about

you are the fighter; you are not cursed by your blood. keep fighting--you will be different from your parents in all the ways you want to be

lyrics

down
in the swamps
of florida
there
walked a woman
who had fought for all her days

she
looked at me
and i told her
I felt
i had lost
the sparkle in my gaze
and that life was all a haze

I heard it said
life gets harder
but what
if you’re
tired of being
a fighter

I heard it said
life gets harder
but I’ve already worn
all this armor

she said will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day

will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day ay ay, oh



I don’t
want to be
my mother’s daughter
a fear
that sometimes
permeates my brain

maybe I’m
only so
where it matters
this blood
ain’t a curse
that which courses through my veins
I won’t be a doomed refrain

I heard it said
life gets harder
but what
if you’re
tired of being
a fighter

I heard it said
life gets harder
but I’ve already worn
all this armor

she said will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day

she said will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day

she said will you run away
will you run away, ay ay ay ay
she said will you run away
will you run away, ay ay ay ay
she said will you run away
will you run away, ay ay ay ay
she said will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day
HEY!

Candy Isle’s official inception took place the summer of 2017, after college friends Kat and Lydia decided to take their ideas of covering songs and make it a reality. Two years later, Candy Isle has evolved from an acoustic indie duo to a full fledged, plugged-in trio with the addition of Allison on the bass.
