Bigger Problems
This... would take a lot of singers to pull off. It's also one of those songs that really makes me hate FFN's lack of paragraph indentation. Seriously, italics and bolding can only do so much.
Anyway... happy 4/13! I am still incredibly behind on Homestuck (I'm still in A5A2, even!) so I haven't read the update, but I can still enjoy the day all the same. Maybe I'll catch up on time for 6/12?
Much thanks to Seal of Doom for reviewing! (Squeeee!)
JOHN: It was a game to us, but also something more...
A chance to see some friends we knew as text and voices
It seemed like something new; we didn't know what could have been in store
Or what would come of all our smallest choices...
ROSE: They were my only friends, cliched as that may sound,
Besides my mother whom I never understood
As different as we were, it seemed we might have found some common ground,
And with the sorrows came a little good...
BOTH: But now this game has gone too far, the darkness rises...
And in a new world we were bound for some surprises
JOHN: The problem's bigger than we'd ever realize
ROSE: But we will still be friends, come hell or stormy skies...
DAVE: I guess that I was just a kid beneath it all,
Still needed someone to be friends and have my back
At least these guys will pick me up no matter how far I may fall
And I can get them back on track...
JADE: My home was never more than house and land and sea...
And dogs are great, but they can't hold a conversation...
Three kids I knew online sent me a game I knew would set me free
As bad as it looks, I'm still filled with elation...
JADE AND DAVE: But now this game has gone too far, the darkness rises
And in a new world we were bound for some surprises
JADE: The problem's bigger than our session or us four...
DAVE: Because our game was rigged and rotten to the core...
ALL FOUR: And there was always something more...
KARKAT: I'm just going to say it now - we all fucked up, big-time.
And I was probably worst of all, in either universe
We all were screwed from the moment we emerged from cosmic slime
But I went and ran that stupid curse...
TEREZI: I had a role to play, but didn't quite fulfill it...
Though nothing I could do would really change the end...
The coolkid has his tables, rewrites the events as he sees fit
But this mess even he can't possibly mend...
KARKAT AND TEREZI: This game was nothing but a failure and a bust
And by the final hours, none had any trust...
TEREZI : This problem reached between two worlds and one disaster
KARKAT: As if we'd ever get a "happily ever after"...
KANAYA: When I found that old guide, I idolized the writer
The story was a daunting one I thought I could play out
I guess I've found her now, though I wished so long to only spite her
But neither of us knew what this was about...
VRISKA: This chaos puts the greater story in perspective...
I barely knew what I was doing, in the end...
While my old friend was running off to play detective
I guess we all forgot that games are meant to be pretend...
KANAYA AND VRISKA: This game was nothing but a failure and bust
And in the final hours, none had any trust...
KANAYA: This problem's bigger still, but maybe one that we can fix...
VRISKA: I guess it's serious - no time left here for games or tricks...
KARKAT, TEREZI, KANAYA, VRISKA: But what if there's still something more?
VRISKA: This game was nothing but a failure and a bust... (TEREZI: Or was it...?)
ROSE: And what's the point in playing fair if there's no trust? (JOHN: Because it's only right...)
DAVE: Our sessions all were rigged and rotten to the core... (JADE: And yet we found a way...)
KARKAT: This problem's the biggest yet, god help us if there's more... (KANAYA: Let's hope not...)
ALL: We still found bigger problems...
We still found bigger...
We still found...
We still...
We...
JOHN: We might have bigger problems after all...
