Lyrics:

I want to be a god

To claim the throne in old Ma’habre

And I’m not settling for less

I’m flipping coins and taking names

You know it’s always been a game

And if you’re coming with me, best be prepped

All I’ve ever wanted is to have your eyes on me

And so I take the spotlight, by any means necessary

All I’ve ever wanted is to have your eyes on me

And so I take the spotlight, by any means necessary NOW!

I want to be a god

I want to, I want to, I want to be a god

Don’t tell me that it’s wrong

Build temples in my name

I think I’ve finally gone insane

So now there’s nothing left to lose

I’ll haunt you in your sleep

So what if I explored too deep?

This violence is my perfect muse

These bastards want to make me bleed

They can’t stand to see me succeed

Stay mad, I don’t submit

Pulse all you want, can’t make me quit!

Just you wait, when all is done

You’ll call me the Enlightened One

I’m indomitable, my friends

Look out cruel world, ‘cause here I come NOW!

I want to be a god

I want to, I want to, I want to be a god

Don’t tell me that it’s wrong

(Spoken without rhythm)

So, you think you want me back?

But there’s no going back. What’s done is done.

And you wouldn’t like who I am now.

WATCH.

Transform me, get rid of my body

‘Cause it’s only ever held me down

Revise me, don’t categorize me

We’re just different people, you and I, I’ll never be what you want to be!

You’ll never stop me!

I’m not what you want to be!

But you’ll never stop me!

Welcome to my... Fear & Hunger fansong? Sort of?

I started the backing track for this over the summer (around the same time as when I wrote Monotony). It was originally going to be instrumental, but when the new Shrieks and Screams collab was announced, I figured that writing lyrics would help me give it some structure! So I spilled some insanity out onto paper, I yelled at the microphone over a few sessions to get the delivery just right, and I got something that I'm actually satisfied with despite normally hating my voice!

Some of these verses are about/addressed to certain people in particular, and there’s also a musical callback to a project I worked on prior. But mostly it's just a song's worth of me trying to hype myself up with references to my current favorite horror game. So yeah!

Also big thank you to @BroSkullEmoji for the cover art! It looks awesome!
