"Now now," Austin took his place onstage after the Eggpire left, "We're here for one thing, the finale between the Feral Boys and Divergent Paths, right?!" Austin asked, and got an overwhelming yes. "Yeah! Okay everyone, today, we have the Ferals singing Freaks, and the Paths singing Tongue Tied, are we excited to hear?"

"YEAH!"

"Good, good!" Austin nodded. "So, let's have our before performance vote! Red for the Ferals, and Green for the Paths, guys! And as we tally up the votes, let's hear a song from Corpse, Lily and Derivakat, singing Stand Out, Fit in, mixed by Derivakat herself."

The audience clapped, going back to their voting as the three came onstage, Kat put a laptop down, and the three positioned themselves in front of mics. The instrumental started, and Lily hummed softly into the mic to start the song.

Kat sang first, the simple strumming of a guiar in the background.

"I know they don't like me that much

Guess that I don't dress how they want

I just wanna be myself, I can't be someone else"

Corpse sang next, his voice softer compared to his other music.

"Try to color inside their lines

Try to live a life by design

I just wanna be myself, I can't be someone else

Someone else"

Lily followed, the instrumental's guitar softening.

"They yell, they preach

I've heard it all before"

Kat sang backup,

"Heard it all before"

Lily continued,

"Be this, be that

I've heard it before

Heard it before"

They all sang together, the instrumental turning more intense.

"Big boys don't cry

Shoot low, aim high

Eat up, stay thin

Stand out, fit in

Good girls don't fight

Be you, dress right

White face, tan skin

Stand out, fit in"

"Stand out, fit in

Stand out, fit in"

Corpse went first this time,

"Lately, it's been too much all day

Words shot like a cannon at me"

Lily went next,

"I just wanna be myself, I can't be someone else

Someone else"

Kat sang the pre-chorus,

"They yell, they preach

I've heard it all before"

Lily harmonized,

"I've heard it before"

"Be this, be that

I've heard it before
