Singer:

I'm the mature one

I'm not nervous

I'm as cool as an ice covered surface

Got no magic

And I'm homeless

I'm not bothered cause I try not to question what my worth is

I don't ask how hard the work is

Got a cool unflappable surface

Overblots

Phantoms

I fight 'em

I help 'em

I take what I'm handed

I do what's demanded

But

Under the surface

I feel as cool as a tightrope walker in a flower town circus

Under the surface

Was Vil ever like 'Hey, I don't like what my role is'

Under the surface

I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service

A weakness

A crack

The magic I lack

Makes me dream of black

Makes me dream of black

This ink is drip, drip, dripping ever so slow

Whoa

This ink is drip, drip, dripping and it's starting to flow

Whoa oh oh

Give it to the prefect

She's a soldier

Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

What am I if I can't do it all?

If I fall too

This ink is drip, drip, dripping ever so slow

Whoa

This ink is drip, drip, dripping and it's starting to flow

Whoa oh oh

Give it to the prefect

She is stronger

She can handle it a little longer

What am I if I complain at all?

If I falter

Under the surface

I hide my nerves and I worry an overblot is gonna hurt us

Under the surface

Bet Azul doesn't quake as he sees who his next mark is

Under the surface

I think about my purpose

Can I somehow fix this?

Ink blotches stain my clothes

Can't stop the ink flow

I try to stop the flowing

But on and on it goes

But wait,

If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations

Would that free some room up for joy

Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

But to my displeasure

It's ink I measure

It's flowing

It's growing

Cause all I know is

Ink that's drip, drip, dripping ever so slow

Whoa

Ink that's drip, drip, dripping and it's starting to flow

Whoa

Give it to the prefect

It doesn't hurt and

See if she can handle every student's burden

Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

No mistakes, just

Ink that's drip, drip, dripping ever so slow

Whoa

Ink that's drip, drip, dripping and it's starting to flow

Whoa

Give it to the prefect and never wonder

If the same pressure would have pulled you under

What am I if I don't have what it takes?

No cracks

No breaks

No mistakes

No pressure
