Lyrics
V1: “Delete Your Butt” Take me now, the world’s insane, Glory’s gory, soaked in pain, Ruthless dreams, they rule the show, “Natural” disasters—what a joke, you know. (Chorus) Because the night belongs to shameless, Because the fight rewards the nameless, Because the light pretends it’s painless, Delete your butt, no hope, no greatness. Madness lives where reason hides, Cypress Hillbillies on the ride, Butterflies are six feet deep, Laugh it off, ‘cause hope’s too steep. (Oh, it’s bloody, it’s a joke, ha…) (Chorus) Because the night belongs to chaos, Because the bite leaves no payout, Because the right ain’t always way out, Delete your butt, no chance, no layout. Meta monsters lurk and spy, Your reel’s gone, no reason why, Appeal denied, your hope’s expired, They’ll ghost you first, then call you a liar. (Chorus) Because the night’s got no redemption, Because the fight breeds apprehension, Because the might deletes contention, Delete your butt, no court, no mention. PS: Butterflies? All dead and gone, PPS: Delete your reel, but not my song. — V2 “Because the Joke” Take me now, in this cruel disguise, Where “success” and lies, they compromise, Ruthless hearts, they rise, no shame to feel, While disasters fake their spinning wheel. Chorus: Because the joke belongs to fools, And glory gory breaks the rules. Madness, it ain’t badness here, Butterflies dead, the joke’s so clear. In this world, no warning call, Delete your soul, delete it all. No appeal, no hope remains, Meta monsters play their games. Chorus: Because the joke belongs to fools, And glory gory breaks the rules. Madness, it ain’t badness here, Butterflies dead, the joke’s so clear. Fingers crossed, but what’s the cost? In the end, what have we lost? No apologies, no time to cry, #SorryNotSorry, let it die. Chorus: Because the joke belongs to fools, And glory gory breaks the rules. Madness, it ain’t badness here, Butterflies dead, the joke’s so clear. — V3: “Because the Fight” [Verse 1] Take your pride, but leave your shame, This ruthless world don’t play fair games. Disasters strike, they call it “natural,” While glory’s gory and collateral. [Pre-Chorus] Madness ain’t badness, it’s clarity’s form, Truth is twisted in this raging storm. Ask the Cypress Hillbillies what they feel, They’ll tell you what’s fake and what is real. [Chorus] Because the fight belongs to warriors, The hopeless dreamers and the storytellers. Because the fight, oh, it tears us apart, But saves our souls, restores our hearts. [Verse 2] The butterflies—they’re gone, they’re ghosts, All that’s left? Their bloody joke. Meta monsters slay without a thought, Delete your truth; your struggle’s naught. [Pre-Chorus] No warning’s given, no appeals to plea, Straight up erasure, your voice set free. Still, we fight, ‘cause we know this much: Freedom’s flame can’t die from a touch. [Chorus] Because the fight belongs to warriors, The restless poets and rebellious authors. Because the fight, oh, it tears us apart, But gives us hope and ignites our spark. [Bridge] When ruthless rules and greed collide, And silence falls where dreams once cried, Keep your madness close, let it be your guide, In this strange reality, we can’t abide. [Final Chorus] Because the fight belongs to the nameless, The faceless heroes, the artful shameless. Because the fight, oh, it burns in our veins, Through blood and chaos, we’ll break these chains. [Outro] Because the fight… Because the fight… Won’t die tonight.
