about

needs saying: this is satire, but it's not particularly clear how without context.

this song was written in response to the feeling you get when you open up about your mental health to the wrong person, and they treat you like some kind of monster/freak/pariah instead of like someone who is vulnerable and needs help. hopefully none of you know what i'm talking about from personal experience, but if you do, hey, me too.

lyrics

i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.
i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.

cause i love watching mothers weep and wishing they were mine,
and i love causing all the pain that makes you burn inside.
i’ll make you wish you’d never seen through all of my disguise.
i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.

i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.
i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.

i’ll stab you in the back and watch you bleed out from your spine,
and the world will beg for mercy as i walk on down the line.
i’d burn down my old school with all the children left inside.
i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.

i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.
i’ll make you see the devil in my eyes.
they can try to take me but they’ll never leave alive
i’ll make them see the devil in my eyes
