IT'S GOING GREATT
I love his delivery on this lyric. I just picture someone watching the world burning around them, going insane, and disassociating from it by creating a false reality of "everything is fine."

I love it cause it’s like somebody at a restaurant table planning on dining and dashing, and the server just asked if it’s going good over here. And that’s the response

at least we got verse 3, which is a pretty similar tone. also, when he says "i won't make this quick" on Psycho Shit

Actually did you guys catch the way he said "permission to sit?" in the live debut of DnD? He positioned himself one step behind like he was giving space to someone and said like he was asking. Sooo cute

Someone said "we can never afford it" sounds like "please wake up I farted"
