I'M GOING TO BE SINCERE FOR EXACTLY FIVE FUCKING SECONDS, SO DON'T GET USED TO IT. IT'S A HUGE HONOR TO BE PART OF A COLLABORATION WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF MYSELF, ALL OF US BRINGING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE WHILE STILL BEING THE SAME LOUDMOUTH IDIOT AT THE CORE.
AND YEAH, I'M ESPECIALLY PROUD THAT CANTABILEGATO (THE ORIGINAL BROADWAY KARKAT) SAW FIT TO KNIGHT ME AS THE OFFICIAL NEW ITERATION OF BROADWAY KARKAT. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I TAKE LIGHTLY. IT MEANS A LOT COMING FROM THE GUY WHO HELPED DEFINE THE ROLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THIS WHOLE PROJECT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY INSANE IN THE BEST WAY, AND I'M GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE INVOLVED. ESPECIALLY CANTABILEGATO FOR PUTTING THIS THING TOGETHER AND SOMEHOW HERDING A CROWD OF KARKATS WITHOUT CAUSING A TIMELINE COLLAPSE. IT'S BEEN AN HONOR, AND I'M DAMN PROUD OF WHAT WE MADE.

[SOMEBODY TO LOVE]
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Ooh
Each morning I get up, I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself in the mirror) take a look in the mirror
And cry (and cry)
Lord, what you're doing to me (yeah, yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody)
Ooh, somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard (he works hard)
Everyday of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard-earned pay all on my own (yes, on my knees on)
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
Till the tears run down from my eyes, Lord
Somebody (somebody)
Ooh, somebody (please)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(He works hard) everyday (everyday)
I try, and I try, and I try
But everybody wants to put me down, they say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love? (Anyone)
(Somebody find me someone to love) got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm okay, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah, yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love (find me, find me)
Find me somebody to love (find me)
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love-ove-ove (ooh, find me, find me somebody to love)
Find me somebody to love (somebody to love)
Find me somebody to love
Somebody (somebody), somebody (somebody)
Somebody (find me), somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love (find me somebody)
Find me somebody to love (somebody, somebody, somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me (find me, find me, find me, find me, find me)
Find me somebody to love (ooh, somebody to love)
Find me somebody to love (ooh, find me, find me, find me somebody to love)
Find me somebody to love (anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love)
I'M SO FUCKING TIRED. EVERY DAY FEELS LIKE I'M DRAGGING A RESPONSIBILITY I WAS NEVER QUALIFIED TO CARRY, AND EVERY DAY I'M CONVINCED I'M DROPPING IT. I LOOK AT MYSELF AND SEE A FAILURE TO MY FRIENDS, TO THE SIGNLESS, TO EVERYBODY WHO EVER EXPECTED SOMETHING BETTER FROM ME. I HATE HOW TERRIFIED I AM OF LOSING PEOPLE. I HATE MYSELF.
BUT THE WORST PART? NONE OF IT MATTERS. I CAN THINK I'M WORTHLESS, I CAN BE ONE BAD DAY AWAY FROM A COMPLETE FUCKING BREAKDOWN, AND I'LL STILL SHOW UP LIKE AN IDIOT. I'LL STILL TAKE THE HIT. I'LL STILL FIGHT FOR THEM. NOT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN MYSELF, BUT BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO.

[HIVE OF HOWLBEASTS]
[verse 1]
I know a thing about ambition, but I’ve got none left to spare
And I admire your volition, but we haven’t got a prayer
Say sing for the Signless, I got nothing left to say
Ancestors marked us failures, I’m ending it today
[pre-chorus]
Well, I think I’m gonna end it all
Everybody burn the hive right down
[chorus]
‘cause here, I will avenge the dead
Say I’m not the leader, I’ll take us to the end
Tell me I’m a bad troll, comin’ for my head
Say I’m not the leader, I’ll take us to the end
[post-chorus]
Knight of Blood, yeah, Knight of Blood
Knight of Blood, yeah, Knight of Blood
Knight of Blood, yeah, Knight of Blood
Knight of Blood, yeah, Knight of Blood
[verse 2]
Found twelve on Alternia, looking high and low
We’re just another set of pawns to fail in Skaia’s glow
I’m waiting for the end of times, I got nothing left to say
I’ll scream until my lungs give out, I’m ending it today
[pre-chorus]
Well, I think I’m gonna end it now
Everybody burn the hive right down
[chorus]
‘cause here, I will avenge the dead
Say I’m not the leader, I’ll take us to the end
Tell me I’m a bad troll, coming for my head
Say I’m not the leader, I’ll take us to the end
[bridge]
We’re gonna fight like Psiionic ‘cause they’re never gonna leave us alone
We’re gonna run like Disciple ‘cause there’s no way they’re letting us go
And as the blood drips in my eyes
I made a promise that I’d keep us alive
I’ve been the worst kind of mutant, go ahead and tell your lusus
Go, go, go
[chorus]
And I say, here, I will avenge the dead
Say I’m not the leader, I’ll take us to the end
Tell me I’m a bad troll, coming for my head
Say I’m not the leader, I’ll take us to the end
[post-chorus]
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad troll
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad troll
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad troll
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad troll

So get up, so get out

[GOOD THINGS LAST FOREVER]
My love, it's been too many 413's and 612's
My love, our banner will cover the entire session
(BRO-AD-WAY KARKAT!)
Give me your hand, come hold me
Come fly with me up through the sky
I raise my glass, I’m soaring proudly
With blood-red colors, hear the faithful cry
Give me your hand, come hold me
Come fly with me up through the sky
I raise my glass, I’m soaring proudly
With blood-red colors, hear the faithful cry
(Ohh, a toast!)
A toast tonight to Sgrub glory
I call my friends, come and celebrate
A winning shout erupts around us
A Knight of Blood ignites the craze
A winning shout erupts around us
A Knight of Blood ignites the craze
(And the leader!)
I am just the leader
In a magic game full of dreams and play
Inside my memory
I dreamed in gold and played with royalty
I’ll take you to infinity
I’ll kiss you in the most beautiful way
Yeah that's so perfect, love, miss you so much
I love you, I truly, really love you
I’ll take you to infinity
I’ll kiss you in the most beautiful way
Yeah that's so perfect, love, miss you so much
I love you, I truly, really love you
(Oh, the wonders)
Kings and queens and pawns fill the pages of our story
Good things last forever
They stay alive inside our memory
There’s ICP
The Condesce, Lord English
Everybody wants to dance
To forget the world is ending
Look at me now, bare all your laughter
It’s Carnival, and it's a disaster
I’m gonna laugh right through destruction
Wash my soul to the rhythm of the drums
(Ooooh!)
Look at me now, bare all your laughter
It’s Carnival, and it's a disaster
I’m gonna laugh right through destruction
Wash my soul to the rhythm of the drums
Give me your hand, come hold me
Come fly with me up through the sky
I raise my glass, I’m soaring proudly
With blood-red colors, hear the faithful cry

I NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BEFORE I COMPLETELY LOSE MY FUCKING MIND OVER IT. I KEEP HAVING THESE DREAMS, AND THEY FEEL TOO REAL, TOO SHARP. AND THE WORST PART IS THEY’RE NOT EVEN FROM MY PERSPECTIVE HALF THE TIME. IT’S LIKE I’M SEEING EVERYTHING THROUGH MY ANCESTOR’S EYES. I CAN FEEL HIS FEAR, HIS EXHAUSTION, THAT CONSTANT SENSE OF BEING HUNTED. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME, IT ENDS WITH DUALSCAR OR THE CONDESCE SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE LIKE TWO GOGDAMN SHADOWS.
DUALSCAR IS THE WORST ONE. HE DOESN’T EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING MOST OF THE TIME, HE JUST STANDS THERE LOOKING AT ME LIKE HE ALREADY KNOWS HOW THE STORY ENDS! AND THE CONDESCE IS SOMEHOW EVEN MORE TERRIFYING BECAUSE SHE FEELS INEVITABLE. LIKE A WALL CLOSING IN SLOWLY WHILE EVERYBODY PRETENDS NOT TO NOTICE. I KEEP WAKING UP FEELING LIKE I’VE BEEN EXECUTED THREE TIMES IN A ROW, AND IT’S STARTING TO BLEED INTO REAL LIFE. I’M TIRED ALL THE TIME, I CAN’T FOCUS, AND EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY FUCKING EYES I EXPECT TO SEE RED WATER AND CHAINS AGAIN. THIS WAS INTERESTING THE FIRST FEW TIMES. NOW IT’S BECOMING A PROBLEM.
SO, THIS IS DIRECTLY FROM THE LORD OF BEFORUS, AS PRESENTED TO ME IN A DREAM. YOU'RE WELCOME FOR MY TRAUMA BEING EASILY ALCHEMIZED INTO A PIECE OF PURE AND UNDILUTED FROM-THE-BLOODPUSHER ART FOR YOUR BENEFIT, IF NOT MINE.

[THE WAVES OF BEFORUS]
And who are you, the proud lord said
That I must bow so low?
Only a troll of a different blood
That’s all the truth I know
In a coat of gold or a coat of red
A seadweller still has claws
And mine are long and sharp, Condesce
As long and sharp as yours
And so he spoke, and so he spoke
That lord of Beforus
But now the waves weep o’er his hall
And not a soul to hear
And who are you, the proud lord said
That I must bow so low?
Only a troll of a different blood
That’s all the truth I know
And so he spoke, and so he spoke
That lord of Beforus
But now the waves weep o’er his hall
And not a soul to hear
And so he spoke, and so he spoke
That lord of Beforus
But now the waves weep o’er his hall
And not a soul to hear
And so he spoke, and so he spoke
That lord of Beforus
But now the waves weep o’er his hall
And not a soul to hear

SIGH… TRUTH TIME. I KIND OF LIKE YOU, NEPETA. NOT IN A *LET’S TURN THIS INTO SOME DRAMATIC MESS* WAY, JUST… YOU’RE EASY TO BE AROUND, AND YOU DON’T MAKE EVERYTHING FEEL LIKE A CONSTANT FUCKING CRISIS, WHICH IS RARE AND INFURIATINGLY NICE. BUT IF YOU START ACTING WEIRD ABOUT IT OR WRITING SOME OVER-THE-TOP SHIPPING MANIFESTO, I’M DENYING THIS EVER HAPPENED AND WALKING STRAIGHT INTO THE NEAREST METEOR. SO JUST. BE NORMAL ABOUT IT. OR AS NORMAL AS YOU CAN FUCKING MANAGE.

LYRICS BELOW THE CUT.
[WANT YOU NOW / WON'T HURT YOU NOW]
[Verse 1: Nepeta]
I keep pacing little circles all around my hive
Reaching for my pesterchum, can’t keep this locked inside
[Pre-Chorus: Nepeta]
And I still don’t know how to let you go
When you’re the only thing I know
[Chorus: Nepeta]
I’m all on my own, losing control and I want you now
Said I’d be stronger, but I don’t know how, I just want you now
And I don’t know how to stop reaching out
I still want you now
[Verse 2: Karkat]
I read all your messages, I don’t know what to say
Every word I type just feels like another mistake
[Pre-Chorus: Nepeta & Karkat]
And I still don’t know how to let you go
[Pre-Chorus: Karkat]
When you’re the one I should let go
[Chorus: Nepeta]
I’m all on my own, losing control and I want you now
Said I’d be stronger, but I don’t know how, I just want you now
And I don’t know how to stop reaching out
I still want you now
Woah-oh
[Bridge: Nepeta]
I guess I’d still answer if you called me at all
[Break: Karkat]
I won’t call
[Chorus: Nepeta]
I’m all on my own, losing all control and I want you now
[Chorus: Karkat]
I act like I don’t need this at all, but I’m losing control and I won’t hurt you now
[Chorus: Nepeta & Karkat]
And I don’t know how to stop reaching out
I still want you now / I won’t hurt you now
[Outro: Nepeta & Karkat]
I still want you now / I won’t hurt you now
It was not Broadwaystuck who reported your self harm, drug, and suicidal vent posts it was a concerned adult who saw you had a lot of child followers.
????? I never vented about those things on @broadway-karkat ??? I did on my main account, NEVER suicidal or self harming but yes celebrating hard-fought drug sobriety for 3+ years. @astrayan was mostly minors DNI anyway so ?????
And I had a lot of child followers? How do you know that when even I don’t?? Do you have the analytics to my old blog to know about my audience??!
If you have information about the termination, please I’m all ears, but not when those are subjects I’ve never even touched in my Broadway Karkat blog in the first place.
Happy 4/13 ! Second Song Cover, I Did This Because I Personally Hated Sexy Kan I. All Voices Are My Own. I Will Also Be Uploading It To Soundcloud. Enjoy!
LYRICS BELOW THE CUT, PARODY OF "ONE MORE LIGHT" BY LINKIN PARK.
[WHO CARES IF MY BLOOD RUNS OUT?]
Should’ve stayed, were there signs I ignored?
Could I help you not to hurt anymore?
We saw meaning in the color they would keep
There are truths that they would bury too deep
If they say
Who cares if my blood runs out?
In a world that would strike it down
In private, private
Who cares when someone cries out loud?
But is buried beneath the sound
Or quiet, quiet
Who cares if my blood runs out?
You won’t
All the echoes in my veins never sleep
Every word like a vow carved in skin, oh
And I’m angry, and I should be, it’s not fair
Just ’cause they deny it doesn’t mean it isn't there
If they say
Who cares if my blood runs out?
In a world that would strike it down
In private, private
Who cares when someone cries out loud?
But is buried beneath the sound
Or quiet, quiet
Who cares if my blood runs out?
You won’t
Who cares if my blood runs out?
In a world that would strike it down
In private, private
Who cares when someone cries out loud?
But is buried beneath the sound
Or quiet, quiet
Who cares if my blood runs out?
What do you intend to accomplish with your callout post?
GETTING THE TRUTH OUT SO I CAN SLEEP A LITTLE EASIER IN MY RECUPERACOON.
AND NOW THAT I GAVE THE EVIDENCE I COULD (EVEN IF OUT OF ORDER) I’LL BE FOCUSING FULLY ON MY ALBUM. SO COPE HARDER AND DEAL WITH IT!
((EDIT: I privated the post with the entire proof for privacy concerns (I couldn’t bear to read it all, that’s emotional labor I don’t need, so I missed censoring possibly identifying information and that’s on me), but it exists. Proof exists. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter.))
