[chorus 1] A boy in sequins starts a fight Under fluorescent lights Drops like a shooting star on contact Cheap flash immortality Caught collapsing photogenically Knocked the fuck out to applause Bad decisions shot cinematically Every conversation sounds profound When the bass can drown it out A beautiful lack of concentration All style, no survival instinct Loud, overdressed, and chemically optimistic Nobody here is built for moderation The room would reject it on principle [Pre-Chorus] Everybody wants a night worth surviving But nobody’s ready for the ride home We’re leaving parts of ourselves behind Somewhere between euphoria and damage Chorus Are you in or are you out (Don’t go careful on us now) Are you in or are you out (Don’t kill the momentum now) Hands up, lights down Are you in or are you out Don’t look around If you’re waiting for permission You’re already too late now [Verse 2] There’s no skeletons in our closet Turned all our dirty secrets into anecdotes The room keeps turning shame into entertainment Nobody even pretends to be embarrassed now We’re those kind of kids Who mistake self-destruction for charisma Bad habits for personalities Treat repetition like something new Like every terrible decision Could become a breakthrough… But we’re horrible people Trying to justify all the damage That we do, (that we do) [BRIDGE] I romanticize every low in my life make a story out of strife just to feel more alive I say I don’t care but i'm painfully aware of the light, of the glare of the weight of a stare I should have better sense, but I’ve always liked suspense. I keep giving bad decisions just enough intelligence to survive the night [Pre-Chorus] Everybody wants a night worth surviving But nobody’s ready for the ride home We’re leaving parts of ourselves behind Somewhere between euphoria and damage Chorus Are you in or are you out (Don’t go careful on us now) Are you in or are you out (Don’t kill the momentum now) Hands up, lights down Are you in or are you out Don’t look around If you’re waiting for permission You’re already too late now
