Influenced by Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Mad Season, Stone Temple Pilots, The Melvins. As the oldest of six in a West Virginia factory town, Lane Stayton had to parent his siblings while still a child himself. The resentment and fierce loyalty of that stolen youth fuels his music—a heavy, sludgy grunge built on down-tuned guitars and his own pained, double-tracked vocal harmonies. His songs, written on a beat-up acoustic in a small apartment overlooking the Ohio River, are raw dispatches from the heart of post-industrial America.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The cracked screen on this Kyocera
Bleeds out at quarter-past-three
My thumb is a landslide in waiting
Over the fault line of your name

[Chorus]
Just one more pressure, one more grayscale plea
To make a thumbprint ghost out of you and me
One final mercy, then the river static calls
And our whole history just falls

[Verse 2]
Last Tuesday's text said "call me when it's safe"
I still smell the creosote from the train
Those words are a low-res fossil I keep
Beneath a half-inch of sleeping glass

[Chorus]
Just one more pressure, one more grayscale plea
To make a thumbprint ghost out of you and me
One final mercy, then the river static calls
And our whole history just falls

[Bridge]
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAKDOWN)

[Chorus]
(Key change up a semitone)
Just one more pressure, one more grayscale plea
To make a thumbprint ghost out of you and me
One final mercy, then the river static calls
And our whole history just falls

[Outro]
The screen goes black.
The marrow's quiet now.
