Lyrics for the Table: Devolution

Sharing songs written in-game by my OC rockerboy K2 for the campaign Cyberpunk Red: Never Fade Away.

Album: DemoGraphic

DemoGraphic is the first album/ep released by K2 after their debut performance at Hammer. The album is an eclectic mix of musical styles, from instrumental jazz to an industrial-metal ballad on the same album. The title comes from the fact that most of the songs were on K2’s demo, combined with the fact that the lyrics are mostly autobiographical.

On another level, the title refers to the fact that, like K2 themself, music doesn’t fit into a box but is wild, free, and authentic to itself.

Track Four

Devolution

This is a direct parody of Fall Out Boy’s American Beauty/American Psycho

We were a couple of beauties

Now we’re becoming psychos

We were a couple of beauties

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

 

I don’t think I’ll ever love again

Because much to my own chagrin

The worst best thing that ever happened to me here

The worst best thing

I was a fool loving fool and rent my heart out

I was a fool loving fool and rent my heart out

Tried to kiss me, tried to kill me, left me for something else

Kill me, kiss me fuck

 

We were a couple of beauties

Now we’re becoming psychos

We were a couple of beauties

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

 

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

I wish I never saw the shape of your lies

But everything you touch seems to die

watched light in your eyes go out

fucked up, fucked up

I was a fool loving fool and rent my heart out

I was a fool loving fool and rent my heart out

And then the darkness starts to creep

Whatever comes to be will be

And your final thought of me

 

Boys and girls, boys and girls

Cast them off like swine and pearls

(Now we’re becoming, now we’re becoming)

Me, you, them, us

No one left for us to trust

(Now we’re becoming, now we’re becoming)

Us, we were only here, to make you feel alive

(Now we’re becoming, now we’re becoming)

Us, we were nothing much, just a consolation prize

(Now we’re becoming)

 

We were a couple of beauties

Now we’re becoming psychos

We were a couple of beauties

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

Now we’re becoming, becoming

Becoming psychos

 

Now we’re becoming, now we’re becoming, now we’re becoming psychos

Now we’re becoming, now we’re becoming

We’re, We’re, we’re becoming psychos
