Blossom is the debut single for duo Lake Malice.
Having recently collaborated with producer Bruce Rintoul (Vukovi, Twin Atlantic, Fatherson) Lake Malice have created an aggressive, vulnerable and experimental take on modern metalcore, inspired by bands such as Spiritbox, Vukovi and Grimes.

Blossom’s lyrics refer to the challenges most bands and music projects deal with in their creative and inter-personal spaces. The song comes from a mix of rage, but also relief in breaking free

Blossom

Talking at myself into the mirror
Oh, God I want to die
I made it this far, I made it this far
Talking myself into going out
Oh, God I want to die
I'll see you at the show

Kinda shit we say to ourselves
Fucking critic is way too loud
I'd love to be a fan, but still ...
I wanna kill myself

Talking at myself like I'm a child
Oh, God you're just a boy
Don't ever grow up; you'll never grow up
Talking to my drink like I'm a lush
Oh, God it's last call
We're never going home!

Kinda shit we say to ourselves
Fucking critic is way too loud
I'd love to be a fan, but still ...
I wanna kill myself

If We Have a Future

Inner Monologue

Married myself to the sound, never slowed down
Never had a doubt
Carried myself like a star, seven feet tall
Turn everything to gold
Threw myself into the sound, committed to the loud
The rock the fuck out
I bled and broke strings and broke hearts, reveled in the dark
A creature of the art

Saw you make a run for the corner booth
Now I'm singing my songs to an empty room
Thought you'd wanna hear what I wrote for you
But I'm singing my songs to an empty room

Buried myself in the songs, never built a life
Couldn't keep a job
My melodies helped me with the hurt, brush off all the dirt
Get up and carry on
So why would I bother showing up for work? A paycheck and a shirt?
"How may I help you, sir? No. 
You can't fire me, I quit!
The system is rigged to keep the rich rich."

Saw you make a run for the corner booth
Now I'm singing my songs to an empty room
Thought you'd wanna hear what I wrote for you
But I'm singing my songs to an empty room

Wrote it all down from the heart
Little bit of anger, lotta fucking love
Never had a clue where to start
Just put the thing to paper, let it fall apart
Pipe dreams, fantasies all, don't tell me about the odds
This thing is catching on or I'll sleep out on the streets with my guitar
Money in a jar
Playing music for the lost

Saw you make a run for the corner booth
Now I'm singing my songs to an empty room
Thought you'd wanna hear what I wrote for you
But I'm singing my songs to an empty room

Best Break Up Ever

Prod. by Nueva Vista

Lyrics
Make we chop life
I said make we chop life
Woo

If you knock my door (knock my door)
If you knock my door
You ain't going home (going home)
You ain’t going home

Drink in my hand with my phone buzzing
I don't recognize the number, so I won't touch it
Missed call, now it's followed by a voice note
She like “where you at, tonight I got no husband"

See I recognize that voice, from a mile away
I know I gotta choice, do I stay away
Or do I, give in to the temptation 
Since you claim that your bodies been waiting 

Girl, I know your situation
At home, you a angel
But with me you wanna move like a bad Gyal (chai!)
So pull up to the addy, ‘fore curfew
Got a few things I can learn you

Girl you got me mesmerized by your dis ting
I mean you got me hypnotized by your dis ting
I mean of course I fantasize of your dis ting
But listen to me very close, it's only one time I'ma tell you dis ting

If you knock my door (knock my door)
If you knock my door
You ain't going home (going home)
You ain’t going home

Que lo que mami, tienes hambre
te voy a cocinar el entré 
Solo, tu y yo, obvio, te regalo

Más que 20 minutes en la cama
Tengo la llave para abrirte tu caja
Con los códigos, 1 dos, tresciento’


If you ain't trying slide, then at home stay
Or I can take you the stars, where the Lord play,
Or we can start a little slow, at your own pace
Cause on my watch, we going demon time all day

I mean you got me hypnotized by your dis ting
I mean of course I fantasize of your dis ting
But listen to me very close, it's only one time I'ma tell you dis ting 

If you knock my door (knock my door)
If you knock my door
You ain't going home (going home)
You ain’t going home

If you knock my door
You ain't going home

Knock My Door (feat. Marion Brunelle)
