Liner Notes

EP: Obsidian (My serious angry queer EP... but this one's... different.)
I don't really like giving explanations for my songs. You can figure it out.

I kinda wanna try and fuse a sort of metal with electro-swing for this one. I think it'd be a fun experiment.

DEMO COMING: Once I get to it. But I plan to.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Walking right down the street
He's come to town seeking prey
Skipping along, tapping his feet
Flashing smiles in the most menacing way

(Verse 2)
A girl sits crying on the corner
A prime target for this charmer
So he puts on his best face
Slides in beside her and opens up his briefcase

(Chorus)
Shall we make a deal?
He whispers in her ear
C'mon, it's a steal
You've got nothing to fear
Name your dream and it's yours
You know what you want, no need to have a poll
Just say the word, and I can open all the doors
All it will cost is your soul

(Verse 3)
I want to be liked, no! loved! I'm tired of the hate
What use is a soul? Surely, I couldn't be worse off with none
The Dealmaker was pleased, she had taken the bait
And with a click and flick of a pen, the deal was done

(Verse 4)
And the years passed, and she was adored
But it was empty and hollow, every smile a lie
The deal was a two edged sword
The love delivered down a one way street

(Pre-Chorus)
And she remembered that day...

(Chorus)
Shall we make a deal?
He whispers in her ear
C'mon, it's a steal
You've got nothing to fear
Name your dream and it's yours
You know what you want, no need to have a poll
Just say the word, and I can open all the doors
All it will cost is your soul

(Bridge)
The Dealmaker wasn't hard to find, he wanted it that way
I want it back, return it to me, she declared
A deal's a deal, but I'm feeling cheerful, so let's play
I'd love to see you squirm, I'd love to see you scared...

(Chorus)
So, let's make a deal
Sign right here
Yes, my offer is real
I hope you enjoy living in fear
You will be beneath the whores
Outcast shall be your new role
For all the love you had, equally the hate will pour
And then you can have your soul
...
And with a click and flick of a pen, the deal was done
