Don’t rush it now
The rain just stopped, not the world
I’m still breathing in the leftover sound
Of yesterday stuck in my throat
I don’t need a sign
I don’t need to win
If it’s starting here
Then it’s starting again
Every laugh i chased
Every name i wore
All the things i wanted
Just sharpened my core
This is the bitters end
No sugar left to pretend
I walk it off, i stand
With dust still on my hands
Yeah this is the bitters end
Not broken, just bent
I don’t need it clean
I just need to move again
Sirens cut the morning air
Trains scream past like they don’t care
Buildings rise half-finished still
Guess that means there’s time to kill
A stray cat sleeps in the street
Like the world ain’t asking a thing
I’d stay right here a little more
But i’ve got somewhere i gotta be
They can laugh it off
They can look away
If they don’t hear me now
I’ll make them someday
This is the bitters end
No sugar left to defend
I walk it off, i stand
With rust still on my plans
Yeah this is the bitters end
No medal, no amends
I don’t need the odds
I’ll hit back when i swing
Call it luck, call it fate
Call it noise, call it hate
If nothing lands, it’s fine
I’ll be the one that breaks the line
This is the bitters end
I don’t slow, i don’t bend
Still standing wrong
But standing as i am
Yeah this is the bitters end
Not over, just ahead
No clean escape
Just another step instead
Don’t rush it now
It just began

THE BITTERS END
THE RUST BORN
EGOMANIA is the definitive sonic statement of THE RUSTBORN. This seven track EP is a relentless exploration of self obsession and unyielding resilience, stripped of all unnecessary ornamentation. From the explosive opening of BACK IN THE GAME to the desolate silence of THE BITTERS END, the album captures a man burning his bridges and standing amidst the ashes. No overdubs and no synthesizers, just the raw collision of steel, rust, and soul. It is not just an album, it is a monument to the absolute ego.
Artist Profile
THE RUST BORN
THE RUSTBORN is a raw garage rock project defined by its Code of Iron. Adhering to a strict minimalist philosophy consisting of no multi tracking, no electronic sounds, and no outside interference, all tracks are recorded in a single take. With whiskey burned baritone vocals, distorted guitars, and primal rhythms, THE RUSTBORN strips rock and roll down to its jagged core. This is the sound of a man standing alone against the noise of the modern world, proving his existence through a single unfiltered roar.
