CraftBeerJoe So happy to have found another kickass Memphis band with at least one female member. So much energy. So much groove. Impossible not to have a good time listening to this band, especially live! Favorite track: Vanessa.

Can someone tell me What I should do when I grow up? 'Cause no matter how hard I try It feels like I can't figure it out Five hard years of work For some stationery Now all I wanna do Is hit the ground running Chorus: I don't know where I'm going But I wanna go with all of you Please just stick around 'Cause you're the only thing I can't lose Don't know where I'm going But I wanna go with all of you Please just stick around 'Cause you're the only thing I can't lose Let's start fresh 2020 I can see it clear We'll begin again But maybe I'll wait till next year Everyone's moving away And I'm just trying to stay sober But where do we go When this party is over? (Chorus) I've been to more funerals than I've been to weddings How do we move along when all our friends are dying All my friends keep dying All my friends keep dying All my friends keep fucking dying I don't know where I'm going (All my friends keep dying) I don't know where I'm going (All my friends keep dying) I don't know where I'm going (All my friends keep dying) I don't know where I'm going (All my friends keep fucking dying)

It feels like we're going back in time Why can't we just have our basic human rights? I thought we're all supposed to have a choice Unless you got a pussy, then they'll never hear your voice (They'll never hear your voice) Chorus: Don't act like you're better than us We can't be controlled, we've finally had enough Screw your old, rich, white misogyny 'Cause anything you can do, I can do bleeding (Yeah, I can do bleeding) I'm tired of being told I'm too emotional I refuse to let these pricks be in control You had a choice when you decided not to pull out Yet I can't choose if I wanna be a mother or not (A mother or not) (Chorus) Yeah, I can do bleeding Anything you can do, I can do bleeding Try walking in our shoes for just one fucking day The cat calling, constantly fearing being raped What happened to separation of church and state? My body is not an object that you can dictate (That you can dictate) (Chorus) Anything you can do, I can do bleeding x4

Slow Motion 03:52
I'm singing about butterflies And thinking of you I wanna see you soar so high Above the trees Chorus: And these feelings rush within me Almost takes my breath away I don't know why, but I can't stop grinning I guess I'm finally fine, yeah, I'm fine I saw you dancing on that Wednesday Stargazing without a care I saw them blushing with glowing envy But they can't stop us here (Chorus) Never felt like I belonged anywhere Always walking in slow motion Until I breathed your sweet, fresh air Your touch like a soft, warm ocean I'm singing about you And it's giving me butterflies (Chorus) Please don't take me Back to reality
4.
You know that I can be a little sensitive And I know that you didn't mean to make me sad again But you know that sometimes I just need to hold my tongue And I know you were bluffing when you said that we were done Chorus: I wasn't looking for a fight But maybe actually I kinda was I thought I knew myself better than this I guess that what happens when I drink too much You know that I can be a little argumentative And I know that it's so easy for you to get sucked in And you know that I love you more than anything And I know that's why we should just stop fucking drinking (Chorus) Let's not do this again All those words I said, you know I never meant Let's not do this again Why can't we just quit and forget it ever happened? (Chorus) And I lost control And I drank too much But I had enough So I gave it up

Drained 03:16
Trapped inside these corpse colored walls Looking up as our ceiling starts to fall Everything is collapsing around me I wanna write, but the ink is disappearing Chorus: A blank page never looked so white My fingers are moving but I've forgotten how to type My knuckles cramp from my grip around the pen It's hard to put words on paper when the world starts to end I go for a walk to get some clarity But I'm scared that someone will stand too close to me Take another hit and sink into the couch Trying to forget what's going on right now (Chorus) Staring at the empty pages Something within me rages Yearning for inspiration But I have no motivation The fire is burning outside So we all just sit and hide Just wanting to make a change But right now I am completely drained (Chorus)

Vanessa 05:05
Driving through the darkest of night My turn to pick, so what's the theme tonight? Cruising through the middle of nowhere We lost service, but I've got my best friends here Pre-Chorus: Seeing nothing but green and white Don't look in the rearview at those headlights Can't turn back now 'cause load-in's at nine Soaring through outer space on this perfect high Chorus: And oh, Vanessa take us anywhere Oh, Vanessa anywhere but here Oh, Vanessa take us anywhere Anywhere but here A guy kicked us out of his costume shop He got on his moped and we just flipped him off Driving through that Jack in the Box Skating all night, we're never gonna stop (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) I don't care if I lose my voice I'll scream my lungs out Leave behind that nine to five Hear the engine roar, I feel alive Roll up another blunt Can't see through that thick smoke We know that E has got the wheel Flying in this hunk of steel And oh, Vanessa take us home Oh, Vanessa take us home Oh, Vanessa take us home Take us home

about

Lipstick Stains Memphis, Tennessee

Punk rock started as a mode of rebellion and confrontation. It also started as a lot of loud noise. Memphis band Lipstick Stains are going to give you a dose of both. Dissonant, jarring, ferocious–the band barrels through explosive punk rock that does not shy away from a socio-political message as well as touching on mental health, addiction, self-esteem, and equality. ... more
