Mic Check, Please! track #8: "it started here"
After 10 months (oops), the FINAL track is here!! Fun fact, this was actually the first song I wrote for this back in 2020, before I planned on writing any other ones. It was also the first full song I had written in at least 3 years at the time!
Song Art by @watermelonmountaindew <3
Mixing by my brother Alec Ferris (check out his music!)
Lyrics under the cut!
(Verse 1)
When I was younger
All I wanted was the crown
My father wore atop his head
I swore I’d never let him down
But look at me now
(Chorus 1)
Cause every dragon that I slayed
Was another pill to take
And every smile he shot my way
It wasn’t enough, it was never enough
Maybe I was never enough
(Verse 2)
Expectations
It was all part of the game
That I loved with all my heart
Still it broke me all the same
They only loved me for my name
(Chorus 2)
All those walls that I built up
Just to keep from crashing down
No one tried to break me out
They didn’t care, no they didn’t care
to show me how
Until you came around
(Bridge)
A rocky start when it began
I thought I couldn’t let you in
You saw right through the mask I wore
You changed my world, you unlocked the door
You ended my own inner war
(Chorus 3)
Was punished for all that I’d done
For all the wars I could’ve won
And all those ways that I’d fucked up
But you didn’t care, no you didn’t care
You showed me love
(Ending verse)
I was waiting for my life to start
After all that I’d gone through
But now I know straight from the heart
It started here, it started with you
It started with you.

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"
