Announcing the new record, the singer said: "For me, this album is about growing pains and about trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life and exactly what I want to say in my songs."

I am writing today to let you guys know that my sophomore album GUTS is coming out September 8th! Writing that sentence feels so surreal!! I made the bulk of this album during my 19th year on this earth. a year that for me, was filled with lots of confusion, mistakes, awkwardness nd good old fashioned teen angst. I made it with my friend Dan in between New York & LA and im so very proud of it. I cannot express how excited I am to embark on this new chapter of my life with you guys. see you in September 8th!!!! With all the thanks in the world!"

What are the lyrics to Vampire?

Here are the lyrics to the first single from the new album:

Hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about? Just what you wanted Look at you, cool guy, you got it I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise I loved you truly You gotta laugh at the stupidity 'Cause I've made some real big mistakes But you make the worst one look fine I should've known it was strange You only come out at night I used to think I was smart But you made me look so naïve The way you sold me for parts As you sunk your teeth into me, oh Bloodsucker, famef**ker Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called them crazy too You're so convincing How do you lie without flinching? (How do you lie? How do you lie? How do you lie?) Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, f**ked up little thrill Can't figure out just how you do it and God knows I never will Went for me and not her 'Cause girls your age know better I've made some real big mistakes But you make the worst one look fine I should've known it was strange You only come out at night I used to think I was smart But you made me look so naïve The way you sold me for parts As you sunk your teeth into me, oh Bloodsucker, famef**ker Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire You said it was true love, but wouldn't that be hard? You can't love anyone 'cause that could mean you had a heart I tried to help you out, now I know that I can't 'Cause how you think's the kind of thing I'll never understand I've made some real big mistakes But you make the worst one look fine I should've known it was strange You only come out at night I used to think I was smart But you made me look so naïve The way you sold me for parts As you sunk your teeth into me, oh Bloodsucker, famef**ker Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire
