i was humming off danandphilbeats lazy saturday and it occurred to me that it would be a sick beat to rap to. (i have never rapped before). and, uh. <3
(↑yewchube for views) also why is this the best keys solo i've done in my life
lyrics under readmore bc fuck knows i'm lyric blind at least (look at my double entendres boy):
paying bills with creativity is never quite the same
tear your soul apart and sell it to a demon known as fame
being thrust into the limelight, a martyr-turned-saint
we all want the sacrifice but no one wants the pain
o, holy, patron saint of the gaze
that we cast upon you, where we choose to erase
all that splits you in two—no longer abstruse
when we raze what we choose—until we relate to the
things that you do and the words that you say,
to the people you are - why, it’s better this way!
you can make no mistakes, you are toys for our play
we’ll give you our money for your lives as our pay
come change the precedent, come change the game
come change the meaning of love once again
don’t be so reticent, don’t be ashamed
we know what you’re feeling, we know everything
amen, two men, why’d i care about them?
were they my paper dolls, my imaginary friends?
well i loved them as a girl, now i love them as a man
open up can-a-di-can
i’m not a rapper, i’m a poet
so lemme pick these seeds of words and maybe then i’ll sow it
keep it down to earth with the way i’m hoein’ round
i’ve planted my ideas, now it’s time to break it down
[sick fl studio pack whirley solo break]
died for our sins, from our sins you arise
only truth in lion’s being part of a pride
this was not an accident, just a surprise
that we’ve never been alone when we’re different inside
trials and tribulations, you’ve bestowed us exaltations
more precious than all riches, you have given us hope
that has pulled us through the night, found us warmth, gave us light, even
living as an adult, when i find the need to cope, i’ll be
can i admit i find it really really funny that the dnp AO3 tag is still 'phandom/the fantastic foursome' when it feels like fantastic foursome was a thing for about 3 minutes roughly one hundred lifetimes ago. like i promise u that no longer has the relevance to be the main ao3 tag
this was actually explained to me by someone who was a tag wrangler for ao3 in the early days - it was basically the loophole to stop dan and phil from getting absorbed into the overall video blogging rpf tag! most ships (so just two people) don't have their own fandom tag at all. you can even see that if someone tags a fic like 'septiplier - fandom' that isn't a real tag, clicking it just takes you to video blogging rpf. the fandom tags are reservered for groups so... if we want to keep a unique dan and phil tag at all, we probably have to stick with phantastic foursome.
(unless there's a phannie out there in the tag wrangling group that wants to fight for us again.)
