Terrible Things by April Smith

second in the collection of songs I liked as a kid that I'm doing 8bit covers of
I spent a long time putting these together, and I'm really happy with the results. 

My Chemical Romance- Heaven Help Us 8bit cover

Spit your staged grief
Twist it for your chosen audience
False scars flaunted
Begging for a witness to your storm
Crafted fragile cries
Claiming torment built from hollow gestures
Still you circle hoping someone trembles
For you

As if I should kneel
Now
Now
As if I should kneel
Now
Now

Wearing martyr masks for praise
Wearing martyr masks for praise

Bent pose shown
Meant to frame your self-made agony
Cheap rites staged
Built to drag the room into your script
Tales you whisper loud
Urging shadows close to hide your fractures
Still you circle hoping someone trembles
For you

As though I pull loose lies
Down
Down
As though I pull loose lies
Down
Down
As though I pull loose lies
Pulled down
Pulled down
Pulled down
As though I pull loose lies
Pulled down
Down

Wearing martyr masks for praise
Wearing martyr masks for praise

Show your pose
Angle every break for sympathy
Scripted grief spread
Built to make your downfall feel prophetic
Would you tear yourself apart to look holy
Rather than stand plain without an audience
I won’t carry weight you forged from theater

Wearing martyr masks for praise
