Tom Colquhoun continuing from FIYH, this is blackpilled as all fuck; written and delivered with the raw candidness and self-mocking bitterness of a high-schoolers journal, and set to beats that are laser-focused to keep my distractable mind topped up on angry dopamine. A tight 21 minutes of weaponised disgust. Favorite track: MONEY MAKES YOU STUPID.

Everybody changes Way too weak to fight it Break it down, restrain it One more crisis sighted Why am I still like this?? Way too weak to fight it It is always like this Devi: Who the fuck are you trying to do this shit I do? Who the fuck are you coming in the booth sounding like me? I wish you were me. Man, I wish you weren't me. You got this record deal but you're so ugly Who the fuck are you? Forgot you shouldn't do this shit I do. Who the fuck are you coming in the booth sounding like me? Wish you were Wish you weren't I thought you couldn't? Rook: No life Inside Black light Soul slime Why am I still this? Why am I still me? So much distance Please god send me entropy ow Devi: If you got- if you got what you wanted If you got what you wanted the most If you got- if you got what you wanted Would you still be fucking depressed?

earth worm 02:05
Rook: Being cute was a mistake Being likeable instead of insane: A straight line to ruin. Having value to the faceless ones And shining bright in the sun? Fuck it, I never knew 'em Can you still see The place you dreamed you would be? Was it ever really there at all? Reaching in deep Through the blood and the grease Well at least I don't have far to fall lol I tried to kill this but it still exists I tried to chill but I'm still in it Everybody's thinking that They're so sick of my shit SPEAK THE FUCK UP MY EARS ARE RINGING IN THIS BITCH Devi: I'm the worst one out I'm the worst one out I'm the worst one out I'm the worst one out I'm the worst one out I'm the worst one out Ah, I'll be fine.

NO NORMAL 02:25
Rook: I want to know what I can be So close to being a normal person Try again but I'm worse than last time I try to dream but I can't sleep Unaware and I can't undo it Didn't mean it, swear I'm just stupid This creepy kid, this part of me Wants to make the friends that I couldn't Fuck it up like other me wouldn't So clueless and so annoying I try to know what I'm saying I'm sorry, please just don't hate me Devi: T-shirt slogan I'm a t-shirt slogan I'm a meme, I know it I got mean, I know it We learned a lot about Entertainment Tried a lot of shit, still not Entertained Yet. Isn't it crazy to be human? To bear witness to the illusion of patterns? To the illusion of order? To think that all this shit is normal? Rook: I want to know what I can be So close to being a normal person Try again but I'm worse than last time I try to dream but I can't sleep Unaware and I can't undo it Didn't mean it, swear I'm just stupid This creepy kid, this part of me Wants to make the friends that I couldn't Fuck it up like other me wouldn't So clueless and so annoying I try to know what I'm saying I'm sorry, please just don't hate me Devi: T-shirt slogan I'm a t-shirt slogan I'm a meme, I know it I got mean, I know it, uh... The fuck you want? There's no excuse. There's a fire going, I'm getting high off the fumes. Uh~! Isn't it crazy to be human? To bear witness to the illusion of patterns? To the illusion of order? To think that all this shit is normal?

Rook: Another wasted chance Another falling star Lands in my hands And I snuff it out Another lifeless day Another ray of light Bathes me in hope And I step aside Devi: Please, believe me Falling down from the stars Doomspiral around me... I am so easy Whoever you are, You can take whatever you need from me In my heart, it's over Feels like it never was. In my heart, it's over The feeling I used to have is gone. Eyes spin around I feel a bit shakey Can't reach the ground Feet swim so helpless thru air Helpless thru air And Eyes spin around I feel a bit shakey Can't reach the ground Feet swimming so helpless thru air Helpless thru air Rook: Colorful and delicate like a paper star Shriveling in the heat of what we are At the end of time, did I do anything? Burning up like an insect in the sun I just wanna be useful to someone On the final day, did I make you smile? I'll meet you at the end of time The end of time And we can leave together Meet you at the end of time The end of time And we will shine forever Devi: All the empty words that I ever said Just like everything I ever really wanted It all comes apart in my useless hands Rook and Devi: All the empty words that I ever said Just like everything I ever really wanted It all comes apart in my useless hands Rook: Colorful and delicate like a paper star Shriveling in the heat of what we are At the end of time, did I do anything? Burning up like an insect in the sun I just wanna be useful to someone On the final day, did I make you smile? Meet you at the end of time,

nightwish 01:43
Rook: I used to want to mean Something to somebody But people never see The side of you you want to be And when the air is smoke And when the sky burns out I hope no one is looking at me When the sun explodes Devi: Perfect blue, put my PayPal in a coffin Small dick, small balls, what do you want from me? Fuck up every so often Yeah we got problems every so often I'm grateful for the time we had to do childish things Like making songs: Like this one. Stars shooting overhead as everything in the universe falls apart How romantic, like kissing under fireworks, but... As our bodies burn to light As our bodies turn to raw energy with no identity, uh... Let's meet back here again We can do a little show We can sing a couple songs We can fight over how the songs go I know it's not much For all the things in the world Not much, but let's just have- Let's just still try to have fun.
