wanting, getting, wanting

Lyrics: Karen Calanni Music: DeMarkus Oliphant [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)
