Lyrics:

There's no need to justify the meaningless destruction
The voices always tell me that it's how I'm meant to function

Everything's in order, everything will come in time
Just as long as I complete the tasks that are mine

When the time comes that you see the way destiny lies
It would be okay if you'd pretend to be surprised

I see in full clarity what was so muddy before
You see a thousand of me and this is what I'm meant for

I'm going around, not in circles but in spirographs
It's pretty much this hard to keep just one timeline intact

I can see the endings that the realms will not permit
I see them over again while building up to this

In my current state, it's a bit difficult to sympathise
But I know what I'm doing! Don't try to tell me otherwise

I see in full clarity what was so muddy before
You see a thousand of me (thousand of me) and this is what we're made for

From now on I know I'll be more careful where I tread
I'm alive, I'm smiling, I'm so tired of being dead

I see in full clarity what was so muddy before (The time will come when you'll see)
You see I'm far from empty, I'm back to what I live for (What lies in your destiny)

I see in full clarity what was so muddy before (The time will come when you'll see)
You see I'm far from empty, I'm back to what I live for (All of your predestiny)

Hey hey hey, after the end of all this controversy the Thumbnail will go back to normal, right?

idk, the main reason i'm even keeping the videos up is someone else would probably upload them if i take them down, and this way i have a little control, but i'm still uncomfortable with the association tbh

oh ok, sorry if... the question was kinda mean, ok?

nah you're good, you didn't seem mean at all! have a good one

Rachel Rose Mitchell: (YouTube comments)

I know you feel it is important but please do not retrofit older videos into vehicles to spread a message. At best its annoying and more likely to make me blacklist the video you're trying to get me to watch so I never watch it

im gonna go ahead and keep doing the thing
