about

So I've been rather down again ^^' I made this song to express how it feels to be looked down upon because of my reaction to stress or sudden downfalls. I pull through, but I do my outmost to find a way to live like an individual rather than an asset to something else, which is something mlp helps me with.

Instrument used:
A teacup made of porcelain
rubberbands
mandolin
eject button
things I probably have forgotten about.

lyrics

The thing on the shelf

I am a thing on the shelf, made of porcelain
Dusty like everything else, like I am meant to be
deep falls by every edge, that might break me
Just me and nobody else, it will always be

Oh, I am a thing on th shelf, dusty and lonely, placed in the darkest of rooms, to keep the sun from me
Made to be pretty and light, now cheap of value, stand where I always must stand, and lose my right to be new
Once I was pretty and fun, I thing of beauty, but then I was dropped on the ground and stripped from duty
Carried by firm and cold hands, they placed me down here, made believe that I’m done, and lose my hope to be free

But I’m not a thing a shelf, made of porcelain
Dusty like everything else, no that won’t do it for me
Steep falls by every edge, but I can make it
Just me and everyone else, like it should really be

I’m not a thing on a shelf, not made of porcelain
Heart wings legs, I can dance, and sing the song of life,
Steep falls by every edge, they won’t break me
I’ll soar, show that I am alive, be what I want to be
