Cradles by Suburban
Featuring: Vocal and Instrument (Lincoln Loud)
Current Loud-Verse: Unknown (Somewhat related to the fanfic: A Bit Dramatic for my Taste by Samtastic 3.0)
AN: Lincoln is doing a solo using only forks, glasses & water (Makeshift Xylophone), electronic piano, a wooden drumstick, wooden beat box and a recorded kalimba. The room is modified for this song and the camera is adjusted. The platform that might be used for this is either TikTok or YouTube. If you get bored in quarantine, you can do something like this. The Loud sisters and parents are downstairs doing their own thing… until they come to hear this and they will listen to the song. Since Lincoln had the ability to "break the 4th wall" I feel this song is so appropriate. This is a bit of a mix of Fin Draper's cover and the Original version of this song. Without further ado, leave a like, review/request, follow and I hope you enjoy. God Bless, Stay Safe and Peace/Shalom!
-Music Start: Kalimba Intro-
[Verse 1: Lincoln]
I live inside my own world of make-believe
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
I see the world through eyes covered
In ink and bleach
Cross out the ones who heard my cries
And watched me weep
[Chorus: Lincoln]
I love everything
Fire's spreading all around
My room
My world so bright
It's hard to breath
But that's alright, hush…
(Instrumental Interlude)
Shh..
[Verse 2: Lincoln]
Tape my eyes open to force reality
Why can't you just let me eat my weight in glee
I live inside my own world of make-believe
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days
Sometimes I can't tell if my body belongs to me
[Chorus: Lincoln]
I love everything
Fire's spreading all around
My room
My world so bright
It's hard to breath
But that's alright, hush…
(Instrumental Interlude)
Shh..
[Verse 3: Lincoln]
I wanna taste your content
Hold your breath and feel the tension
Devils hide behind redemption
Honesty is one-way gate to he…
I wanna taste consumption
Breathe faster to waste oxygen
Hear the children sing aloud
It's music 'til the wick burns out, hush
(Instrumental Interlude)
[Outro: Lincoln]
Just wanna be carefree lately, yeah
Just kicking up daisies
Got one too many quarters in my pockets
Count 'em like four-leaf clovers in my locket
Untied laces, yeah
Just tripping on daydreams
Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat
Might as well just rot around the nursery
And count sheep.
-Music End-
After hearing Lincoln finished, Lori ordered a sibling meeting on what exactly they just heard. Lucy got a bit excited, thinking Lincoln is becoming like a goth but Lori digressed and told her of something way worse. Lucy frowned the idea of her own brother taking his life while the others tried to device a way for Lincoln to have his "depression" healed and started plan "Lincoln House" where they will do whatever it takes for Lincoln to feel appreciated and loved. Meanwhile the boy finished having edits in his recording and sent it to me online. Yeah, it was my idea to know if Lincoln would be qualified for a singing contest or the artistic industry (painting, poetry, music, psalms, photography, etc.) Well it's going to be their misunderstanding but in a good way, at least.
PiroBal: This song is full of meaning and feelings. I wonder if the host and manager would accept the boy… only one way to find out. Time to send.
-END-
AN: I bet you know the twist will go. Yeah, this is yet one of those "save Lincoln from depression/suicide" Fanfic chapter. I've always thought of it as a compelling melodrama fanfic. Lincoln is such a "self-insert" main character, especially since he can look through "the 4th Wall" that it can't be help if the author always relate to the character. Oh and this is from a Loud-Verse that has a different timeflow so that's one reason why Lori is still living with her siblings. Unlike some other dimensions, some had Lori staying and having a different career path than Fairway University. Meaning some of them she gave up the golfing career and took other profession (such as accounting and business management). And yes, that may also involve… I don't wanna say it… sigh, the Loudcest dimension. Oh, the pain of mentioning that…
