Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me? Bought a thousand dollars worth of tech and games like me? Just to break those motherfuckers in a rage like me? Would you use your psionics through the migraines like me? Are you high enough without the mind honey like me? Do you tear yourself apart to calm your brain like me? Do the people whisper 'bout your stupid fate like me? Saying “Oh it’s such a shame that’s such a waste” like me?

And all the people say You can't wake up, this is not a dream You're part of a machine, just a future battery With your face all made up, live behind a screen Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think there's a flaw in my code (Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh) These voices won't leave me alone Well, my blood is gold but my heart is cold

Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me? Picking dumb fights just to drown out all the shame like me? Do you turn into a fucking hurricane like me? A dying creature 'cause the visions call your name like me?

And all the people say You can't wake up, this is not a dream You're part of the machine, just a future battery With your face all made up, live behind a screen Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline

Nothing Worth Loving Isn't Askew - Lemon Demon

You are red and blue and green

Living like a living computer glitch

You could change to anything

All you gotta do is just hit the switch

You are muscle, flesh, and bone

Living in the land of automobiles

If you ever lose your shoes

All you gotta do is just click your heels

Symmetry is overrated, methinks

Look at the scars all over the Sphinx

Do you know that when you blink

Each eye winks slightly out of sync?

Symmetry is overrated, methinks

Look at the scars all over the Sphinx

Even the planet spins with a tilt

Everybody's built like a quilt

Have you heard the awful truth?

Cursed asymmetricals go to hell

If you trip and lose a tooth

You gotta knock the other side out as well

Gouge both eyes out and you'll see

Empty sockets everywhere: self abyss

Fill them up with mercury

So that I can see myself when we kiss

Symmetry is overrated, methinks

Look at the scars all over the Sphinx

Even the planet spins with a tilt

Everybody's built like a quilt

Trees in the forest fall to the side

Everybody's got something to hide

Except for me and my suitcase full of imperfections

If the court has no objections

Symmetry is overrated, methinks

Look at the scars all over the Sphinx

I am lopsided, and so are you

how two help u2 now - (Originally Heaven Help Us Now by My Chemical Romance)

Hear the sound The meteors screaming Drown the noise Ignore that you’re bleeding Make your choice The voices come pleading Someone save us

How to help us now Sky crashing down You’ll hear the sound As you're falling down

And stuck here in this lab And I can't tell if I've been breathing or sleeping Or dreaming or waiting for the end to come And maybe all of the above 'Cause mostly I've been having these visions of me where I’m spitting out the blood and thinking Someone save us

How to help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As you're falling down

And was it worth the pain Winning a losing game And was it worth the blame To make this stupid-

'Cause I'll give you all the time you need Burn out any part of me Wipe away those tears of blood again And the punchline to the joke is asking Someone save us

How to help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As you fall

And was it worth the pain (You don't know the things that i can do) (Limits i can power through) Winning a losing game (You don't know) (So I'm burning, I'm burning) And was it worth the blame (You don't know the things that i can do) (limits i can power through) Making this stupid- (You don't know) 'Cause I'll give you anything you need ('Cause I'm burning, I'm burning) Burn out every part of me again (I'm burning, I'm burning again)

LYRICS

Running the code, ~ATH till I explode To pull down apocalypse by the morning No time to dream, honey and pure caffeine Brain bursting at the seams without a warning And I can hear voices yelling, to tell me the end is getting closer Never been one to keep on running, so guess I gotta act a little bolder

If I have to Choose between being a dead man or a helmsman not gonna wait till I get older, think a little doom is in order Choose between, being a matesprit or a warship Honey, I’m taking no orders, I’m gonna be nobody’s soldier

Mind burns again, blood boils beneath the skin Whatever I choose, we all lose in the long run Gold on the walls, pours out like waterfalls The game I was trying to play was the wrong one And I still hear voices screaming, as my death creeps a little closer And I know I can't keep on running, so guess I gotta act a little bolder

If I have to Choose between being a dead man or a helmsman not gonna wait to get older, think a little doom is in order Choose between, being a matesprit or a warship Honey, I’m taking no orders, I’m gonna be nobody’s soldier

Mm, Be a dead man walkin’ (Nobody’s soldier) or life in a metal coffin (Nobody’s soldier) I’m gonna be Nobody’s soldier

I was such a fool to wait to say that I think you’re my spade You were just a fool to keep insisting you aren’t worth the pain I don't know how I’m suppose to follow Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh

Troll me wide awake at three, I chat with you while half asleep Complaining 'bout your coding so I send l another hacking cheat Rant to me I like the sound, I hate your voice, I like your mouth Oh, oh Mm-mm-m

Showed up at my hive right before sunrise in the morning Want to tell you we’re still friends, won’t change no matter what you bleed Would have risked any danger, but you were too afraid to see Oh, oh Mm-mm-m

I was such a fool to wait to say that I think you’re my spade You were such a fool to keep insisting you aren’t worth the pain I don't know how I’m suppose to follow Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh

As an Alternian (fuck)

So like, I guess they call it the post-molt slump Always crying, always (fucked) A few dead, more gone, and the rest well on their way Thanks! (I hate it)

So everyone that I know is stuck Because me and all the others know our world’s fucked up We’ll cover it in the trials that I am bound to fail

Well, I feel better now (UwU) Psionic ahegao (uh-huh)

I hadn't had another episode, except last night, it was touch and go No need to cry about it

UwU Hey incels, just have sex (duh)

Trash on the walls and tech on the floor Liquid mind honey stuck to the door Screwing everything up, doing everything wrong In my defense I wasn't supposed to be around this long, so

Well, I feel better now (UwU) Psionic ahegao (UwU) No need to cry about it (UwU)

(Oh, I don't smoke, I just like how it smells)

ARADIA: I like where we are When we meet, in the dark I like where we are, here

'Cause our lips can touch And our cheeks can brush Our lips can touch, here

Well, you are the only one who really knows me Whisper "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly" I fell in love, in love with you subtly Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

SOLLUX: I like how carefree You’re digging through debris I like to just be, here Our lips can touch And our cheeks can brush 'Cause our lips can touch, here

Well, you are the only one who really knows me Whisper "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly" I fell in love, in love with you subtly Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

ARADIA: Our lips can touch SOLLUX: Our lips can touch, here

ARADIA: Well, you are the only one who really knows me Whisper "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly" SOLLUX: I fell in love, in love with you subtly Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

ARADIA: Well, nothing hurts more than existing separately BOTH: “My flush, hello, I've missed you quite, I've missed you quite" It’s been so long since you were last close to me Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

[Various voices, including a confused Caliborn for some reason]

Alright, everybody sit down, shut up, and listen Since none of you will listen when I say it to you I’m going to sing it this time since that's all you people care about I’m going to start with A and I'm gonna end with Z Hey, is the tune ready??
