I wrote this in under two hours. It's no Brandon, but it's fast for me. Thanks to Grace for the idea and inspiration! I just wrote something unexpected Not for anyone but me and you The publishers and fans don't know it but it's beautiful - and it's mine What else can I do? (Fans:) let us read, let us read (new books, let us read, let us read) What else can I do? (we're hooked, let us read, let us read) (you troll, let us read, let us read) I write lines of literature Books earn smiles by the piles I write perfect practiced proses Not much hides behind my style What could I do if I just wrote what I was feeling in the moment? (Peter: Do you know where you're going? Whoa!) What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be signed for I just needed to write; and they let me write A hurricane of words and paper Mishmash plots (not!), pages and lines (this is fine) This extra time frees up my mind, it is sublime I wrote this for you What else can I do? Can I deliver us a fourth story too? Don't worry about burnout, a little just won't do I want to move on to something new I'm not sick of the old, it's just time to be bold, so I choose It just seemed like you weren't doing okay, from that video yesterday (How long can this secret hold) All we know are the worlds that you show and it's awesome to see what's inside How much can I write - here's the proof, no more lies - let's go A hurricane of words and paper Mishmash plots (not!), pages and lines (shine!) This extra time frees up my mind, it is sublime I wrote this for you What else, what else? What can you write when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment (Kickstarter numbers are growing) What can you write when you have nowhere else to be in the world I'm with my family today (everyone, it'll be okay) I'm coming through with a year of swag (with that big bag!) Making news, New York Times ("changing times") The way is brighter, days and nights're swell - we owe this all to you What else can I do? (Emily: show 'em what you can do) What else can I do? (Fandom: there's nothing you can't do) What else can I do!

A song I wrote in the throes of post-Calamity mind break syndrome. Major spoilers abound. A parody of the Gorillaz song "Clint Eastwood," because rapping is Calamity's secret vice. (Original music contains explicit lyrics.) I ain't happy, but feeling glad I've got limelight in my hands I've fought this for oh so long This curse just keeps going on I ain't happy, but feeling glad I've got limelight in my hands I've fought this for oh so long This curse just keeps going on And going on And going on And going on... Yes... Finally, someone let you out of your cage Unchained to bring destruction and to shout out your rage I just freed from within All your natural sins How they've clattered in din But they're always what wins Regrettable Perhaps you didn't see so I command you to From my point of view I'm just making your wills tangible. Live and learn Hope and spurn As you raze and burn Toss and turn 'Cause these lessons had to be this stern. Now you lie and claim that hope's for what you yearn As if you could discern You think I'm corrupting you? Nudging you? Maybe. Cyclical The power that's bestowed on you just proves that you're all crazy Mindless You squawk and fuss and gawk at every sunrise Sightless 'Cause it's clear no truth could push into your eyes You like this? You're just beasts that think they're righteous But you're all just spineless Removed from all brightness I ain't happy, but feeling glad I've got limelight in my hands I've fought this for oh so long This curse just keeps going on I ain't happy, but feeling glad I've got limelight in my hands I've fought this for oh so long This curse just keeps going on And going on And going on And going on... The essence of justice Relies on some substance You lack in your numbness Children in your roughness Epics You think they're far removed, that's a fallacy You're in them! Every steel city Every flooded sea Every murder spree I see them with my eyes! All this destruction and demise! Corruption undisguised! While you claim that some are wise And you hit me with your lies Claim that if I'd just left you be some heroes would arise. But fear won't depart. "Calamity's" the name you give for what's in your heart And it tears you apart. That's you, not me So I'll just stick around and be the watcher Throw out some gifts to drown out what you think is solace I brought all this To show you can't survive when you're so far from flawless Meantime all your nightmares might just hightlight your dread Till doomsday just remember that they came from your head. I ain't happy, but feeling glad I've got limelight in my hands I've fought this for oh so long This curse just keeps going on I ain't happy, but feeling glad I've got limelight in my hands I've fought this for oh so long My curse just keeps going on And going on And going on And going on And going on My curse just keeps going on And going on And going on And going on And going on My curse just keeps going on And going on And going on And going on And going on My curse just keeps going on And going on And going on My curse just keeps going on And going on And going on My curse just keeps going on And going on And going on My curse just...
