Filk: Breaking Out Is Hard To Do

[quarridors]

I'm just fresh from the stage performing a newly written filk at Con2c3rto (the 23rd annual UK Filk Convention). I've had song writer's block for a year but sitting in on wonderful music sung in German seemed to shake loose the lyric writing parts of my brain :)

I'm really pleased with how this turned out, and that I've finally written filk about my dearest and most personal fandom...

Breaking Out Is Hard To Do

First you're sleeping, then you're drowning
It's a nightmare dream come true
And all their voices flood your conscious hours
Breaking out is hard to do!

All these feelings can be daunting
All this madness you go through
First you're running, next you're jaunting!
Breaking out is hard to do!

You always felt that you were different
Can't explain it but you knew
And now you're doing things that no man can!
Breaking out is hard to do!
Breaking out is hard to do!

And the world is filled with violence
But that's a barrier for you
Just want to hide and find some silence!
But breaking out is hard to do!

With your anguish you have called us
Someone who shares your point of view
You know our names, we know the way it feels
How breaking out is hard to do
Breaking out is hard to do

But don't be scared we hold the answer
You're the next step kid, it's true
We're the dawning of tomorrow's world!
Where breaking out's just what you do!

Now when this world is out of order
And they're taking sides in the Green and Blue
We're the one's who find another way!
We'll use our minds, we'll keep the mob at bay!
We'll keep the peace until that better day!
Where breaking out's just what you do!
Breaking out's what people do!
Tomorrow People me and you!
