The Demi fiend slowly stood up and looked at the screen before punching camera when the beat drops and the title of the book showing.

We were getting off the ground to leave our pain behind

The demi-fiend sat on a hospital bed resting his head on his knee before moving his head up and sighed.

So, how you gonna burn this down with nothing left to find?

Looking forward he saw Isamu and chiaki staring at him with the camera going behind the demi-fiends head...

Yeah, we were gonna run this town
But now you've gone and locked me out

The camera then moved to the right going behind Naokis head and replaced Isamu and Chiaki with there corrupted form before jumping to him when the last word in the sentence was spoke...

I guess you finally found yourself pretending to be
Pretending to be someone else, a walking shell

[Chorus]

The Demi-Fiend ran through a dark tunnel holding his head in pain as memories of the past went plastered themselves on the tunnel before tripping into a hole when the lyrics said reap with the Demi-Fiend holding his head in pain.

You live on making promises you can't keep
You're running from the consequence you won't reap
Sell me out in the end, were you ever a friend?
But it was never perfect, tell me, was it all worth it?
Thought you were my family, but now you're nothing to me

[Post-Chorus]

The camera then zoomed into The Demi-Fiends yellow eyes showing Lucifer in its reflection.

Yeah, now you're nothing to me

[Verse 2]

The scene then changed to the Demi-Fiend standing in the rain while wearing a hoodie with the hood covering his head and having his back facing Ren. Ren stood in the corner with an umbrella and attempted to reach out to him before the scene changed at the end of the verse.

So way to go, you superstar
It's lonely at the top (Lonely at the top)
But know that when you're ten feet tall
It hurts more when you drop
But now we're running out of time
I can't believe you wasted mine

[Pre-Chorus]

The Scene then showed the world changing between mementos and the real world and ren switching back and forth with his clothing and phantom thief attire along with the Demi-Fiend only wearing shorts.

It's really looking like you're fine pretending to be
Pretending to be a coded lie

[Chorus]

It then showed The demi-Fiend drowning in water as he desperately tried to swim back up with Both a Demonified Isamu and Chiaki staring at him with disgust as they turned away and leaving to let the Demi-Fiend drown at the end of the Chorus

You live on making promises you can't keep
You're running from the consequence you won't reap
Sell me out in the end, were you ever a friend?
But it was never perfect, tell me, was it all worth it?
Thought you were my family, but now you're nothing to me

[Bridge]

Ren quickly ran passed them along with the other phantom thieves and riadou jumping into the pool to rescue him before ren grabbed The Demi-Fiends hand with the others pushing from below.

You said you were hurting that you were in pain
Was that another part of your game?
You hide in your mask and pretend you belong (Ooh)
Am I just a line in your song?
You said you'd regret this but still followed through
Now tell me, what was I to you?
