wanting, getting, wanting

Romaji

【INTRO】
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)
