lyrics

Shaking off the dirt and all the rot I missed
I’m gonna dig me out
Better fix me first, the manic egoist
Before we tear this down
Because I hit the body but the head won’t die yet
This only ends one way
A white shot to the gut and a bullet for the mindset
I drop my shame

As I kill myself
But it’s so damn hard to tell
Screaming whoa
Riding a one way bullet to hell

Enough of all my defects, let’s talk about you
And my pedigree
Gimme the themes, and the narrative too
Until they’re just remedies
With a heart outpoured cause I played my mistakes
I’m beyond regret
I’m smart I’m sure, but I score my heartbreaks
And I’m not dead yet

So I kill myself
But it’s so damn hard to tell
Screaming whoa
Riding a one way bullet to hell
And I swear I tried
But I’m hard to recognise
Screaming out whoa
Cause I’m so damn tired inside

Just one more coffee and pill
Just one more question to go
I need to know who I killed
This cannot be all there is
There must be details I missed
Just bag the body and tell me that I don’t exist
I’ll find myself in the dose
Capitulate I suppose
I had no choice but to drown out the echoes and ghosts

So I kill myself
But it’s so damn hard to tell
Screaming whoa
Riding a one way bullet to hell
And I swear I tried
But I’m hard to recognise
Screaming out whoa

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
