lyrics

Two thousand twenty two and passed out again
And you’re drifting with the stars now
With a faded broken father for a bed
I chewed the bowels of a passive youth
Now I’d pull this wreckage from its starless hell for you
We all crack, there’s beauty in that
And your reflection is perfect for you

And if white noise fills your head
Don’t wake up, and I’ll help you reset

Tear out the notes as you read along
A melody with your own smile on
I beg the stars and I pray to dawn that you won’t think like me

Twenty five years of falling apart
But I died the day that I heard your heart
Once upon a time, I don’t know how this ends
I hate not knowing but I’m hooked on suspense
As I stare into the eyes of an endless youth
I will turn self-pity into harmonies for you.
I’m cracked, there’s beauty in that
But I’ll choke my echo to make something new

And if the whispers say you’re not enough
Take my hand, cause I still have the cuts

Tear out the notes as you read along
A melody with your own smile on
I beg the stars and I pray to dawn that you won’t think like me
Let’s drown the song that I dream for you
And write another with your own world view
I flood my lungs and I scream for you that you won’t sing like me

You keep the beat with every minute
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship
Two glass waves, a crystal blue image
I hear your world flood and my place in it

Tear out the notes as you read along
A melody with your own smile on
I beg the stars and I pray to dawn that you won’t think like me
Let’s drown the song that I dream for you
And write another with your own world view
I flood my lungs and I scream for you that you won’t sing like me

Call Me Malcolm image

Call Me Malcolm England, UK

Razor-toothed, harmony infused, delicately ferocious ska. British 5-piece Call Me Malcolm exploded onto the Ska Punk scene in 2018 with a record described by ska legends Less Than Jake as "a saving grace of the genre." Malcolm's genre blending mastery and intricate songwriting has since crafted “some of the most special, unique, ambitious music in the punk underground.” (BrooklynVegan) ... more
