It's funny when the world reduces itself to a lie I am all what matters in the end And it hurts like a suicide Told you you can believe me, it is all a lie No more forgiveness, arbitration Everyone everyone is out on the streets I exist outside of class separation And they kill themselves all the time I hate your games that I've played unfairly They don't have anything up my sleeve I can't trust anyone with who I am And I am bored because they don't understand This city is mine, and I'll have my place It is all unfair, and it kills it hurts people Nobody's life really matters before mine My life doesn't matter anyway I'll cry when I want, there is nothing up my sleeve You can trust me, I'll say what you want me to This is a zero-sum game! You're fucking idiots for, idiots! I'll cry when I want, there is nothing up my sleeve Their turns at the table mean nothing to me He was naive showing me his feelings! Gut him, and then mute by intrinsic power dynamics! You are the leader of an organization! Why don't you try to figure me out? (Wake up!) His hands are bound to the monitor The character is all alone He's made sure so you cannot run from him I'll take what isn't mine anymore The world should go up in flames I'll cry when I want to, there is nothing up my sleeve You can trust me, I say I'm not one of them This is a zero sum- I will make everything about myself! Yeah, and I will make everything all about myself!

You've caught me this time It's been a while since we were this tense Half-smile, to this side I'll give myself to you as your little wife You've caught me this time I've always wanted you to myself You can play with me You don't trust me See, I don't care what you think You can see right through me I'm just kidding I lied Did I get you after all You can take my clothes off See there's no ace in my hole Did I get you after all You can take my clothes off There's nothing up my sleeve I'm always thinking about you Always thinking of ways to escape Always tied up I stayed up way too late I'm not real, this never happened Since I'm always a liar You're not bored of me But I want you inside Take it back, I was just kidding Last time I'll love you Please tie me up like how I should be You can do whatever you want You can take my clothes off And see there's no ace in my hole Did I get you after all Please take my clothes off So at least I'm not boring

about

This is the first of a trilogy of singles I self-recorded and released in 2021. This double single was inspired prob by Sweet Trip or by Vampire Weekend, I'm not sure anymore. I've long forgotten.

The overarching theme of this is a linking narrative between the two. "Pathological liar" was an attempt at mixing Ouma Kokichi's story with my own, since I heavily resonated with his character back then. It's very rough and I didn't enjoy listening to it, but all the ideas are there and I would love to re-record it in the future.

"Kokichi" is a death song. It (spoilers) mixes in the death of Ouma with the idea of romance, and of failed unrequited love. This one is gay. I think this one is, lyrically, strong since PL is full of cringe lyrics and also since the idea was fleshed out. The downside is this one has the WORST vocal performance out of the two. I enjoyed it... about the same.

Ofc, Kokichi is canonically 16. While that isn't the WORST thing in the world (I was 18 when I made this), I've thought about it a lot since then. His age was an oversight, but I still stand by it. Never was written to glorify anything, and this was more about exploring sexuality in a Gothic manner than anything icky like Romeo and Juliet. There are worse things than this.

Regardless, I would love to re-record it since I think it's relevant to a specific future release that *isn't* CONTORTIONS.
