This has been in the works for... I forget how long lol ^^;
Cadie, I appreciate your patience~

A song about Sunset Shimmer leaving Celestia because the princess kept her from leaving her studies and exploring friendship through experience.
It's my personal headcanon x3

And I'm singing again. Parents, hide your kids. Kids, hide your parents.

Joking aside, I'm not sure how I feel about my vocals in this one, but I can't do it any better for this one, so I hope y'all like it!

Mega thanks to Cadie for lending me her fantastic voice~

Lyrics:
I spend my days just reading
The words go 'round my head
She says this will help me learn
Reading, practice, then I read again

Is this track all my life is?
One path; and where's it led?
It's all a great-big spiral
A never-ending thread~

Repeating the past; the lessons, the studying
Stuck in this routine, the days are all blurring
Never have a chance to test myself out in the world
To bring the light and fire to the dark and the cold

Today I found a doorway to a very different place
Such a strange new world but this may be my best escape

Finally, a chance to cast aside this fate I'm living
A new shimmer of light to build myself the way I vision!

Running from the past; the lessons, the studying
Stuck in the routine, the days begin blurring
Never with a chance to test myself out in the world
To bring the light and fire to the dark and the cold

Who wouldn't seize this opportunity, it's not a mutiny
When I'm trying to get away from living under this scrutiny
Freedom is new to me; nothing's holding me back
From taking my fate straight into my hooves, fold it in half

And carry it in my pocket, now it's time I embark
Through the mirror, a new story; and I'll be writing the start
Anyone who wants to follow: find the gate that I walked through
And see my new domain; they call it Canterlot High School~

So long to the past; the lessons, the studying
Outside the box, every day now has worth to me
Taking my chance to test myself out in the world
To bring the light and fire to the dark and the cold

I'm sorry, princess. I'll see you again someday
But now, there's adventure out there, it's calling my name
You won't understand this, but I need to try
I'll take the consequences if it means I get my own life~


(BronyCon was excellent, by the way! I'm already posting pictures on my Twitter~)


Enjoy, ponies!
