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 [bad word] this rising tide [bad word] on

Put on your war paint

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
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 alone to the beat of your heart

Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time [bad word] out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched and make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
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 alone to the beat of your heart

Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time [bad word] out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint

[4x:]
The war is won
Before it's begun
Release the doves
Surrender love

(Wave the white flag!)

Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time [bad word] out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time [bad word] out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint

Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can’t be sure when it hit that mark
And besides in the mean, mean time
I’m just dreaming of tearing you apart
I’m in the de-de-details with the devil
So now the world can never
get me on my level
I just gotta get you up the cage
On my young, lovers 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

In the dark, dark

In the dark, dark

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

In the dark, dark

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

In the dark, dark

In the dark, dark
