Calm as a Bomb 02:44
lyrics

When the cause is lost think it through And the anger builds up giving way to the hate Then you stop and pause taken back Standing with the devil looking straight in your face Lick the wounds of tragedy act like nothings happening Set it off the whole things gonna blow We’re gonna light up the fuse and then run for the door Set it off the whole things gonna blow Light that fuse and run Debt is gone take it back And all that’s left now is the pain of disgrace You done nothing wrong but it all went black Still some how you got blood on your face Lick the wounds of tragedy act like no Set it off the whole things gonna blow We’re gonna light up the fuse and then run for the door Set it off the whole things gonna blow Light that fuse and run I’m as cam as a bomb I’m as calm as a bomb I’m as calm as a bomb I’m as calm as a bomb I’m as calm as a bomb I’m as calm as a bomb I’m as calm as a bomb I’m as calm as a Set it off the whole things gonna blow We’re gonna light up the fuse and then run for the door We’re gonna set it off the whole things gonna blow light that fuse Gonna set it off the whole things gonna blow We’re gonna light up the fuse and then run for the door Light that fuse light that fuse and fucking run

Galactic Cannibal 03:28

Another aberration fighting your denial Cannot face the rapture of truth all the time Forever decimated one that will defile A galactic cannibal will swallow all your hope Safe in a vault everything that you want Holes in the soul can’t be filled all at once Gotta lacerate it before it can define you You cannot let the attachment of ropes be the tow that pulls you under What if I could show you eating all the matter A galactic cannibal will swallow all your hope Safe in a vault everything that you want Holes in the soul can’t be filled all at once Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your Run for your life Safe in a vault everything that you want Holes in the soul can’t be filled all at once all at once Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life Run for your

Walking Rocks 02:17

Mind melding moving stone They walk they crawl the earth Like walking rocks with rope They move just like the tide Dig a mine to the sky will I find another kind Prototype prototype gonna die gonna die Get lost out here in a cosmic tide Misshapen skull and bone Absolute magnitude Like popping tops we fall The break will shape our life Dig a mine to the sky Will I find another kind Prototype prototype gonna die gonna die Get lost out here in a cosmic tide Gonna die gonna die Just place my body inside the clay Release in the fall release in the fall release in the fall release Dig a mine to the sky Will I find another kind Prototype prototype gonna die gonna die Get lost out here in a cosmic tide Gonna die gonna die Just place my body inside the clay

Infanticide 03:44
lyrics

How long how long Will the bloodline feed on violence How come how come All the new blood is a threat What’s wrong what’s wrong With your voice because your silent Fall down fall down As you try to raise the dead So brutal And futile infanticide Not coddled No sorrow the young must die To conquer grow stronger it’s justified Repentance acceptance the mother cries False hope false hope gives way to your deception Although although All the time you live in fear Don’t go don’t go Where the wolves will eat your children So broke so broke When there’s nothing left to heal So brutal And futile infanticide Not coddled no sorrow the young must die To conquer grow stronger it’s justified Repentance acceptance the mother cries

Bleeding eyes unfold the note Reconcile whats bleeding out Eat the pain by candlelight Among the gods you feel alive Seconds are a rodeo Riding out eternal life Make the change against the grain The coffin holds no nails tonight Help me Hope tonight get the feeling of immortality Can’t deny this is dangerous Comatose come back down to reality Bleed the host until your fucking done Angels fall without disgrace walls of fear we hesitate Spiral out falling up nothing falls unless above Hope tonight get the feeling of immortality Can’t deny this is dangerous Comatose come back down to reality Bleed the host until your fucking done Wading out endure the pull recognize the undertow Climbing out a grave untold Reborn again without a soul Help me Hope tonight get the feeling of immortality Can’t deny this is dangerous Comatose come back down to reality Bleed the host until your fucking done Hope tonight get the feeling of immortality Can’t deny this is dangerous Comatose come back down to reality Bleed the host until your fucking done

Neanderthal 04:23
lyrics

Beginning of time the planets aligned in the pleistocene era Undulating earth opened up to its birth and swallowed the sun Ground starts to shake creating a quake as life starts to perish Astounding event as the planet wept reborn from the flood Way up out there There’s a crack in the sky A bludgeoning force And it’s on its way Time to pay your debt now With the one above Will it be your time to go Or will you survive Wait it out as ashes fall Wait it out as ashes fall Waking up when it’s all over Waking up when it’s all over Bring on the horror bring on the pain Starting to fray breaking away All that will follow time to regain Nothing will break just lead the way Must find a shelter One that will keep it away All of your thoughts now Running to keep you alive Wait it out Wait it out Wait it out Wait Wait it out as ashes fall Wait it out as ashes fall Waking up when it’s all over Waking up when it’s all over Bring on the horror bring on the pain Starting to fray breaking away All that will follow time to regain Nothing will break just lead the way Must find a shelter One that will keep it away All of your thoughts now Running to keep you alive

about

“F@#k yes. That’s heavy s#!t!! The drums!! Wow, great dynamics. My two faves are “Walking Rocks,” killer guitar hooks and dynamics. Also, “Galactic Cannibal” great vocal hook!! But man, that drummer is crazy! Great music.”

-Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam)

“These Squirrel Hands are just like punching us in the face man. They’re heavy. I love it. I did not expect a band with the name Squirrel Hands to be this awesome but they are pretty damn killer. Highly recommended.”

Steve Migs (On-Air Personality. BJ and Migs morning show. 99.9 KISW “The Rock of Seattle”)
