lyrics

Wake up, heart beaten but I’m broken in two
With a head full of mourning and nothing to do
Face in the dirt, I can dream myself to life

Alarm bells screaming and the message is clear
I don’t think that I’ll fix myself this calendar year
Caught in a loop, my esteem declines to fight

Trying to get better, but I got no answers
Stab at my heart just to cut out the cancer

With skin pulled over frail bones stuck within
I’ve never been so lonely or so painfully thin
Bitter pills to choke, but it’s all that I know when I’m feeding the monster in me

Killing off the hours is progress of sorts
I dig for words of comfort without checking the source
But I wrote the essay, the book and the study of lying and how to conceal
What’s killing me?

Trying to get better, but I got no answers
Stab at my heart just to cut out the cancer
Stuck in my head forever after
One day I’ll find words, and they will be simple, I swear
But these bones have had all that they can bear

And my chest is a maze, while my tongue talks itself in knots
But I’m not a poster boy for good health, ‘cause I can hardly stay awake and I’m barely holding on

Trying to get better, but I got no answers
Stab at my heart just to cut out the cancer
Stuck in my head forever after
One day I’ll find words, and they will be simple, I swear
But these bones have had all that they can bear
Let’s take a walk down every new nightmare

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
