On November 4, 2016, Lucius released “The Punisher” in anticipation of their upcoming two-track, Pulling Teeth Ten Inch. The 10-inch vinyl (which also included the title track) officially came out on November 25, 2016, just eight months after the release of the band’s sophomore LP, Good Grief.
Spea...
[Intro]
(Ha ha, Ha ha, Ha ha, Ha ha)
[Verse 1]
Sticks and stones break my bones
But words could kill me
I'm trying, trying not to lose my head
It feels like a punch in the face
The things you're saying
You gotta find another form of ventilation
[Verse 2]
I know that it's not me you are after
I know your chest is burning with a heavy load
I can't be the matador when you are raging
You gotta find another form of recreation
[Chorus]
You are the punisher
You are the punisher
Just 'cause you're the punisher
Doesn't mean you should punish me
[Verse 3]
Cross my heart, swear I'll die
If you won't hear me
I'm trying, trying just to sympathize
Day after day we have the same conversation
I'm not accustomed to this form of desperation
I'm not accustomed to this form of desperation
[Chorus]
You are the punisher
You are the punisher
Just 'cause you're the punisher
Doesn't mean you should punish me
You are the punisher
You are the punisher
Just 'cause you're the punisher
Doesn't mean you should punish me
Just 'cause you're the punisher (you are the punisher)
Doesn't mean you should punish me (you are the punisher)
Just 'cause you're the punisher (I'm not the punisher)
Why are you punishing me?
[Outro]
(Ha ha, Ha ha, Ha ha, Ha ha)
The Punisher was written by Holly Laessig & Jess Wolfe.
