We get dirty and we go hard, some things we don't mean
Tell me "No one's gonna get ya", I'm just straight up mad
A fool in love rolled up beside me and you're just as bad
The throat is deep and the mouth is wide
Saw some things on the other side
Made me promise to never tell
But you know me I can't help myself, no
No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises: we'll always win at this
I don't ever think about death
I got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination
In the dark
Backbeat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
I let you put it in my mouth
I let it get under my skin
I let you pump it through my veins
I let you take me from within
I can swallow it down
Keep it all inside
I define myself
By how well I hide
I feel it coming apart
Well, at least I tried
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
Here we go again, I kinda want to be more than friends
So take it easy on me, I'm afraid you're never satisfied
Here we go again, we're sick like animals, we play pretend
You're just a cannibal and I'm afraid I won't get out alive
And you flash some fang
And I bat my
/ And we're back again
No end to this game with matches
We've been lovers and strangers and friends who get angry
Made mistakes and amends and brief moments of magic
We forgive and forget and give in to attraction
This whole thing depends on amnesia and madness
I, I'm lost in my head again
Time travelling, running a-, running away
With darkness my only friend
Don't wanna do this all again
You pull me back down to earth
Clothes off, your hands are on, hands are on me
Pulling at my t-shirt, your hands everywhere
Rising, rising, rising
As you trip and fall, dragging me up the stairs
What's your, what's your name, now
You try to get to heaven on a night like this
But you, you never get to heaven on a night like this
Cover up, cover up, cover up that you're ruthless
Nobody, nobody, nobody's ever gonna notice
And I am catchin' up and I am seein' red
How about I prove I'm right and raise it overhead?
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Barely, barely grieving
Keep the front door open
Wipe that cheeky grin and come on, now
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night, you can't be found
Summer evening breezes bloom
Drawing voices deep from you
Led by a beating heart
What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart
Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of fear
I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone
I long for that feeling to not feel at all
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim
Knocked down, round for round
You're feeling like you're shot down on the ground
When will the fantasy end
When will the heaven begin? Yeah
Do you listen to yourself
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel?
Nothing hurts when no one's real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah, she wants to shake with me
She's not looking for the holes in all their lies
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star?
I'm an addict for dramatics
I confuse the two for love
You can't tell me that you don't beg
Liar (Liar)
If we're keeping score
Then we're all choir boys at best
Intrusive and arrogant)
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
You're a lot like me
And I think that you should tell her
That the only difference between us is fear
And if you are like me
Then I think you should remember
If you ever wanna get yourself outta here
Now all you think you hide are open secrets
And the pendulum swings back and forth, my dear
…
I can be your friend
Or I just just go and break you
And I think you'd better make what you want clear
Cause I'm not quite sure
How long it's gonna take you
If you really wanna get yourself outta here
She brought weekend boys home in her curls
She said, "My love is a fever.
Come on, touch my skin.
They all think I'm easy,
I'm easy, cause I let them win."
…
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
I got a bulletproof heart
You got a hollow-point smile
Me and your runaway scars got a photograph dream
On the getaway mile
Let's blow a hole in this town
And do our talking with a laser beam
Gunning out of this place in a bullet's embrace
Then we'll do it again
So have you got the guts?
Been wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down an' pucker up, I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of tryin' to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to
I'm burning down every bridge we made
I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
I'm bleeding out every word you said
Go to hell, for heaven's sake
Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
The letters that you left behind
No longer shall I read
Your blood's between the pages
And I can't stand to see you bleed
And I'll soon forget what was never there
Your words are ash and dust
All that's left is the song I've sung
The breath I've taken and the one I must
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
All of the words I've swallowed
All of the sharp things I've kept in my mouth
I am always bleeding out
Take me to war
Honey, I dare you
I'll be the sweetest thing
To ever scare you
Give me a fight I can't resist
Give me something to break with my fists
Take me to war
Oh, honey, I dare you
We're too far gone Nothing I say will mean anything Just drink, fuck, dance Right through disaster I don't want to talk about it now
♬Had a great seven year white knuckle ride Killing time flying high as I held on tight to you, to you Did I blow my mind on the wild side Singing hallelujah to 'em every night with you, with you?
♬Drive around, night time, nowhere to go Melt me down, I'm like wax to your jokes Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low And there's no point reliving crimes to lose this
♬As the night time bleeds into the day Tomorrow spills across the sky And the sun's a harsh reminder why We are feeling barely human
♬You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up; let's finish what we've started Dig them up, so nothing's left untouched
♬Lights go out again You stroke my pain And tempt my trouble Seek how we pretend But we're not friends And we're not lovers We're just trouble
♬I tried going against my own soul's warning And in the end, something just didn't feel right Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming Thunderheads were forming
♬Back up the stairs again I am a different man A broken mirror only shows as best it can Running in shoes that shine With blood that isn't mine A staining trophy of the battles I've survived
♬I hope they cannot see The limitless potential Living inside of me To murder everything I hope they cannot see I am the great destroyer
♬Little pictures in my head, turnin' inside-out again Cuz fuckin' up takes practice, I feel I'm well rehearsed Because the past is a bully and the future's even worse Tell me what you fear cuz I can feel it like a curse
♬You've got this thing about you That keeps me on the edge of my seat 'Cause every time you smile I can tell you're just showing your teeth
♬
