pack it all up inside don't let anything out wait until it festers & let it out as anger don't blame other people for your mental health they're dealing with their own shit it's not their job to help let go of that anger clean off that shelf make a vow to grow old and take care of your self i want the world to see me and hear me yell "no i never needed you, but i loved you like hell"

i go for a walk to keep from going crazy you said that you'd call five hours ago baby i'll say I'll hate you but keep every single note that you wrote sing all the songs we made and pray everyday that you're ok if in five years from now we're still together, will it be better or are we doomed to fail like a ship in a storm with broken sails i wasn't lying when i said that i would marry you let's just wait til next june and in the meantime we'll see how we do

ACAB 02:20
nothing's justified when you're stealing lives another mother weeps into blood filled streets do you feel safe do you feel brave well we don't mass incarceration rules this hateful nation the land of the free thrives on slavery do you feel safe do you feel brave well we don't

there was a time when i considered you god i would do anything to bathe in your warmth the line of my heart curves to yours intertwined forevermore can you feel our fate with me you'll find your place walk with me into the night i'll stay by your side we'll make light of everything we'll dance through the storms the line of my head curves to yours in your bed forevermore can you see my soul with me you'll become whole

retracing the steps we took to go downtown to find some drugs we get in trouble but we're in love we get in trouble but we're in love so we're okay we'll go back to Far Rockaway it takes all day sitting on the A train waiting for a change sitting on the A train waiting for a change ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye lmao you punched a hole in the moon for me i can't see where I'd be without you it's hard for me without you it's hard for me so lay your head down my sweet darlin the world is ending but we're still chillin i won't mind if you won't mind i won't mind if you won't mind ... it's getting warm out again been wondering which one of my friends aren't gonna see the end of summer tell me do you still love her? sitting on the back porch again watching you smoke your cigarettes glowing in the orange of the streetlight well i'm not leaving you tonight no i'm not leaving you alone no i'm not leaving you alone

about

this album has been a labor of heartbreak and healing for the past three years. thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience and support. it is my hope that you will find some healing and solace in this album as i have. writing this album was my way of healing from a relationship that left me at my lowest point. i have moved so far past that time, so releasing this album feels like a final step in healing from that, though i don't believe healing is truly ever completed.

when listening to this album, i hope you feel seen, held and loved. your pain is valid, but so is your need to move past it and whatever growth and happiness that follows.

thank you.

take care of yourself.

love,
The Childlike Empress
