Accident

Written by ROYAL
Verse 1 Blue light, shadow on your skin Say you're leaving, then you lean back in Sweet talk, but your body loud We're bad news in a quiet crowd Phone dies, morals too You taste like something I shouldn't do Every promise you pretend Breaks the second that I bend Pre-Chorus You love the way I cross the line Say it's wrong but you like the crime Heaven's close but I pull you down Halo slipping to the ground We're both sinners, say the word I'm at my best when I'm at my worst Chorus Late nights, sins on my tongue You say you're done, but you're not done City lights got us fucked up bad Say you hate me, then you call me back Love you dangerous, love you fake Say my name like it's a mistake If loving me's a crime, don't panic I'll make it look romantic Verse 2 Red wine truth, secrets we keep You say too much when you don't sleep You know my touch leaves evidence But you still let me jump the fence I'll bury you under the Hollywood sign And make it look like an accident Your friends won't know, you'll swear you're fine But you're afflicted by the damage I meant Post-Chorus Don't act surprised when it hurts You knew my love was the worst Say you're clean but you relapse Every time you come right back Back… You come right back Bridge We're both sinners, don't pretend You'd do it all again On your knees in the consequence Baby, would you sin for me? Put this song on, lose your grip Kissing like it's a power trip Run from me, but you'll reverse I'm at my best when I'm at my worst Final Chorus Late nights, sins on my tongue You say you're done, but you're not done City lights got us fucked up bad Say you hate me, then you call me back Love you dangerous, love you fake Say my name like it's a mistake If loving me's a crime, don't panic I'll make it look romantic

Lipstick

Written by ROYAL
Verse 1 Late night, headlights in your eyes Backseat thrill, but I gotta disguise Perfume on me that I shouldn't wear Tryna breathe while I'm caught in your stare Text her "on my way," she's waiting at home But my mind's racing down streets I roam Mirror shows the marks I can't erase Guilty grin, I'm addicted to the chase Pre-Chorus Keys in the ignition, heartbeat in time Tryna play normal while you're on my mind She says "I love you," I say "me too" But inside I'm burning, thinking of you Chorus Lipstick on me, can't let her see Caught in the middle, between you and me I say "I'm fine," but you know the truth Running from love, addicted to you Hands on my chest, trying to stay calm But your touch is a drug, I'm under your charm She trusts me, I lie, it's a crime But I'll chase this thrill, one night at a time Verse 2 Dark streets, your laugh in my head I feel alive, but I should be in bed Shadows move, your whispers close I taste the sin, I love it the most Phone in my pocket, messages unsent Guilt creeping in, but I can't repent She's the one, but you're my escape Every stolen moment, I'll never forsake Pre-Chorus Keys in the ignition, heartbeat in time Tryna play normal while you're on my mind She says "I love you," I say "me too" But inside I'm burning, thinking of you Chorus Lipstick on me, can't let her see Caught in the middle, between you and me I say "I'm fine," but you know the truth Running from love, addicted to you Hands on my chest, trying to stay calm But your touch is a drug, I'm under your charm She trusts me, I lie, it's a crime But I'll chase this thrill, one night at a time Bridge One kiss too many, can't resist The thrill, the heat, your dangerous twist If I get caught, I'll pay the price But right now, I'm lost in your vice Chorus / Outro Lipstick on me, can't let her see Caught in the middle, between you and me I say "I'm fine," but you know the truth Running from love, addicted to you

Burn Notice

Written by ROYAL
Verse 1 Late night, city lights, your body on my mind Smoke curls, we collide, leaving all control behind Whispers like a fire, teasing where I want you most Every touch a secret, yeah, you know I like it close Pre-Chorus Don't tell me to stop, I don't do slow Pull me in deeper, let me lose control Electric on your skin, sparks under neon lights You and I, baby, burning through the night Chorus I want you, I want you, all night Turn it up, let me take you high No rules, no limits, only us I'm going down on you, burn notice, trust I want you, I want you, all night Let me make you lose your mind Keep it dark, keep it close, feel the heat Burn notice, baby, repeat Verse 2 Mirror on the wall, bodies tangled in the heat Your lips on mine, heartbeat racing, can't compete Candles dripping slow, shadows moving like a dance Every moan, every gasp, I'm addicted to the chance Pre-Chorus Don't tell me to stop, I don't do slow Pull me in deeper, let me lose control Electric on your skin, sparks under neon lights You and I, baby, burning through the night Chorus I want you, I want you, all night Turn it up, let me take you high No rules, no limits, only us I'm going down on you, burn notice, trust I want you, I want you, all night Let me make you lose your mind Keep it dark, keep it close, feel the heat Burn notice, baby, repeat Bridge Ashes on the sheets, smoke in the air Every move we make, they won't dare Hot and reckless, lost in sin Baby, let me in, let me in Final Chorus I want you, I want you, all night Turn it up, let me take you high No rules, no limits, only us I'm going down on you, burn notice, trust I want you, I want you, all night Let me make you lose your mind Keep it dark, keep it close, feel the heat Burn notice, baby, repeat Outro Burn notice… baby… Repeat…

Alkaline

Written by ROYAL · At My Worst
Verse 1 Baby, I wanna show you parts they never see Give you all of me, every ugly piece Something real enough to breathe in deep Let you live carefree when you're with me I could be the thing they can't guarantee I could be your calm, be your remedy Let your heartbeat sync up into mine Let me inside your mind tonight Forget the past, the stars aligned us for a reason All my spare time, yeah, I'm yours this evening Pre-Chorus So baby, will you be mine? I'll put your tears in rewind You hydrate me, alkaline Swear we're built by design Chorus Let's skip all the small talk Light one, let the walls talk Take you to the room, we could run it back, round two Never tasted something so sweet like you I could take you to the moon Yeah, I could take you to the moon Verse 2 Every little touch got me in a trance One look and I don't stand a chance World outside moving way too fast But in this moment we can make it last Tell me what you want, I'll make it true No one in the room but me and you If forever's just a night, that's fine Let me ruin you right Pre-Chorus So baby, will you be mine? I'll put your tears in rewind You hydrate me, alkaline Swear we're built by design Chorus Let's skip all the small talk Light one, let the walls talk Take you to the room, we could run it back, round two Never tasted something so sweet like you I could take you to the moon Yeah, I could take you to the moon

Green To Gold

Written by ROYAL · At My Worst
Verse 1 You feel like a song I forgot I knew Then it hits every time I look at you Something sweet but it won't sit still Like a quiet hand that bends my will Every glance leaves me out of place Like I'm drifting just to see your face In your eyes there's a shift in shade Like green turns gold when the light hits late Pre-Chorus You don't say much, but I feel it loud In the space when you're around There's a spark in the way you look Like a flame I can't unhook Chorus I'm in love with the fantasy of you Golden light in everything you do Sweet like honey, running through my veins Say my name like it's yours to claim Hazel green like a storm at dusk Gold and green when you turn to us Every glance got me hypnotized Like I'm falling through your eyes Pull me closer, don't say a thing I don't want truth, I want the dream Verse 2 Your hands trace slow like you're mapping me Like you know every part I keep Close enough just to blur the line Between what's yours and what is mine And your eyes don't stay the same They flicker soft then they start to change Like a warning I still ignore Even though I've felt this before Pre-Chorus You move like a secret I can't keep Even when you don't speak There's a pull every time you move Like I'm chosen just to lose Chorus I'm in love with the fantasy of you Golden light in everything you do Sweet like honey, running through my veins Say my name like it's yours to claim Hazel green like a storm at dusk Gold and green when you turn to us Every glance got me hypnotized Like I'm falling through your eyes Pull me closer, don't say a thing I don't want truth, I want the dream Bridge If you fade, I'll just fill the space With the colors I can't replace Green to gold in a single glance Like I never had a chance Static every time you're near Turning whispers crystal clear You don't have to stay the night You already live in my mind Final Chorus I'm in love with the fantasy of you Don't tell me what's fake or true Sweet like honey, I'm stuck on the taste Even if you drift away Hazel green, yeah you got me gone Shifting shades I can't move on Pull me closer into the blur I don't want you—I want her

48 Reasons

Written by ROYAL · At My Worst
Verse 1 She got 48 reasons why she wanna let me go Hidden in her notes app, paragraphs I'll never know Says I never listen, I just tell her what she needs Kiss her in the kitchen, then I vanish for a week She keeps counting every time I let her down Says she's tired of loving someone never around I tell her, "Baby, we're just complicated lately" But I can feel her slipping and it doesn't even phase me Pre-Chorus She says I don't call enough Only show up when I'm drunk Says I turn my phone off When she needs someone to want She keeps saying, "This can't stay the same…" I just pull her closer, whisper her name Chorus She got 48 reasons why she wanna break up with me All typed out clean in her notes app, 3:15 Says I don't love her right Says I don't hold her tight Says I only show up when it benefits me She keeps telling me something really needs to change But baby there's nothing that we can do to fix this, it's too late I'm just not built for forever, can't you see? And she's got 48 reasons why she shouldn't be with me Verse 2 She says something really needs to change I say maybe we're just wired this way You keep reaching for my heart But you don't even know how to play Now I don't even wanna touch you 'Cause you don't even touch me back No tension in the silence No fire in the black No build up, no foreplay, just static in the sheets You say you love me softly But you don't know what I need I'm your first, I get it Guess I should've seen the signs You're still learning how to love While I'm already halfway out your life And maybe that's unfair But I don't wanna teach you how If it doesn't feel electric Why are we pretending now? Pre-Chorus 2 She says I say sorry Just to do it all again Says she's losing who she is Trying to make me understand She keeps saying, "This can't stay the same…" But I don't even know how to change Chorus She got 48 reasons why she wanna break up with me All bullet-point heartbreak in her notes app memory Says I don't love her right Says I don't hold her tight Says I only show up when it benefits me She keeps telling me something really needs to change But baby there's nothing that we can do to fix this anyway I'm too far gone, you're too tired to believe And she's got 48 reasons why she shouldn't be with me Bridge Maybe I like being wanted More than I like being yours Maybe I crave the attention But I don't know what love's for You say love isn't hurting I say love's complicated You say I make you feel small Like you're constantly underrated And I don't say nothing I just let it bleed 'Cause I know you deserve better And it's not me Final Chorus You had 48 reasons and I gave you one more Watched you walk out crying, didn't chase you to the door Said I need my space Said I'm not that guy But the silence hits different when you're not by my side Now I got 48 texts that I'll never reply Your name on my screen but I let it die You had 48 reasons and they're all probably true But I'll blame it on you Like I always do.

Venom & Crimson

Written by ROYAL · At My Worst
Verse 1 I miss the way you taste, not your energy Feels like venom, toxic to me Shadows on my skin, but I want it more Your touch is a sin I can't ignore Never gonna sleep, up all night Craving every inch of you tonight Midnight whispers, heat in the dark Your lips are poison, leaving marks Pre-Chorus Pull me close, let me fall I want the rise before the crawl Bite deep, don't hesitate Make me yours, seal my fate We're both sinners, say the word I'm at my best when I'm at my worst Chorus Bite hard till I feel the blood drip down my neck Take me to the edge, I won't forget Your love's a venom, sweet and cursed Every kiss, I thirst worse and worse Verse 2 Cold hands, warm breath, I shiver slow Addicted to the scars you show We dance in red, hearts collide I'm losing sleep, but I don't mind The night is ours, the moon our crown I'll let you hunt me, drag me down Every bite is a dangerous thrill And I'll surrender, I always will Bridge 1 / Post-Chorus I want it raw, I want it deep Take me to places I can't keep Blood on your lips, fire in your eyes I'm yours tonight, no disguise Never gonna sleep, up all night Craving every inch of you tonight Bridge 2 / Electric Scars Come trace my scars, run your fingers slow Every touch makes my body glow Close enough to feel the spark Lighting fires in the dark Never gonna sleep, up all night Craving every inch of you tonight Final Chorus Bite hard till I feel the blood drip down my neck Take me to the edge, I won't forget Your love's a venom, sweet and cursed Every kiss, I thirst worse and worse Outro / Whisper Come trace my scars… Feels electric… Never gonna sleep… up all night… Bite hard… feel the blood…
