THE BITTERS END

THE RUST BORN

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.
