Background[]
The Things I Deserve is a song featuring MAIKA by GHOST. The song is about a person who believes herself to be useless and ends up attempting suicide by a train crash. However, she doesn't actually succeed as seen by the line, "And I walked away unharmed."
The song was deleted, but re-uploaded on January 22, 2018. It has since exceeded a million views on YouTube.
According to a comment made by the producer on the re-upload of one of their songs, this may be an updated version of "Foolish".[1]
Lyrics[]
Say I could make a perfect world
By playing God and singing songs
Everyone would clap along
And I’d be gone without a trace
The source of misery is infused in flesh and bone
And all these horrid mistakes from deep within will be
Erased on the train tracks
Here it comes
The climax of the problem
What you’ve been waiting for
The deafening suspense
Oh, here it comes
The whistle’s blowing louder
We’ve all been waiting for
My problematic waste of an existence tearing to shreds
Right before your eyes
Share a universal smile
I’m sorry you had gotten so unlucky this time around
How I’m wishing you a better farewell in the next life
Say things reduce to entropy
By playing God, I ran away
No one gave a farewell
No shedded tears or lamentation
The source of misery is infused in flesh and bone
Its tongue is clicking away, a language we all regret
It’s not so easy for me
For me
The world in the palm of my hand
Destroyed
My problematic waste of an existence tearing to shreds
Right before your eyes
Share a universal smile
I’m sorry you had gotten so unlucky this time around
How I’m wishing you a better farewell
Alas, the story never changed for the better end
It’s sad to say
The damage done lives in my blood
And I walked away unharmed
Maybe another day I’ll get what I deserve
