about

If you want to get out, grit your teeth and bite down on resolve.

lyrics

Blackeyeblue

Hey you, what you gonna do
When your eyes are black and your face is blue
And the oxygen no longer fills your brain
Hey you, what you gonna say
When there is no reason and there ain’t no way
That you’re ever getting out of this alive

No good sitting on the spectrum
When its dark inside
No complaining in a restroom
With your wounded pride
No good planning to escape
When you’re paralysed with fear and apathy

Hey you, where you gonna be
When the time runs out and you just can’t see
That you’re disappearing down below the tide
Hey you, how you gonna feel
When the bones all break and the wounds won’t heal
And the writing on the wall spells out your name

No good sleeping with the devil
‘til he turns on you
No salutin’ by the flagpole
Like the crew cuts do
No good swimming in the deep end
When the sharks are circling to seal your fate

Hey you, when you gonna see
That the world won’t wait and you won’t break free
‘til you grit your teeth and bite down on resolve
Hey you, when you gonna know
That the earth is sick and the seed won’t grow
‘til you suck the poison out and start again

There’s angels in the sky for you
There’s sawdust on the floor for your blood
There’s plenty more in store where that came from
Oh oh The contract signed and binding and its
tight
And there’s really no way out unless you fight!
Unless you fight

Hey you, what you gonna do
When your eyes are black and your face is blue
And the oxygen no longer fills your brain
Hey you, what you gonna say
When there is no reason and there ain’t no way
That you’re ever getting out of this alive X4

SHOTGUN MARMALADE image

SHOTGUN MARMALADE Kingswinford, UK

SHOTGUN MARMALADE: High-energy, rhythmic, dark pop-punk songs payed either as a power trio or solo on an acoustic guitar with plenty of clicks, chops and skanks. Lyrics are humorous, ebullient, ironic and often cryptic, dealing with the darker side of life, usually with foot-stomping accompaniment and an opportunity to ska-pogo for those who so wish. We don't take ourselves too seriously!!. ... more
