First Person Lyrics by L’Orange

The Mad Writer

2012

[Intro]
I did it for you

And now, listen to this

[Verse 1]
I could've sworn someone was standing right behind me
There's no one here
I'm a- nervous guy, I put a cigarette in my mouth, (shut your eyes)
I could've sworn someone was standing right behind me
(He said the world was a– child)
I flicked the match away and watched it make an arc of flame (No!)

What have you got against Doc?
You know some of those guys are pretty talented
He brings them to their desired teams
A criminal demean

And I heard something come down over me

At most he was a trifle odd
Been out of work for so long, and he was desperate
Maybe he had a right to his strange ways
Began to have terrible nightmares. He'd wake up screaming
He- he wasn't the same! That's when it started

(He said the world was a– beast)

[Hook]
(He changed my beast x3)

[Intro to Verse 2]
(He changed my hmm-mm-mm-mmm)

[Verse 2]
Listen to me (child)
Woah. Is someone there?
I won't talk to you! I'm getting out of here!
(He said the world)
You cannot escape (beast)

[Refrain]

What? I can't see!
Don't worry, even if you can't see me, the sound of your voice–
Listen to me. Listen!
Leave me alone!
(Hmmmm-hm-hm-hm-hm!)
