drinking song for the socially anxious - the amazing devil lyrics

[intro: madeleine hyland]
in the back of a cab
like a puppet with no strings
untangling my headphones cos sometimes they’re the only thing
that keeps my head in place
that keeps my head in place

[verse 1: joey batey]
arriving at the door
i hope to god i’m not the first
my heart is tearing pages from that funny story i rehe*rs*d
and i know i won’t be long
cos i know i don’t belong

[verse 2: madeleine hyland]
cos though my jokes are my armour
and my kindness is my sword
the party swirls around me in a dress i can’t afford
and i do my best to breathe
but they’re stealing all the air

[verse 4: joey batey]
and the hum from the fridge’ll
sing me soft littlе vigils
as all my steps too far keep saying ‘this is who you are’
i should go home
i’m not lonеly i just like being on my own
[chorus: both]
and i’ll sing silence
and ask my glass of wine for guidance
i might not make it tonight

and i’ll speak with my eyes
you’ll think i’m weird, one sympathises
i might not make it tonight

[post*chorus: both]
because i don’t find this easy like you
gonna go home and show my cat some memes
cos he’s awesome
like me

[verse 5]
[joey batey]
now i’m lying on a bed full of coats
trying desperately to cope
when you open up the door, say something stupid like
[both]
‘you’re lying on some coats’
[joey batey]
i say i know
it’s just sometimes nice to feel what it’s like to be in someone else’s coat
[bridge]
[both]
and we’re bursting at the seams
[joey batey]
cos the noise is crushing us
we think it’s so much worse than it seems
[both]
but that voice unsaid is rushing us
[joey batey]
and in a moment of total rapture
and with every strength i have
i ask if you play d&d
and your face lights up like you’ve woken up
from this endless f*cking nightmare of pretending this is you
this is us, this is me and this how we’re meant to be
but your smile tells me i’m safe
[both]
and that voice unspoken’s heard
cos if god make us all in his image
then god’s a f*cking nerd

[chorus: both]
and i’ll sing silence
and ask my glass of wine for guidance
i might not make it tonight
and i’ll speak with my eyes
you think i’m neat, i’m not surprised
that i might not make it tonight

[post*chorus: both]
because i don’t find this easy like you
gonna go home and dress my cat up like batman
cos he’s awesome like me

[madeleine hyland]
and i don’t find this easy like you
i’m not lonely
i just like being on my own
with you

[joey batey]
and i’ll sing silence and ask my glass of wine for guidance
i might not make it tonight
gonna go home and tell my cat i’m not lonely if i’m
with you

[outro]
[both]
in the back of a cab, like two puppets with no strings
we share a pair of headphones, cos sometimes they’re the only things
[madeleine hyland]
that keep our heads in place
that keep our heads in place
