[Re-recorded]

*waves* Hello everyone. Knell signing in with my first english vocaloid cover. Doing this song was so fun because it was perfect for my voice range~

(Oh. And it can get really loud sometimes so I suggest you turn down the volume first. I'm still not used to volume settings, haha~)

The new ideas to which nobody will ever listen
Are litter on my desk half-baked and half-forgotten
Proposals mapped in lead my future is fantasy met
With counter arguments

If I just listen closely I can hear them talk about me
That kid’s a monochrome single color string-up dolly
At its heart a mastermind sets down the parameters
As a grating symphony
Ah, why don’t you go stick a price tag on to me
Ah, even life grows stagnant expectedly
I’ll round it up

What a bunch of shit
I just want to quit
So my head I stick out the window
Life is such a bore
Don’t want it anymore
But I don’t have the courage to go

What a bunch of shit
I just want to quit
I press a syringe on the pulse of my wrist
Life is such a bore
Don’t want it anymore
Eating some cake, I take a shaky breath

Seems like everyone is high strung in mid air swinging
Counted the bolts and screws in their head and some were missing
I’m my own double agent, bound yet investigating
This friendship factory

Raise my antenna I can hear them whispering about me
That kid’s a sponge-like mediocre media monkey
Radio voices peddling businesses of moral dissonance
Trash bins of existence

Ah, “why don’t you come over and join with us?”
Ah, how many people will you kill like that?
I guess, I’ll round the number up

What’s the point to this?
I just want to quit
Align with my chest the point of a knife
Life is such a bore
Don’t want it anymore
But I don’t have resolve to take my own life

What a bunch of shit
I just want to quit
I’ll let my body sink and submerge my head too
Life is such a bore
Don’t want it anymore
I’ll just think about it because think is all I do

Ah if you crawl with your head kept to the ground
Ah this is the proof of the end that can’t be found
I guess I’ll round it up

What a bunch of shit
I just want to quit
I jump down in the middle of the tracks
Life is such a bore 
Don’t want it anymore
But half way through I always turn back

What a bunch of shit
I just want to quit
I hold the gun between my eyes
Life is such a bore
Don’t want it anymore
But it’s no use I’m still too scared die

It’s just that I want to cry
It hurts so much but I
Have nobody to show this to
My pain is only laughed at
Ignored just like that
In other words I’m only a piece of trash

Tomorrow will be the same again

[Re-recorded]

I had soooooo much fun! Typically Matryoshka is a hard song to sing because of the notes but because it's also c-r-a-z-y I got away with switching it up a lot~ I got to improvise all the loony speaking clips and switch up the key too. Hope you like it~

Title: Matryoshka

Lyrics:
Stupid message is way over-planned
Delivered or not, I just don't give a damn
Pretty sure I've always been this way
Just one crazy, patch-work Matryoshka

Headaches make this shit flow from my brain
Time's moving on, but the clock reads the same
I'd prefer it that this not get around
Folks don't like to hear that the world is upside-down

Ah, I'm broken
Or that's what they'd like to tell me anyway
I wanna know what's
Deep deep down inside

Heey hey, could you maybe play it again?
Kalinka? Malinka? Snapping the bowstring
Tell me, tell me, what should I do?
This feeling's kinda pulled one over me
Loud and clearly, 524
Freud? Keloid? Strike the piano
Soon you'll laugh at e-ve-ry-thing
Dancing faster like an idiot with me

Clap-clap-clapping our childish hands
Try to keep a beat we don't understand
And I can't be asked to give a rat's A
Weather's getting colder, colder every day

Do you wanna go on a rendezvous?
Rendezvous? What's a rendezvous?
What is that supposed to be, a type of food?
Why don't we find out soon? 1,2,1,2

Ah, I'm so pissed
Using both my hands to keep it all inside
I'm gonna blow it
Empty out my mind

Umm hey, listen listen, it's important
Kalinka? Malinka? Just pinch me, would you?
I can't seem to steady myself
Maybe we should do something else, instead
Hurts, it hurts me, but I won't cry
Parade? Marade? Play it again, then
"Wait," you tell me, "Just a second!
Don't, don't you make me separate from you!"

Do you wanna go on a rendezvous?
Rendezvous? Oh! A rendezvous!
Can we maybe go on an adventure too?
Oh I can go with that-- 1,2,1,2
Drinking heavily-- singing out of key-- every day, you see
I'm one crazy Matryoshka!

Hey hey hey, could you maybe play it again?
Kalinka? Malinka? Snapped like a bowstring
Tell me, tell me, what should I do?
This feeling's kinda pulled one over me
Loud and clearly, 524
Freud? Keloid? Struck like a keyboard
Laughing at most e-ve-ry-thing
Soon, soon, we won't be dancing anymore

Watched episode 1 and fell in love with the song and the story. This is my favorite cover so far.

Lyrics:
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey

Are you able to fall asleep  
Healed yet the wounds that run deep?
Just coz you spend your night alone
Don’t force yourself to love someone
It won’t end but you want to still try
Never knowing what dreaming feels like
Or how it feels/ to choke on your own tears as you cry
Is tomorrow the place you’re hiding in?
Did you already stop your breathing
Even though things right now are  hard
Don’t go out of your way to change who you are
Coz even all the bravest warriors
Even all the most fearful sheep
Survive their leaves taking another street 
(Yeah yeah) So that I don’t stick  out
(Yeah, yeah) So I can keep it all down    
(Yeah, yeah) So that my train of thought keeps running 
and never ever end
Tonight, I’ll run away run away
As if is this is all a lie
Somebody could you please hold my hand tight
I don’t care if the day I waited for never comes for me
All I want to do is just sleep

Can you hear me call you out
Can you stand , start walking now 
Even though your heart’s in pieces, you insist on looking tough
Let’s raised our voice up high, Let’s make our hearts beat out loud
As if to tell the world that we’re not backing down
Yeah, yeah. So that we never stop
Yeah, yeah, So that we never give up
Yeah, yeah, So that in the end we’ll manage, to keep ourselves intact
Tonight we Live and Die
Learn and Die
If this is a dream
Come here and sing one of those lullabies for me 
Don’t care if I never see the day I waited for
I just want to sleep a little but longer
(How do you sleep, Ah)
(How do you sleep, Ah?)

Joining hands we’ll survive, Don’t  make me believe
The shitty love and friendship lie doesn’t work on me
Who’s the one singing the song that we all hear
Humming through those bitter tears?
Tonight, I’ll run away run away
As if is this is all a lie
Somebody could you please hold my hand tight
I don’t care if the day I waited for never comes for me
All I want to do is just sleep

(Live and die live and die, as if this is a lie)

All I want to do is sleep

(Live and die, live and die, as if this is  a lie)

Oh

Just let me sleep

Lyrics:

Don’t trust a single centimeter of a blade
Watch it cut clean through a crucial vein
Bleeding a fragile and sensitive love
Turning a Les Paul into a dangerous weapon

No Fiction

I’m good at things with numbers like science and math
I’m hopeless at language so I hate that class
While wrestling with two answers which is the right one?
Only to find out that both of them were wrong

Today’s Assignment
A paper about me
Keep it moderate
No individuality
Why is it that sometimes
Not sometimes but always
We say that we feel sad
We say that we’re lonely?

If you can read the letters written clearly in chalk
Then do you think that you could read that kid’s secret thoughts?
The person who’s responsible for staining his heart black
Tell me who did that, tell me who did that

So can you solve the problem on your abacus yet?
Can you untie the noose that has him by the neck?
Is it really alright to remain as we are?
Tell me what should I do? Now it doesn’t matter

It doesn’t matter how much time may pass
This new hypnotism is the same as the last
Building a castle of meaningless pride
I sigh, knowing that it’s pointless

As always
This homework
I don’t know the answer
My heart starts to hurt
As my chest becomes tighter
I can no longer
Ignore what it’s saying
"I don’t want to be here"
"Can somebody kill me?"

If you can read the letters written clearly in chalk
Then do you think that you could read that kid’s secret thoughts?
The person who’s responsible for staining his heart black
Tell me who did that, tell me who did that

So can you solve the problem on your abacus yet
Can you untie the noose that has him by the neck
Is it really alright to remain as we are
Tell me what should I do? Now it doesn’t matter

Can you recite the formula for area-ratio
Can you recall the dreams you said you’d never let go
The person who took all those dreams from you
You already know who , you already know don’t you?

Grow up! When will you stop being such a kid?
But can someone tell me what the heck an grown-up even is
Can somebody even help me at all?
Tell me what should I do? Now it doesn’t matter anymore

Lyrics:
I waited for you
I waited for you
Without any stop, the future rolls on
I pause and looked back
To where you might stand 
Maybe we’ll cry over days that have gone

Memories don’t just last forever
Even though it hurts I guess the lesson is learned
But now I can’t stop the tearing inside
Or from crying in the corners of my mind

I wanna  tell you to hold on
To nights beneath the lamp lights
And to days that just slipped away
Though I regret the words I didn’t say

I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
Without any stop, the future rolls on
I pause and looked back
To where you might stand 
I can’t accept yet that those days we had are gone

Woah But I 
Won’t say that fate has won
One day I’ll tell
You

Oooooh, spooky.

The clock stopped ticking forever ago
How long have I been up? IDK : - (
I can't get a grip, but I can't let go
There wasn't anything to hold on to, tho

Why can't I see 
Why can't I see
All the colors that you see??
Please can I be 
Please can I be
Colorful and.. free?

What the hell's going on?!
Can someone tell me please--
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV
I'm black then I'm white
No!!! Something isn't right!!
My enemy's invisible,
I don't know how to fight

The trembling fear is more than I can take
When I'm up against the echo in the mirror

ECHO

Speaking:
Beware the voice, the echo in the mirror
Have you heard the echo in the mirror?

What am I doing here? 
What am I doing here?
I can’t think, I can’t feel

What’s going on? 
Where am I going?
I try to look ahead and all I see is a blank

No tomorrow (No future)
It’s not white (It’s not black)
It’s nothing (Nothing?)Nothing!
What's that moving in the mirror? (I hate the girl in the mirror)

Is it enough yet?
Is it enough yet?
No up, no down
Just walls just walls just walls
(I feel like I’m drowning)

Can it be over yet?
Can it be over yet?
I don’t want to be here (I don't want to be here)
I don’t want to be there (I don't want to be there)
I don’t want to be anywhere (I don't want to be anywhere)

*Laughter*

I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black!
The echo in the mirror says:
"Why can't I die yet?"

Bridge:
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now and never look back
(x4)

I'm gonna burn my house down and n-never look back
And never look back
AND NEVER LOOK BACK 

What the hell's going on?!
Can someone tell me please--
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV
I'm black then I'm white
No!!! Something isn't right!!
My enemy's invisible,
I don't know how to fight
(x2)

The trembling fear is more than I can take
When I'm up against the echo in the mirror 
(x2)

Lyrics:

Do you get that feeling that keeps pushing your feet forward
Or hear that voice inside your head that says go on?
This burning impulse born within you is a treasure
No matter if it’s made of truth 

Or if it’s all wrong

And we may only be pushing the edge of a fantasy
Even if it’s all just a dream, it’s fine by me.

It seems like it’s in reach 
But there’s a way to go so make some noise!
These days have you made 
The choice that it’s now time to shine bright?

If we push onwards this ride and refuse to get off
(We won’t get off!)
I am sure that our future is hurdling closer
(It’s misty but I can see)
Even if this point in time may fade, even if it’s “unimportant”
There is nothing in this world that can smother this breath

Because the end is worth it

Never took a voice lesson in my life, aided with the built-in mic of a really old (but well-loved) Mac, watch as I attempt to cover Vocaloid and anime songs in English. Just one of those perpetually tired college students with a happy little hobby.
