lyrics

I’d hate to die without any scars
So I hope to fall running in the street
After dark, pitched to pitch asphalt
Yelling “to the wall” excitedly
And then from my knees
Comes the colour of defeat.

The ground has offered pebble fractions of itself
Cordially, a warm gift of collision
The denim round the wound
Has found the former spool of blue
Unsuitable, and runs now with another
With no other
Than the colour of defeat

Finite is this night
It runs out like I will
But I’m leaving something still
In seconds built of thrill
Smeared into the street
Stained into the weave
Is the colour of defeat

I’d hate to die without any scars
So I hope to fall running in the street
After dark pitched to pitch asphalt
Yelling “TO THE WALL!” excitedly
And then at my knees
Clearly I see

The colour of, the colour of
The colour of, the colour of
To the wall, to the wall I
The colour of, the colour of
To the wall, to the wall I

To the wall, I do embark
Through the night fallen autumn park
I march

about

Marmalakes Austin

Marmalakes is the Austin, TX, group led by Chase Weinacht and Josh Halpern, lifelong friends whose spirited intensity leaps from their recordings and performances.

Weinacht pays tribute to rural life in sparsely populated Texas towns he lived in as a child (those scenes and voices permanently inform his songwriting), while employing a playfulness only found in the city.
