lyrics

Maybe one day I will get this right
I give you all my broken dreams
And tell you why I never sleep at night
I couldn’t fix myself
But you would always help

Someday maybe I will learn to breathe
I’m bitter, jaded, selfish, faded
An outline of what I would like to see
I’m just a puppeteer, I smile on cue, I hear the truth
But I don’t believe

Gimme stillness and serenity
Gimme depth with full imagery

Tracing the lines that I can’t see
Why do you waste your time with me?
I’ve always been sincere
But I’ve never been here
I hear only you, but I don’t see me

Two a.m. and falling through the floor
I tune out a hundred miles away
What’s another couple hundred thousand more?
Too lost and a little far gone
A brittle self-worth from the life I’ve drawn
I’m home, I just have to hold on

Gimme peace and some tranquility
and meaningful imagery

Tracing the lines that I can’t see
Why do you waste your time with me?
I’ve always been sincere
But I’ve never been here
I hear only you, but I don’t see me

I don’t understand what you can see
Wasting your time when I can’t breathe
Searching my life’s debris
I’ve never been so lonely
Where in hell is me?

Shred the instinct, start the restring
You don’t owe me anything
I’ll fix myself, my twisted health
I’m so low and I know it well

Tracing the lines that I can’t see
Why do you waste your time with me?
I’ve always been sincere
But I’ve never been here
I hear only you, but I don’t see me

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
