Lyrics: https://rentry.co/o2ufusey

Why's my head just gotta be this way
Reality escapes sight now
Why's my head now ringing nothing feels ok
Without you Saya I would blow my brains out

Well, Saya's in the next room
Surrounded by gore and gloom
At least that's how my world is redrawn

Now normal people sound like noise, see I'm insane
You sound so sweet
Everything it flips, you're an angel
Cute as all hell, and so petite (1)
And I need to keep living this lie
I guess I can ignore what you came for
Cause this chick's like an angel

I wonder where my friends could be tonight
I wish I could go there too
Why do they look monstrous to me (2)
I hope they're alright
Saya well at least I have you

Well, Saya's in the next room
Surrounded by gore and gloom
At least that's how my world is redrawn

Now normal people sound like noise, see I'm insane
You sound so sweet
Everything it flips, you're an angel
All in reverse, this fruit is meat
And I need to keep living this lie
I guess I can ignore I'm in danger
When transfixed by an angel

Now normal people sound like noise, see I'm insane
You sound so sweet
Everything it flips, you're an angel
Killin' perverts, it's time to eat
And I need to keep living this lie
I guess I can ignore your tentacles
Getting picked by an angel
And I need to keep living this lie
I guess I can ignore that it's painful
In the grips of an angel

Why's my head just gotta be this way

  • (1) Can swap "Cute as all hell" for something like "Cute but it hurts" if it works better. In general if something doesn't seem to work don't be worried about adjusting it or calling it out in the thread so it can be improved.
  • (2) The original line here is "And does he know you're talking to me", with the "And" being easy to blur into the "Does". I have no issue with any way a singer wants to handle this line, singing it as something like "Why do they look like monsters to me" with the "Why" where the "And" goes, or just cutting the "And" and singing something like "Why do they look monstrous to me"
