I'm swallowing faith, but choking on lust.
I'm chasing your face, but fucking it up.
Turn the stereo loud until I steady my guts.
You still are Oh, wow!
And all of these sounds
Are really just my heart plugged in and played loud

My knuckles are fake.
I kiss when I p

They stick to my tongue, the kisses you threw at me
I'm falling in love with xs and ecstasy
I tripped on my tongue and fell into wild things

Peel off your guts. Punch me romantically
I burned out on luck. It never did much for me
Tonight, let's be young and light up these s

Okay, what is it tonight?
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong?
Do you wanna eat? Do you wanna sleep?
Do you wanna drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar b

When I die
Bury me in the clothes of my youth
Throw my dust in the streets
Where I got alive with you

Blurry eyes
Steady teeth
Another drink
A new bruise
On my heart or on my cheek

It's heaven
We stumble out or try
Loud and free
Raw and wild

My heart is set on '77
Wild nights and porno mouths
Won't die, so I don't need heaven
I'm too fucked up to burn out
I'm an atom bomb ticking

I'm a dead-end kid in the city
Dirty thoughts in a dirty town
I was born with trouble in me
I don't care why or how
I

The sound of your heart is wired to break
Too fucked up to love, but too soft to hate

The hum of your lungs is my favorite thing
And the air you shove out
Into my mouth

I’ve always felt stuck, alone or ashamed
The gutter’s too tough, the stars are too safe

I’m a

I write a lot. It's mostly lies
I fall in love to pass the time
I never fit. I never tried
I need the struggle to feel alive

All I want are records on my stereo
I'm better off, baby, when I'm all alone. That's a lie
Dirty cigarettes and a dirty soul. Tell me I'm enough<

I’m a slave to always fucking up
It’s not okay, but maybe it’s enough
Kids like us are weird, and more, we’re brave
We tie our tongues and turn them into rage

And the night’s still young
And we’re dumb enough to fall

Carve your name soft across my lungs
I want to

Play it loud
Play it fast
Play me something that will always last
Play it soft
Play it quiet
Play me something that might save my life

When I'm lost, we are
Dying in style
When I'm fucked, we are
Fucking alive

I hope I never die
Stick your heart on

I wear your scars on my knuckles, baby, to keep you soft
It’s not like us to be given things. We ain’t got much
This city sleeps in a pattern of broken junk
But nights like this, it don’t matter. All this dirty fun
We’ll grow high not up

These books and bars and this honest

I hardly ever listen cause it's all a lie
Almost everything is a waste of time
I've never really cared and I've never really tried
It never really matters so whatever, never mind

I'm mostly kind of horny but that's half a lie
I got a pretty clean heart but a dirty mind

Your eyelashes shine like a
Plastic diamond
Your arms are a car crash
I want to die in
Your lips smash in mine just like
Lust and violence
Your heart's marvelous trash

The world's forgotten
I can't love you raw enough
I can't love you raw enough
I can't

I can't think with all this noise
I break guitars; I weight my voice
To feel again like damaging
Perfect sound

If rock and roll is dangerous
How come I feel so safe in it?

I have learned how to destroy
To irritate and to annoy
Clumsy hearts and honest fists

Forget the loudest love songs we sang under your attic
They always felt too quiet
We should scream until the police shriek, Hold it down
We'll tell them: yeah, alright
Then bang the amplifiers

We're not violent
We're just some dumb kids
Getting wasted and knowing we

The night is alive, it's loud, and I'm drunk
Kissing the mic and singing about us
The songs that I make, I barely rehearse them
They're hardly mistakes, they're meant to be honest

I'm way out of tune, turned up to eleven
Floating around this noisy heaven
Most of the wor

California's full of porno love
Lunatics and liars and kids like us
We took a lot of time but not enough drugs
It's heaven, it's heaven

Bang and blare these sweaty prayers
Feed your skull
We're accidents, whores and wrecks
You're not alone

We are fucked up I know on this junk
We've been told
Punk or lust? Punk or lust?
Punk or lust? Punk or lust?

This machine, let it bleed. Let it explode

The words I scream
Are meaningless or holy things
They kiss my tongue
Before they split to fix someone
When nothing's loud
I punch my heart I flex my mouth

Until it comes
On like a truth
Brilliant and dumb
Man, they taught me to talk
Then told me to shut

I feel most alive
When I'm listening
To every record that hits harder than the pain

Try not to write
Try to use my brain
But every time I try my heart gets in the way

Never been alright
Never been okay
Never cared if I was cool, fit in, or anything

I hav

The radio is loud and wild
And I'm too drunk to spin the dial
Bathe my bones in alcohol
So I don't have to think at all
I was born at the bottom
But I never belonged
I'm hardly ever right
But I've never been wrong
I can't get calm

Amplifiers sting my teeth
