Hate The Way (You Love Me)

I love to think about the way we used to be
There was never enough of you for me
That dragon I’ve been chasing I can’t seem to find
It’s just a dream of misery all it seems to be

I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me, you drugged me
I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me, through this life, you drugged me

My skin is crawling and I feel I’m falling back on you again
I can’t seem to escape this pain
How can’t I break it, Now that I’m wasted
I wanna taste you one more time

I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me, you drugged me
I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me, through this life

I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me, you drugged me
I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me through this, through this life
You drug me, through this life

Hate The Way (You Love Me)

"Liar"

You always tell us that you'll be there when we need you
You like to play these stupid games before we feed you
And you keep telling all these stories that you can't prove
And you're blaming everybody else except for you

Everytime you open up your pretty mouth
I try to listen but there's nothing comin' out 
you're just a liar

And I just love it when you tell your little stories
And people never question why it's never boring

You always hurt the ones you say you really love
And you wonder there's no one who can trust you liar

I call you a liar yeah I'm callin you a liar (X2)

People talkin' all this change
Well Beck and Hannity and Limbaugh Say it's all the same
Why don't you try to take a chance and tell the truth
Not everybody in this world is out to get you


Liar

"Bent"

You act like I don't listen
Well I don't (anymore)
You said that you would be there
But you won't (anymore)

Broke, you've bent me (you wanted to break me)
Broke, bent me (you wanted to hate me)
Broke, bent me (you wanted to break me)
Broke, bent me (and now I'm breaking)

You think that life is fine you always
cross the line you walk between the drops you do
You think that I should turn the other way
and let you do the things you do


You've bent me now I'm broken
I'm brokte

Broke, you've bent me (you wanted to break me)
Broke, bent me (you wanted to hate me)
Broke, bent me (you wanted to break me)
Broke, bent me (and now I'm breaking)

Bent

"Shadow"

I walk along the fence, Live between the lines
Through guilt and innocence, Reinventing alibi’s
Cause you know me, But do you see my shadow

She was the girl next door, Just a casual fling
Now she’s lying on the floor, And I swear it wasn’t me
You know me, But do you see my shadow

Two people died that day, Haunts me all the time
I’m the one who walked away, A witness to the crime

I know me, Can you see me
I know me, Now all I can see is my shadow

Please don’t look at me now, 
oh don’t look at my shadow

Not really sure where my sanity went
Now my conscience is guilty but I’m innocent
Never really wanted to be like this
Now I walk among you I barely exist
I’ve been running away it’s from my darkest side
Where my body is free but my soul cannot hide

Shadow

"Hate The Way"

I love to think about the way we used to be

That dragon I’ve been chasing I can’t seem to find
It’s just a dream of misery all it seems to be

I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me
I, I hate the way you love me
I hate the way you drug me, through this life

My skin is crawling and I feel I’m falling back on you again
I can’t seem to escape this pain
How can’t I break it, Now that I’m wasted
I wanna taste you one more time

Hate The Way

"Fear Itself"

See no evil though it looks you in the eye
Does the darkness send a chill down your spine
I dwell inside you, I demonize you
I criticize you, I’m the fear inside you

Hear no evil though it’s screaming in your ear
Does the silence make you bundle up in fear
I dwell inside you, I demonize you
I terrorize you, I’m the fear inside you

You can’t hear you can’t speak 
you can’t see how this defines you
The silence the darkness
The voices all paralyze you
I dwell inside you, I demonize you
I terrorize you

Speak no evil though the voice is in your head
Testifying as you lie awake in bed
I dwell inside you, I demonize you
I criticize you, I’m the fear inside you

You know I’ll find you, I’m your biggest fear
I paralyze you

Fear Itself

"Make Up Your Mind"

Speak your mind, Truth or dare
Seek and find, Or do you care
Left or right, Black or white
Run away, Or stand and fight
Kneel and pray, Grab a gun
Find a way, Or will you run
Take the reins, Lead the way
Change tomorrow, Starts today

Left or right, Black and white
Run away, Or stand and fight

Hey kids what do you hear
It’s the sound of the boots drawing near
Hide in the attic you’ve been left behind
Make up your mind

Kneel and pray, Grab a gun
Find a way, Or will you run
Take the reins, Lead the way
Change tomorrow, Starts today
Make up your mind

Make Up Your Mind

How would Blistur be described? Like the love child of Pink Floyd, Tool, Metallica and Rush, Blistur is the tattooed Mohawk Man in the three-piece suit.

Chris Kellam along with Neal Gupton founded Blistur in 2005.

Chris is from Columbia, South Carolina and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. Surrounded by music influences in his family he went to school at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Florida to enhance his already established talents. 

Chris then moved into the technical side of music in the studio starting as a recording engineer and becoming a full fledged producer. He's recorded and produced all the Blistur albums with co-founder Neal Gupton.

Most recently, for the past 5 years, along with playing in Blistur, he's been teaching voice, guitar, bass, piano and drums.

After moving to Jacksonville from Saint Augustine Florida, drummer Neal Gupton heard about guitarist/vocalist Chris Kellam as being THE guy all the bands wanted to have in their lineup. After seeing Chris perform it was obvious why the whole city felt that way. 

In the mid 2000s, the two finally got the chance to work together. The mindset of both artists was the same and they immediately connected personally and musically. 

After working with two bass players the first few years with some success, renowned bassist Vince Jones moved from New York and joined the band. The band has skyrocketed in popularity and the songwriting has flowed seamlessly.

The band has since written, recorded and self-produced 6 studio albums, including a Christmas album, and a live DVD.

Blistur also won Original Band Of The Year 3 consecutive years in a row, (2019, 2020, 2021) according to Florida's Folio Magazine. Chris Kellam won Best Musician the same 3 years respectively. Both have been nominated for 2022 and are awaiting the results.

Musical influences range from big band, swing, hard rock, blues, progressive and metal. Examples: Tool, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Bob Pass, Jordan Peterson, Steve Vai, Mr Big, Dream Theater, The Eagles, Deftones, etc.

When composing a song there is a giant pallet of colors to choose from and the best ones come naturally without thinking too much on how to fit into a modern trend. Rather, how to fit the lyrics into the mood of the song be it comical, dark and moody, angry, happy, inspirational. 

Music is life. Life is all these things. Why be tied down to one sound? Why be in the same mood every day? No one is. Let's just make a great song. If we like it, others will too.

Why is it important for Blistur to connect with our fans? No artist can succeed without fans. But fans always sounds so pretentious, because we end up being friends with those who show up night after night and never seem to tire of our music. 

We love to give our fans/friends and new listeners alike something new and ever changing - so that the show they see us at today, is a different experience the next time. 

Whether it be through our recorded works or live performance, Blistur gives you the very best, every time.
