artschoolgirlsofdoom I don't care if it's larp, I love Arranged in April. I'm in love with the intimacy of the songs on this record. To sum it up in a Sonic Youth lyric, "“And this she did for us to see, Shouting the poetic truths of high school journal keepers.”" Favorite track: Untitled.

In the deepest depths of the hole Where the love you lean on is Close to the door Pretend you never saw her Crave the love and don’t shame her Crave the love Crave her love Full force whip on a soft under belly Peel back skin to reveal I am something Face the end To truly understand the beginning Crave my love Crave my love, and please don’t shame me please don’t shame me My heart is in large parts rooted in desire chained to my soul My love is not a shame It will forever flourish and grow I care so much sometimes i fear it may be my greatest weakness So I’ll love her till the last door can close I don’t want peace or reconciliation in this life, I want redemption in the next

the carelessness of love from the ones before makes you so much easier to adore as i lay awake at night without you there I pretend not to care i keep you in my thoughts hoping you'll appear and us being apart was just a nightmare that i could wake up from if i tried my knees fall to the floor and my hands like gravity begging stay here with me please my knees fall to the floor and my hands like gravity begging stay here with me please i could love you endlessly i've already loved you through eternities and all the women before me who have lacked empathy should hope that they never meet me

Why act so kind now? Is it an apology, or just a way to soothe your ego, drowning the noise of your own self-hatred? Missing you feels like self-harm, peeling back my layers in slow, sharp agony for someone who won’t notice for someone who refused to notice “I can’t deal with this.”(Deal with this) What happened to the days when you said you were okay with my being, (I’m right here x2) like a badge of purpose (But I’m right here) “I’m the one hurt,” (I’m the one hurt) dismissing my reasons (But I’m right here) ignoring the plea for a thought of my feelings (But I’m right here) (Talking to you with your back to the door) Was it a turn on to see me broken? to see me cry, beg, and plead for a glimpse of your attention, while you turned away to crawl into your sorrowful, selfish, hole of pride “I can’t deal with this.”(Deal with this) What happened to the days when you said you were okay with my being, (I’m right here x2) like a badge of purpose (But I’m right here) “I’m the one hurt,” (I’m the one hurt) dismissing my reasons (But I’m right here) ignoring the plea for a thought of my feelings (But I’m right here) (Talking to you with your back to the door) Does it cross your mind? the weight of your betrayal will peel you away and slowly bury you to nothing while i stand and watch as you did with me

the second i feel someone pulling away from me i feel that i turn into this desperate being longing for the same "feeling" that we felt before knowing i have a purpose to fill and all is still and there’s only love at the core time is like sand running through my hands kisses only last so long holding on without your hand i cling to your love every word you’ve said tell me it’s forever tell me our hearts will be sewed together i’ll yearn ill linger for you ill pull the trigger ill cut off every finger the tears burn on my face thinking of your memory you’re my favorite place the ocean of love i have for you runs deep every promise i’ll keep tell me it’s forever i tell me our hearts will be sewed together i’ll yearn ill linger for you ill pull the trigger ill cut off every finger an instant gratification that nothing is changing we are staying and we are still just as in love as before

If I could feel If I could feel Why must these gruesome hands hold two different fates I will succumb to the urge To get away Stacked by the fruits of my labor I am basically nothing again Too cruel to even think about being someone Warped by my very own hands I wanna see the world ahead Prove to me you’re a , person please I’m rotted down by indifference The touch of another will feed , my insignificance To change my means, to feel Yet my body will never be, able to find, A simple resting mind And the filth will drag me down with it ,To die If I could feel If I could feel Why must these gruesome hands hold two different fates I will succumb to the urge To get away

sink your teeth into each other you both start to bleed it's fate seeing two people breed only makes sense smelling hate you feed i'm winning i feel like something is missing i need you both to suffer take your demons out on each other i'm in love with the man of my dreams being happy feels so sweet my existence is enough to make you feel insecure don't know what for and knowing that i want more i want to see you both burn crawl onto your beds of thorns i'm winning i feel like something is missing i need you both to suffer take your demons out on each other i'm in love with the man of my dreams being happy feels so sweet i want to watch it happen i want to watch the flames grow higher i want to watch the flesh melt off the cadavers i don't care i just want to see them battered

Untitled 02:08
you're food for thought you feed my mind you feed my mind I think i love you Though i know it takes time youre sugar cane youre everything you're honey in a jar The song in my guitar please never leave I couldnt bear it All I want is your heart please And to never share They said these are the marks of love Pale skin virgin pure becoming oversaturated ana coarse every bite hurts i sting Your smile grows wider The praise is the worst part oh all the feminine praise If only they knew how sharp those pearly white teeth can get and how deep they can sink into your flesh I am but a simple paint stroak to a bigger picture A painting that seems infinite An infant barely on its feet yet look at all the havoc The disaster of women I used to think I was to blame But no one could save me

Peel my skin off Allow the air to brush against my raw flesh Pulsing with anguish Don't stop there dig deeper gash out my heart For this pain I feel must not last any longer Frame it up Stare at it in all its glory It will forever beat Despite its detachment As long as you are alive It will to bleed for you Because of you My heart is screaming You said we were forever As the cold weather Takes bites at my core It's starting to feel like never I crave you Like a flower craves the sun on cold days Waiting for you to to come back Tell me you will My hearts is aching Please don't leave Serving my all to you on a platter You deny this love you craved Throwing it all away You will never find another of my true color My heart is screaming You said we were forever As the cold weather Takes bites at my core It's starting to feel like never This fills me with rage Ignoring my empathy is a pain For my sake I can’t wait
