The Catheters
The Catheters were a punk rock band from Bellevue, Washington (Seattle area) that originally formed as a 4-piece in 1995 (Brian, Derek, Paul, and James who soon swapped bands with Dave and joined Damaged Goods), playing hardcore punk in the vein of Black Flag and The Circle Jerks. Over the years toured several times with bands such as Sparta, Mudhoney, Run Run Run, Division of Laura Lee, and very often with the Murder City Devils.

Over the years toured several times with bands such as Sparta, Mudhoney, Run Run Run, Division of Laura Lee, and very often with the Murder City Devils.
Before signing to Sub Pop, The Catheters added a second guitarist in 1998 (Lars) and started culturing a more dirty, 70s glam-rock sound as heard on their eMpTy Records releases. The records sold well and gained them the attention of larger labels, such as Dreamworks and Sub Pop. Paul and Lars left the band in 2001 for other projects, and The Catheters' long-time roadie Leo joined as bassist. In 2002, they scored an indie hit with the song Nothing from Static Delusions and Stone-Still Days and its accompanying music video. After a couple more singles and heavy touring in 2002 and 2003, the band released the excellent album Howling...It Grows and Grows!!! in 2004, using all their former sounds and infusing them with aesthetics of classic rock. The Catheters played their final show on October 15th, 2004 with a big blow-out at Seattle's Sunset Tavern joined by friends The Vells and blackbelt (who played some old-school Catheters covers), ending the show with a mass sing-along to Fake ID that degenerated into instrument destruction and a minor brawl. The band dissolved amicably, with the former members, with the exception of Derek, going on to form the band Tall Birds.

Nothing
The Catheters Lyrics
Will you ever see my pain
Will you ever break these chains
I am destined to live life
With turmoil and strife
I'm the one who makes you fear
Yet I'm the one who drowns in tears
I'm the one who scars my wrists
I'm the one with clenched fists
See the nothing in these eyes
See the one in here that cries
Ask me once and I'll die today
Left alone to fade away
Drifting apart from my future goals
This heart is now shot up with holes
Deceived by what socially stands
To fit in this world with lying hands
What makes you so free
That life is taken carelessly
Can you make sense of me
'Cause through my eyes I can't see

Smoot
No website currently has any official lyrics for this song so I typed out what I heard, hope this helps:
I bathe in the rays of yours
Emanated from the backtone
Falling over with a golden tongue
Exercised in rotation
I wanna crawl inside these vibrations
Slippin into my mind
Rock me asleep with desert dreams
Split throughout my bedroom
When I feel like shit
Nothing cures like this
Nothing fits like this
Nothing feels as perfect
(x2)
I devil through a spiral pathway
Headed for my new home
Same filthy shades of blue
A feeling that I'll never know
I want to connect
I want what you protect
I've gotten in too late
I can be any tempting friend for you (?)
Nothing
Nothing fits like this
Nothing
Feels as perfect
Nothing
Nothing fits like this
Nothing
Nothing feels as perfect
I bathe in the rays of yours
Emanating from a backtone
Falling over with a golden tongue
Exercised in rotation
I wanna crawl inside these vibrations
Slippin into my mind
Rock me asleep with desert dreams
Split throughout my bedroom
When I feel like shit
Nothing cures like this
Nothing fits like this
Nothing feels as perfect
