Lyrics Of The Song “You Didn’t Know”

Verse 1

EMILY
But she was right, Sera
She showed us a soul can improve
He saw the light, Sera
Checked all the boxes that you said would
Prove a person deserves a second chance
Now we turn our backs, no second glance?

Verse 2

SERA
It’s not as simple as you think
Not everything is spelled in ink

Chorus

CHARLIE
It’s not fair, Sera

Verse 3

VAGGIE
Careful, Charlie, keep a cool head

Chorus

CHARLIE
No! Don’t you care, Sera?
That just because someone is dead, it doesn’t
Mean they can’t resolve to change their ways
Turn the page, escape infernal blaze

Verse 4

SERA
I’m sure you wish it could be so
But there’s a lot that you don’t know

Interlude

LUTE
What are we even talkin’ about?
Some crack-whore who fucked up already?
He blew his shot, like the cocks in his mouth
This discussion is senseless and petty

Bridge

LUTE & ADAM
There’s no question to be posed
He’s unholy, case closed
Did you forget that Hell is forever?

Verse 5

ADAM
A man only lives once, we’ll see you in one month
Gotta say, I can’t wait to

Chorus

SERA
Adam

Verse 6

ADAM
Come down and exterminate you

Breakdown

EMILY
Wait!

Interlude

ADAM
Shit

Chorus

EMILY
What are you saying? Let me get this straight
You go down there and kill those poor souls?

Chorus

CHARLIE
You didn’t know?

Bridge

ADAM
Whoops

Chorus

LUTE
Guess the cat’s out of the bag

Verse 7

ADAM
Wh-what’s the big deal?

Chorus

EMILY
Sera, tell me that you didn’t know

Verse 8

SERA
I thought, since I’m older
It’s my load to shoulder

Bridge

EMILY
No!

Verse 9

SERA
You have to listen, it was such a hard decision
I wanted to save you, the anguish it takes to
Do what was required

Chorus

EMILY
To think that I admired you, well
I don’t need your condescension
I’m not a child to protect
Was talk of virtue just pretension?
Was I too naïve to expect you
To heed the morals you’re purveying?

Chorus

CHARLIE
That’s what the fuck I’ve been saying!

Chorus

CHARLIE & EMILY, SERA
If Hell is forever, then Heaven must be a lie (Emily!)
If angels can do whatever, and remain in the sky
The rules are shades of gray when you don’t do as you say
When you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again

Bridge

CHARLIE
I was told not to trust in angels

Chorus

ADAM
By her?

Interlude

LUTE
Ha! She should know

Verse 10

VAGGIE
We should go

Outro

CHARLIE
No! Don’t you see? We’ve come so close
Look at them fighting, they’re at each other’s throats

Chorus

ADAM
Don’t you act all high and mighty
Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar?

Bridge

VAGGIE
Don’t, Adam please!

Outro

ADAM
What’s the fuss?
Why hide the fact that you’re an angel just like us?
