about

"The Bad Days of Blonde, Black Nails" was written by Drill For Absentee in 2022.

lyrics

Shelter in place,
You can show your eyes but not your face.
Stay inside,
From now on you have every reason to hide.

Peel the roads back into trails,
Gone are the bad, old days of blonde, black nails.

Climb the wall,
Bullets in the air make no sound at all.
Escape,
From tomorrow it’ll be too late.

When everything around you fails,
Gone are the bad, old days of blonde black nails.

You never planned for this,
You never longed for this.

When the last have left on vapor trails,
You’ll only have the memory of blonde, black nails.

Years ago,
When you were just a child,
You begin to learn
Language with little purpose,
Griffonage on the static end of a wire.
Now that you have grown,
You can now see
That the noise of chosen few
Will give way to the death of You.

You got no one to turn to when your man is evil.
You have nowhere to turn when you’re world is falling apart.
You got no one to learn to when your man is evil.
You have nowhere to turn when you’re world is falling apart.
