lost americana (2025)












outlaw overture lyrics - mgk

Can't shut me up
I put my faith in a loaded gun, they
Try to cut me down
I was raised in a dying town, yeah

I miss my drugs
They've been my friends since twenty-one, still
I'm burning out
You'll probably die before I make you proud, yeah

All the pages are blank till my life goes to shit
I know I do that on purpose just to write again

Paint my car black (Paint it black)
Burn my last check (Burn it all)
Lose all contact (Gone again)
Fake my own death (Fuck it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Yeah)

Run, rebel, run
Don't let them turn you into what they want, I'm
Bad to the bone
Two wheels and the body's chrome, yeah

My speech still slurs
I started drinking after I left church, but
I still can't sleep
This medication doesn't work on me, no

Paint my car black (Paint it black)
Burn my last check (Burn it all)
Lose all contact (Gone again)
Fake my own death (Fuck it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive
Make me feel like I'm alive (Yeah, yeah)

Take me somewhere cheap
Where the livin' is easy
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

I feel
Confined by societal norms
I was born to walk the line
Survived bein' insecure
But it led to my decline

This time I don't think I'll turn back
This time I'ma do shit my way
I'm gone by the time they come back
This route is a one-road highway
Same face in a brand new wardrobe
My old clothes in gasoline
Smoke hand-rolled cigs, I'm an old soul
I feel just like James Dean

Take me somewhere cheap
Where the livin' is easy
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

What's left behind
What's left behind
Can't take it with me
Nothing's left behind
Nothing's left behind
Can't take it with me

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

cliché lyrics - mgk

Tell me, would you wait for me?
Baby, I'm a rolling stone
I got a lot of right in me
But I don't want to say this wrong
Tell me, would you stay with me?
Maybe we could make this home
You should run away with me
Even if you're better off alone

I like that you like me
I kissed your lips, you got good taste
I like that you like me
I can close my eyes and draw your face
If you take this chance
I'll give you oxygen to breathe me in
But I'll say sorry in advance, mmm

My head's a mess
It's like that every day, and
I'll try my best
It sounds cliché, but

Tell me, would you wait for me?
Baby, I'm a rolling stone
I got a lot of right in me
But I don't want to say this wrong
Tell me, would you stay with me?
Maybe we could make this home
You should run away with me
Even if you're better off alone

Your name is a neon light in the sky when darkness surrounds us
Let's leave this town, get married, go to Vegas, and create nostalgia
Tell me, will you save this dance?
I feel my knees get weak beneath me
I know this night might be our last, mmm

My head's a mess
It's like that every day, and
I'll try my best
It sounds cliché, but

Tell me, would you wait for me?
Baby, I'm a rolling stone
I got a lot of right in me
But I don't want to say this wrong
Tell me, would you stay with me?
Maybe we could make this home
You should run away with me
Even if you're better off alone

Tell me, would you wait, wait, wait, wait?
Wait for me
Tell me, would you wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait for me?

Tell me, would you wait for me?
Baby, I'm a rolling stone
I got a lot of right in me
But I don't want to say this wrong
I don't want to say this wrong

Tell me, would you wait for me?
Baby, I'm a rolling stone
I got a lot of right in me
But I don't want to say this wrong
Say this wrong
Tell me, would you stay with me?
Maybe we could make this home
Make this home
You should run away with me
Even if you're better off alone

Tell me, would you wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait for me?
Tell me, would you wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait for me?

Wait for me

dont wait run fast lyrics - mgk

How many of you really know you're alive?
They pulled me over doing 135
Show me the money and I'll show you the lies
Everyone's equal till it's time to divide

Let's go

I got a problem I don't need to define
She's my reason, my reason for decline
I want love even if it's for the night
and I feel like I'm falling but won't fall into line

Oh no

You want this, you got that
You want this, you got that, uh

Don't wait, watch 'em walk right past you
Run fast, run fast while you have the chance
Don't speak, let 'em look right at you
Run back, run back while you have the chance
You want this, you got that, yeah, yeah
You want this, you got that, yeah, yeah

I wasn't raised by a millionaire
I can't be saved by a digital prayer
I can't be tamed by a man in a chair
They say that I'm going to Hell, I say we're already there

Oh no

Take a picture if you want it to last
Maybe one day you'll be happy at last
I got the answers so I don't need to ask
I know that this was not an accident, I wanted to crash

Let's go

Don't wait, watch 'em walk right past you
Run fast, run fast while you have the chance
Don't speak, let 'em look right at you
Run back, run back while you have the chance
You want this, you got that, yeah, yeah
You want this, you got that, yeah, yeah

Smoking cigarettes down to the bone, uh-huh
Calling people friends I don't even know, uh-huh
Rollin' dollar bills, do it off the phone, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh

Watch the world pass when I'm on the road, uh-huh
Where do I belong? I don't even know, uh-huh
Fake my happiness with diamonds and pearls, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh

Don't wait, watch 'em walk right past you
Run fast, run fast while you have the chance
Don't speak, let 'em look right at you
Run back, run back while you have the chance
(Open your head and kiss the sky) You want this, you got that, yeah, yeah
(Don't come back for me this time) You want this, you got that, yeah, yeah

goddamn lyrics - mgk

Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands, yeah
Goddamn, try to understand
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn

Every night I drive in the summer
Head out of the window, I'm a skydive jumper
Two bags like the eyes they under
Chasing good times till we die, motherfucker

Wasted years but kept my soul
I always knew my home was rock 'n' rollin'
Days are short, before I go
I want my casket laced with guns and roses

Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands, yeah
Goddamn, try to understand
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn

Goddamn
Goddamn

I swear too much, fuck yeah
Tell me something I don't know
I care too much, so what?
Life's short and I spent too many hours doing nothing about it
And I spent too much money that never amounted to nothing
I've been drowning in something, I'm a downer on substances
I'm a functioning junkie turning my life around

Wasted years but kept my soul
I always knew my home was rock 'n' rollin'
Days are short, before I go
I want my casket laced with guns and roses

Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands, yeah
Goddamn, try to understand
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn

Never had a chance to be young. Goddamn
No one grows old where I'm from. Goddamn
Going through the motions all alone. Goddamn
I can't lift this weight off of my shoulders. Goddamn

Feel like they forgot my city. Goddamn
No one sittin' shotgun with me. Goddamn
I can feel the cracks in my bones. Goddamn
I don't think I'm ever goin' home. Goddamn

See something pretty, then I look too close
Do something shitty, so my darkness shows
Push you away till you let me go
Sick of who I am, goddamn
Goddamn

vampire diaries lyrics - mgk

I sleep against the bedroom wall
The sun comes out, and I can't do nothing at all
I swear the life I live's so boring
I don't know why they make it look so cool in stories

'Cause I can't leave till it's night time
And I can't drink what I want
Try to find the silver lining
But it'll kill me if I touch
And just walking in the daylight
Is something I've never done
'Cause I was born to fly
But baby, I would die to run
So

Take, take, take me out
There's so much I haven't seen
Don't let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out
I know how it's gonna end
But it's too late to turn around

I feel the heat on my skin, but I don't care if it hurts
I found the fountain of youth, and turns out it's a curse
I seen every cemetery, never been in a church
I put a cross around my neck just to find out if it burns
So

Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
There's so much I haven't seen
Don't let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
I know how it's gonna end
But it's too late to turn around

I let my fangs show
Smile for the cameras
Cut both my wings so
No one can tell
Find me at twilight
Turning to ashes
If it's my last breath
I'm happy it's hell

Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
There's so much I haven't seen
Don't let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
I know how it's gonna end
But it's too late to turn around

Hey
Yeah
'Cause I was born to fly, but baby
I would die to run
'Cause I was born to fly, but baby
I would die to run

miss sunshine lyrics - mgk

Hey Miss Sunshine, I took a tab and felt the sky
It's a good life and then it's bad, but that's alright
On the bright side, we all sin and sympathize
So in the meantime, might as well enjoy the ride

Four seats and five people, 'bout to take a (Day trip)
Roll the windows, roll one up, let's make a (Spaceship)
Where's the volume? Turn it up, who got the (Playlist)
Everybody sings the song, just like we're (Famous)

We were royalty in a cheap hotel
Dazed and confused but we clean up well
Didn't need no help for a hell of a time, uh-uh (Yeah)

It's a long way home
It's a long way home
Don't know which way to go
It's a long way home, mm-hmm
It's a long way home, mmm

These bad decisions I'm making, is just me avoiding boredom
Call it ironic, I got money and poor decorum
Feels like I'm flying off coffee and Coca-a-a, Cola
Only lights on my horizon are ones that pull me over (Damn)

I'm a drifter, let me go
It's the only life I know
Chasin' vultures and black crows
To the promised land I'm sold

We were royalty in a cheap hotel
Dazed and confused but we clean up well
Didn't need no help for a hell of a time, uh-uh, alright

It's a long way home
It's a long way home
Don't know which way to go
It's a long way home, mm-hmm
It's a long way home

I got my shades on (It's always like there's a line)
Because the day is long (There's a line and then you just click on it)
I'm on the highway, uh (In my key bag)
I've got to move on (That's what I'm talking about)

sweet coraline lyrics - mgk

Lady
I just met you, I don't know your name
Saved you from a taxi in the rain
You're so rude but I'll hold my complaints
You might be dumb, but let me explain

Sweet Coraline
I'm hanging by a thread
I can't let go of things that you said
Sweet Coraline
I'm hanging by a thread
You're never gonna see me again

Lately
People talk like I don't have a brain
But both my ears hear all the words you're saying
When you're out with your friends at the bar
And you act like you aren't who you actually are
And you're drunk and there's one me, but you see three more
Can you count? Huh, fuck you, three, four

Sweet Coraline
I'm hanging by a thread
I can't let go of things that you said
Sweet Coraline
I'm hanging by a thread
You're never gonna see me again

Looking for an exit, okay, let's go
I can see your silhouette through the window
Splash my boots in a puddle of mud
What's a good night if you killed the buzz?

Looking for an exit, okay, let's go
I can see your silhouette through the window
Splash my boots in a puddle of mud
What's a good night if you killed the buzz?

Sweet Coraline
I'm hanging by a thread
I can't let go of things that you said
Sweet Coraline
I'm hanging by a thread
You're never gonna see me again

Lady
I just met you, I don't know your name
Nice to meet you, but was it nice though?
Lady
I thought the song was still going
That's hilarious, oh, okay

indigo lyrics - mgk

This feels like the opposite of real life
On my way to Valhalla on a steel bike
Living fantasy like J. K. Rowling
I'm J. R. R. Tolkien these spliffs, I love smoking
My hands full of stones and gold, I'm lord of the rings
Needles sew new clothes but it's more than it seems
I've seen dreams implode, seen teens turn old before they grown
Burnt out before they fade away slow

I used to pick you up, now I don't
There's some things I would rewind, but I don't have the remote
There's some things I manifested I wish I never wrote
And all my friends really family 'cause my bloodline's ghost (Uh-uh)
Yeah, it's the life we chose
Highways and Hellcats with angel wing doors
I know I look back, the path went rogue
I know I look back, I'm halfway home

So far away from where you are
Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up, but I'm not sorry
And I will meet you where you are
Yeah, I make my own luck because I don't believe in karma

I stopped counting my age because my face still look the same
So instead of years, I use pain
And if that's the case, then I'm five hundred
I've been in a race with my trauma, can't outrun it
No wonder why I drive like I'm being chased
Pack up and move houses instead of renovate
Put my newborn daughter to bed at eight, then I'm back on the interstate
Chain smoking, lookin' like I'm 'bout to hyperventilate

Got everything to celebrate on the outside
Still, none of that eliminates what is inside
And since I gotta find a way to cope
I'll start by reversing some of the words I wrote
Instead of being a demon, be a beacon of hope
'Cause one day we're hangin' out, the next day you're hangin' from a rope, uh

So far away from where you are
Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up, but I'm not sorry
And I will meet you where you are
Yeah, I make my own luck because I don't believe in karma

Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up, but I'm not sorry
I make my own luck because I don't believe in karma

Yeah, this feels like the opposite of real life
Uh, yeah
This feels like the opposite of real life
Uh, yeah
Mm-mm

starman lyrics - mgk

I'm terrified of how I'm gonna look when I'm old
I can't even see you 'cause the room's full of smoke
I don't wake up until the sun gets low
Seven billion people but we all die alone, so

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
Baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listenin' when you say
Goodbye

Says she wanna see the real me, so I'm standing naked
Try to understand who I am, so overrated
We can get close, touch lips, have conversation
From the midwest but we need Californication

I've been up for day-ay-ay-ay-ays
Cuttin' up the yay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Rolling up the flay-ay-ay-ay-ame
That's a three way-ay-ay-ay-ay

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
Baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listenin' when you say
Goodbye

I could count the hours and the minutes that it's been without you
Take a heart and break it, if you wanna know, I'll show you how to
You're not here in person, so all I can do is sing about you
I've been hearing rumors from the people that you keep around you
And, yeah, I know your friends don't like me, and
You're unlikely to
Think I could change 'cause you know I'm born hopeless
Love on the brain but it came from the doses

I've been up for day-ay-ay-ay-ays
Cuttin' up the yay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Rolling up the flay-ay-ay-ay-ame
That's a three way-ay-ay-ay-ay

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
Baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listenin' when you say
Goodbye

And these four chords could make me cry
When I'm with you, I feel like I could die
And that would be alright
Alright, yeah

I'm in the
Wrong place, wrong planet, uh
Wrong place, wrong planet, uh
Run away, keep runnin', yeah
Run away, keep runnin', mmm
Wrong place, wrong planet, uh
Wrong place, wrong planet, uh
Run away, keep runnin', uh

tell me whats up lyrics - mgk

Aye, I'm doin' this like nobody's listening
Like I'm just writing for myself, but I don't know, whatever

I used to ride the Blue line straight from school to work
They robbed me for my Beats by Dre's on 79th
I was in first grade when I learned how to curse
I got friends that didn't make it to be twenty-nine

It's all a simulation anyways
That's the only way that I could justify these glitches in the system
I took LSD for thirty days
X-rays showed holes in my brain, I lost memories, things are different

I lost contact, sky's the limit
Even with the ability to have a fuck, I wouldn't give it
Everyone's attention span too short to be specific
I made so many songs that when I'm gone, I'm never finished
Co-dependent
When I'm isolated, I'm reminded that the voices I silenced are still coexisting
I watched porn and was mad I did it
Went to church, put extra in the collection plate just for sinning

Yeah
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much

Yeah
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much

I'm goin' home to the city
I'm goin' rogue from the Illuminati theories about how I've been winning
My soul was always prone to new beginnings
They told me pick a genre, I picked them all, I'll flow with whatever moves me like I'm swimming
But I'm just one of many
Artists trying to spark a renaissance of speaking our thoughts so we can stop pretending
They skipped the body of work because of how I'm dressing
At least my public crucifixion got the message spreading
I was gonna turn the volume down, but then I realized that I like this song more than I like you
I typed a couple pages out that I know I'll regret sending
So I'll keep it short like a haiku, okay

Yeah
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much (Wake up like)

Yeah
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much

It's been about forty five seconds since my last cigarette
This is the only vice I got right now, being sober sucks

Yo, I'm so Pisces, all my answers are planetary
I can't get the word depression out my vocabulary
I got Viking blood pumping through my capillaries
So it's no secret how I defeated all my adversaries
I need a New Year's resolution like it's January
I used to drown in a pint of vodka and cranberry
'Cause underwater, you can't hear all of the commentary
And my wallet's lighter from sendin' my homies commissary
We keep it silent where I'm from, it's not a lot of sharing
And I'm not in a cell, but all my problems solitary
Therapy came and helped me lift some of this weight I'm bearing
Double Xs on my neck express what I hold honorary
Gang, gang

Yeah
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much (Wake up like)

Yeah
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much

If I can make you smile, then would you smile again?
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
If you can help me laugh, then help me laugh again
Yeah, uh, tell me what the fuck's up

Whole album made right here in my living room, yeah
I still wish we kept that line that's like, "With the same crew though
At dinner eatin' hamachi crudo
My brother Rook don't eat nothing but cheeseburgers"
If you know, you know, yeah
Day ones

cant stay here lyrics - mgk

Somewhere between another good night and my own apathy
No one can see the me that I hide, my misery hates company
What's another cup half full? All these people I don't know
Someone turn the lights on, when does this place close?

'Cause I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
I don't need to know where you disappear to
Everyone's high, it's time to go home
Don't say you're gone, just leave me alone
I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here

On this lonely night, it's the last call
On the jukebox, I spent my last dime on a sad song (Mm-mm-mm)
What's another cigarette smoked? Wasted words I spoke
Someone turn the lights on, when does this place close?

'Cause I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
I don't need to know where you disappear to
Everyone's high, it's time to go home (Everyone's high, time to go home)
Don't say you're gone, just leave me alone
I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here

5 a.m., no one's home, is this my fault?
Sleep with my phone on loud, hoping you'll call
But it's silent, why can't I accept that you won't?
Let me let this go
Let me let this go

I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
I don't need to know where you disappear to
Everyone's high, it's time to go home (Everyone's high, time to go home)
Don't say you're gone, just leave me alone
I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here

Everyone's high, time to go home
Can't stay here
Everyone's high, time to go home
Can't stay here

treading water lyrics - mgk

And oh, what a life to live
When you're dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love

Lie awake stargazing, I won't sleep till morning
Echoes of your words sayin', "Don't write a song for me"
Everything is wrong in me, raised under wings of demons
And even if God's with me, without you I have no reason
This'll be the last time you hear me say sorry
That'll be the last tear you waste on me crying
I broke this home
And just like my father, I'll die alone

And oh, what a life to live
When you're dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love

I'm lookin' at the kids' faces sittin' in the driveway
While I pack up suitcases, I just ruined their holiday
And lies don't die, they grow
And everything you try to hide eventually shows
The beast killed the beauty, the last petal fell from the rose
And I loved you truly, that's why it's hard to let it go
I broke this home
But I'll change for our daughter so she's not alone

Oh, what a life to live
When you're dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love
And oh, what a life to live (Oh, what a life to live)
When you're dying for someone to give (When you're dying)
To give you their love (To give you their love)
To give you their love (Mmm)

I wrote this in room 3, spending Christmas in rehabilitation
I got no phone, just a cell that I'm trapped in while my home's vacant
I'm an inpatient but I lost patience, I just broke something but I'm fixated
On the gossip that I know is happenin' while I'm just being left out of the conversation
It's a complicated relationship, that's nobody's business, but I'm in this business, face it
I've been hiding from the ideation that the public has of ruinin' my reputation
And it's crazy seeing quotations from a source that somebody curated
'Cause for me, y'all can feel pure hatred, but just keep our baby out the situation
It's a long road to redemption and a shorter one to damnation
I know which one is my destination, but the journey doesn't come without the frustrations
Like it doesn't come without the temptations, and failure can lead to an elevation
'Cause sometimes you gotta see what's waiting on the other side to know your soul's worth savin'

And oh, what a life to live
When you're dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love

orpheus - mgk

We grew a tree back in the garden
With a celestial seed that fell down to us from the stars
The sun rose high and killed our shadows
There's more to see under the light than in the dark
Eurydice died from a viper
The girl Orpheus knew he'd die for
Go to the Underworld and fight for
'Cause life's just death if I don't have you
So I'll find Hell to be trapped into to get back to you
To get back to you

Just for this moment
Can I hold you?
Feel your heartbeat
Till it fades
And in this moment
It's me and you only
I will love you
For all my days

Somewhere in a different realm, we're still together
Somehow, I'll find my way to you again
Shipwrecked, but I hold hopes of buried treasure
I'll cry ten thousand tears so I can swim
Came up for air, my world's froze over
Strands of your hair still on my shoulder
And gravity's pull was never stronger
Than my soul's cord attached to you
I'm lost, but my heart's got the map to you, to get back to you
To get back to you

Just for this moment
Can I hold you?
Feel your heartbeat
Till it fades
And in this moment
It's me and you only
I will love you
For all my days

Do you remember when you mistakenly thought that I could make you happy?
I wish that we could still dream that dream
I won't let you love me, but I can't let you leave me
It's a tragedy and we've all seen that scene
