Lyrics

Devoid

[Verse 1]

Devise a plan to make your life easier

Taking time to lose your mind

Your friends become uglier than before

Talking down at their pleasure

[Chorus]

What do you expect from the same thing

When it's still devoid of

Anything worth trying

So still avoid it

[Verse 2]

Don't try so hard, to be so kind

You might just find

Being mean is worth the time

It seems wrong, takes a while

It makes sense when everything is getting stale

[Chorus]

What do you expect from the same thing

When it's still devoid of

Anything worth trying

So still avoid it

[Instrumental Outro]
