i just wanna play my music all night long



(you don't need maps when you know where the sidewalk cracks.)



golden.
and I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
and all the lovers with no time for me
and all of the mothers raise their babies
to stay away from me

fame < infamy.
i am God’s gift but why would he bless me with
such wit without a conscience equipped
i’m addicted to the way I feel when I think of you, woah
"there's too much green to feel blue"

someday.
now the story's played out like this
just like a paperback novel
let's rewrite an ending that fits
instead of a Hollywood horror

show me the meaning of being lonely.
show me the meaning of being lonely
is this the feeling I need to walk with
tell me why I cant be there where you are
there's something missing in my heart

bleed it out.
truth is you can stop and stare
run myself out and no one cares
dug a trench out, laid down there
with a shovel up out of reach somewhere

leave out all the rest.
i'm strong on the surface
not all the way through
i've never been perfect
but neither have you

i'll make a man out of you.
tranquil as a forest
but on fire within
once you find your center
you are sure to win

pictures of you.
this is the war that's never won
this is a soldier and his gun
this is the mother waiting by the phone,
praying for her son

21 guns.
do you know what's worth fighting for?
when it's not worth dying for?
does it take your breath away and you feel yourself suffocating?
does the pain weigh out the pride?

frontline.
we fight to live, we live to fight
and tonight, you'll hear my battle cry
we live our lives on the frontlines
we're not afraid of the fast times

i hate everything about you.
every roommate kept awake
by every sigh and scream we make
all the feelings that I get
but I still don't miss you yet

gone so young.
i never dreamt it'd be this way
i've lost any chance for me to say
to say that I miss you, say that I love you
will someone please tell me I'm okay

a little bit longer.
got the news today
doctor said I had to stay
a little bit longer
and I'll be fine

detroit.
let's walk everywhere we can tonight
it's dark but I tend to see more clearly in this light
being too angry at the age of sixteen
turns your early twenties to one of those dreams


i don't care.
i don't care what you think as long as it's about me
the best of us can find happiness in misery
oh take a chance, let your body get a tolerance
i'm not a chance, put a heat wave in your pants

pete wentz is the only reason we're famous.
half crashed up joints in Tokyo
and I may not be loved but they always recall my name
i'm the last man standing, yeah
and I ain't never scared, yeah

arabian nights.
oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
where the caravan camels roam
where it's flat and immense
and the heat is intense
