Mk so first off as a heads up. I AM NOT A FURRY. DESPITE THE THUMBNAIL, DESPITE THE STORY ITSELF. NONE OF MY CHARACTERS ARE FURRIES EITHER. I THINK BEING A FURRY IS GROSS AND ICKY AND YUCK YUCK YUCK. IT'S AN ANTHROPORMORPHIC ANIMAL WORLD BUT IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE LIKE OR SEEM LIKE FURRY-STUFF. Ahem, thank you :D THAT ASIDE. This song took forrrrreeeeevvveeerrr. It ALSO marks the end of my free V4, sad. So there's a good chance I'll upload less often from here on out until V4 becomes free, though I plan to keep lurking in the comments and you never know! Maybe I'll make a V3 song I like enough to post (or I'll cave and give Suno money-) Anyway, this is a character named Theo singing! Though the song itself is in a state of questionable canonicity since it's a story beat that might not even end up in the actual book. Still! Kinda just felt like doing this! [Verse 1- Casual] I swear no one ever listens to me. But I guess that's okay. Who cares if I'm never taken seriously? I'll just say it's better this way. [Chorus-] (After all...) I'm a joke, I'm the dolt, and my mind's missing parts, Wherever I go I bring calamity. So just let me sit in the broken shards, Of my tattered shattered sanity. [Verse 2- Calmer, introspection, dismissive at end, casual, relaxed] Why don't they ever say "Take it easy on him"? [Insecure] (In the end, I'm just a dumb kid.) Oh forget it, I shouldn't be so grim. (With all my tricks and antics, I guess I wanted this.) [Chorus- Theatrical, joking] (After all...) I'm a joke, I'm the dolt, and my mind's missing parts, Wherever I go I bring calamity. So just let me sit in the broken shards, Of my battered shattered sanity. [Slow insane laugh] [Verse 3- Denial, manic] Of course I hear all the slander. [Crowd shouting] ("Prince of Vanity!") And I know they ruin my name. [Crowd shouting] ("Lord of Audacity!") Yeah, the lies are just getting grander. [Crowd shouting] ("Child of Tragedy!") But let me pretend it's only a game. [Crowd shouting] ("Face of Insanity!") [Chorus- Slow to fast] (After all...) I'm a joke, I'm the dolt, and my mind's missing parts, Wherever I go I bring calamity. So just let me sit in the broken shards, Of my tattered shattered sanity. [Bridge- Sincere, honest, upset, desperate, loss of control, emotional] And I don't mean my family and friends. I'm talking about all those little loose ends. (Not even the villains. It's the civilians.) They treat me as if I'm cursed, Like I'm just the absolute worst. (Yeah the hate is pretty overt.) Yet they all demand to be saved! I'm the hero that's been enslaved. [Shouted, crying, desperate] (I didn't mean to sign my life away!) [Muffled] (But whatever.) [Chorus-] (After all...) I'm a joke, I'm the dolt, and my mind's missing parts, Wherever I go I bring calamity. (I fail laughably!) So just let me sit in the broken shards, Of my battered shattered, sanity.
