lyrics

VERSE 1
Spinning out of control beneath the world
Where black and blue are up and down
No air left in my lungs
By now I’ve surely drowned

CHORUS
Down at the bottom of the barrel
Still your love is bottomless
The weight of the world is crushing me to a pulp
But it brings my soul to the surface
If I make my bed in Mariana Trench
I’m welcomed to a city that’s lit
Bioluminescence

VERSE 2
The sea is filled with miles of flashing lights
Like fireflies on moonless nights
My soul shines with the rest of them
Flesh and spirit both ignite

about

Rusty Shipp Nashville, Tennessee

Named after the frontman Russ T. Shipp, the band has created a sound known as Nautical Rock ‘n’ Roll. Characterized by its dark, underwater atmosphere, haunting vocals, and unconventional riffs, the music is a perfect fusion of grunge and surf rock, though it is most memorable for the Beatlesque hooks in every single song.
