Submit: Week 312
The themes for Week 312 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available here for your convenience.
General: Script Fonts
You must use at least one script font (typefaces designed to look like handwritting) on your icon. You can find a good selection of such fonts available for free download at DaFont.com under the designated area. Text written in other typographic styles are allowed to be included, as long as it doesn't take focus away from the actual script one.

Lyrics: Torn
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) or vice versa. You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible.
Torn
Natalie Imbruglia
I thought, I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn't be that man that I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
The conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn
[chorus]
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now, I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn
[chorus]
Torn
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn...
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for January's Submitter of the Month contest, last chance, as well as a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.
