Hey kid, whatcha doing? Jump in and lets get stupid Close your eyes and make a wish But I’ve got an itch for a graveyard shift Make a life out of the dead Dig up kings, take the crowns right off their heads Little spot could be our own We’ll build a throne out of bricks and bones Stand up straight and be a man, kid Tonight we’re graverobbing. What’s a rat without his teeth? What a lord without his royal ring? I’ll take his hand for all his gold But I’ll leave the rest to the worms and crows.

We all tell the same lies. All monsters in disguise Wanna swallow me up But enough’s enough How did I fit These bones in my closet? I just hang them all up, but enough’s enough Yeah enough’s enough I got these terrible dreams Where I do terrible things And I don’t want to believe No I don’t want to believe it’s you That I am doing them to. We all have those nightmares Can’t tell if they’re real Someone please wake me up but enough’s enough Yeah enough’s enough I got these terrible dreams Where I do terrible things And I don’t want to believe No I don’t want to believe it’s you That I am doing them to. I've got these terrible dreams I’m biting nails, pulling teeth I got these terrible dreams Where I do terrible things And I don’t want to believe No I don’t want to believe it’s you That I am doing them to. I got these bad idle hands that ache for blood and mayhem. I got these terrible dreams And I don’t want to believe No I don’t want to believe it’s you That I am doing them to.

Bombs Away 03:36
Don’t wait on me, I’ll catch up soon. I’m terrified but I’m trying to be brave for you. They say we climb to not feel small But darling, we’re pushing up just for the fall. We’re never ever coming back down the way we came We’re never ever coming back the same. Scream bombs away, keep your eyes open. We’ll never be this young again, this is our moment. But I’m not afraid, deep down I know it. You can’t always run and play it safe You gotta jump just to fall into place. Don’t wait on me, I’ll catch my breath I’d look up but to see the to I’d break my neck They say we’ll die, these wounds won’t heal but we’ll reply, you gotta hurt just to know its real. Meek and cautious, a life held hostage There’s more for you and I, I cross my heart and hope to die Let’s just stay like this, just two foolish kids So caught up in their pretty world They don’t know what it means to crash and burn Scream bombs away and we’ll fall forever.

Wild & Young 04:00
You can always be pardoned of the things you’ve done. But you’re never gonna live down the things you should have. I don’t want to wait for time to run down So I’ll break the hourglass and just pour it out. Let’s be reckless and make our messes. Never gonna regret the scars we’re left with. Let’s just be wild while we’re young Have it all then give it all up Run away with no place to go But I know we call this home You can only afraid of what you believe So forget what they taught us now forget everything Right now we’re leaving A count down would somehow just steal it Black out, it's nothing To skip town like we’re running from something. Let’s be endless like the nights we live in I want to be reckless, I want to be reckless We’re not sparks, we're shooting stars Chasing our own light in the dark

You didn’t have to lie so well Saying words you never felt Cause I’ve seen your tail, your dirty nails The ugly things you’d do for a dead man’s shoes So I’ll see you all in hell And I’ll just watch you burn Yeah I’ll just watch you Burn up. Now you’re the moth around my flame Dancing in our own ballet So I pull you down, and spin you round Such a pretty thing but I clip your wings so you’ll never fly away. You didn’t have to lie so well I guess I’ll see you all in
