wanting, getting, wanting

[Intro]

(DEMONDICE...)

[Chorus]

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 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 *****", why complain that your luck ain’t the best?

When you’re "Rich and you’re famous" and ****in’ depressed?

Stuck in a mess of pretend pretense, 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’?

(Wow)

How did this happen?

You ready to rattle some bones?

Thinking I'd dip to follow a script

And never look back at the demons at home?

Painting shame inside the brain like, "*****, too bad you ain’t a keeper"

Changing 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

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 ****in’ 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 well 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

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)

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?

I gotta write this down

(Write it down, write it all down)
