Mist 04:42
A mirror lonely on the wall it hasn’t seen anyone for so long As mist rolls in blindness attacks Our lives blurred out yours left intact Hope had left years ago for what made this go so wrong As mist rolls in blindness attacks Our lives blurred out yours left intact As mist rolls in blindness attacks Our lives blurred out yours left intact A chair dusty, but unused, it hasn’t seen any bum for so long As mist rolls in blindness attacks Our lives blurred out yours left intact

Forbidden 06:24
Work behind a bar in town all the time Drunks and punks they like my face Especially, Andy Arouse me, arouse me, arouse me, I’m falling for you Arouse me , arouse me, arouse me you are forbidden Folk might judge Looking at us Age is just a number mother might be scared Arouse me, arouse me, arouse me, I’m falling for you Arouse me , arouse me, arouse me you are forbidden Smokey breath when he comes Dirty words whispered in my ear Arouse me, arouse me, arouse me, I’m falling for you Arouse me , arouse me, arouse me you are forbidden Forbidden you are Forbidden you are

Awful Deed 05:46
Awful deed Closing our eyes We cannot see What I'm faced with This misery My hands are cut By your dirty blade Falling I'm weak and wish I could fade Beside you let me bleed I'm broken let me heal Forgiveness awful deed Your frozen heart My paused soul Liars and cheats Watch my fallen foe Breath on my neck Kisses on my lips Make love to me and you won't regret Beside you let me bleed I'm broken let me heal Forgiveness awful deed Forgive no one Forgive no one Beside you let me bleed I'm broken let me heal Forgiveness awful deed

I don’t wanna feel your body that’s how I feel today The ball of light came through the tunnel for the youth Glowing brightly in front of their eyes Talk to me baby I’m forever down I’m in hell everyday In this fucked up world The old woman scratched her dirty nails on the window glass Scaring the poor boy to his death Talk to me baby I’m forever down I’m in hell everyday In this fucked up world I don’t wanna feel your body that’s how I feel today

On the cold old bathroom floor two strangers scared and sore wondering what’s going on they think it’s part of a con Dying alone Is so much more greater greater greater than this game Dead bodies grossly rotting beside them while they’re squatting to see what they can find A tape for them to rewind Dying alone Is so much more greater greater greater than this game In life there’s a piece that is lost To find it might have a cost Say goodbye watch them die Say goodbye watch them die In life there’s a piece that is lost To find it might have a cost Say goodbye watch them die Say goodbye watch them die Dying alone is so much more greater than this game Love me Axe me Love me Axe me

My mind is on the blink Should I drink another drink Murder on my tv This green is stoning me Stoning me Stoning me I can’t roll, I can’t roll, I can’t roll, I can’t roll My eyes are massive now Only I know how Travel out of space Appear to leave no trace I can’t roll, I can’t roll, I can’t roll, I can’t roll I can’t roll, I can’t roll, I can’t roll, I can’t roll Flames of anguish surround Brain-box volume drowned Coins for useless shit Push me in the pit Push me in the pit
7.
Cover my eyes with black Behind these broken cracks Helping me will seem pointless now For the devil will not allow Creature of torment and pain Somehow sneaks above And hid inside my soul That’s why I can’t fall in love Throw it in the bin Behind this wall lies sin D I’m thriving to experience it You can’t fuck for shit Creature of torment and pain Somehow sneaks above And hid inside my soul That’s why I can’t fall in love He hides away sometimes Tranquility in my mind Without word or warning The bastard creeps up from behind Creature of torment and pain Somehow sneaks above And hid inside my soul That’s why I can’t fall in love Creature of torment Can’t fall in love Creature of torment Can’t fall in love

Mother I cry for you in my darkness Addiction affects the ambition One more sip on the lips To damage which I can manage One last drink One last drink One last You curse you stink you think of girls With no idea of our lord A lion must be Dutch right One last drink One last drink One last Mother, father, mother, father Father, mother, father, mother The limit has no sell by date Jizz out your eyeball My nose is rather itchy One last drink One last drink One last Mother, father, mother, father Father, mother, father, mother

about

An enthralling combination of male and female driven vocals, blended with exhilarating fiery riffs, and distinctive psychedelic phrasing in a fresh and ultra-intriguing take on the doom stoner genre.

Taking influence from Black Sabbath, Sleep, High on Fire, and Hawkwind, The Rhubarb give us their own take on the doom stoner genre.

The record is an utterly compelling journey of the senses which has been deftly crafted.
