"ACES" lyrics

"ACES"

We're playin' aces high, but you're wild like me
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch, but they're just out of reach
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven

Prodigal son of a bitch
Couldn't help but love me
I'm a disc written over too many times
Now, I've gone just a little bit fuzzy
I'm grindin', I'm grindin' my teeth in my sleep
Oh, I'm feeling the stress down into my dreams
And trust me everything I am is yours
Just say the word
All my russian nestin' dolls of sadness
Or so I've heard

We keep the fire alive, through tryin' times
Through the slow decay and the rapid decline

We're playin' aces high, but you're wild like me
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch, but they're just out of reach
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven

Just keep pullin' the string, watch it as it unwinds
I've got a buzz for freedom, tryna find some peace inside
And I've taken, I've taken all that I can take
Oh, just one more poem to kill the pain

So we keep the fire alive, through tryin' times
Through the slow decay and the rapid decline

We're playin' aces high, but you're wild like me
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch, but they're just out of reach
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven

(We're playin' aces high, we're playin' aces high)
(We're playin' aces high, we're playin' aces high)
Oh, we got dreams to crush, got lives to live

(We're playin' aces high, we're playin' aces high)
But don't stress if you forget my love, it's right where you left it
(We're playin' aces high, we're playin' aces high)

We're playin' aces high, but you're wild like me
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven (heaven)
And our orbits touch, but they're just out of reach
So we'll dynamite the gates of heaven (dynamite)

And we keep the fire alive, through tryin' times (the fire alive)
Through the slow decay and the rapid decline
We're playin' aces high (aces high)
We're playin' aces high (aces high)


"ACES" was released as a single via Atlantic Records on the 9th of November, 2026, accompanied by the music video (directed by Brendan Walter) which had the following in its official description, "Insane to think something that started in the petri dish of knights of Columbus halls could end up at soldier field. Honestly, insane." The single was produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Neil Avron.
Fall Out Boy teased this song on their "Twilight Town Mall" interactive website since "ACES" was meant to accompany their headline Twilight of the Punks tour. The band commented on it on the song's release day, "Next year join us as we for the biggest version of this art project yet: Twilight of the Punks. The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and The Story So Far are coming along for the ride in North America. A Day To Remember and Neck Deep will be joining us in Europe and the UK. [...] We wanted to create a song that could be a soundtrack for this moment."
