2015: BADLANDS

Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so You said your mother only smiled on her TV show. Colors

Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles Just what you’d expect inside her new Balenciaga Viral mess, turned dreams into an empire Self-made success, now she rolls with Roc-A-Fellas. New Americana

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth I need them Mechanically make the words come out. Hold Me Down

Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised. Castle

They sent me away to find them a fortune A chest filled with diamonds and gold The house was awake, with shadows and monsters The hallways, they echoed and groaned. Control

You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece And now you’re tearin’ through the pages and the ink. Colors

We are the new Americana High on legal marijuana (Sky high) Raised on Biggie and Nirvana We are the new Americana. New Americana

Hold me down, hold me down Sneaking out the back door, make no sound Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for. Hold Me Down

I’m headed straight for the castle They wanna make me their queen And there’s an old man sitting on the throne that’s saying that I probably shouldn’t be so mean. Castle

And all the kids cried out, “Please stop, you’re scaring me” I can’t help this awful energy God damn right, you should be scared of me Who is in control?. Control

Everything is blue His pills, his hands, his jeans And now I’m covered in the colors Pull apart at the seams And it’s blue. Colors

Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father But he could never love somebody’s daughter. New Americana

Selfish Taking what I want, and call it mine I’m helpless Clinging to a little bit of spine. Hold Me Down

And now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it Already choking on my pride, so there’s no use crying about it. Castle

I paced around for hours on empty I jumped at the slightest of sounds And I couldn’t stand the person inside me I turned all the mirrors around. Control

2017: Hopeless Fountain Kingdom

Got a boy back home in Michigan And he tastes like Jack when I’m kissing him So I told him that I never really liked his friends Now he’s gone and he’s calling me a bitch again. Bad At Love

I’ve missed your calls for months it seems Don’t realize how mean I can be ‘Cause I can sometimes treat the people That I love like jewelry. Sorry

Said he tried to phone me, but I never have time He said that I never listen, but I don’t even try. Alone

Been through the ups Yeah the ups and the downs with me Got a whole lot of love But you don’t wanna spread it ’round with me, yeah. Now or Never

She doesn’t kiss me on the mouth anymore ‘Cause it’s more intimate, than she thinks we should get She doesn’t look me in the eyes anymore Too scared of what she’ll see, somebody holding me. Strangers

There’s a guy that lives in the garden state And he told me that we’d make it ’til we graduate So I told him that the music would be worth the wait But he wants me in the kitchen with a dinner plate. Bad At Love

So I’m sorry to my unknown lover Sorry that I can’t believe That anybody ever really Starts to fall in love with me. Sorry

I got a new place in Cali, but I’m gone every night So I fill it with strangers so they keep on the lights. Alone

I’m turnin’ off the light right now I’m callin’ it a night now Wishin’ you were ’round with me But you’re in a different town than me. Now or Never

Said that we’re not lovers, we’re just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all. Strangers

I’m bad at love (Ooh-ooh) But you can’t blame me for tryin’ You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’ You were the one (Ooh-ooh) That could finally fix me Lookin’ at my history I’m bad at love. Bad At Love

And so it seems I broke your heart My ignorance has struck again I failed to see it from the start And tore you open ’til the end. Sorry

I know you’re dying to meet me But I can just tell you this Baby, as soon as you meet me You’ll wish that you never did. Alone

We’ve been through it all But you could never spit it out for me Tryna talk to a wall But you could never tear it down for me, yeah. Now or Never

I miss the mornings with you laying in my bed I miss the memories replaying in my head I miss the thought of a forever, you and me But all you’re missing is my body, oh. Strangers
