Lyrics:

First things first she says your name
You gotta hear it to believe it and it gets in your grain
You think "uh oh, she's the one"
There's hate in her eye and it's turning you on

You haven't really met her, you don't know her
She's a black box
One controlling mind, when she talks it's
Hopeless, helpless, hate cascades
Before you even know it you've been taken up in spades

I am royalty, not prone to jealousy
But
In this case I think my head's gone up in
Flames of something I can't place
I saw the look on the slave girl's face

Who does she think she is--she's a riot
If I tell her we're done she'd deny it
The only thing left for her to do is run
It's a black-rom rom-com if you've ever seen one

I'll find her
Don't know where
But she'll know what a broken heart feels like
When she's staring down Ahab's Crosshairs

Sorry, did I miss the boat?
I am realizing slowly, quickly I have
Fallen for her crossways, what a joke

You always hear those stories about
Someone you don't know and they say that
Hate and love don't mix, like water and oil
The blood just floats

I have never had a strong sense of humor
I get off on rumors everywhere I go that she has
Gone to the east, or the west, or to hell
No matter where, I know her well

It's sad that it should end like this
One of us will leave this dead
It's not my fault she struck me when she knew our black was red

I'll find her
Don't know where
But she'll know what a broken heart feels like
When I send the clown after her head

Artist commentary:

not-the-kind-you-save:

I wanted to write something that was basically the antithesis of what we know about Dualscar's personality, at least musically speaking. It ended up being something approaching a rap (I can't rap so I sang it instead). It's Dualscar's justification to hisemlf that he's in the right when it comes to his relationship with Mindfang, and it goes all the way through his clown-ridden demise. Enjoy!

Lou Chastain:

Tried replacing Mindfang with a little more Highblood instead. I wanted to kind of focus on that last part while the ships in the background is for Dualscar and Mindfang. It's a bit vague since the different hues of purple mix.
