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)
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)
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 an outlet now
I need to write this down
(Write it down, write it all down)
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"
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

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)
