Dreaming of Screaming

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the pillow
Nails in my back
I wake up choking on shadows
With your name like a thumbtack
Crawling out of my rib cage
Something hissing my sins
Every breath feels borrowed
Every night caves in
[Chorus]
Dreaming of screaming
But my jaw won’t move
Demons dragging me down
Through the cracks in the room
Dreaming of screaming
With a mouth full of mud
Demons dragging me down
Through the marrow and blood
[Verse 2]
Ceiling’s dripping those faces
Same grin every time
They know the weight of my secrets
They drink ‘em like cheap wine
I try to run but the floor melts
Like a tongue made of tar
Every step gets slower
Every door too far
[Chorus]
Dreaming of screaming
But my jaw won’t move
Demons dragging me down
Through the cracks in the room
Dreaming of screaming
With a mouth full of mud
Demons dragging me down
Through the marrow and blood
[Bridge]
Who lit this black sun
In the center of my chest? (hey!)
Who keeps sewing shut
Every restless breath?
If I claw my way awake
Will they follow me out?
Or am I just a hole
Where they crawl around?
[Chorus]
Dreaming of screaming
But my jaw won’t move
Demons dragging me down
Through the cracks in the room
Dreaming of screaming
Till I’m swallowed in rust
Demons dragging me down
Till I turn into dust

Swampy, down-tuned sludge rock with male vocals; rusted blues riffs over a crawling, distorted bass; drums swing loose and menacing, with roomy, grimy reverb. Verses stay hushed and venomous, chorus erupts with blown-out guitars and layered, ghostly harmonies. Occasional feedback wails and tape-echoed vocal tails deepen the haunted, psychedelic weight.
