Title: The Devil

Additional Challenge: Chapter 2

Lyrics:

I never said I was, I only let you think it

I blurred the lines because I live my life between them

I wasn't always like this... wasn't handsome with a heartbeat and a smile

I was perfect up until the day I died

I had branches, I had leaves, I had fruits filled up with seeds

I had roots they left abandoned when they hacked me into pieces

built a house out of my corpse, I'm in the walls, I'm in the porch

but when I learn to speak I'll scream in every creak inside your floors

[Chorus]

It took some practice but I finally learned to fight

I could shift and trip my captors when they walked the halls at night

I could slowly change the layout, jam the doors too tight to budge

change the angle of the stairs enough to learn the taste of blood

I wasn't always like this but they chose to chop me down

but when I began to fight them back they burned me to the ground

[Chorus]

So I was soil, then a million writhing bugs

I was maggots in the graveyard, then the crows that ate them up

I spent 100 years invading every creature I could reach

slowly poisoning the town 'till every inch had bits of me

I drove them mad, I made them sick, moving pieces into place

slowly moving all my molecules in towards a single shape

and thus became the demon that you incorrectly name

I met the one you think I am, many years before you came

When I told him what I'd done he cut the horns right off his head

he bolted them to mine and said I'm twisted as it gets

So I don't know where he is now, that devil that you know

but I've taken up the title, I'm the one you fuckin don't

[Chorus]

Title: Dead Boy

Additional Challenge: Click Track!

on a couch in a room in a house in a city on an island on a planet in a star system

i was torn out of the nothing and born into a body given eyes given ears and emotional disregulation

i coulda been anybody anything anywhere but here i am

on a couch in a room in a house in a city just jerking off and watching the same three shows again

and why try when you're not here to see how hard this is for me

i think i'll just let the dead boy take the wheel for a little while

and i'm fine okay i'm lying but it's cool

because the dead boys gonna take good care of me

in a drawer by the bed in a room that i haven't left once for three days now

in a place in my head where your face cannot get and your memory can be drowned out

i coulda been anybody anything anywhere but here i am

and the world doesn't end and the days never turn and the dead boy is cuddled up next to me, honestly well

who cares if i'm a car crash you're the truck that took me out

who says you can't feel sorry for yourself forever now

and i'm fine okay i'm lying but it's cool

because the dead boy's gonna take good care

the dead boy's gonna take good care of me

and sometimes when you hit rock bottom

all you really need's a bigger drill

and sometimes when your heart is broken

all you really need is engine oil

and sometimes when your friends stop calling

you'll sigh with relief because it's

finally just you and him on a couch in a room in a star system

and he holds your hand and he feeds you, keeps you needing him more than you'll ever need them

you could been anything, anyone, anywhere but here you are

in a city, in a house, in a room, on a couch, lying in a dead boy's arms
