portals unrelased and released (some are not the same song but yknow i tried

Can't sleep, I won't eat
You're perishing before me
I'm panicked and rot at the core

Your words, they still haunt me
Like shadows on the concrete
The pain spreads like vines in my bones

Don't tell me that you're gone far away like that
I thought the distance was a string that would lead us back
Now I'm in the middle contemplating what my fickle
Heart really gained from the way that I left it with you

Death has come, it knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I'd put the pieces back but I burned all my chances

Took our time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen

I hide in your corners, peak over your shoulders
It's strange how you're missing me now

Heart's breaking 'cause I'm gone far away like that
You thought the distance was a string that would lead us back
Now you're in the middle contemplating what your fickle
Heart really gained from the way that you left it with me

Death has come, it knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I'd put the pieces back but I burned all my chances

Took our time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen

Death V2

Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void

You're so jealous and possessive
Passive and aggressive
Paranoid and obsessive
You are, you are, you are
Indecisive, pick your lovers like your vices
Yeah, you're always self-righteous
You are, you are, you are 

Never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one
Sorry for the things I've done, I'm done, I'm done
Please let me out of this room
Can't be alone with my thoughts no more
Think I got a key but I don't see a door, oh-oh

Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void

You're so motherfucking greedy
Always stealing from the needy
Break hearts so freely
You are, you are, you are
Fake and cynical, so hypocritical
'Cause you fall so fast and you always get attached
And you cut 'em all out with no trouble at it 

Never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one
Sorry for the things I've done, I'm done, I'm done
Please let me out of this room
Can't be alone with my thoughts no more
Think I got a key but I don't see a door, oh-oh

Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void

Melanie Martinez's creative drive and talents have always distinguished her from other musicians. After releasing her platinum-certified 2015 debut album, Cry Baby—which reached No. 1 on Billboard's alternative albums chart and has amassed over two billion streams worldwide —she conceived and directed a video for each song on the album. These mini-movies traced the traumas and insecurities experienced by the album's character, Cry Baby.
 
Melanie’s sophomore album and film, K-12, is another ambitious triumph. K-12's music is a vibrant and singular melting pot of low-key hip-hop, soulful pop and indie-leaning electro. K-12's universe is an expansion of the one introduced in Cry Baby. Using lyrics rich with metaphor, songs address the struggle to find a place to belong—including within friendships, the physical world and romantically—even when fitting into society feels like an uphill battle.
 
To accompany the album, Martinez wrote and directed a 90-minute movie (also called K-12) that incorporates the album's music and mirrors the themes and characters introduced. Filmed on location in Budapest, Hungary, the movie focuses on Cry Baby (portrayed by Martinez) and a class of students who find themselves trapped in a horror house-like residential school. As they experience the usual grade school rites of passage—a lunch room food fight, the embarrassment of gym class, a romance with nefarious intentions, courses taught by checked-out teachers— they have to figure out a way to escape.
