with sludgy doom, and you can reenact it with your very own listening device! These live cuts (and one of our absolute favorite studio tracks as a bonus) are taken straight from the void that Rat Babies opened in the Gilmer Arts Playhouse in July of 2023.

Analog Revolution and CassettesFor.Me are absolutely thrilled with this collaboration, and we hope you can enjoy the sonic decimation, too!

Side A:
Medicine
Drunk on Dreams
Side B:
Bury a Friend
I Know
Hard

You can listen AND watch RAT BABIES Live from Ellijay right now on New Ellijay TV.
