(Lyrics to song are in italics)

Song: Zombified by Falling In Rverese (it literally came out today lamo -jan 5, 2022-)

The monsters aren't living under your bed
'Cause they are the voices in your head
Zombified by the lies they've said
We've become the walking dead

All the words. All the lies. All the deception Tommy has faced has left him numb, feeling like a zombie. Why? It's simple, and has already been stated- because of all the lies Tommy has been fed growing up, he's learned to not care about it all. All the things Phil and Wilbur would call him, the way too harsh criticism Technoblade would drop on him, none of it mattered anymore. Not to Tommy, at least.

Oh no, they'll never let go
Of something you said 10 years ago
They're cancelling, cancelling you
And they won't stop 'till everybody's

Once, Tommy stood up to Philza's harsh words. It didn't end well, let's just say. He was about seven or so. It went a little something like this- (the following text is a flashback) "Phil, can I talk to you?" Tommy stumbled into the living room, still unsure of what he was going to say to his dad. "What is it, Tom?" he was bust with his T.V. "Erm,, can you and Wil stop saying mean things about me?" "Excuse me?" "I said please stop saying mean stuff to me?" "Tommy, you're being dumb, we don't say mean things about you." "But you just called med dumb-" "I said you're acting dumb, so stop." "But- but I don't like it." "What kind of things do we say, then?" Phil asked, clearly getting annoyed. "You guys think I'm a dumb child, you say I can't do anything, I can't be useful, I'm just in your way, I'm-" Tommy's hands were now fists and he was crying a bit, but he didn't notice. "Enough, Tom," "Then will you stop?" "Tom, we are not being 'mean' to yiu, we call you a child because you are-" "But all the other things you say to me-!" "I said enough! Go to your room, now!" he listened. That was the last time he talked back to Phil for a while. (Flashback done)

Zombified (Zombified)
They're pumping us with lies
Like it's formaldehyde
They're dead inside

A zombie. That's what others thought Tommy was nowadays. He rarely spoke, rarely acted up, and barely talked to Phil, Technoblade, or Wilbur(Revived). Whenever anybody spoke to him, he listened, but it was like he wasn't actually listening. The only people who actually got him to be normal were Tubbo and Ranboo. Around them, he was himself; loud, eccentric, playful, everything that he was. Tommy knew that Ranboo and Tubbo cared about him, and they did. But the others,, his 'family', some would call them, they didn't care-at least Tommy thought so.

It goes on and on

Let this goWhen it stops we'll never knowWe're hypnotizedAnd they won't stop 'till you'reZombified

"Tommy, I think you should talk to Phil and Wilbur and Techno," Tubbo would say, in an attempt to save Tommy and his family. "Why?" Tommy would become slow-he would just stand or sit there, and do nothing. "Because I think they do care about you, I mean, families call each other dumb, right?" Tommy shrugged. "I don't know, Tubbo. They don't feel like family to me, especially Wilbur." Tubbo sighed. "But, can you at least try? PLease?" "Fine." Tommy stood up and set a course for Phil's house. Wilbur probably wouldn't be there, but he would still talk to Phil. When he got there, he was surprise. Phil, Wilbur, and techno were all inside, just having a normal conversation, it seemed. And he was about to ruin it. Not on purpose, of course, but he just had things he needed to say.

You better shut your mouth and bite your tongue

'Cause you don't wanna piss off anyoneWe're traumatized by the damage doneWelcome to [The DreamSMP] <--ignore that, I thought it was funny

"Tommy, what're you doing here?" Wilbur was the first to notice his presence in the room. "I need to talk to you. All of you." they all turned to Tommy, ready to hear what he had to say. "I tried to do this a while ago, but I wasn't taken seriously, because apparently I was acting like a 'dumb child,' so I was told." Philza sighed. "Tommy, are we really having this conversation again?" "Yes, because I'm fucking tired of the shit you say about me!" this was the quickest Tommy's had ever been angered. 

'Cause everybody's talking bitch
Oh no, they'll never let go
Of something you said 10 years ago
They're cancelling, cancelling you
And they won't stop 'till everybody's

"We don't say anthing about you, T-" "Don't fucking lie! I've heard everything with my own damn ears, you can't lie about this shit!" "Tommy, we don't mean what we say," Wilbur spoke, but he was calmer than Phil. Technoblade, however, hadn't spoken yet. "Then why do you say it then?" he wanted a true answer, and it seemed he would. "Because we-well, I say those things-because, well,, Tommy, you know I love you, right?" Tommy nodded. No matter how much he seemed to hate him, Wilbur was one person who could tell the truth when he wanted to, and Tommy kind of cared about him. "Yeah, knew it. Well, as you get older-which you are-it gets harder for some people to express their feelings," "So you're saying that you don't know how to show that you care about me, so you just say those things?" He nodded. "I know, it's shittier than just saying I don't know how to show you I care for you, but I can't really put it words better than that," "Okay,, what about PHil and Techno? Why are you guys so harsh?" "Because I need to be." Techno responded. "I'm the eldest, I'm supposed to help and criticize you, but I don't mean for it to be insulting, okay?" That was probably the best result he'd get from Techno, he was a man of few words. "And Phil? Why do you say these things?" "Same as Techno,"

Zombified (Zombified)
They're pumping us with lies
Like it's formaldehyde
They're dead inside
It goes on and on
Let this go
When it stops we'll never know
We're hypnotized
And they won't stop 'till you're
Zombified

"Lies." Tommy glared at him. "I know you have a better reason, so spill it." Phil sighed. "I say what I say because most of it's true-and don't fucking yell at me before I can even explain, okay?" Tommy just looked at him, waiting. "yes, I love you, but sometimes you can bee a bit much, which is why sometimes I call you annoying, other times you can act dumb or stupid, hence why I've called you stupid. I know it probably hurt you, but I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm trying to make you realize that some people don't tolerate behaviors like yours, alright?" Tommy sighed.

Go (Hahahaha)
They're feeding off your broken mind
They won't die they multiply
We've become so fucking blind
They won't stop 'till you're
Zombified
Pick it up
Oh, oh

"You could have told me this earlier on, you know that?" he was looking at the floor. "Tommy, you wouldn't have understood back then," "Would I?" "No. Back then, when somebody told you couldn't do something or you wouldn't understand something, it would piss you off and you'd throw a tantrum," "You could have atleast made sure I wasn't around. I know you probably meant well, but it hurt hearing those things, okay?" "Tommy, we understand, and we're sorry. We'll try to stop, okay?"

Now everybody's zombified (Zombified)
They're pumping us with lies
Like it's formaldehyde
They're dead inside
It goes on and on
Let this go
When it stops we'll never know
We're hypnotized

"Yeah, okay," Tommy smiled a bit and left. He didn't know if he believed them, but he didn't want to yell and shout. He wanted to change, to make them happy and show them that he wasn't the child he was. Whether they would believe it was up to them, but he would try.

And they won't stop 'till you're
They won't stop 'till I'm
They won't stop 'till we're all
Zombified
