THE AMAZING DEVIL LYRICS.
All of these lyrics are from the album ‘The Horror and the Wild (2020).                Change anything as needed!
“When you call to me asleep”
“And I breathe not now”
“I know the kindest thing is to leave you alone”
“I could try to calm you down. But I know you won't.”
“I know the kindest thing is to never leave you alone”
“Every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed.”
“They said it all comes down to you.”
“You were raised by wolves and voices.”
“You watch the stars hurl all their fundaments.”
“You are that space that’s in between every page, every chord and every screen.”
“We’re drunk but drinking.”
“You’re the words that I promise I don’t mean.”
“All the stones and kings of old will hear us screaming at the cold.”
“Give me back my heart you wingless thing.”
“I steal the hours and turn the night into day.”
“ Without you, I’m stronger, I’m no longer filled with wonder”
“ So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off”
“ Let’s wander, till the fuckers demand an encore”
“ Come and rip off my socks like you’re blasting the locks off of a bank vault.”
“ Hold me, lover, like you used to”
“ We don’t know what’s out there”
“ Wear a raincoat or it’ll soak you to the bone”
“ And I love you, don’t you know”
“ Cause when it’s cold, I’ll wrap my scarf around you”
“ Get drunk for me, sing louder than you’ve sung for me”
“ When you were young, you’d kick things just to see if they would fall”
“ But I’ll stick up for you, even though you haven’t got a clue, you haven't got a fucking clue”
“I know you’re strong enough”
“How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?”
“You look like I need a drink”
“I'm the hardest goodbye that you'll ever have to say”
“Every time that you fumble, I'm the laugh from the back”
“I promise you I'll be better”
“You brought me to this party but you left me here behind”
“So long to the person you begged me to be”
“Take up arms, take my hand, let us waltz for the dead”
“Goodbye to all my darkness, there's nothing here but light”
“It's what my heart just yearns to say in ways that can't be said”
“It's what's engraved upon my heart in letters deeply worn”
“Today I somehow understand the reason I was born”
“it’s not fair how much I love you”
“It’s not fair, 'cause you make me laugh when I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something”
“Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades”
“And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked”
“You couldn’t lie then and you sure as hell can’t lie to me now”
“And for some reason you’ve painted the kitchen lime green”
“The minute I met you, the colours of my life began to pour”
“Don’t lie with your eyes, you know I despise that look”
“This isn’t a break up, dearheart, it’s a season finale”
“I'm the captain of courage that you've eternally lacked”

‘ I Know What You Did Last Summer ‘  “ It's tearing me apart. “ “ It's tearing me apart. “ “ She's slipping away. “ “ Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say ? ” “ The pictures on her phone -- and she's not coming home ... “ “ I know what you did last summer. “ “ Just lied to me, ‘ There's no other ‘. “ “ Tell me where you've been. “ “ Look me in the eyes, my lover. “ “ I know, when she looks me in the eyes they don't seem as bright. “ “ I know that she loved me at one time -- I would have promised her that night. “ “ Cross my heart and hope to die ! “ “ I can't seem to let you go. “ “ I can't seem to keep you close. “ “ I know you didn't mean it though. “ “ I wanna know you mean it. “
‘ Mercy ‘ “ You've got a hold of me ... don't even know your power. “ “ I stand a hundred feet but, I fall when I'm around ya. “ “ Show me an open door; then you go and slam it on me ! “  “ I can't take anymore. “ “ I'm saying, baby: please have mercy on me ! “ “ Take it easy on my heart ... “ “ Even though you don't mean to hurt me, you keep tearing me apart ! “  “ Would you please have mercy on my heart ? “ “ I'd drive through the night just to be near you, baby. “ “ Tell me that I'm not crazy ! “ “ I'm not asking for a lot; just that you're honest with me ! “ “ My pride is all I got. “ “ I'm a puppet on your strings. “ “ Even though you got good intentions, I need you to set me free ! “  “ I'm prepared to sacrifice my life, I would gladly do it twice. “  ‘ Treat You Better ‘  “ I won't lie to you. “ “ I know he's just not right for you. “ “ Look, you can tell me if I'm off - but I see it on your face when you say that he's ‘ the one that you want ‘ ... “ “ You're spending all your time in this wrong situation, and anytime you want it to stop -- I know I can treat you better than he can. “ “ Any girl like you deserves a gentleman. “ “ Tell me why are we wasting time on all your wasted crying when you should be with me instead ? ”  “ I know I can treat you better ... better than he can. “ “ I'll stop time for you ... the second you say you'd like me too ! “  “ I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing ! “ “ Baby, just to wake up with you ... would be everything I need, and this could be so different ! “ “ Tell me what you want to do. “ “ Give me a sign. “ “ Take my hand; we'll be fine ! “  “ Promise I won't let you down. “ “ Just know that you don't have to do this alone. “ “ I promise, I'll never let you down. ”  ‘ Lost in Japan ‘ “ All it'd take is one flight; then we'd be in the same time zone. “ “ Looking through your timeline, seeing all the rainbows; I got an idea.”  “ I know that it sounds crazy ! “  “ I just wanna see ya. “ “ Do you got plans tonight ? “ “ I'm a couple hundred miles from [ Location ]. “ “ I was thinking, I could fly to your hotel tonight. “ “ 'Cause I can't get you off my mind ! “ “ I could feel the tension; we could cut it with a knife. “ “ I know it's more than just a friendship ! “  “ Do I gotta convince you that you shouldn't fall asleep ? “ “ It'll only be a couple hours -- and, I'm about to leave. “ “ I was hoping I could get lost in your paradise ... “ “ The only thing I'm thinking 'bout is you. “ ‘ Stitches ‘ “ I thought that I've been hurt before, but no one's ever left me quite this sore. “ “ Your words cut deeper than a knife ! “  “ Now I need someone to breathe me back to life. “ “ Got a feeling that I'm going under ... “ " I know that I'll make it out alive, if I quit calling you my lover. “ “ You’d watch me bleed until I can't breathe. “ “ I'm shaking, falling onto my knees ! “ “ Now that I'm without your kisses; I'll be needing stitches. “ “ I'm aching; begging you to come help ! “ “ Just like a moth drawn to the flame ... “ “ You lured me in; I couldn't sense the pain ! “  “ Your bitter heart, cold to the touch ... “ “ Now I'm gonna reap what I sow -- “ “ I'm left seeing red on my own ! “  “ Gotta get you outta my head ! “  “ ... Gonna wind up dead ... “ ‘ There’s Nothing Holding Me Back ‘ “ I wanna follow where she goes. “ “ I think about her & she knows it. “ “ I wanna let her take control. “ “ 'Cause every time that she gets close; she pulls me in enough to keep me guessing ! “  " Maybe I should stop and start confessing ... “ “ I love it when you go crazy ! “  “ You take all my inhibitions -- “ “ Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back ! “  “ ... You take me places that tear up my reputation, then manipulate my decisions ... “ “ She says that she's never afraid. “ “ Just picture everybody naked. “ “ She really doesn't like to wait; not really into hesitation. “ “ 'Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far ... ? “ “ I know we would be alright. “ “ If you were by my side & we stumbled in the dark ... ? “ “ I feel so free when you're with me. “ ‘ In My Blood ‘ “ Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing. “ “ I'm overwhelmed and insecure; give me something -- that I could take to ease my mind slowly. “ “ ‘ Just have a drink and you'll feel better ‘ ... ‘ Just take her home and you'll feel better ‘ ... Ya keep telling me that it gets better, does it ever ? “  “ Help me ! “ “ It's like the walls are caving in ... “ “ Sometimes I feel like giving up. “ “ No medicine is strong enough ! “ “ I'm crawling in my skin. “ “ I just can't -- It isn't in my blood ! “  “ I'm looking through my phone again & feeling anxious. “ “ I’m afraid to be alone again, I hate this ! “  “ I'm tryna find a way to chill, but can't breathe. “ “ Is there somebody who could help me ?! “ “ Sometimes I feel like giving up; But I just can't -- It isn't in my blood. “ “ I need somebody now. “ ‘ If I Can’t Have You ‘ “ I can't write one song that's not about you ! “ “ I can't drink without thinkin' about you ... “ “ Is it too late to tell you that - ‘ Everything means nothing if I can't have you ! ‘ ? “ “ I'm in [ Location ], and I got this view -- But, I might as well be in a hotel room. “ “ It doesn't matter 'cause I'm so consumed: been spending all my nights reading texts from you. “ “ I'm good at keepin' my distance. “ “ I know that you're the feelin' I'm missing. “ You know that I hate to admit it - but, everything means nothin' if I can't have you. “  “ I'm so sorry that my timing's off: but I can't move on if we're still gonna talk. “ “ Is it wrong for me to not want half ? “  “ I want all of you; all the strings attached. “ “ I'm trying to move on; Forget you. “

fairest of the fair
#hi! im alive and back and etc.#six the musical#six the musical fanart#katherine howard#thinking of that post going 'i think eventually you become the person you needed most' and like maybe that's the thing with my art#this started out as a redraw and <improvement meme> i think i've finally reached the stage where i'm making the things that my younger self#aspired to create. like i can do this now! i've reached That level of technical skill! tiny me would be so proud. it's very gratifying#redraw from august this year actually. i've made a surprising amount of improvement HAHA maybe it was the adamandi stuff getting me#back into digital rendering. i think that obsession has quietly slipped away but yknow. one never truly leaves a fandom. just less intensit#also speaking of old fandoms! we're back with the six stuff haha. as of writing i'm in the midst of blog revamp- figuring out how to chill#multifandom status doesn't mean ditch all the old stuff ! but i do feel much freer and less stressed. i think hiatus has been good for me#notes on this piece particularly: redraw about cutting hair and thinking of the lyric above. also lowkey &j ref + pinterest poem excerpts#of female suffering. and maybe a dash of amanda heng let's walk inspo. this work is really just full of contradictions..#1. the mirror and cutting hair as an act of self liberation 2. the & is part of the lyric but also a nod to &j (in another iteration it was#pink but the white looked better) and like. &j is really all !!! girl power!!! etc. and i was like hmmmm. also matching pink shiny aes#3. the frame as a cage; the mirror as a self reflection idea (ie. saville's propped insp) but also as a sign of vanity. 4. sparkly costume#and pretty pose- read one too many poems about women feeling like they have to be pretty even in their suffering. something i wanted to#explore. and also in 5. the show itself... all you wanna do is. despite all the dancing and pink and sparkly the content of the song is#darker. and even though it's a story of her suffering it's still presented as a shiny fun pop song and ajshdhfhfh ok... 6. the lyrics fall#outside the frame. sort of a caught inbetween. sort of a trapped in the narrative and yet#within the frame it's all. vaguely handwavy breaking free vibes. like i said contradictions?#7. cutting off the long ponytail vs the pull my hair lyric at the end. yeah#8. the blocked off & looks a bit like scissors. positioned to cut right at the neck#anyways yeah irl remains hectic! but if i get around to more doodles they'll appear here :)

And you'll find that your worst enemy is within you. “ “ It's me & my friends & I know that they got me ! “ “ Got no fear in my heart 'cause I know that I'm brave. “ “ Never gave up, kept my head in the game ! “ “ If you ever get lost, then I'll come back and find you ! “ “ On a bad day, a villain can't defeat me -- “ “ Everybody gotta fear when there's combat. “

An AU in which Henry and Alex are exes, also Alex is a rockstar who puts a lot of himself into his songwriting. And there’s a happy ending
...every time I play a game like this you come in with something that desperately wants to be a gamefail. I see you.
ONE: The breakup isn't anybody's fault, and that makes it so much worse. If Henry could blame Alex—if Alex had cheated, if he'd let fame get to his head, if he'd started holding the money he was earning over Henry—it would be a lot easier to move on. The pressure of trying to maintain privacy just got to be too much.
TWO: They don't text. They don't call. Clean break. Sometimes, when it's late and Henry's drunk, he pulls up their text thread and just reads through it. Once or twice he could swear he sees the typing indicator flash up for a moment, but it's always gone before he can figure out if it's just his imagination.
THREE: The first time Henry hears Can't Seem To Shake You he's on his knees in a club bathroom, Alex's voice barely discernible through the walls and over the throbbing bass.
