Submit: Lyrics (Sober)
The theme for Week 219 is Sober by Pink. You may submit two different CLAMP icons (but only one can be from a popular series, see below*) provided they both feature at least three consecutive words from the following lyrics.
*NOTE: If you are submitting two entries, then at least one of your icons must only feature imagery from an under-represented series. Check this post for a list of such titles, some gallery links and more information.
Sober
Pink
I don't wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don't wanna be that call at four o'clock in the morning
'Cause I'm the only one you know in the world that won't be home
Aahh, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oohh, I am finding
That's not the way I want my story to end
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?
I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence...
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
When I won't remember, save your breath, 'cause what's the use?
Aahh, the night is calling
And it whispers to me softly, "come and play"
Aahh, I am falling
And if I let myself go, I'm the only one to blame
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
Comin' down
Comin' down
Comin' down
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
I'm looking for myself.. Sober
Comin' down
Comin' down
Comin' down
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Looking for myself.. Sober
When it's good, then it's good, it's so good, 'till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry
Never again
Broken down in agony
And just trying to find a friend
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
[repeat]
How do I feel this good sober?
The order counts for the first three words, but afterwards you can take a bit more liberty with the lyrics. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation or letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text into your icon, though you may use tinytext/brushes provided they're purely decorative and not legiable. Try to keep the required text as readable as possible and remember to check your spelling/wording before submitting as it's easy to make an error.
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for January's Submitter of the Month contest.
Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon, url, series and character names (or object/location description instead, if applicable). Also include any additional information and/or specific resource credits that you may have used.
