iknowiknowiknow / ZiePan feat. Kasane Teto SV

!! CONTENT WARNINGS: gore, themes of suicidal ideation, self-harm, death & dissociation. !! AAAAAAAaaaa! Finally my first song can release!! Hello everyone ヾ(*'▽'*) I'm ZiePan! I've been working on lots of songs using Teto and now I'm going to finally release them! (つ≧▽≦)つ This one is quite gruesome and spooky, but that's par for the course when I want to write some classically angsty/horror-y songs like the ones I grew up with (except this time in English :p). Hopefully the gore in the art isn't too much for YouTube... (￣▽￣*)ゞWe'll see! Hope you enjoy this one~!

I’m scared the person I would watch is someone I despise Every morning I lie in bed, wondering if I'm slowly dying When I’m floating above myself I see my shivering form Ugly gasps and a plea for life, a voice destroyed from its endless crying echoes throughout my aching chest, but I can’t tell if it’s mine When I destroy myself  I’m not the only casualty  I pray I’m not a plague that kills my family I know I know I know I’m not okay I watch my body from afar as I disintegrate I don’t know how I ended up this way I need to keep my suffering at bay I know I know I’ll lock myself up inside a cage and throw away all that isn’t pretty I don’t want to be human if my being causes you harm This is how I will keep you safe. I’ll become my own taxidermy I’m the artist and I’m the art that hangs itself on your walls Killing nerves as I watch from above Mutilating my own flesh for love Where did I learn to perform such violence on my very own skin? Can I be beautiful once I'm a husk? A pretty doll once I disown my guts? A picture perfect son immortalized as bloody paintings covered in dust!? I know! I know! I know I’m not okay But can't I still have worth to you as a gothic display? I'm sorry that I I'm better off this way Forgive me when my flesh starts to decay [Instrumental] When I destroy myself  I’m not the only casualty  But please, could someone recognize this corpse as me? I know I know I know I’m not okay I watch my body from afar as I disintegrate I don’t know how I ended up this way I locked my heart inside a picture frame I know I know I know I’m not okay I'm sorry for the things I say while I am in this state I don’t know how I ended up this way Forgive me when my body’s all that stays I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know Thank you for listening!!
