Lyrics[edit]

    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.

    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.



    Creator

    Ask which one I am.
    There’s no drugged-out devils or
    Square-halo angels
    Walking among us.



    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    No one
