Okay, I play a character in an original roleplay who is in a gothic band. I have to be the lyricsist in my roleplay, so I wanted to share the lyrics for "Shards of Self"'s self-titled song. It's very awkward, I cowrote it with Drear, and is probably not a great piece. It's copyright to Nicole Walters and Blair Armitage.

Just for background, the brother Ember (the singer and the one I play) mentions was her twin brother who died of leukemia. The second verse also refers to her parents, but the last verse refers to December.

Shards of Self as a roleplay band contain three people. Cindy Kingston (known as Circe), 16 years old, Candy Olsen (known as Ember), 17 years old, and Kate Lyre (known as December) 18 years old.

Yes, our roleplay has some very extensive planning behind it. ^^ If anyone is interested in joining our roleplay on LiveJournal.com, PM me.

Finally, the lyrics for "Shards of Self".

"Brother, you died but I'm still here
Everyone said I must be brave
Facing my fears without you here
Standing by your solemn grave

Mother, we never really understood
Each other and the way things work
I knew you never really loved
We'll never know what it's worth

Chorus:
This broken heart will never mend,
so never shall I breathe again
The shards of myself are falling now
I know I'll never work out how

Lover, the fights we always had
Ripping us apart every day
Now it's too late and always too bad
We'll never find another way

Chorus

My broken heart will never mend, (this pain will never ever end)
so never shall I breathe again (my blood here an endless stain)
The shards of myself are falling now (shatter as I hit the ground)
I know I'll never work out how (this is the end I'm gone I'm falling now....)"
