[Part 2]
"Evil" Ren
Repeats continuously when "Evil" Ren is singing. There is two occasions where
evil Ren starts a capella, and therefore starts at the second part of this tune (base note at fret 5).

After this he does some strumming and going chromatically up, but I don't know exactly which notes.
You can play around with this yourself!

[Outro]
Outro part with high pitched singing
This part is strumming chords:
 
Dm - A - Bb - F

 

Hi there, Ren 
It's been a little while, did you miss me? 
You thought you'd buried me, didn't you? Risky... 
'Cause I always come back 
Deep down you know that... 
Deep down you know I'm always in periphery 
Ren, aren't you pleased to see me? 
It's been weeks since we spoke bro, I know you need me 
You're the sheep, I'm the shepherd, not your place to lead me 
Not your place to be biting off the hand that feeds me

Hi, Ren 
I've been taking some time to be distant 
I've been taking some time to be still 
I've been taking some time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm ill 
And I've been making some progress lately 
And I've learnt some new coping skills 
So I haven't really needed you much man 
I think we need to just step back and chill

Ren, you sound more insane than I do 
You think that those doctors are really there to guide you? 
Been through this a million times 
Your civilian mind is so perfect at always being lied to 
Okay, take another pill, boy 
Drown yourself in the sound of white noise 
Follow this 10 step program, rejoice! 
All your problems will be gone! Fucking dumb boy

Nah mate, this time it's different man trust me 
I feel like things might be falling in place 
And my music's been kinda doing bits too 
Like I actually might do something great 
And when I'm gone maybe I'll be remembered 
For doing something special with myself 
That's why I don't think that we should talk, man 
'Cause when you're with me it never seems to help

You think that you can amputate me? 
I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we 
We are one, split in two that makes one so you see 
You got to kill you if you wanna kill me 
I'm not left over dinner, I'm not scraps on the side 
Oh your music is thriving? Delusional guy! 
Where's your top ten hit? Where's your interview with Oprah? 
Where are your Grammys, Ren? Nowhere!

Yeah but, my music's not commercial like that 
I never chased numbers, statistics or stats 
I never write hooks for the radio 
They never even play me, so why would I concern myself with that? 
But my music is really connecting 
And the people who find it respect it 
And for me that's enough 'cause this life's been tough 
So it gives me a purpose I can rest in
Man, you sound so pretentious! 
Ren, your music is so self-centered 
No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself, trust me 
You should be so lucky 
Having me inside you to guide you 
Remind you to manage expectations, provide you 
Perspective, that thing you neglected, I get it 
You wanna be a big deal... Next Jimi Hendrix? Forget it

Man, it's not like that

Man, it's just like that 
I'm inside you, you twat

Nah, it's not, man, you're wrong, when I write I belong

Ren sits down 
Has a stroke of genius 
He wants to write a song that was not done previous 
A battle with his subconscious... 
Eminem did it

Played on guitar

Plan B did it 
Man, you're not original, you criminal 
Rip off artist, the pinnacle of your success is stealing other people's material 
Ren, mate, we've heard it all before 
Ohh "she sells sea shells on the sea shore"

Fuck you, I don't need you, I don't need to hear this 
'Cause I'm fine by myself, I'm a genius! 
And I will be great, and I will make waves 
And I'll shake up the whole world beneath us

That's right, speak your truth 
Your fucking god complex leaks out of you 
It's refreshing to actually hear you say it! 
Instead of down play it...

"Oh, music is all about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to within that then that's just a bonus"

Fuck you, Ima fucking kill you, Ren

Well, fucking kill me then 
Let's fucking have you, Ren

Ima do it, watch me prove it, who are you to doubt my music? 
'Cause I call the shots I choose if you die

Yeah, I call the shots and so I who choose who survives 
I'll tie you up in knots then I'll lock you inside

News flash... 
I was created at the dawn of creation 
I am temptation 
I am the snake in Eden 
I am the reason for treason 
Beheading all Kings 
I am sin with no rhyme or reason 
Sun of the morning, Lucifer 
Antichrist, father of lies 
Mephistopheles 
Truth in a blender 
Deceitful pretender 
The banished avenger 
The righteous surrender 

When standing in front of my solar eclipse 
My name it is stitched to your lips so you see 
I won't bow to the will of a mortal, feeble and normal 
You wanna kill me? I'm eternal, immortal 
I live in every decision 
That catalyzed chaos that causes division 
I live inside death, the beginning of ends 
I am you, you are me, I am you, Ren

 

 

Hi Ren... 
I've been taking some time to be distant 
I've been taking some time to be still 
I've been taking some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill 
But just as sure as the tide starts turning 
Just as sure as the night has dawn 
Just as sure as the rain fall soon runs dry when you stand in the eye of the storm

I was made to be tested and twisted 
I was made to be broken and beat 
I was made by his hand, it's all part of his plan that I stand on my own two feet 
And you know me, my will is eternal 
And you know me, you've met me before 
Face to face with a beast I will rise from the east and I'll settle on the ocean floor 
And I go by many names also 
Some people know me as hope 
Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope 
And you know how I know that I'll prosper? 
'Cause I stand here beside you today 
I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain 
And I didn't once flinch or shake 
So cower at the man I've become 
When I sing from the top of my lungs 
That I won't retire, I'll stand in your fire, inspire the meek to be strong 
And when I am gone I will rise 
In the music that I left behind 
Ferocious persistent, immortal like you 
We're a coin with two different sides
