Demondice has been off doing other projects and in this song comes back to catch the listeners up on how she’s been doing. In her recent success (including other projects), she’s found herself chasing more but not feeling any better from it. The overall tone of this song is set by her low mental sta...
[Intro]
D-D-D-DEMONDICE
[Refrain]
What is a man to a king and a king to a god?
What is a god to a devil puttin' up a facade?
I need an outlet now (Outlet now)
I need to 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
Yeah, success is a bitch, why complain that your luck ain't the best?
When you're rich and you're famous and fuckin' depressed?
Stuck in a mess of pretend pretence, uppers in the trash
Got a couple ins-'n'-outs that don't involve crashes
So past me, you asked me, "So how have you been?"
Did you want fiction? Addiction? A public mental snappin'? (Woah)
How did this happen? You ready to rattle some bones?
Thinkin I'd dip to follow a script
And never look back at the demons at home?
Paintin' shame inside the brain like, "Bitch, too bad you ain't a keeper"
Changin' difficulty mid-way through the game to be a sleeper-hit
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
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 an outlet now, I need to 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, having 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-ien" 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 probably 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
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
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 an outlet now (Outlew now)
I need to write this down (Write it down, write it all down)
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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? (Outlet now)
I gotta write this down (Write it down, write it all down)
