My my, how time gets away from us.
I released the album containing this song to bandcamp in April last year. I'm trying my best to not have any songs still needing to be put on youtube a year after the album released. We'll see how we go...

This song is somewhat of a prequel to the Wanting/Knowing story, and tells the backstory of the royal sisters of that AU, hopefully giving a little insight into why that Celestia is so cold in the main story.

I hope that one day she can feel better.

Lyrics:


C     B/C     Am     C
A second sister unwanted,
Unwanted by me, unplanned by them
You leeched the magic as you grew,
Of the parents you barely knew.

And as they faded they made me swear,
Treat your sister with love and care,
If you ever need us we’re in her,
Which just makes looking at you hurt.

C   Am     F     I hate what you’ve made me do,
C   Am     F     G     And what you’ve turned me into,
C     F
A part of me is now locked away,     C     Am     F
And I hate that it’s all because of you.


The years pass it sets in,
The forced smiles and fake grins,
I raise the sun, you ask me why,
Without you they’d still be alive.

This rebellion of yours could never win,
You don’t know the tide I’m holding in,
You plead to me but it’s no use,
I’ve just been waiting for an excuse,

C     F
And they will ask where you have gone,
Am     G
And I’ll tell stories of nightmare moon,
That you were jealous of the light I shone,
That the villain here was you
