While your friends are growing up and taking vows You’re still giving all your body will allow But all the boys are gonna love you now And your talent means so much to me Now I can’t breathe And my knees start to shake You’re gonna be my heartbreak My little magazine girl My little magazine girl Slip us a smile Show the camera your world My little magazine girl The Jesus freaks are knocking down your door Calling you a sinner and a whore But all the boys are gonna love you more And your art it means so much to me Now I can’t breathe And my knees start to shake You’re gonna be my heartbreak My little magazine girl My little magazine girl Slip us a smile Show the camera your world My little magazine girl The devil’s come and taken me over My love for you is big And it’s only getting harder The devil’s come and taken me over Stared into your eyes But now my eyes are creeping lower Now I can’t breathe And my knees start to shake You’re gonna be my heartbreak My little magazine girl My little magazine girl Slip us a smile Show the camera your world My little magazine girl Show us your world Show us your world Show us your world My little magazine

Girl you say you want me Girl you say you need me But you only want me for your soul And bleeding heart But if you say it’s over You’ll make it much too easy And, oh my god, I’ll want you for myself And nobody else It’s like your bleeding heart Is spilling on the floor Crawling in the dark It’s coming back for more With all its faith in me Girl you say you need me It’s like a contradiction ‘Cause even when I cheat you sell me on Your bleeding heart But if you say it’s over I’ll grovel for forgiveness And, oh my god, I’ll want you for myself And nobody else Girl you say you want me Girl you say you need me And you’re gonna try to save my soul But I won’t change It’s like your bleeding heart Is spilling on the floor Crawling in the dark It’s coming back for more You’re coming back for more You’re coming back for more With all your faith in me

No Soul 03:37
When we were young Hymns were sung but never sold Never sold You flung your hands In His plans, they’re getting cold Getting cold If you’re fearful Finger them out If you’re vengeful Scream when they shout If you’re wealthy Blessed is your name If you’re wicked Live with no shame You’ve got no soul You’ve got no soul Soul, soul The debt parents paid Prophets pray for little kids Little kids Faced with their fate The Maker’s bait swallows them in Swallows them If you’re fearful Finger them out If you’re vengeful Scream when they shout If you’re wealthy Blessed is your name If you’re wicked Live with no shame You’ve got no soul You’ve got no soul Soul, soul One chance to toss Shit when you’ve lost, see where it lands Where it lands Your faith in him Struck on a whim for all your fans All your fans You’ve got no soul You’ve got no soul Soul, soul SOUL

about

The Modern Egotist...he puts his heart in capitalism and wears nothing but an Armani tag on his sleeve. He evokes the best and worst in all of us, the person we secretly want to be, the person we love to hate. Our debt is his bank account. We work and he plays. Our dreams are his reality. There's nothing more to him than what can be reflected in mirror, a tangible representation of all our hopes and aspirations slowly fading.

"Fantastic bass lines and rhythmic guitar riffs produce a great sound for some rocking summer tunes." -We Are Unseen, August 2012

"If you miss the good ole' days when a rock band consisted of the basic four...then you absolutely have to check out the sexy, back-to-basics rock 'n' roll of Burning Jet Black...old school with a modern twist." -The Deli Magazine, July 2012

Top Eight Emerging Artists, July 2012, Kings of A&R

"Feels dirty in a good way." -FreeIndie, July 2012

"These gritty, sexy boys give rock something to be proud of. Drums, bass, and grrrreat raw, manly vocals...the Strokes meets the Foo Fighters after a few shots with the Rolling Stones...open your ears to one of the most tantalizing rock experiences of the year." -Music Under Fire, July 2012

"(N)ew ideas and new inspirations...and the result is brilliant." -Jungle Indie Rock, June 2012

"(A) snarling rocker...the sound of what modern rock radio should be playing these days." -Given and Taken in Ink, May 2012
