Her skin whispers in tongues of old
But those words hint at something cold
Innocent and manic in dreams
But it’s not all that it seems
A passing glance that sends a thrill
But don’t you know that looks can kill
She’s got no time for foolish saps
So here you’ll stay in the widow’s trap
Your friends say “she’s nothing but trouble”
But I bet you’ll be here on the double
Candy lips leave you in pure bliss
But her poison traps you with just one kiss
Baby blues in a darkened room
As midnight lovers find her tomb
Sanguine smile paints her face
As ropes keep them in their place
Their bodies burn for her plastic lust
But she just looks down in disgust
Her skin cracks, the polystyrene
She opens her maw with a scream
Your friends say “she’s nothing but trouble”
But I bet you’ll be here on the double
Candy lips leave you in pure bliss
But her poison traps you with just one kiss

Guitars so jagged you could cut yourself on them and sneering spoken/sung lyrics make “Red Dirt” a post-punk powerhouse. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
