Downfalls High
Machine Gun Kelly (mgk)
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)

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

(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—)

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
