Cigarettes and drunken fights
Illicit pills and flashing lights
You won't get the best of me
You wasted nights
You're not my addiction
Yeah, I'll be alright

When wasted nights
Become wasted years
Brutal comedowns
Are temporary tears
Because it's worth the deflation
It's worth all the fear
For those few manic hours
When there's no one else here

No, I'm not interested
In your moral compass
And I don't give a damn
About your ethics and rules
I don't think you're a poison
And I don't think you're a fool
But after all, I'm not in this
Because my friends think it's cool
I've just always been looking
For a much hotter fuel

These tattoos and burns
Are a reminder to me
That it all comes at a cost
None of this is free
If we count all the lines
And marks that leave us frail
None of us are role models
We're all just cautionary tails
I'm pretty over it, actually. It's just easy to write about.
