wanting, getting, wanting Songtext
von DEMONDICE

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)

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 you been?"
Did you want fiction? Addiction? A public mental snappin′? (Wow)

How did this happen? You ready to rattle some bones?
Thinking I dip 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, 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 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 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

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)
