lyrics

What is a man to a king

And a king to a god?

What is a god to a devil putting up a facade?

I need a outlet now

I needa write this down…

(Write it down, write it all down)

VERSE 1

Hi.

It’s been a minute since we had a chat.

But time is finite, innit? Finna make it fast,

Success is a bitch, why complain that ya luck ain’t the best

When you’re rich and you’re famous and fuckin’ depressed

stuck in a mess of pretend pretense, uppers in the trash

Got a couple ins, and outs, that don’t involve crashes

So, “past me.”

You asked me “so how have ya been?”

Did you want fiction? Addiction? A public mental snappin’?

(Wow)

How did this happen?

You ready to rattle some bones?

Thinking I dipped,

To follow a script,

And never look back at the demons at home?

Raining shame inside the brain like bitch too bad you ain’t a keeper

Changing difficulty mid-way through the game to be a sleeper

Hit


HOOK

Just pretend it’s nothing,

An endless

“Wanting, getting, wanting”

I never stop

“One thing, always one thing”

I’ll always keep

Wanting, wanting more

What is a man to a king

And a king to a god?

What is a god to a devil putting up a facade?

I need a outlet now

I needa write this down…

(Write it down, write it all down)


VERSE 2

Dear Diary,

I’m still a fuckin’ basket case

I say I’ll keep on truckin’ but the fact is cars don’t run in space…

I’m feeling angsty and thankless and like I fell from grace

In zero gravity, havin’ me thinking like I got no place,

I’m fading.

The crowd is waiting.

But my internal rating is, well, kinda shady it’s

Lately I’m just an alien sailing on my “self-made-in” BS that I shell out

Tell my fans they’ll do well.

Shout from the mountain I dwell.

But does this ring any bells?

That I don’t mention the hell.

And changed the topic from the hot tip that they prolly won’t sell.

I paint a pretty little image, it looks swell from a distance

Blacking out the spell that gave this nobody an existence

Called “luck”



HOOK

Just pretend it’s nothing,

An endless

“Wanting, getting, wanting”

I never stop

“One thing, always one thing”

I’ll always keep

Wanting, wanting more


What does a demon believe in?

A king or a god?

I tell ‘em dice won’t be leaving, so what are the odds

I get my outlet now?

I gotta write this down…

(Write it down, write it all down)
