Ebb/Flow 04:17
Brighter souls have stripped me of my worth. Tangible, yes but only at first. Broken nails, tear mere holes in my earth. Bottomless, and strange visions they birth. Waking dream, a mirage of what was. Fooled to think that it won't end in blood. Hold on tight to someone. It all flows away. Don't fear how I'll die someday. My life's been a fruitless waste, and I long to see you again. The ebb and flow of the waves in the sea... Paints her picture, only to mock me. I await... her return at the shore, Know in my heart... This realm holds her no more. I long for the other side. Hold on tight to someone. It all flows away. Don't fear how I'll die someday. My life's been a fruitless waste, and I long to feel you again.

Goon 02:38
What keeps you propped up like a man? Is it the way you talk 'round friends? Boys who laugh with hidden hands You hear it when you climb in bed The voices echo in your head Know what you did, know what you said I know the truth You'll get what's due There'll be no mercy here for you Karma knows not sympathy Bring me the head of the clown Stuck on a pike o'er town Crows nest in his crooked crown I know the truth You'll get what's due There'll be no mercy here for you Karma knows not sympathy

Storm Pill 03:06
I feel dark clouds approaching Their clang rings a vengeful omen And I know why they speak in frantic whispers They don't want me to know So take the storm pill You don't have to feel anything real Just close those grey eyes ...and I was falling asleep Just as soon as my head hit the ground There's something happening to me But I think I'll keep it down And I was lost in a dream I had no will to be found My jaw clicks My skull, it drips I need someone to save me from myself Stepping over black snakes in coitus I stop to stare, they don't seem to notice And I know why they chose to let me watch them They want me to know... So take the storm pill You don't have to feel anything real It's just your time to die ...and I was falling asleep Just as soon as my head hit the ground There's something happening to me But I think I'll keep it down And I was lost in a dream I had no will to be found My jaw clicks My skull, it drips I need someone to save me from myself

She drove me home after the fire went out And showed me her silver gallows We talked until our moon came out And reflected in the shallows I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light I never gave you in life and All of the mournful gather 'round This silver noose I hang from still And when you finally cut me down Don't bury me in the garden We both know nothing will grow there And I need old dirt to roll in I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light I never gave you in life and All of the mournful gather 'round This silver noose I hang from still And I'll swing for the rest of my days It's okay, I found rhythm to sway

Reviews:
-----------

"This band rocks a flawless show with so much style I can’t help but grin ear to ear while watching them do their thing. They’re incredibly fun, super talented, and excellent song writers. You may hear a little influence from the likes of DEP and Mastodon, but Moon Tooth brings it all together in a unique way that makes it their own." - METAL INJECTION: www.metalinjection.net/av/10-awesome-underground-bands-you-need-in-your-life

"Moon Tooth draw heavy influence from Torche, Mastodon, Baroness and the luck, but they somehow manage to make it sound completely original while feeling so, so familiar." - Metal Sucks - www.metalsucks.net/2013/08/27/unsigned-789/

"Gut-thumping prog and punk influenced metal that effortlessly blends the high-adrenaline and technical virtuosity of The Dillinger Escape Plan with the snarl of Mastodon." - Good Times Magazine

"The energy just spills out of Freaks in a raging torrent of sounds, battering the ears and daring you not to dig it. It’s impossible not to be drawn in by the sheer exuberance on display here." - The Sleeping Shaman - www.thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/album-reviews/m/moon-tooth-freaks-digital-ep-2013/

"The primary ethos of Moon Tooth is clearly infinite, indefinite, indifferent Energy. This record is chock full of piss and vinegar and there is no rest for these wicked young lads. At all times their music screams, "now now now now."
-Salty Speakers. saltyspeakers.com/reviewsnews.html

"Overall, you can tell that arrangement, complexity, ultra-tight performances, a clean production and just plain catchiness were well thought out and the end result is nothing short of brilliance. Go listen to this band, especially if you are looking for something new and interesting." - The Sludgelord. thesludgelord.blogspot.com/2013/09/moontooth-freaks-ep-review.html

"Upon first encounter it is apparent that "FREAKS" is bursting at the seams with vitality and energy, and never slows down for the entire ride." - Sputnik Music. www.sputnikmusic.com/review/58948/Moon-Tooth-FREAKS/

"It's fast, heavy as the earth itself, melodic and strikingly beautiful, all at the same time..." - Review of FREAKS EP by Norwegian site DEN DRUKNE SKALD - dendrukneskald.com/2013/07/25/moon-tooth-freaks-ep/

" It was like all hell breaking loose at the church congregation's annual picnic. Bodies scattered and ran for cover as the band put Clifton on notice. It was a jaw dropping set that took my jaw right out of it's proper place and to the clubs unwashed floor." - live review of Dingbatz show 5.1.13 by James Damion // unitedbyrocketscience.blogspot.com
