I sold some tickets

To come see my downfall

It sold out in minutes

I saw friends in the front row

They'll leave when I'm finished

And the light in my name's gone

'Cause the ones who gas you up

Only come around when the flame's on and

(I gave you my life, oh, oh-oh)

Ayy, fuck it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I use a razor to take off the edge, jump off the ledge, they said

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Take the laser, aim at my hеad and paint the walls red, I said

(Yeah, yеah, yeah)

I'm crazy, I'm off the meds, I'm better off dead, they said

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I use a razor to take off the edge, jump off the ledge

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

Ooh

My finger's burning from the temperatures (temperatures)

My preacher led me off the precipice (fuck)

If I'm a painter, I'd be a depressionist (depressionist)

I need this time to decompress

From this ketamine, this cocaine

This medicine for my growing pain

This weed I've been smoking, I'm dying inside

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I use a razor to take off the edge, jump off the ledge, they said

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Take the laser, aim at my head and paint the walls red, I said

(Fuck you)

I'm crazy, I'm off the meds, I'm better off dead, they said

(Yeah, yeah yeah)

I use a razor to take off the edge, jump off the ledge

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

I'm sellin' tickets to my downfall

Okay

Get me out of this house and get me out of my head

Get me a drink and cigarette

I just need to go out 'cause I can sleep when I'm dead

Drop me off at the rox on sunset

Hey, you

Same time and the same place

We can get shitfaced, yeah, yeah

Hey, you

There's a lot that I wanna say

But that's for another day, okay

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle, yeah

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Hello, goodbye (uh)

Let's get back in the car, it's time to do it again

Light up a blunt and a cigarette (let's go)

I went back in the bar and told her bring all her friends

I don't even know where we're going yet

Hey (hey), you (you)

Same time and the same place

We can get shitfaced, yeah, yeah

Hey (hey), you (you)

There's a lot that I wanna say

But that's for another day, okay

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle, yeah

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Hello, goodbye (jump)

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle, yeah

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Hello, goodbye

La la la la la la la, la la la la

La la la la la la la, la la la la la (I'm fucked up)

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle, yeah

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle, yeah (jump)

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Hello, goodbye (one more time)

Kiss kiss, kiss kiss the bottle all night

Hello, goodbye, yeah

Goodbye, yeah

I'm still young, wasting my youth

I'll grow up next summer

I'm back on those drugs I quit

I kept my dealer's number

I'm still young, wasting my youth

I'll grow up next summer

I'm back on that girl I quit

I should've lost her number

I'm overcompensating for heartbreak

I swallowed a pill that was in a heart shape

Her hands on my chest, feelin' my heartbeat

She spillin' her drink all on my car seat

She'll get attached and then trap me

Then I gotta act like I'm happy

She posts pics to get at me

Déjà vu, it's like last week

I'm still young, wasting my youth

I'll grow up next summer

I'm back on those drugs I quit

I kept my dealer's number

I'm still young, wasting my youth

I'll grow up next summer

I'm back on that girl I quit

I should've lost her number

Pedal to the floor, yeah, I can't brake

The floor of the hotel's my ashtray

She opened the door and walked past me

I'm a Hollywood whore, I don't ask names

Yeah, let's get high as fuck

I've tried to cover up

Eyes that have seen too much

I'd go blind for her touch

I'm still young, wasting my youth

I'll grow up next summer

I'm back on those drugs I quit

I kept my dealer's number

I'm still young, wasting my youth

I'll grow up next summer

I'm back on that girl I quit

I should've lost her number

I'm still young

I'm wasted and I'm not getting younger

I'll grow up

I promise that I'll grow up next summer

I'm still young (you plus me is euphoria)

I'm wasted and I'm not getting younger

I'll grow up (I have sinned, don't help me, Jesus)

I promise that I'll grow up next summer

I'm still young (you plus me is euphoria)

I'm wasted and I'm not getting younger

I'm still young (I have sinned, don't help me, Jesus)

I promise that I'll grow up next summer

Okay

The simulation just went bad

But you're the best I ever had

Like handprints in wet cement

She touched me, it's permanent

In my head, in my head

I couldn't hear anything you said, but

In my head, in my head

I'm callin' you girlfriend, what the fuck?

I don't do fake love

But I'll take some from you tonight

I know I've got to go

But I might just miss the flight

I can't stay forever, let's play pretend

And treat this night like it'll happen again

You'll be my bloody valentine tonight

I'm overstimulated and I'm sad

I don't expect you to understand

It's nothing less than true romance

Or am I just makin' a mess?

In my head, in my head

I'm lyin' naked with you, yeah

In my head, in my head

I'm ready to die holding your hand

I don't do fake love

But I'll take some from you tonight (take some from you tonight)

I know I've got to go

But I might just miss the flight

I can't stay forever, let's play pretend

And treat this night like it'll happen again

You'll be my bloody valentine tonight

I can't hide

How I feel about you inside

I'd give everything up tonight

If I could just have you, be mine

Be mine, baby

I can't hide (I cannot hide these feelings, no)

How I feel about you inside (I cannot hide these feelings)

I'd give everything up tonight (I'd give up everything for you)

If I could just have you, be mine (I'd give up everything)

Be mine (ayy)

I don't do fake love

But I'll take some from you tonight (take some from you tonight)

I know I've got to go

But I might just miss the flight

I can't stay forever, let's play pretend

And treat this night like it'll happen again

You'll be my bloody valentine tonight

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (just tonight)

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (just tonight)

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (just tonight)

Na-na-na, na-na-na (in my head, in my head)

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (just tonight)

(Were we on time? Should we try—)

Let me take my fucking bracelet off

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

Damn

I saw you walk in the room and I tried my best

Not to panic while I'm lookin' for the back door

I smelled the perfume and it's obvious

I'm gonna stay and put my key in the bag more

I can't, I can't, I can't pretend to forget

You're the reason I punched a hole in the wall back home

And then, and then, and then a couple hours later

We're in room 29 at the chateau

I left before you woke up

I don't feel right (seeing you sober)

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

I'm keepin' you waiting

But I won't wait on you

Want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

I've wasted so much time

Waitin' around for your phone calls every night

My bad dreams are silk screened

'Cause I taste blood when you bleed

It's eating me alive

We'd both be better off alone

Still think I'd get you on the phone

With one last breath in me

I'd die before I let you leave

You left before I woke up

Why don't I ever see you

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

I'm keepin' you waiting

But I won't wait on you

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

Hey you

Tell me why you do the things that make me

Hate you

It's an emotional kaleidoscope when I

Face you

Permanent calligraphy, I just

Tattooed

Your name on me forever, fuck

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

I'm keepin' you waiting (waiting)

But I won't wait on you

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

All I know is I don't know nothin'

All I know is I don't know nothin' at all

People talk, but they don't say nothin'

All I know is I don't know nothin' at all

No license, I'm still ridin'

Crashed into a tree and kept drivin'

My label hates that I'm like this

I gotta go through shit to keep writin'

All these girls, I don't want none of them

But I know I'll end up with one of them

My life on the outside's fun to them

But the person on the inside is crumblin'

All I know is I don't know nothin'

All I know is I don't know nothin' at all

People talk but they don't say nothin'

All I know is I don't know nothin' at all

All I know is I don't know nothin'

I love you, but I don't love nothin' at all

Yeah, the world is crazy, so corrupted

I'm by myself, so I don't feel too involved

'Cause I'm alone, alone, I'm alone

Don't know who to call, I don't know (yeah), I don't know (yeah)

If you know the answer to these things, let me know (yeah)

Let me know, let me know again (yeah)

All I know is I don't know nothin'

All I know is I don't know nothin' at all

People talk but they don't say nothin'

All I know is I don't know nothing at all

Ripped jeans, I been runnin' from the cops all night

I'm dead, I don't care about nothin'

Bloody teeth in my mouth when I smiled last night

Broke his jaw, now he can't say nothin' (nothin' at all)

I got in trouble

The first time my dad saw me

Dance with the devil

How are we so opposite?

I lived with your sister

My first home since mom had left

And I wrote my first song with him in the basement

And then he said goodbye way too soon

And this don't feel right without you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you

I got in trouble

The first time the cops saw me

Dance with the devil

I ended up in handcuffs and then

You called your sister

She cried when she picked me up

Goddamn, how I miss her

'Cause she didn't give a fuck

And then she said goodbye way too soon

And this don't feel right without you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you

The last time I saw you (fuck)

I cried, I wish you had more time left

The last time I heard you

They held the phone, you took your last breath

The last time I saw you

I cried, I wish you had more time left

The last time I heard you

They held the phone, you took your last breath

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'd trade it, trade it, I'd trade it all for you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I'd trade it, trade it, I'd trade it all for you

Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full

I hate this, I'm jaded, and I'd trade it all for you

Boy, it was just a dangerous birth

His umbilical cord was stuck around his neck

And so I ended up, uh, undoing the umbilical cord, and, uh

Well, he was bigger than the normal child

I don't know what it was but he had a, uh

He had a heart problem and they didn't think he would live

Hey

Who the fuck are you

To tell me what to do?

'Cause I am not your bitch, shit

At least

Make it look good while you're lying to me

Goddammit, I'm trying to find inner peace

But it's world war 3

Go ahead and criticize my life you know so much about

I will not minimize the fact that you counted me out

Told all the bad news, and left all the good shit out

Fuck

At least

Make it look good while you're lying to me

Goddammit, I'm trying to find inner peace

But it's world war 3

Yo

Yo

Ok, wait, pete, before we start, can you just give me some beep-boops, beep-boop-boop

Beep-boop-boop, beep-boop-boop-boop, beep-boop-boop, boop

What's, what's your alien name?

Roger, no, I'm gonna be Kevin, dude

I wanna be Kevin the alien

Why was mine such a bad name? Mine was barracuda

Kevin and barracuda, dude

I'm on, I'm like, coming down off mushrooms by the way

Oh, that's great

I can hear this water running, hold on

Is that water still on?

That's not me

Oh, it's not? (woah)

Could you be both aliens?

You want me to be both aliens?

Just say, say

You know what place blows? Earth

I agree

You know what place blows? Earth

I agree, grab the sack, let's go to mars

We're such losers

That's why we gotta leave earth, man

Don't forget, bring the weed

Alright

The headlines say the world is over

What ever happened to a fairy tale ending?

You can't pass if you don't know the code word

I'm inside a ufo crash landing

I'm in a room by the door

With a space invader

I know that I'm immature

But at least I'm not a goddamn failure

Sos (I'm callin')

Sos, I'm calling out

Sos (I'm fallin')

Sos, I'm falling now

I'm upside down, I'm upside down, I'm upside down

My life is a roller coaster, roller coaster

Get me off this roller coaster

(Get me off this roller coaster)

I heard you never graduated from high school

The food sucked and the kids were awful

I know you wanted me to go to law school

I dyed my hair, pierced my nostril

I know I've done this before

But it's a mind eraser

I'm waking up on the floor

I gotta get my life back later

Sos (I'm callin')

Sos, I'm calling out

Sos (I'm fallin')

Sos, I'm falling now

I'm upside down, I'm upside down, I'm upside down

My life is a roller coaster, roller coaster

Get me off this roller coaster

I'm in too deep, I feel too much

I'm insecure, I fuck things up

I'm in too deep, I feel too much

I'm insecure, I did— fuck

Sos (I'm callin')

Sos, I'm calling out

Sos (I'm fallin')

Sos, I'm falling now

I'm calling, I'm calling

I'm calling, I'm calling out

I'm falling, I'm falling

I'm falling, I'm falling now

I'm calling (sos), I'm calling

I'm calling (sos), I'm calling out

I'm falling (sos), I'm falling

I'm falling (sos), I'm falling now

Fuck, I said the wrong lyric

Ooh, keep that

Ayy

You know my ex, so that makes it all feel complicated, yeah

(It all seems complicated)

I read those texts that you sent to yours, but I'll never say it, yeah

(I'll never say—)

You walked in my life at 2 am

'Cause my boy's new girl is your best friend

Act like you don't see me, we'll play pretend

Your eyes already told me what you never said

Now we're in the backseat of the black car, goin' home

When she asked me: Is it wrong if I come up with you?

We're both drunk on the elevator

When I kissed you for the first time in New York city, uh

I swear to God, I never fall in love

Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it

I swear to God, I never fall in love

I never fall in love, but I can't get enough of it (yeah)

First off, I'm not sorry, I won't apologize to nobody

You play like I'm invisible, girl, don't act like you ain't saw me

Last year was a mess and how I acted was beyond me

But the past still revolves me, you text me, I ain't responding

But now shit's done changed

Go our separate ways

But look at this damage you did to me

I still want nothing to do between you and me

Please don't say nothin', it all sounds so true to me

We don't got nothin' to say, hey

I swear to God, I never fall in love

Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it

I swear to God, I never fall in love

I never fall in love, but I can't get enough of it (yeah)

I swear to God (I swear to God), I never fall in love

Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it (I can't get enough of you)

I swear to God (I swear to God), I never fall in love (in love)

I never fall in love, but I can't get enough of it (I can't get enough of it, yeah)

You know my ex, so that makes it all feel complicated, yeah

(It all seems complicated)

I read those texts that you sent to yours, but I'll never say it, yeah

(I'll never say—)

And this one is titled

Jawbreaker

She tastes like candy

Star chaser

And she's not landing

La ex is

In Miami

Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker

Would it kill you to smile?

Let me occupy your mind

Went a million miles an hour

And it fucked up your design

6 am, six a piece, then sex on the beach, uh

6 PM, sexy girl, still can't let her leave, uh

6 am, back again for the same thing, ya

6 PM, I won't end till I can't breathe, uh

Jawbreaker

She tastes like candy

Star chaser

And she's not landing

La ex is

Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker

I can feel you from the waist down

There's a movie on with no sound

I'm the architect of this town

You're the prototype I need now

6 am, six a piece, then sex on the beach, uh

6 PM, back again for the same things, yeah

Jawbreaker

She tastes like candy

Star chaser

Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker

(J-j-jawbreaker)

(Jawbreaker)

(J-j-jawbreaker)

(Jawbreaker)

(Jawbreaker)

I keep doing that thing where I'm thinking again

I got skeletons in my closet (closet)

I got nightmares sleeping again

I gave you my heart, you lost it (lost it)

She's a girl from a small town, but we're in a big city

And she's in my passenger seat right now

'Cause we live in a small world

I told her: It's all yours

But I need to know if you're down

I can't help it (I can't help it)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I did this all for you, look what I turned into

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside

I did this all for you, look what I turned into

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside

(Huh, yeah)

I keep doing that thing where I'm smoking again

Too much and now I'm faded

Keep tearing my heart, now it's open again

Few drunk texts, now you're naked

I can't help it, I can't help it

I feel selfish, I feel selfish (selfish)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I did this all for you, look what I turned into

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside

I did this all for you, look what I turned into

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside

(It's hard)

It's been a long time since I was young

And she was the first face I was looking to call mine

She said it's alright, had a couple of drinks

And I got issues we can fight about all night

I did this all for you, look what I turned into

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside

I did this all for you, look what I turned into

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside

I'm running low on serotonin in these empty moments

I'm having trouble operating without my main component

I'm running low on serotonin in these empty moments

I'm having trouble operating without my main component

My God

Did you drink a lot of tequila?

Yeah

Is that what it was?

Yeah

You wanna listen to the interlude while we sit here?

Yeah

Put it on

Do you, like, remember the stuff that you do with me?

Yes

Okay, I don't know 'cause you're so high or, like, you get really drunk, so I don't know if you remember it

Of course I do

Okay

I cherish it

I burn other memories just to make room for those ones

That was four months ago that we were right here and I met you

That's not possible

Like, you just got my initials tattooed on you

I got your nickname tattooed on me

Mhm

She loves a boy so much

She wants him to steal her breath

She loves (she loves) a boy so much

She wants (she wants) him to steal her breath

Because also

If the world was coming to an end

I don't wanna close my eyes without

Feeling like I lived

Same

I'm writing you this message just so I can say that I love you

I had to let you know that everything about me was you, yeah

I think it's time for me to leave, but I'll never leave you

I just looked at your pictures, so the last thing I did was see you

I'm twenty-nine, my anxiety's eating me alive

I'm fightin' with myself and my sobriety every night

And last time I couldn't barely open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

I wrote you this song to keep when I'm gone

If you ever feel alone

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

I hope you get to go to all the places that I showed you

When I was on the road and couldn't be home to hold you

Part of me doesn't want this cruel world to know you

So just try and keep in mind everything that I told you

I'm twenty-nine, and society's eating me alive

I'm fighting what comes with this notoriety every night

This is the last time I'll ever open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

I wrote you this song to keep when I'm gone

If you ever feel alone

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you

And I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you (I'll miss you)

I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you (I'll miss you)

I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you
