[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 (Outlet 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)
