lyrics

Look at my smile, and my lifestyle, while I fall apart to pieces
Because I lost my head as I stockpile dread and my heart rate increases

Listen to my glee, ‘cause it guarantees that I barely ever breathe in
I’m missing, in part, all the strength in my heart and it cannot take the beating

Used to be, I’d be safe in my dreams
Now I’m afraid

Goodbye, sunshine
There’s no fix to report
There was a shame, that I couldn’t rename
And a sadness that you couldn’t support
Goodbye, sunshine
It was never your fault
There was unrest, that you couldn’t have guessed
Left me broken and a mess by default

See my heart, as it thwarts my restart every day I’m still here
Because the two of us couldn’t heal the cuts, and we never had the all clear

So touch my soul, I need damage control, ‘cause I can’t explain the readings
Just sit back, relax, let me lay out the facts and know I had my reasons

To be safe from my dreams, ‘cause I’m afraid
Every day

Goodbye, sunshine
There’s no fix to report
There was a shame, that I couldn’t rename
And a sadness that you couldn’t support
Goodbye, sunshine
It was never your fault
There was unrest, that you couldn’t have guessed
Left me broken and a mess by default

I can’t stop smiling ‘cause it’s all I ever have
To carry on surviving and to keep the horrors back
But they know where I live and where I try to hide
Please know that I did my best
And I genuinely tried
Yes I genuinely tried

Goodbye, sunshine
There’s no fix to report
There was a shame, that I couldn’t rename
And a sadness that you couldn’t support
Goodbye, sunshine
It was never your fault
There was unrest, that you couldn’t have guessed
Left me broken and a mess by default

about

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
