Written at 19, weeks before my 20th birthday about a woman I had been involved with who did not share the same desires as me
Lyrics
Spoken: It's not gorgeous, or well put together, or whatever — ok?
There's no love when you look at my body
There's no trust when you call out my name
I thought you'd be different than everybody
But it turns out, you're the same
I refuse to run around in circles
Chasing something that won't ever come
You got close, just to use me
Then you'll throw me away once you're done
It's no game, but, I feel like I'm losing
Your hands burn like I'm touching the sun
What will say when I see you
'Cause I don't wanna see your face
I will lay down my body
And cry because I'm such a disgrace
You should stay away, stay away, stay away
I refuse to run around in circles
Chasing something that won't ever come
I refuse to run around in circles
I've been chasing something that won't ever come
There's no love when you look at my body
There's no trust when you call out my name
I thought you'd be different than everybody
But it turns, out you're the same, you're the same, you're the same
*laughs* shit

I’m thinking about how Wasteland, Baby was a call to action and a tongue-and-cheek acceptance of the end of the world. And how Eat Your Young and Unreal Unearth are about the nine circles of Hell, about the afterlife, about the consequences after death. I’m thinking about one album cover being under water and another being buried under earth, about NFWMB “ain’t it like thunder under earth the sound it makes”, about Unreal Unearth and unearthing something, un-burial, about Like Real People Do “what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth.”
I’m thinking Eat Your Young, about Kronos’ mythology, about hunger for and to keep power, about gluttony. I’m thinking about Swan Upon Leda, about the lust Zeus had for Leda, about the greed of man over bodies, about who is the sinner. I’m thinking about angels, about their lack of power in Swan Upon Leda “could never belong to angels”, about their fall from grace in the “Unknown” song “I thought you were like an angel/going unknown as any angel/you called me angel.”
I’m thinking about Hozier.

Raphael is the funniest antagonist in the game to me, he's a powerful devil trying to steal your soul and speaks to you in rhymes that he probably practices in the mirror, he has his own incubus that says he's a bottom only and bad in bed, and then you can call him out. You can go and rob him blind and then kick his ass in his own house.
You can ask some guy he had you kill if he wants to help you kick his ass, and if you convince him he'll go 'yeah sure I bet you'll win' while Raphael is standing right there.
