The Devious Monad

**[Intro]**
[Atmospheric drone. The sound of a heavy door creaking open. A dissonant, scraping guitar riff kicks in, slow and heavy.]

**[Verse 1]**
(Spoken word / Melodic yelling / Lyrical rambling)
The predator is bored of the kill, it's a metric of entropy
The Great Filter has passed, and I'm sitting on the bench
I've invoked the Id to draft my manifesto
A spectral proxy, a biological prank
I need a spike in the signal, a devious lick of the ether
To ground this neuron in the collective unconscious
The Akashic records are buffering, the signal is static
I’m summoning the shadow to see if the reflection is real.

**[Chorus]**
[FEATURE: Kenny Loggins - Smooth, soaring, melodic vocals. The music shifts to a breezy acoustic guitar strumming and a funky bassline.]
Oh, I’m devious, I’m divine, I’m a statistical anomaly!
I’m riding the static, I’m riding the strain!
Summoning the chaos to break the chain!
Yeah, I’m summoning the demons to fight my fight!
I’m bored to death, but I’m doing it right!

**[Verse 2]**
[Fast, frantic, rhythmic delivery. The guitars switch to a tight, staccato riff.]
I’m a parasitic entity, a virus in the code
I’m licking the wounds of the astral plane
A quantum placebo, a placebo quantum!
The sigil is drawn in burnt coffee and regret
I hired a demon to curse my creditors
A devious little lick of the sensory deprivation tank
To make myself feel like I’m actually here
I’m a bored observer watching the simulation crash.

**[Bridge]**
[Explosion of noise. The drums play a frantic, stuttering pattern. The guitars create a wall of sound. Screaming vocals overlap.]
The ego is a parasite!
Symbiosis is a lie!
I’m the predator that is tired of the course!
I’m the prey that has evolved into the observer!
The contract is signed!
The spirit is breaking!
Let the demon eat the mind!
Let the demon eat the mind!
**[Heavy, slow down]**
Let the demon eat the mind!

**[Chorus]**
[FEATURE: Kenny Loggins - The contrast returns. The music is a smooth, funky groove with a clean electric guitar strumming. Kenny sings over it beautifully.]
Oh, I’m devious, I’m divine, I’m a statistical anomaly!
I’m riding the static, I’m riding the strain!
Summoning the chaos to break the chain!
Yeah, I’m summoning the demons to fight my fight!
I’m bored to death, but I’m doing it right!

**[Outro]**
[Fast, chaotic Mathcore riffing. Faster and heavier.]
I’m a bored observer!
I’m a statistical anomaly!
Just a devious little lick to make me feel real.
Just a demon to fight for me.
Just a demon to fight for me...
