***Lyrics***
Kicking the gravel that cut the curb from the cattle,
and in the shadows I wait, to catch a snake on the ladder.
Rather the vultures are patient because they know that I’m weak,
and they’ll be circling above until my blood’s on their beaks.

Twenty four karats got people talking like parrots,
and we inherit the motive to chase the top of the totem.
I told them wealth isn’t relative when you toss in the grave,
and in the end you’ll just be sleeping in the bed that you made.

Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff.
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff.

Granted the damage we sip the blood of the planet,
without a panic we wait, to cut the cake with a splatter.
Rather the salary swinging is bringing men to their knees,
or the brutality is taking people’s lives in the streets.

Under the thunder of the American wonder.
Where global hunger was born to cut the corn by the quarter
and hord the borders in order to make a buck from a foreigner,
and shut the reporters in corners with oceans warmer and warmer

Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff.
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff.
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff.
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff.

Kicking my courtesy when the bitches are burning me,
and I’m bleeding the burgundy but I don’t take it personally.

If the chickens are chirping me I just throw them a smile.
(If the chickens are chirping me I just throw them a smile)

keyboard solo

Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff
Now I wonder if I gotta keep my questions on the cliff

Questions on the Cliff

Having beguiled us on their sprawling 2015 EP Gallows Humour, Rootwork make a welcome return with the release of EP Some Of Us May Never Bloom, out on 18th November 2016 via Ubiquity Project Records.

Creating a sound that is as brutal as it is harmonic, Rootwork have embraced many of the elements of modern metal music perfectly taking the listener on a journey through metal, stoner rock, prog, post-hardcore and doom-pop over five faultlessly comprised songs. Rootwork immediately set their stall out on opening track ‘Trust’; hefty guitar riffs are intensified by pointed vocals, flawless harmonies and a booming, incessant drum beat. While ‘Ozymandias’ is like being lost in a sonic maze, riffs twisting and turning throughout, as Rootwork pulverise their way through just over six minutes worth of mesmerising melodies, before closing with a gorgeous dream-like outro. Intelligent, challenging, explosive yet intricate, and technically gifted, Rootwork are a band whose resonance should be felt throughout the alternative rock community much like contemporaries such as Baroness and Torche.

Comprised of Max Woodhams (guitar, vocals), Jamie Benzine (bass, backing vocals) and Chris Booth (drums, vocals), the band formed in Farnborough towards the end of 2013 having come together through their mutual love of heavy, melodic and complex rock music. In December 2015 they released their first full length EP picking up support from the likes of Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing. With the wind in their sails the band quickly followed the EP release up with single Code Talker with the video premiering on Team Rock. Now, with a new EP set for release towards the end of 2016 and a number of tour dates in the works, Rootwork are aiming to end the year on a high.

Some Of Us May Never Bloom by Rootwork is set for release on 18th November 2016 via Ubiquity Project Records.

Some Of Us May Never Bloom

Trust

We're writing, recording, and releasing a new song every month in 2016. This is September's song. 

Released 28th September 2016.

The world is a gumball 
Put it in your mouth 
Always seems so sweet 
Until the taste wears out 
Until the taste wears out 
Until the taste wears out 

Alone in the fairground 
Feeding the machines 
A prize you didn't want 
A game you'll never win 
And in the dark something 
That wants to keep you in 

What do you say when they ask where you're going? 
What if your words just turn into nothing? 
I was right there, other side of the mirror 
How do you sleep, are you tired, are you dreaming now? 

The girl is a monster 
Here in the sideshow 
The last of her kind 
Full of fear and hope 
And ideas of her own 
Penny for a throw 
This is what you chose 

What do you say when they ask where you're going? 
What if your words just turn into nothing? 
I was right there, other side of the mirror 
How do you sleep, are you tired, are you dreaming now? 

What do you say when they ask what you wanted? 
Trying so hard but it all turns to nothing 
I was right there, staring out from the mirror 
How do you sleep, are you tired, are you dreaming now? 

'Cause mine is a bed of nails 
Mine is a bed of nails
