BRING ME TROUBLE I don't get motivated till the straits are dire I don't get out of my seat until the heat breathes fire I get complacent. I feel a little bit tired I never break a sweat unless the sh** gets higher Bring me trouble. Trouble's what I need Bring me trouble. On trouble I feed Bring it double. Make me bleed Bring me trouble. It's what I need It seems like I'm useless till it's panic time I need adrenaline let loose in a bind I get jump started from the urgency When they're running scared, I steal their energy Bring me trouble. Trouble's what I need Bring me trouble. On trouble I feed Bring it double. Make me bleed Bring me trouble. It's what I need Hey Mr. Trouble, where you at Hey Mr. Trouble, why don't you come around Hey Mr. Trouble, you know you can't beat me Mr. Trouble, yeah, you're going down Bring me trouble. Trouble's what I need Bring me trouble. On trouble I feed Bring it double. Make me bleed Bring me trouble. It's what I need

I Gotta Stay 03:22
I GOTTA STAY I’m walking down a street I don’t know nobody’s name (they don’t know me) I got no friends here I don’t see anyone I wanna meet It’s a lonely town and it’s a lonely day I feel my lonely heart, but I gotta stay Can’t go home no more (No, I gotta stay) Kicked right down to the floor (I gotta stay) It’s feeling like hard times (But I gotta stay) Seems like a place I’ll hate (But I gotta stay) It’s a bad looking place I don’t see anything good (it’s all insane) They wanna see me break Everything they throw down, I have to take It’s an evil town and it’s an evil day I feel an evil stare, but I gotta stay Can’t go home no more (No, I gotta stay) Kicked right down to the floor (I gotta stay) It’s feeling like hard times (But I gotta stay) Seems like a place I’ll hate (But I gotta stay) They’ll try to make me be how they want me to be Do what they want me to do See what they want me to see It’s hell they’re gonna put me through But I gotta stay Can’t go home no more (No, I gotta stay) Kicked right down to the floor (I gotta stay) It’s feeling like hard times (But I gotta stay) Seems like a place I’ll hate (But I gotta stay) Can’t go home no more (No more no more) Kicked right down to the floor (Right down to the floor) It’s feeling like hard times (Feeling like hard times) Seems like a place I’ll hate (But I gotta stay)

Bad Horizon 04:32
BAD HORIZON It's a bad horizon that I'm staring at There's a long dark road leading back Regret is pushing me as the sun is shutting down Redemption can't be found here in this tired old ghost town It's a bad horizon, looks a lot like death It's a bad horizon, looming straight ahead The red looks like fire on black clouds rising up from hell It's a bad horizon, and I don't feel well My fears and failure ride shotgun seat As I'm driving home where she hates me A sandstorm hits my heart, I swear I can hear it moan My mind picks at my flaws like a vulture on dead bones It's a bad horizon, looks a lot like death It's a bad horizon, looming straight ahead The red looks like fire on black clouds rising up from hell It's a bad horizon, and this won't end well That lightning in the distance is the devil's electric chair Like a dead man walking, I'm headed there It's a bad horizon, looks a lot like death It's a bad horizon, looming straight ahead The red looks like fire on black clouds rising up from hell It's a bad horizon, and this won't end well

I GOT FRIENDS I got friends with serious problems I got friends on the edge and wobblin' I'd like to help, but I got my own stuff right now I got friends who drink too much I got friends who do some drugs I do some too, but I think I know when to stop I don't know where we're all goin' I can't see what the future's showin' I wish I could, but all I see is haze right now I got friends dancin' with Satan I got friends whose minds are wastin' We're not that bad, we're just boys and girls with time to use We're your friends. We're your sons and daughters We're like ghosts. Do you feel haunted We might be real, if we could just fit in somehow I don't know where we're all goin' I can't see what the future's showin' I wish I could, but all I see is haze right now We all feel invisible And we think we're indestructible That's how we live, we crash and burn where no one sees All my friends play their music loud All my friends like to yell and shout We're not that deaf, maybe we got some things to say I don't know where we're all goin' I can't see what the future's showin' I wish I could, but all I see is haze right now

HER RUSTY RAZOR She knows my weaknesses, I let her get too close She knows where to cut so I bleed the most She could use a gun but that would be too quick She could use a knife but that would be to clean She likes to rip Her rusty razor, jagged edge Tears my soul to bloody shreds Spiteful woman carves my heart from my chest Her rusty razor makes a mess Dirty and infected Her rusty razor does not rest She liked my face all smooth, when we used to kiss She knew how to shave, man it was a gift Wielding the straight blade, she had an artful hand Around my jugular, she used her master’s touch Like Rembrandt Her rusty razor, jagged edge Tears my soul to bloody shreds Spiteful woman carves my heart from my chest Her rusty razor makes a mess Dirty and infected Her rusty razor does not rest She mixes gasoline in my shaving cream To add sting to the pain There’s only one way I’ll get relief I pray, I pray she lights the flame Her rusty razor, jagged edge Tears my soul to bloody shreds Spiteful woman carves my heart from my chest Her rusty razor makes a mess Dirty and infected Her rusty razor does not rest

CHASING SHOOTING STARS I’m staring straight ahead, I tore off the rear view Motorcycle growls, brake never gets used Pipe's spittin' flame, pavement burning tire Night and day, riding fire Chasing shooting stars Racing after rainbows Wondering where you are Wondering where's my pot of gold Chasing shooting stars Exhausting every avenue I'm chasing shooting stars Until I find you I'll be chasing shooting stars Some days I run on fumes, it's wearing down my heart I gotta have your kiss gimme a kick start Battery near dead, light's been on too long Chug-a-chug, spark not strong Chasing shooting stars Racing after rainbows Wondering where you are Wondering where's my pot of gold Chasing shooting stars Exhausting every avenue I'm chasing shooting stars Until I find you I'll be chasing shooting stars Continental US, all over America Searching for a ghost, I'm finding only dust Chasing shooting stars Racing after rainbows Wondering where you are Wondering where's my pot of gold Chasing shooting stars Exhausting every avenue I'm chasing shooting stars Until I find you I'll be chasing shooting stars

I KNOW IT'S COMPLICATED I feel my heart beat on a Saturday night Watching pretty girls under flashing lights Is there one for me, is there one for me I see them leave the clubs with these awful guys I know it can't be good, it can't be wise Now I'm wondering, it's got me wondering I know it's complicated There's lust unsatiated Will I ever understand Can I be satisfied I know I'm probably jaded There's time, I should be patient It's so hard to comprehend Maybe I'll just give in I know it's complicated I feel the rain fall down out a' the sky Splashing on my face, so I'm asking why There's gravity, why's there gravity I see houses bein' all run down The bottles in the streets and I don't know how There's depravity, how's there depravity I know it's complicated There's greed unsatiated Will I ever understand Can I be satisfied I know I'm probably jaded There's time, I should be patient It's so hard to comprehend Maybe I'll just give in I know it's complicated I read on the web, what politicians say About our problems and about the way I should be living, I should be living I hear a little voice on my radio Givin' us the answer .. Is that all we know About the big things, about the big things I know it's complicated There's greed unsatiated Will I ever understand Can I be satisfied I know I'm probably jaded There's time, I should be patient It's so hard to comprehend Maybe I'll just give in I know it's complicated

BAREFOOT GIRL I thought she was simple, I thought she was free From the conventions that this world heeds I thought she had her own mind up inside that head I thought we’d live our own lives but we’re living theirs instead The barefoot girl, that I once knew She’s all grown up with a big hairdo Got the makeup on and designer styles The girl I loved has been gone awhile That barefoot girl, she used to make me smile She once had true vision, she once had her own Personal style, but now that’s gone She’s all into those fashion, lifestyle magazines Buying up trendy products, living out another’s consumer dream The barefoot girl, that I once knew She’s all grown up with a big hairdo Got the makeup on and designer styles The girl I loved has been gone awhile That barefoot girl, she used to make me smile The barefoot girl that I once knew is covered up by fancy shoes

I'M SELF DESTRUCTIVE I play Russian Roulette and life is my bullet Sometimes it’s a hand grenade Even with all my amputations I’m still digging my own grave And I shovel fast, I'm in neck deep 'Bout 6 feet down is where I sleep I’m self destructive, I’ve got a knack I’ve got real talent, I ain’t no hack I don’t need no help I’m making my own bed I’m self destructive And I’ll be done, done when I’m dead I'm easily seduced by darkness and doom I took a vampire for my bride It was love at first bite, but by our wedding night I had a wild witch on the side Now my goose is cooked, deep fried in hell I have to duck and dive from fangs and spells I’m self destructive, I’ve got a knack I’ve got real talent, I ain’t no hack I got my will all set I’m making my own bed I’m self destructive And I’ll be done, done when I’m dead I love dancing with lightning, electric and frightening I chase tornadoes on my bicycle I never stop to think twice Speed right by the danger signs I pick fights with guys two times my size I’m self destructive, I’ve got a knack I’ve got real talent, I ain’t no hack It’s on my resume I’m taking all the cred I’m self destructive And I’ll be done I’m self destructive, I’ve got a knack I’ve got real talent, I ain’t no hack I’m very independent I’m making my own bed I’m self destructive And I’ll be done, done when I’m dead Done when I’m dead Done when I’m dead Done when I’m dead

FIRE MY HEART You’re hotter than our bonfire I’m ready to be burned Your kisses are my kerosene You’re dousing me with flirt I’m going berserk Strike that match Baby, light my spark Come on, fan my flame Yeah, fire my heart Fire my heart, fire my heart Your tan skin is combustible I sizzle when you touch You’re scorching me with body heat You’ve got a red hot love Baby steam me up Strike that match Baby, light my spark Come on, fan my flame Yeah, fire my heart Fire my heart, fire my heart You say you want fireworks on this Fourth of July You’re gonna need more than sparklers, I’ll be your rocket to the sky You got me on your launch pad In my final countdown My fuse is getting pretty short Please get me off of the ground Ignite me now Strike that match Baby, light my spark Come on, fan my flame Yeah, fire my heart Fire my heart, fire my heart

---------------------------------------------
Marc Blackwell's debut CD, "Bring Me Trouble," is indie rock with growl and attitude. There's some quirky, some dark, some catchy, some moody, some fun. Quentin Tarantino should love it. It's got bad places, complications and dancin' with Satan; pretty girls, barefoot girls and girls who hate Marc; witches, vampires and a lot of fire. A highlight on all songs are Marc's deep gripping vocals.
