LYRICS:
It's better than nothing,
the air in your lungs.
The power in your bones.
Oh, the shade you've become.
You've life left and that's more
than others can say.
You scrub at their blood
but it won't wash away.
You say it's fine.
Truthfully, it's far from it.
You pretend like the best
and you won't tell a soul.
If nobody knows you,
then no one can harm you.
You're capable. You've got it
under control.
So you never speak out,
'cause no one would understand.
And you never reach out,
'cause no one could lend a hand
but
I know who you are.
Under the mask.
You're just a girl
screaming into the void.
Though you've fortified,
you're haunted inside
by watching all that you love
burned and destroyed.
It creeps into your dreams,
infecting your bloodstream.
The monster they made you,
she lurks underneath.
Clench your fists and become her.
A new brand of thunder.
But watch you don't choke the world
with your new teeth.
Over and over you run it
through in your head.
Trying to find a way out
that you've ignored until now.
There's nowhere to go
still you're searching alone.
The alternative's asking for help
and you just can't do that.
After all, someone might
listen to your cries.
What could be worse?
I know the stories you tell yourself.
Like you're the only one,
and you have to do it alone.
Are you so proud you'd
forsake the world?
Just so you don't have to hear...
(oh)
I know who you are.
Under the mask.
You're just a girl
screaming into the void.
Though you've fortified,
you're haunted inside
by watching all that you love
burned and destroyed.
It creeps into your dreams,
infecting your bloodstream.
The monster they made you,
she lurks underneath.
Clench your fists and become her.
A new brand of thunder.
But watch you don't choke the world
with your new teeth.
The tides, everchanging,
they will drag you under
if you step into their pull,
if you let down your guard.
Given half the chance,
they'll tear you asunder.
You're not unbreakable.
Build up the walls of your heart.
If you hope to survive
in this terrible world.
Say it over and over again:
'This is not how it ends.'
It'll all be for naught
if you crumble, if you give in.
I know who you are.
Under the mask.
You're just a girl
screaming into the void.
Though you've fortified,
you're haunted inside
by watching all that you love
burned and destroyed.
It creeps into your dreams,
infecting your bloodstream.
The monster they made you,
she lurks underneath.
Clench your fists and become her.
A new brand of thunder.
But watch you don't choke the world
with your new teeth.
I really love the derpy Cyclops cats partying like there is no tommorow after song describing a persons futile fight against the whole world.
The callback to "Carousel" is so interesting! There are so many ways one could interpret a connection between that song and this one.
The line "After all, someone might listen to your cries." Is reminiscent of Light Up
evil Luisa au anyone??? lol
Been listening since "Hey Alice", love your work!
This newest set of music is gorgeous!! I’m loving the vibe
It's great to hear your new music. Been listening to you since 2014 or so, and your music is great for inspiring my muse.
the way these cyclop cat things absolutely VIBE to these songs is exactly what I feel when I listen xD
Just popping in to say that. First of all this is one of the best songs ive ever heard but also it REALLY fits the main character from Underhero. Just... I know it’s probably a coincidence, especially with how obscure that game is, but I feel like I gotta say SOMETHING. Almost every line in this fits that game PERCECTLY and just. Yeah. Great song, reminds me of a game i love, I could go on explaining every little connection i've made but i dont wanna write a wall. Great work, this song's definitely a favorite.
I've just realized this would probably be a good character theme for Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Recently I realized something about this song that I can't stop thinking about.
Can anyone else low key hear the melody to Carnival at
I absolutely love your music! I'm so glad you're still making it! ♡
THIS IS SO PRETTY OMG I LOVE ALL OF THE SONGS!!!!!
This song lives rent free in my head everyday-
Loved your music since I was a kid, it's good to be back!!
THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD??? IVE BEEN REALLY ENJOYING THESE SONGS COMING OUT
please come to brazil
Feels very Arcane, though it also makes me think a bit of R.F Kuang's Poppy War series. Love it.
Good cat-sneks!
