1. THE PHOENIX

Put on your war paint

You are a brick tied to me that’s dragging me down
Strike a match and I’ll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide so come on

Put on your war paint

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to die
Seal the clouds with grey lining

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you’re waiting for the song to Start
So dance along to the beat of your heart

Hey Youngblood doesn’t it feel like our time is running out
I’m going to change you like a remix
Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing all vintage misery
No I think it looked a little better on me
I’m going to change you like a remix
Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix

Bring home the boys in scraps
Scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black
She broke our spirits with no impact

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you’re waiting for the song to Start
So dance along to the beat of your heart

Hey Youngblood doesn’t it feel like our time is running out
I’m going to change you like a remix
Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing all vintage misery
No I think it looked a little better on me
I’m going to change you like a remix
Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint

The war is won before it’s begun
Release the doves
Surrender love

Hey Youngblood doesn’t it feel
Like our time is running out
I’m going to change you like a remix
Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing all vintage misery
No I think it looked a little better on me
I’m going to change you like a remix
Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint


2. MY SONGS KNOW WHAT YOU DID IN THE DARK (LIGHT EM UP)

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.

B-B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark, mark
And besides in the mean, mean time
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart

I'm in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just gotta get you out of the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark

Writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just died
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you’re the antidote to everything except for me

A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark

My songs know what you did in the dark
(My songs know what you did in the dark)

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.


3. ALONE TOGETHER

I don't know where you're going,
But do you got room for one more troubled soul
I don't know where I'm going,
But I don't think I'm coming home
And I said, I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

Say, yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
Scream it from the top of your lungs
Let's be alone together
We can stay young forever
We'll stay young, young, young, young, young

Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh

Cut me off, I lost my track
Not my fault, I'm a maniac
It's not funny anymore, no it's not

My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's Broken
You wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna feel beautiful, yeah

I'm outside the door, let me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet
Cause...

I don't know where you're going,
But do you got room for one more troubled soul
I don't know where I'm going,
But I don't think I'm coming home
And I said, I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's Broken
You wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna feel beautiful, yeah

I'm outside the door, let me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet, yeah

Let's be alone together (yeah)
We could stay young forever (yeah)
We'll stay young-yo-yo-young
Scream it from the top of your lungs

I don't know where you're going,
But do you got room for one more troubled soul
I don't know where I'm going,
But I don't think I'm coming home
And I said, I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end


4. WHERE DID THE PARTY GO

Na, na, na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na

I'm here to collect your hearts,
It's the only reason that I sing
I don't believe a word you say,
But I can't stop listening

This is the story of how they met,
Picture was on the back of a pack of cigarettes,
And when she touched him he turned ruby red
A story that they'll never forget
Never forget

And all the boys are smoking Menthols,
Girls are getting back rubs,
I will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough

My old aches become new again
My old friends become exes again

Oh where did the party go?
We were ending it on the phone
I'm not gonna go home alone
Where, where did the party go?

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

I know I expect too much
And not enough all at once
You know I only wanted fun
And you got me all fucked up
Oh no

I looked for your name ouija board
And you're making magic oh dear lord
You and me are the difference between real love
And the love on TV, love on TV

And all the boys are smoking Menthols,
Girls are getting back rubs,
I will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough

My old aches become new again
My old friends become exes again

Oh where did the party go?
We were ending it on the phone
I'm not gonna go home alone
Where, where did the party go?

All the kids who screamed (we weren't the same)
In sweaty rooms
Now we're doomed to organizing walk-in closets like tombs

Silent film stars stuck in talking cinema light
So let's fade away together one dream at a time

Na, na, na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na

Oh where did the party go?
We were ending it on the phone
I'm not gonna go home alone
Where, where did the party go?

Na, na, na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na


5. JUST ONE YESTERDAY (FT. FOXES)

I thought of angels
Choking on their halos
Get them drunk on rose water
See how dirty I can get them
Pulling out their fragile teeth
And clip their tiny wings

Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against you

If heaven’s grief brings hell’s rain
Then I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)

Letting people down is my thing baby
Find yourself a new gig
This town ain’t big enough for two of us
I don’t have the right name
Or the right looks
But I have twice the heart

Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against you

If heaven’s grief brings hell’s rain
Then I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)

If I spilled my guts
The world would never look at you the same way
I’m here to give you all of my love
So I can watch your face as I take it all away

If heaven’s grief brings hell’s rain
Then I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)


6. THE MIGHTY FALL (FT. BIG SEAN)

Oh god!
Sean Don
Fall Out...Boi!

Did-did you trip down 12 steps into Malibu
(Malibu, ooh, ooh, ooh,)
So why the hell is there a light that's keeping us forever
Bel Air baby, did you get dressed up,
Pretty pout, pout (pa, pa, pa)
Until you bottomed up?
I can't stop it when there's chemicals keeping us together
Uh, uh, uh, I'm singing

Whoa
How the mighty fall (hey)
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
They fall in love
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
Oh how the mighty fall in love

Your crooked love is just a pyramid scheme
And I'm dizzy on dreams (and I'm dizzy on dreams)
But if you ask me two's a whole lot lonelier than one
Is a whole lot lonelier
Baby we should have left our love in the gutter where we Found it
(Gutter where we found it)
Cause your only crime is that you got caught
I'm singing

Whoa
How the mighty fall (hey)
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
They fall in love
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
Oh how the mighty fall in love

It's getting clear
You'll never come clean
So lock you up and swallow, and swallow, swallow the key

Hello?
Yeah I know you said not to call unless I'm dying
But I'm driving and I can't stop staring at my eyelids
But even though my eyes closed, I still see you
I just hope when you see me I'm not see-through
You know how we do

Some times I swear, I need a day just for me to lay
With some T and A, but the way we, they way we is do deeper
Baby straight up chemistry DNA
Make me wanna give you every dollar out my B of A
Like, I let her climb on top
I'm either fuckin or workin', so the grind don't stop
They say I got screw missing, well hell, only when I'm missing you
And hell yeah I'm a dick, girl, addicted to you

Whoa
How the mighty fall (hey)
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
They fall in love
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
Oh how the mighty fall in love


7. MISS MISSING YOU

Don’t panic
No, not yet
I know I’m the one you want to forget
Cue all the love to leave my heart
It’s time for me to fall apart

Now you’re gone
But I’ll be okay
Your hot whiskey eyes
Have fanned the flames
Maybe I’ll burn a little brighter tonight
Let the fire breathe me back to life

Baby, you were my picket fence
I miss missing you now and then
Chlorine kissed summer skin
I miss missing you now and then
Sometimes before it gets better
The darkness gets bigger
The person that you’d take a bullet for is behind the Trigger
Oh
We’re fading fast
I miss missing you now and then

Making eyes at this husk around my heart
I see through you when we’re sitting in the dark
So give me your filth
Make it rough
Let me, let me trash your love

I will sing to you every day
If it will take away the pain
Oh and I’ve heard you got it, got it so bad
Cause I am the best you’ll never have

Baby, you were my picket fence
I miss missing you now and then
Chlorine kissed summer skin
I miss missing you now and then
Sometimes before it gets better
The darkness gets bigger
The person that you’d take a bullet for is behind the trigger
Oh
We’re fading fast
I miss missing you now and then

Baby, you were my picket fence
I miss missing you now and then


8. DEATH VALLEY

I wanna see your animal side
Let it all out
I wanna see the dirt
Under your skin
I need your broken promises

I want the guts and glory baby
This town is wasted and alone

But we are alive
Here in death valley
But don’t take love off the table yet
Cause tonight it’s just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So we only lose a little
But we are alive

I wanna see your animal side
Let it all out
Oh there you go; undress to impress
You can wear the crown but you’re no princess

So put the “D” in dirt now baby, baby
Let’s get you wasted and alone

But we are alive
Here in death valley
But don’t take love off the table yet
Cause tonight it’s just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So we only lose a little
But we are alive

We’re gonna die
It’s just a matter of time
Hard times come
Good times go
I’m either gone in an instant
Or here til the bitter end
I never know
What I’ve got will make you feel more alive
I’ll be your favorite drug I will get you high
I will get you high

But we are alive
Here in death valley
But don’t take love off the table yet
Cause tonight it’s just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So we only lose a little
But we are alive


9. YOUNG VOLCANOES

When Rome's in ruin,
We are the lions free of the coliseums
In poison places, we are empty venom
We're the beginning of the end

Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds
It's all over now
Before it has begun
We've already won

We are wild
We are like young volcanoes
We are wild
Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?

C'mon, make it easy, say I never mattered
Run it up the flag pole,
We will teach you how to make boys next door out of assholes

Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds
It's all over now
Before it has begun
We've already won

We are wild
We are like young volcanoes
We are wild
Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?


10. RAT A TAT (FT. COURTNEY LOVE)

It's Courtney, bitch.
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant Rate
No graphics and no fucking powerpoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that shit and built their own bombs
She's his suicide blond, she's never in gold

Are you ready for another bad poem?
One more off key anthem
Let your teeth sink in
Remember me as I was not as I am
And I said "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead,"
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition and she'd let it go to my head

Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say:

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never
Getting any better than this

We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live
You settled your score
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, we nightmare you

I'm about to make the sweat roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse
Our guts can't be reworked
As alone as a little white church in the middle of the Desert
Getting burned
But I'll take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter song
I'm the lonelier version of you
I just don't know where it went wrong

Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say:

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never
Getting any better than this
It's never
Getting any better than this
It's never
Getting any better than this
It's never
Getting any better than this

She's sick and she's wrong
She's young dirty blonde
And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb
He says "I've seen bigger"
She says "I've lit better"
And they throw the matches down into the glitter
Not a dry eye left in the house
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never
Getting any better than this
It's never
Getting any better than this
It's never
Getting any better than this
It's never
Getting any better than this


11. SAVE ROCK AND ROLL (FT. ELTON JOHN)

Until your breathing stops, stops
Until your breathing stops, stops, stops
Until your-your-your-your, forever

I need more dreams
And less life
And I need that dark
In a little more light
I cried tears you’ll never see
So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean
And leave me be

You are what you love
Not who loves you
In a world full of the word yes
I'm here to scream

No
Wherever I go
Trouble seems to follow
Only plugged in to save rock and roll

Until your breathing stops, stops
Until your breathing stops, stops, stops
Until your-your-your-your, forever

Blood brothers in desperation
An oath of silence
For the voice of our generation

Woah
How’d it get to be only me?
Like I’m the last damn kid still kicking
That still believes

I will defend the faith
Going down swinging
I will save the songs
The songs we can't stop singing

No
Wherever I go
Trouble seems to follow
Only plugged in to save rock and roll

Oh no, we won't go
We don't know when to quit, no, no
Oh no, we won't go
We don't know when to quit, no, no

You are what you love
Not who loves you
In a world full of the word yes
I'm here to scream

No
Wherever I go
Trouble seems to follow
Only plugged in to save rock and roll

Oh no, we won't go
We don't know when to quit, no, no
Oh no, we won't go
We don't know when to quit, no, no
