about

People are starting to notice some strange things, portents of disaster waiting in the wings.

lyrics

Summer’s dyin we all can smell it
Somethin weird in the air this year
But I think we should talk about it
People sayin’ the end is near

Don’t care about the Revelation
Only words in a book I don’t read
But I sense a great tribulation
Chewing up through the dirt at our feet

Did you hear that a girl lilled her landlord
Tore a hole in his throat with her teeth
Or That thing at the lake by the graveyard
All those fish washing up on the beach

All’s I know gonna leave all the lights on
Cuz I don’t wanna feel so alone

I don’t jnow what I’m so damn afraid of
But I think it’s on it’s way home

I don’t think that I can remember
Such a dread in my heart as I’ve had
Since the middle of thiss past September
When I thought things were gonna get bad

But it’s been such a heavy quiet
Nothing more than the whispers I hear
Trying not to disturb the silence
As we wait for the ghost to appear

Did uou see in the news ‘bout the children
Getting bit by their teachers at school
Just a day past the meteor showers
And the cannibal rats at the zoo

I don’t know what I feel at the moment
Should I run should I hide should I stay

But I think that I’ll probably ignore this
If you ask me all I can say

I won’t turn around
Somethins creepin up
I don’t hear that sound
Somethin’s creepin up
Just pretend you cannot see it
Watch tv and don’t repeat it
Somethin’s creepin up
Reaching out to drag us down
Somethin’s creepin up

Inevitability freezing me, seizing me
Numbing out the imminent danger
I know is real
Whatever is happening I believe
It’s almost upon us now

I won’t turn around
Somethins creepin up
I don’t hear that sound
Somethin’s creepin up
Just pretend you cannot see it
Watch tv and don’t repeat it
Somethin’s creepin up
Reaching out to drag us down
Somethin’s creepin up
I can see the bloody writing
On the walls no use in hiding
Getting closer by the hour
Something wicked to devour
To devour us
Somethin’s creepin up
To devour us
Somethin’s creepin up

The Obliging Victims Cincinnati, Ohio

The Obliging Victims is a band of one—the brainchild of Cincinnati musician Kelley Kombrinck (vocalist/guitarist for longtime Cincy band “Pike”) who writes performs and produces every aspect of the dark psychedelic rock project.
A blend of sixties and seventies rock refracted through a prism of modern influences (grunge, LA psych scene, doom) to create a fuzzy, lo fi, psychedelic trip. ... more
