lyrics:

(chriad)
you know your words cut deep
everything you said to me
you make it hard just to come back home
you know i'm struggling
'cause i'm never sure what you mean
when you change your mind and i never know

but i know the
truth hurts you don't want to hear it
got me fucked up for no reason
i don't understand your feelings
and you never step out to calm down a bit
truth hurts you don't want to hear it
got me fucked up for no reason [for the rest of my life]
put all the blame onto me
you give me no choice but to leave

(deadman)
i‘ll take the blame for it all
despite the fact i tried
you just put up a wall
and filled my head with lies
and i know you won't change, love
you fucked up the way i think, love
and i don't know what i'm doing here
with someone who'd take my life
(deadman + chriad)
if they could now

(chriad)
if they could now
truth hurts you don't want to hear it
truth hurts you don't want to hear it

truth hurts you don't want to hear it
[truth hurts you don't want to hear it]
got me fucked up for no reason
[truth hurts so i'mma spare your feelings]
truth hurts you don't want to hear it truth hurts you don't want to hear it
[truth hurts you don't want to hear it]
got me fucked up for no reason got me fucked up for no reason
[truth hurts so i'mma spare your feelings]

[truth hurts you don't want to hear it]
[truth hurts so i'mma spare your feelings]
[truth hurts you don't want to hear it]
[truth hurts so i'mma spare your feelings]

truth hurts (ft. deadman 死人)

lyrics :

i've been feeling lonely and i don't wanna sleep
3am i'm finna go outside lurking
i think it's too early for a bad dream
bad thoughts in my head 
you're the reason why i cannot live
i gotta keep my head up right now
before i fall apart 
i mean is it wrong is it bad
i just wanted to be right

blood stains on my shoes
like a fashion victim
you say you don't care about me
what if i dissapear
don't cry when i leave
cause i'm gonna do it for real
you broke my heart into pieces
but maybe i deserve it

(you broke my heart into pieces)

you broke my heart
yeah you leavin me with scars
i don't need ya
and i won't say goodbye
i wish you die (right now)
so you can feel my pain (one time)
you don't deserve shit (like for real)
you gonna feel this pain (again and again)
i just wanna fall asleep
but i can't 
they wanna take my energy
they want me dead

they want me, they want me, they want me
they want me, they want me, they want me
they want me, they want me, they want me
they want me, they want me, they want me

broke my heart (p. anticon)

track 3: closer w/ @1tuxx


lyrics:
B MURPH:

The closer you get
The more you seem to fuck with my head
And the more I wish that I was dead
I’m getting too close to the edge
So I watch my step
And you say you’ve been trying your best
Well I guess this is the best we’ll get
I’m falling back down again
(Down again)

So please don’t get too close I’ll cover my face
I don’t want you to see
(I don’t want you to see)
That I’ve been hurting inside and you’re the one I really need
(The one I really need)

TUXX:

Don’t step, too close or you might meet the edge
You say I’m far from dead
At least we don’t know what the end consists of
So let’s try our best
Until you’re staring at the sky
With both of your eyes telling you why
You won’t find a thing inside
So can you try to help it make sense, at least play pretend
I know I’m not the person that you’ll understand
And I can’t comprehend what’s inside my own head
It gets harder to manage, it hurts in my chest

B MURPH:

The closer you get
The more you seem to fuck with my head
And the more I wish that I was dead
I’m getting too close to the edge
So I watch my step
And you say you’ve been trying your best
Well I guess this is the best we’ll get
I’m falling back down again
(Down again)

So please don’t get too close I’ll cover my face
I don’t want you to see
(I don’t want you to see)
That I’ve been hurting inside and you’re the one I really need
(The one I really need)

So please don’t get too close I’ll cover my face
I don’t want you to see
(I don’t want you to see)
That I’ve been hurting inside and you’re the one I really need
(The one I really need)

Lyrics:

I crappily play 
Every fucking instrument in this song 
Because I have no friends
All I do is sit in my room alone 
So I'll do my best
NEET or Fried by Fluoride impression
I'm not in possession of talent  

Thought I was musicmaxxing
But apparently I was wrong 
This is yet another
Generic incelcore song 

I got 45 followers on soundcloud
So suck my dick you stupid bitch
I'm pulling numbers

Fried my brain 
As a teen
Browsed 4chan a bit too much
(A bit too much...)

Thought I was musicmaxxing
But apparently I was wrong 
This is yet another
Generic incelcore song 

I just wanted a cute femcel so I could hold her
And lover her
Start a nice family away from all this degeneracy 
Is that too much to ask?
And now I'm a music nerd
It's pretty absurd 
I know all the chord shapes and all of the scales
All the production tricks to make me heard 
Yet I'm still so alone...
All because I (All because I...)

Thought I was musicmaxxing
But apparently I was wrong 
This is yet another
Generic incelcore song
