[Chorus: Florence Welch & mgk]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn (Kells, uh)
[Verse 1: mgk]
All these pretty lights
Can't you see 'em? (Uh)
Endless nights
In my life's museum (Uh)
Where we see our heroes
And pretend to be 'em (Uh)
And we seize the day
Carpe diem (Uh)
Previous to this dream state
I had leftovers on each plate
Left shoe all tattered up
From this long journey, my feet ache
Left the life that I lived 'cause
Every day was just replays
And I dreamed big (Big)
Walked around in my PJs and my street days
Are still here (Yeah)
Never changed like I still wear (Wear) the same pair (Pair)
Phone call, what for?
We ain't long distance, I'm still there (What up?)
Still on the blocks where gun cocks and gunshots
Are more familiar of a sound than what's hot
Twelve dollar showers at truck stops
Would give anybody motivation that you must not lose this one shot
[Chorus: Florence Welch & mgk]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn (Yeah)
[Verse 2: mgk]
(Demon days) Evil nights
(Happy hours) Frequent flights
(God flow) People's strife
(Hear it once) Speak it twice
Hearts never break even (Even)
And they change color like seasons (Seasons)
Backs turn like treason (Treason)
But somehow, you swear you ain't leaving
Follow me now (Now), follow me now (Now)
Spoonfuls of sugar and handfuls of medicine
Help it go down, help it go down
I was just a fool in a room full of Edisons
Look at me now, look at me now
Feel my words (Look at this sound)
Reminiscin' on when I was lookin' out on the city
Wishin' a million motherfuckers gave me that crown
Bitch, I run this town
[Chorus: Florence Welch]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the—
[Outro: mgk]
Kells
All of the people out there with me right now
Raise your motherfuckin' flags
See, this is the beginning
This is ours, this is Black Flag
