Krystal Evette - I'm Still Here

Copied!

(Verse One)
Now that you’re gone
There’s a hole in my heart
You love it cuz you play
With body parts
And you stir up my brain
Then ask me the question
“Bitch, are you okay?”
No
You left me alone
It’s like pulling out teeth
To be on your phone
To be in your life
I’d change myself
If I was your wife
But I’m squeezing the knife
(Pre Chorus)
Don’t wanna date me
Say that you hate me
You would hold me
Just to break me

(Chorus)
Push
Break
No give
Just take
Turned on your sad eyes
Cuz your smile was a pill
Was it all a placebo
Or was I just that ill?
You don’t love
You just hate
You’re a hunter
I took the bait
You said I’d be your favorite corpse
Now I’m just someone out the door

(Verse Two)
I hope you come back
Please return my soul
‘Stead of giving myself
Say I’m just a hole
These figures, no faces
Dick me down then leave
Adrenaline rush
Cuz it’s helping me grieve
Don’t stop
They say “drop it, that shit’s hot”
On my knees or on all fours
Wanna get him off his rocks
(Pre Chorus)
Don’t wanna date me
Say that you hate me
You’d hold me close
You’re just trying to break me
Don’t want me to leave
Wore it on your sleeve
Those false promises
You’re just trying to tame me

(Break)
Look how well that worked out for you

(Chorus)
Push
Break
No give
Just take
Turned on your sad eyes
Cuz your smile was a pill
Was it all a placebo
Or was I just that ill?
You don’t love
You just hate
You’re a hunter
I took the bait
You said I’d be your favorite corpse
Now I’m just someone out the door
(Bridge)
You’re ripping out my lungs
Cuz you say that you can’t breathe
You took away my smile
Yours was down too far beneath
You ripped out my intestines
And you knotted up my noose
You threw your weakest threats
Scared because I know the truth
You’re ripping out my lungs
Cuz you say that you can’t breathe
You took away my smile
Yours was down too far beneath
You ripped out my intestines
And you knotted up my noose
You threw your weakest threats
Scared because I know the truth

(Chorus)
Push
Break
No give
Just take
Turned on your sad eyes
Cuz your smile was a pill
Was it all a placebo
Or was I just that ill?
You don’t love
You just hate
You’re a hunter
I took the bait
You said I’d be your favorite corpse
Now I’m just someone out the door

(Outro)
You almost took my life
But, fuck you, I’m still here

Biography

edit bio

Krystal Amethyst Evette, born December 1, 1997, is a trans artist from Youngstown, Ohio. She started writing poetry in middle school. The dark subject matter would get her called into the guidance councilor’s office frequently. When she started high school, she was outed as gay. Once the “big secret” was finally out, she began to experiment with her style and gender identity, She started using she/her pronouns at 16. It was also around this time she made the shift from poetry to music.

She released her first album “Bones” when she was 17 years old in her senior year of high school. The following EP’s “Nothing” and “Roadkill”, containing unreleased songs from “Bones” as well as other new material were released in 2016 while she was still in high school. After graduation, she began work on her second album “Underworld”. However, a few months later, she was sexually assaulted by a classmate and his friend. After this, she scrapped what she had for “Underworld” and decided to rewrite it based on her experiences following high school including the events that occurred after the assault. In November of 2018, “Underworld” was released and she was back into the full swing of making music. Not even two months later, she released the first single off her next EP “Expectations” titled “Resolutions”. “Expectations” was a collection of songs that were social commentaries about the world at the time.

In February of 2020, she released one of her most acclaimed EP’s titled “Fetish”. With an A-side / B-side concept, “Fetish” explored Krystal’s love life and the fetishization of trans women and how all she wanted was to be loved. Originally, Krystal intended to release an EP about the pandemic. However, after two singles (“Quarantine” and “Don’t Trust The Government”), the project was scrapped. Instead, in April of 2020, she began the writing process for her third album “Grey”. While writing “Grey”, Krystal started to work on a new EP, “Petty”, which took a completely different direction than her previous work. For the first time, she wanted to make fun music for the sake of making fun music. Though with struggles in her personal life, she later stated towards the end of writing “Petty”, it began to feel like a lie. Once it was released in June, she released a few one off singles that summer while she was finishing up “Grey”. Two previously unreleased songs as well as one new one, In August of 2021, she finished writing the album and in December of 2021, she finally released it.

Prior to the release, she had begun work on her next EP titled “Obsessed”. Capturing the toxic mindset that she had while in a toxic situation, she looks back at the songs and describes them as “being under hypnosis”. Krystal originally didn’t want to release the EP in fear of making it feel like the toxic mindset was okay. However, released it out of the blue explaining “not releasing this would be like pretending this part of my life didn’t happen”. Though unfinished, she released what she had for the EP and never looked back. After the falling out of the abusive situation, Krystal was in a dangerously dark place. And in August of 2022, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital – the same one where the root of this toxic situation started. However, within her four day stay, she wrote nine songs completely unexpectedly and unexplained. And with that, she began writing her next album “Agony”.

Still incredibly wounded and in the thick of the healing process, she was afraid to even take the songs off paper. So, for months, she just wrote. In late 2022, she released a 3 track single titled “Gimme A Minute”. Dipping her toes back into making and releasing music, she started to ease her way back into recording. In January 2023, she released the first single and the opening track to “Agony” titled “I’m Still Here” as her reclaiming her power. She slowly continued to record the album. Confronting and saying these things out loud was extremely challenging and painful. But, in May of 2023, “Agony” was released. That summer, she got a breast augmentation and began playing life shows opening for Cupcakke. She is currently working on her fifth album titled “REVENGE” which is one half of a two album follow up to “Agony”. With SRS in September and “REVENGE” in the air, Krystal is ready to conquer the world.
