Raise The Flag

[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
