Estrogents, Grutch Records' debut band, put the song "Romance Pumpkins" on this compilation. It's from their self-titled debut "Estrogents." Quite the inventive album name. estrogents.bandcamp.com/album/estrogents
lyrics
Feel the autumn leaving from my eyes
Head begins to rot
Roots start growing deep into the ground
Breathing something I should not
Fingers crawling from beneath the pit
Arms that I control
Legs are longer, and a little spit
Drooling on my clothes
You can talk to me, but I don't have a head
Lest you give to me while laying in your bed
This heart I grew for you while laying in the dirt
Has taken hold my pumpkin head
Nighttime comes, light candles in my skull
Walk safely to your home
You hold my hand, I wish that I could blush
Over this skin and bone
You give me once a kiss right on the cheek
And I walk home alone
Back to the hole, my body lay to rest
My head cut full of holes
This heart I grew for you while laying in the dirt
Has simply shielded me from fear of getting hurt
As the light in my head burns out amidst the cold
A baseball bat cracks through my brain
