Something bad. Coming this way...
[Verse 1]
Something bad coming this way, darling
Don't look back with every fucker
Keep your eye on the path or it'll drive you mad
The world goes 'round
Makes me dizzy, but I hold my ground
When I get nauseous, I just gag it down, pound for pound
I gag it down, I gag it down
[Chorus]
Oh, hit me, hit me with that super pain
'Cause a hit feels like I'm dancin' in the rain
Gimme that beat
There's no need to cry, it's just a black eye, yeah
Hit me, hit me with that super bass
'Cause I want tonight to slap me in the face
Gimme that beat
There's no need to cry, it's just a black eye, yeah
[Verse 2]
Somеthing bad already happened
Doеs that make you sad?
I'm gonna burn it 'cause I don't get mad
I am a modern dog, ah
Collar crime
Year on a leash, it makes a nasty mind
I'm sorry Mr. Fister, if I bite, it's just spite
I will bite, I will bite
[Chorus]
Oh, hit me, hit me with that super pain
'Cause a hit feels like I'm dancin' in the rain
Gimme that beat
There's no need to cry, it's just a black eye, yeah
Hit me, hit me with that super bass
'Cause I want tonight to slap me in the face
Gimme that beat
There's no need to cry, it's just a black eye, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah
No need to cry, it's just a black eye
Oh-oh
There's no need to cry, it's just a black eye
[Bridge]
(La-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Eye, eye, eye, ooh
Black, black, black eye
Eye, eye, eye
Give me a black eye
Eye, ooh, just a black eye
[Outro]
(Little baby, just dry your tears and say)
(A black eye never goes away)
(Little baby, just dry your tears and say)
(A black eye never goes away)
(Little baby, just dry your tears and say)
(A black eye never goes away)
Black Eye was produced by Allie X.
The process of making this new music was an experiment in trusting my own creative instincts and no one else’s, fighting for my freedom creatively, professionally, and personally.
This track and all to come is an effort to create a surreal yet truthful reflection of myself in a very strange world.

I’ve never dealt with physical domestic abuse; my abuse comes more from just the way that I treat myself and my own body. I always feel like I’m almost willing to throw myself out of a building for the sake of art or for the sake of my career. That’s what this song is about: my life experience of ha...
