Bully

Hate and Control

From Losing2017

Written by Alicia Bognanno

Lyrics

Hate and Control

Hey, are you doin' all right today? I know everyone's shaken up Guess the power lies in hate I mind you for speakin' up, I need your conversation

Ooh, I felt stuck underwater I couldn't find my breath Have I lost my voice completely? Was it ever really there? What a way to just believe in empathy and care

What is it about me That makes you so uncomfortable? Can we just exist without your hate and control?

Ohh, I'm slippin' into question Vulnerable and aware I'm overthinkin' words, I'm Panicked by your stare Will I lose my voice completely? How long has it been here?

Ohh, I'm stuck listenin' to you [?] What you're sayin' isn't clear You can't define a meaning Who are you to stand me still? You don't like it when I'm angry? Tough shit, learn to deal

What is it about me That makes you so uncomfortable? Can we just exist without your hate and control?

Hate and control Hate and control

Bully on Dork

How Alex Lahey stretched out on ‘The Best of Luck Club’ without losing the small stuff

Alex Lahey’s second album widened its pop-punk frame through changed structures, tunings and instrumental colour, while keeping everyday uncertainty at its centre.

Blondshell and Bully have teamed up for a new single, 'Docket'

"It’s about wanting to cope with distance and change," Blondshell explains.

Bully has released a one-off single, piano ballad 'Atom Bomb'

New album 'Lucky For You' arrived last year.

Bully: "Who remains after the party is done?"

Alicia Bognanno's Bully have always been a little bit special, but with her new album 'Lucky For You', she's hitting a whole new level.
