Eeyore's Lament
Fistula
Cozy to your lies That’s all you got Captain of the ship You are not Burning all the bridges As you walk Make no mistake I will watch you rot Walking cesspool Self loathing And despair Crying to me You don’t have enough But you don’t try Keep on wishing You would die So you can escape And avoid real life Walking cesspool Self loathing And Despair Blech You want lies why? You can’t conceive that disdain But you want more lies No more lies Past is the world you live Default every time Take your life Misery Should have done it long ago But you love misery That’s your thing And that’s why Should have done it Why not try to die Hate me because you can’t handle life’s lies Hate me cause you want worse I can’t

Unforgivable Stench
Fistula
Close my eyes and you run away If I turn my back, you’ll stab it Taking everything you can for me Only to offer nothing Empty promises spew from your mouth And lies pollute the air around you It’s a foul stench Unforgettable Unforgivable Yet here I am Waiting Wanting Mediating for a life I don’t fucking want

Deprevation Anxiety
Fistula
You come out You come out in your darkest hour Hoping to find answers you can’t conceive Wondering why everyone hates you Well here’s a clue Your face It reeks Of stupid Stupid Lies Stupid stories Stupid life Worthless Your darkest hour is self imposed A construct you’ve built for yourself A tiny box For a tiny mind To live in Where it’s safe and secluded Your tiny mind Like a train wreck I can’t look away You delight In your depravity Like a train wreck I can’t fucking look away You delight In your own depravity

Free The Hate
Fistula
Murder Hate Rape Is the worlds desired state Strained To The core They’ll only ask for more and more Face down On the floor Left with nothing Aahhhhh! But hatred Scratching at your door Let it in Let it in Feel the hate From within Can’t stop this hatred And it’s coming for you There’s no way out

Warped
Fistula
Warped mind warped soul You’ve got some fucked intentions and loss of control Your doing favors for me only nightmares achieve Closed mouths Tell no lies Fucking Sore Fucking scared Scarred Used Used Used A subject of abuse Trying to hold onto Something that’s so far gone Unattainable Unattainable So far gone Used And fucking Abused Let me die Let me die Give me peace No more Lies No more lies

One of Ohio’s longest running doom/sludge bands, at it for a quarter century, Fistula are back again with their first release on Mortville Noise. Fistula sound like a bad case of the Mondays, with 21 agonizing new minutes from the Masters of MISERY-CORE, featuring Nate / AxCx on drums this time, with supplemental noises from Larry Lifeless & Steveggs, plus artwork from Sean Linehan, Eric C. Harrison / Grief and Frank M. Oblak. Comes with a logo sticker and a bottle of Tylenol (okay, not really, but you might need a bottle after listening). Limited to 300 copies.
