lyrics

-Toeing the Line-
from in this hole it always looks the same
and the clocks, they never change
watch the paint dry. stagnant like our lives
bathed in the dirt and dust as our bodies rust
i can’t see the point in trying anymore
i’d rather just fall to the floor
so let me atrophy let me grow thin
with no ambitions left to believe in
remember a time when life was more alive
before the hopes we had all just withered and died
but now we have the ending in our sights
and struggle to find the will to stop just toeing the line

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 4 fans who also own “Toeing the Line”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
