Devi:
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, uh
I said I wouldn't do it but I didn't
I said I wouldn't do it but I couldn't
I said I wouldn't do it but I did it and I never thought I would
People say nothing is impossible but I do nothing every day
Rook:
Why am I still like this?
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?
Would you still be fucked up by the past?
Would you still regret everything? Yes.
I don't know what the fuck I just said
I don't know what the fuck I just said...
And I know now
How the way you do it now
What the fuck just sit down
If you got everything you ever wanted
If you got what you wanted the most
I forgot what I wanted the most

Rook:
Check
Ok
Devi:
Ok
So much pain, but there's still time
Believe there's still good in the world or you'll lose your mind
Let it rip
All this shit
Never asking who the fuck we're ripping on
Who the fuck
Knew what's up
Sucking blood until the fucking break of dawn
Rook:
Try to live
Try to cope
Try to guess
Try to know
Try to hope
Try to bear your soul
No choice but degenerate faggot mode
No choice like a choice with no control
Devi:
Let's pray until the gods get tired
Set fire to the drums on fire
Core out heaven like the cure
Only if you're sure
I could put you in a square
Yeah
Everybody wants to know the truth
Everybody wants to do what you could do
If they could see what you could do they wouldn't want to be you.
Rook:
No truth
No truth
Like a swollen bruise
Like a broken tooth
No truth
No truth
Like a bleeding wound
Like a tongue removed
Devi:
Let's get it on
Rook:
But I'm a body
Devi:
Let's get it on
Rook:
But I'm a body
Devi:
Let's get it on
Rook:
But I'm a body
Devi:
Let's get it on
Rook:
But I'm a body too
Devi:
Give up on what you wanted
Never give upuPUPUp on what you thought was true to you
Unless you find some kind of other truth that means something to you
Never give up on what you wanted
Never give up on what you wanted
Even if it's stupid
God is stupid
Let's be
Stupid:
God is here.

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.
I promise that I'll be okay
Ah, I'll be fine.
I promise that you'll be okay
Ah, you'll be fine.
I promise that you'll be okay
Uh, you'll be fine.
I promise that you'll be okay
Uh, you'll be fine.
I promise that you'll be ok
Ah, I'll be fine.
I promise that you'll be ok
Ah, I'll be fine, guh...
Rook:
Eeeaghghjhjhhhhh,
I wish I was a worm
Crawl into the dirt
Now no one can hurt me
I wish I was worse
So there'd be no confusion
In the first place
CRAWL INTO THE DIRT
CRAWL INTO THE DIRT
INTO THE DIRT
Crawl into the dirt
Crawl into the dirt
Crawl into the dirt

NO 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
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'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

Burning up like an insect in the sun
I just wanna be useful to someone

Meet you at the end of time,

Devi:
AArghh rahh rahh rahh*, somehow?
Oh, funny thing, somehow...
Wait a couple weeks
How we're doing now?
Oh, we're fucking thinking now?
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Hey, Jesus, what the fuck
All this bullshit makes me cum
Heard this saying, "Suck my nuts"
All this money makes me dumb
Rook:
(shoutout Paledusk)
Devi:
We're just like you!
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Uh
Uh
I don't wanna feel it
I don't wanna feel it, fuck it up
Rook:
Keeping track of everything
Keeping track of
What I used to tell myself I wanna be
Scattered like a memory
Scattered like a stupid Little dream
Like a stupid little dream come TRUE
What does it mean? Not anything
Put your guilty conscience at ease
Yea what do you want to believe?
Yea what do you want to believe
What does it mean? Not anything
Put your guilty conscience at ease
Yea what do you want to believe?
What do you-
What the fuck you wanna see?
What the fuck you wanna
Try to tell yourself will never be
Oh please, what
What the fuck you wanna see?
What the fuck you wanna
Try to tell yourself we'll never be
Oh please
Devi:
I might just stress in my spot
I might just give up on god
I might just die while you watch
I might just do what I want
I might just do what I want
I might just do what I want
Grey cement looking like a window
Looking at the past, Jesus keep my eyes low
Rook:
Let's peace out and screw them
Fuck it let's fucking cash out
Get stupid
Everything I want to be is a weapon
Everything I want to be is a WEAPON
?????

Devi:
Um, shoutout to Big Freedia,
New Orleans Bounce music,
Every Bitch Track ever made for
NYC drag balls before Ru Paul made being gay uncool
Gay ugly and hard to understand
I thought that people could handle it but they- but they can't
I don't want to let you have it
I don't want to let you have it
I don't want to let you have it
You can't earn it
This shit is not on trend
This shit is not on trend
This shit is not pretend
It's a.a..a...
I'm just doing my shit
I'm just doing my shit
You could never do it like this
Even tho
I'll keep it moving but you stay slow
I'll keep it moving but you don't know
I'll keep it moving and you can follow behind me- behind me
Off my old CD
You could copy a track
Sell it to Roadrunner
Make your money back
It's the corniest shit, put Travis Barker on it.
Oh my god what the fuck is your problem?
Rook:
It is happening again (again)
You wanna mess with it
I am possessed with it
I'm fucking dead from it
I am a revenant
But I want everything that I can never have
You want my suffering? Why do u want it so bad?
You think it's hard shit?
I want softness
I want the gentleness that only you were offered
I want a peaceful life
Everything I want is fiction
What I need does not exist
Everything you want is right here waiting
For you to take it
What I need does not exist

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.
