†he first child have managed to put together a foot-stomping anthem for the new era of emo revival.

lyrics

If you could just allow me to ruin your day with everything I say
Then listen close because I will not ever repeat myself again
And I am sick of hurting my face from faking smiles all day
Because I’m hideous and almost always feel this god damn way

Don’t say you have been charmed
I crave your touch I’m starved
Don’t say you have been charmed
I promise you’ll be harmed

I’m glad the world revolves around you
Oh goddess how could I ignore you
Too bad I don’t believe in gods
Because what are the odds that I could not make you feel mortal

Excuse me for being so awful
Excuse me for being myself
I’m sorry that I’m still breathing
I know you hate that
Sound
Did I strike a nerve if so I'm unaware
If you wanna go to heaven I’ll get you there

Don’t say you have been charmed
I crave your touch I’m starved
Don’t say you have been charmed
I promise you’ll be harmed
You’ll never leave these arms

And if you threaten me again, go ahead I’ll call your bluff
If you think that it’s enough for me from seeing all of your cuts
I’ll bathe in all your blood, when you open up those wrists
I don’t care if you’re still bleeding I’ll continue to persist
The more you talk about it
The more I know, I doubt it
The more you talk I want you choking on the words you shouted
and don’t think that by just censoring me
That I won’t stop basking in my cruelty

Don’t care, didn’t ask, plus you’re dead to me
