Lyrics
Firstly, the song is a story, make it a verse, maybe two
Sing about a journey being taken, that'll do
Next you must add dios idae, look it up if you don't know
Add the word revive and then you should be all good to go
Wish me good luck with my writing, it shouldn't be all that hard
I should be finished this week if I play the right cards
I should just sit down and focus, only two verses, that's easy
Trust my other members to fully support and aid me
Work is my life, perfection is my aim. Slowly but surely I will make those around me feel the same
Cause the sky is only so high, I'd say it's halfway to the top
I'm gonna keep going cause I never learned how to stop
Hey Calypso, how's the writing going
Good, good, great even. I still can't believe that Azathoth is real, you know
Me either. I got into Lovecraftian lore when I was 11, so I'm kind of fangirling a little
I'm also terrified though
Really? Me too. I was obsessed with Cthulhu when I was in middle school
I used to want to go to Miskatonic. Do you think that all the crazy shit that he wrote
about actually happened there
It's likely. If Azathoth is real, then who knows what kind of messed up stories are also true, you know
Yeah, true, you know. Oh god
Work is my life, perfection is my aim. Slowly but surely I will make those around me feel the same
Cause the sky is only so high, I'd say it's halfway to the top
I'm gonna keep going cause I never learned how to stop
All right Calypso, what you got for us
I'm actually pretty excited about this one. It's called Azathoth's Requiem
Go to sleep now
Sorry kid, that's not gonna cut it. You can't start out just saying go to sleep
The song is supposed to be a story
It is a story, that's just the first part. I figured that since it was a lullaby
No, you gotta jump straight into the story. Do some rewriting and come back
For now, we'll just practice some songs we already know
Hey Calypso, I was thinking that for the song, uh, never mind, sorry
No, please, what were you gonna say
Nothing, sorry
This is a little bit harder than I had anticipated
It'll be a challenge to steer clear of being dead
All of my bandmates are stubborn. All except Marley, God bless her
How do I round up my friends? They are so hard to hurt
But work is my life. Perfection is my aim
Slowly but surely I will make those around me feel the same
Cause the sky is only so high. I'd say it's halfway to the top
I'm gonna keep going cause I never learned how to stop
Stop, stop, stop, guys, what are you doing
Xander did something really nice for me because he's an asshole
What
He knows I fucking hate it when people do nice things for me
Why
Because then I have to repay their kindness. I hate owing things to people
This dickhead knows that and he keeps trying to do nice things for me to piss me off
That's ridiculous, Simon. I'm only trying to be a good teammate
Bullshit, I'm not an idiot, dude. I saw that little smile
You can barely even contain yourself
Okay, guys, calm down. This problem can be solved pretty easily
What can you do to repay Xander, Simon
No, no, absolutely not. I have to end the cycle
How come
Because I don't want to have to keep doing nice things for him
every time he buys me ice cream or whatever
And what's so bad about that? Suck it up, man
The two of you being nice to each other isn't the catastrophe you think it is
Yeah, Simon. Why don't you just suck it up, man, and try being nice for once
Shut the fuck up
Fine, come on. I'm gonna give you some tips on the guitar
I don't need any tips, especially not from you
Okay, show me what you got
We're working on our coordination. I pray that I'm getting through to them
I am discovering their issues and where they stem
I think they're learning to trust me
That is such goddamn good news
But it's been almost a month and I've got no time left to lose
I can see your fingers calloused and worn, nails bitten torn
It is like you have been playing for years, that's how it appears
So you're already halfway there
Just work on your strumming, lean into the thrumming of the rhythm pervading the air
See, look, you're improving, you're great, you're improving
Work is my life, perfection is my aim
Slowly but surely I will make those around me feel the same
Cause the sky is only so high, I'd say it's halfway to the top
I'm gonna keep going cause I never learned how to stop
