Throwback 04:52
Thrown back to the wolves, I’m gonna go back to the woods I wanna Show you something you’ve never seen before I’m always hunting for new ways to capture your attention I’m a lowly beast, please come and Teach me how to be a woman Out of the fire, back to the frying pan I’m feeling so tired of being in high demand and I’m no atlas, I’m barely a dictionary My world’s fractured, I’m just a visionary Don’t you know I love you Silly little moon, you’re mine Always thinking of you Even when I don’t, you’re fine I’m the kind of mess you’d pick up, one thing to the next I think of I’m afraid my style is all wrong, dragging out the verses too long Round the corner, here comes another change It’s getting warmer, it’s come into firing range and Missed the chance again, god damn it I’m so dumb I just can’t stand it Never mind I’ll go back to where I was it seems like this won’t change but it always does Edging nearer to something I’ve always heard, oh What will it take to find these familiar words Don’t you know I love you Silly little moon, you’re mine Always thinking of you Even when I don’t, you’re fine

I’d like to tell you a story. I don’t usually tell… stories… well, not like this. But something happened to me, and I’m having a difficult time finding someone who could really understand exactly what it was. Even I’m not sure I understand exactly what it was. It was very strange. One night when I was walking home, I looked up at the sky and suddenly realized that I hadn’t seen the stars in years. Now what had I been doing all this time, that that wouldn’t have happened? Where had my head been turned - had it all been a dream? I flung myself down in a patch of grass and looked up, tried to drink everything in. All those little dots that I’d missed. As I stared at them - the stars, of course - everything began to spin faster and fast. And that’s when I realized: I was just fucked up. First there was a void Then there was you Then you were the void What should I do? Haven’t seen the stars in years I’m still crying through my tears, baby Where have we been? Didn’t know that it was spring Didn’t know pretty much anything Please let me in Once I was a kid Trapped in my room And everything I did Would be over soon How to fall out of this hole Getting old never seems to get old Or so I’m told By myself (that’s right) Everything must have an end Like pretending you’re my friend (pretend you’re my friend) So hey how’s it going? Uhh… I haven’t uhh, seen you in a really long time. I know I said it was the stars and all, but the truth is, I meant you. ‘Cause… you’re the stars to me… baby. You’re more than just the stars, you know, you’re uh, you’re everything, and uh, it’s just been a while since I’ve seen you… was hoping that you would feel the same way… as me… See you later…

Gro^up 03:15
When I grow up, I’m gonna be everything you ever wanted When you grow up, you’re gonna want me Falling at your feet like a dog Hoppin’ back and forth like a crazy frog Self sabotage When I’m riled up, I gotta duck, gotta run for cover Because I know who’s gonna haunt me Dancin’ on the edge of a cliff Never really thought it would be like this But it is When I’m grown up, I’m gonna be lost in a sea of faces When you’re grown up, you’re gonna face me Making reservations for us Drop my life and get on the nearest bus Just because I’m an impulsive person

I got home again, I phoned a friend, ‘cuz I Felt kind of funny Now the week is past, I can relax, I wish That it was sunny Stopped on my way home to visit you at work for the very first time You seemed happy to see me Spoke with you for a second, then I headed out To Best Buy It was pretty dreary ^ I wrote down those lines back in a time where I Still kind of liked you Now my opinion’s changed, the song is strange Don’t think that I did this to spite you It’s just common sense, and no offense, but you Are really boring I’m so glad I walked away, one autumn day And that concludes this story

Why exhaust myself tryin' to get through to you I should just off myself, then I can prove to you That you’re a treasure And I don’t care Why distress myself trying to speak with you Second guess myself cry and feel bleak No, no Not again Just go, I can tend to myself I don’t need your help I’m almost at the end Purgatory Hell, da da da da da Hope that this song isn’t boring you I can’t I can’t tell Why disgrace myself trying to placate you I wouldn’t hate myself if I could vacate you Yes, you’re an island I’m cast away Why destroy myself trying to feel for you I could enjoy myself if I could peel apart from your skin You’re right, I have been so wrong Knew it all along Yet didn’t do a thing Purgatory Hell, da da da da da Hope that this song isn’t boring you I can’t I can’t tell Stuck in a self-absorbed glory Hole, la la la la la Just know that I’m not ignoring you Though I might as well Doesn’t really matter, does it? And the irony won’t break your back It’s just a minor sprain And you deserve to have a heart attack For all the painful things you’ve done to my brain

In the mainframe I’m always there coding my relation to you It’s a shame that even if you knew you wouldn’t know what to do Information, everybody’s leaking through the holes in my head Masturbation, everybody’s trying to take back what they said Everybody’s out to get me They all want to understand me I don’t have the heart to tell them I don’t have a heart anyway In the end there’s little you can do to reestablish the trust Twist and bend while everything’s unfolding in the way that it must If you’ve burned your bridges you should invest in a matter transporter So when you feel regret you can overlay the overexposure Everybody’s starting to doubt me They all doubt they could live without me I don’t have the time to argue I don’t have the time Or a watch [bridge] and you know ive been watching you dont you? well, i mean just about as much as i’d watch anyone, i guess… but I do watch them a lot, I mean that’s basically all I do, I watch things, I look at them, and sometimes I have thoughts, you know, occasionally, I-i mean i think the difference therein is I just, I just seem to think about you more and i’m trying really hard to rationalize that so what do you you say? you wanna spend some time with me? because given your behaviour, I just - I just think it would make sense if you did, you know? haha and when i’m here it really doesn’t matter much at all what I say if you hear me just give me a nod and you can go on your way the problem with the nod is you’re giving it to everyone free so it does not possess any real kind of special value to me Everybody wants to love me t hey’re all really frightened of me i don’t have the words to tell them I don’t have the words

Virtual You 03:25
If I follow this line I’m bound to reach the front And I really don’t mind if you do what you want It’s no problem if you just need to get away Cause I just programmed a virtual you today It’s a virtual you It does the things you do It’s gonna treat me good As good as you would Virtual fantasy Virtual can’t you see It’s just the thing for me But I’m not happy And I really don’t care if you mess around Cause there’s no replacement for me to be found You can try but you’d never find a kind of virtual me Maybe that’s the reason why I’m so lonely 
 Still there’s virtual you Does what I tell it to To the degree that you Would do what I tell you Virtual validate Reality can wait Meet your virtual fate Before it’s too late I’m indifferent to your presence in my life Cause I tried so hard to keep you by my side But you never really loved me quite the same So I remade you to try this once again Virtual remedy Virtual friend to me Virtual everything Be mine forever It thinks your every thought And it looks like it’s not Thrilled with the things I’ve done Oh well, whatever

Carefalling 04:11
Like a fly caught in a web, I’m Knitting just to pass the time Wait for your return I’ve decided to stop dying Living for you now Without you Giving up my doubts About you I should be careful But I’m watching your mouth now, my secret is out now You should be careful But you’re watching my eyes, you could mirror them nicely Like the captain of a ship I’m charting out the course I’ll take Learn to live with it Being friends with my mistakes Coming for you now My dry land Gonna find us both An island I should be careful But I’m watching your mouth now, my secret is out now You should be careful But you’re watching my eyes, you could mirror them nicely

Manual 03:10
You think I want to Use you for something But all I want is your mind If you don't trust me I understand but There's things you must realize You must realize not to listen to my words You must externalize what is outside the world Go on and run away Go on and run away from me now You think that I don't Deserve your drama But I deserve what I get If you're concerned with My panorama Maybe ya don't know me yet You must learn how to walk tightrope inside a maze You must consolidate life into just one phrase Go on and say it now Go on and run away from me now
12.
No Matter 05:04
Maybe it’s easier to write away the pain But no matter whatcha write, I’ll read it, yeah Maybe it’s hard to find exactly the right words to say But no matter whatcha say, I’ll hear it, yeah I wanna listen to your soul (Soulful) I think your brain is beautiful (Tru Luv) It doesn’t matter much at all what I do As long as I can do it with you Maybe it’s difficult to place yourself sometimes But no matter where you are, I’ll find you, yeah Maybe you’re having trouble walking in between the lines But no matter where the line is, I’ll meet you there I wanna travel by your side (Side chick) And be the reason for your smile (Face lift) There’s no real point in trynna hide how I feel As long as I can feel that you’re here Maybe you’re struggling to figure out what’s right But no matter what it is, I’ll never do you wrong Maybe you haven’t found your way into the light But no matter where the light is, I’ll turn it on I wanna look into your eyes (Nice view) And find new ways to harmonize (With you) It doesn’t matter much at all what I do As long as I can do it with you As long as I can do it with you

about

Vague Devil is the debut album of idiosyncratic multimedian and psychological prankster Sasha Chimaera, crafted sardonically from MIDI-synth infused hell and spanning a variety of styles and sentiments. Largely touching on themes of the virtual, the dissociative, and conversely, human emotion, the album takes listeners on a lushly baffling journey through 13 stark pieces. Some of the content of these pieces includes: programming an artificial lover, how sociopaths work, being totally wasted and looking at the stars, caring a whole lot about someone, walking tightrope inside a maze, and feeling like a ghost.
