LYRICS:

Once there was red.
A nervous rose took root and slowly spread
It’s scarlet blossoms set my cheeks aflame
At the mention of your name.
And once there was blue.
An icy ache exhausting to subdue
Cold indigo that mocked my empty arms
Would that red had stronger charms.
Is meagre joy for sorrow numbed a terribly high cost?
If no one cares you’re missing are you even lost?
Or are you nothing?

Once there was green
The jealousy that I would pass unseen
While others seemed to captivate the eye
And not even have to try.
Once there was pink
My blushing musings metered out in ink
Each letter steeped in mortifying need
I would pray you’d want to read
My battles weren’t important if I helped you win your wars
If I was someone when you needed me and no one if not yours
Was I just nothing?
Nothing is better than yearning.
Nothing

Once there was gold
The rich assumption grief could be controlled
Gilded gauze may glimmer and conceal
But the wound beneath won’t heal
And once there was rust
Silver linings tarnished without trust
Marred by my indifferent admired
And My God hope makes you tired
I let you walk upon me in a childish conceit
That one day you would see my care and help me to my feet
But all for nothing
Ground by thankless steps into nothing.
Nothing
When did sweetness fly my cup and leave it bitter black?
Wouldn’t it be easier to take a different tack?
And taste nothing
Play mother with a potful
Of nothing

Once there was a rainbow
A vibrant spectrum traded to let pain go
When faith gave graceless way to destined doubt
All the pigment petered out
I never asked for everything, I begged a lone demand
And still guilt stained that single wish for one who’d hold my hand
So:
If none will share their palette I accept my ashen pall
If no one wants to love you, why feel anything at all?
Just feel nothing.
Nothing is better than hurting.
Nothing.
If I never meant what you did to me
Then it’s better and kinder and safer to be:
Nothing (x5)

Music of the Fears

13. Nothing - A Song for The Lonely

In honor of fifty years with Doctor Who (and the incredible fiftieth anniversary episode.)

Special thanks to my lovely little sis, who played the clarinet!
•••
We are something you cannot recall, just on the tip of your tongue
just a moment lost in the fabric of everything, all space and time and the war that you’ve won
and you tried to forget us, you had too, we guess, and Doctor, you tried to move on
but time gets rewritten, and as for the rest: forgotten, but never gone.

We are two billion children you counted, one death at a time
and we hung there over your head and your heart, your forgotten crime
and you needed to forget us, but you never could, no Doctor, you never moved on
and time got rewritten, now it’s as it should be: never forgotten, and no longer gone.

We are Gallifrey, Gallifrey is our home
we will light the way, guide the way when you roam
we are not lost, but just misplaced
we are your most familiar face
we are Gallifrey, Gallifrey, home.

We are golden and older than time itself, older with each passing day
lying locked in the ticking of clocks after you lit the skies of poor Gallifrey
and your heart grew so heavy, with each dying scream, and you knew you could never go on
but now that you’re ready, you’ve faced the dark past, it’s time to right your worst wrong.

We are everything you ever knew, every last thing that you are
and now we are painted both of your hearts, shining bright as the stars
and you’ll never forget us, and we won’t forget you, and now as the time’s moving on
come home, oh Doctor, to where you belong, where the things that are gone are not truly gone

We are Gallifrey, Gallifrey is our home
we will light the way, guide the way when you roam
we are not lost, but just misplaced
we are your most familiar face
we are Gallifrey, Gallifrey, home.

Kingdoms Divided (from Fall Of An Empire)

Die Anywhere Else (NITW)

Die Anywhere Else (NITW)[MandoPony]

Had this idea ever since hearing The Adventure Zone's Crystal Kingdom arc – the crinkle tinkle song but in the style of folk music! The style of this cover is inspired by shapenote singing, traditional American hymns, and Appalachian folk songs. 

Original song by Griffin McElroy.
