Verse 1: three years I've been at Easton, yeah? Three years I've pinned everything on this place. I'm proper draggin' myself out of bed every morning just to get by, but... this school, it's where I've got all my plans stashed

Pre-chorus: I knew one day I'd be doin' my last day, but it's comin' way too quick, like someone's tipped the hourglass right over. And at Easton, anyone can make summat of themselves if they've got a bit of talent

Chorus: Them busy roads outside school, they never stop, do they? Just... take a chance on Easton College or whatever and you'll be dancin' to a different tune. My hourglass is down to the last grain now and I'm sat here thinkin' my legacy's just gonna, like, cease to exist

Verse 2: Stacks of paperwork, it's like a proper ring of fire, every new sheet and the flames go higher, but I'm walkin' the line, I am. Yeah, I'll admit it, I've made mistakes, big ones, but I'm leavin' the reins out, yeah, for the next legend to craving the bind together

Chorus 2: The kitchen needs a rebuild, it's a hunk of junk! Give it a paint job, patch up the walls and it'll work like a champ. New overhead cupboards and four new shelves and chrome extractor fans and it'll be cookin' lightning

Bridge: I still wanna decide when my time runs out, yeah? Tryna keep it free, free and easy. Give me freedom, that's a must. Let me feel the floor spin and light up the stage even if it's rainin'. All the kids at this school, we just do what we love most, all of us, singin' loud enough so the sun and that big moon can hear us.

Verse 1 They taught us to always be loyal But what do those words really mean When my hourglass is running out Piles of college work tucked in my bag Soon it’ll be time to give a salute As they read off classmates’ names For the ones who ain't comin' back

Pre-Chorus Ready to rock, all of the college ready to rock Ready to roll out onto a new campus It’s killing me slowly As my hourglass is getting low

Chorus Some days, I want to just scream Break down and cry In distraught I could never give up the reins I had a hold to keep the college together Overseas, and ashore I'm gathering up another broken ID card

Verse 2 Ran through the mud and rain Telling the students legacies of those that left 'Til someday they remember me Ah-ah-aya Showing the best of what I can do, strumming guitars Never alone 'cause Easton College is my home

Chorus Jumping the banisters, sliding down like a skateboard Flying just like a bird, climbing railings so high Just to jump down when I need oxygen I just want to live my life And party in the college I call home To be free and rock my body

Verse 3 After I’m gone, the college is getting major maintenance New kitchens, new cafeteria Any fear in my soul, I'm letting go And anyone who asks, I'm letting them know The Easton spirit’s in their hearts Ring a bell, ring a bell for the whole crowd

Bridge I'm just tryna show visitors everything Luxurious in the college and how it goes down No one controls us, we're strong and we're fast Just hold on to the reins, don't go anywhere No more waitin' tonight

My hourglass runs out on July 9th, yeah? And so what? Just ‘cause most students have given up hope with Easton doesn’t mean I have!

When my mum took an overdose, who got me therapy, eh? The college did. When I had surgery and could barely walk the halls, who helped me round college every day? The college did!

That’s why I don’t give up! That’s why I’m still standin’ here fightin’ everyone! You don’t get to write it off just ‘cause you’re done with it. I’m not done. I’m never done!

on monday i've got to do a presentation in english and this is what i done

i'm hoping this project to be finished before july 20th or august 17th

Performed by Violet, Max, Jack

Setting: Violet's room. Age 18+ content, themes of abuse & resistance.

[Verse 1 - Violet]

(pacing around her room, fists clenched) You swore you wouldn't come back, said that to my face But here you are again, invadin' all my space I'm not your doll to pose, not your work of art I won't take another hit that tears me apart

[Verse 2 - Max]

(steps toward her, grabbing her wrist forcefully) You say you're done but you know you crave the fight Twist it all around, say I’m what keeps you up at night I thought I owned you — that lie was wearing thin You got hooked on the chaos we were livin' in

[Pre-Chorus - Violet]

(breaks free, shoves him into the wall, breath heavy) You don’t own me, I’m not a toy on your shelf Not something you show off to boost yourself Don't tell me what to do, don’t tell me what to say I won't be put on display, not today

[Chorus - Violet]

(stands center room, pointing at him) Our past does not define me, my past is not today I'm not your secret to keep, so don't you come my way You called it love but it was control in disguise I’m cutting all the strings, I’m done with your lies

[Verse 3 - Max]

(shoves Violet back toward the windowsill, reaches for the curtain tie) Don’t try to change me, you know you like my games Said you wanted this fire, now you’re calling out my name I wanted chains, I wanted you tied down But you’re not the girl I knew from that old town

[Bridge - Violet]

(kicks free, spins him and pins him against the wall) I’m not your shadow, I’m not your mistake Every scar that you gave me only made me awake Call me poison if you want — I’m done being your muse You won’t dim this light, I’ve got nothing to lose

[Verse 4 - Max]

(swings, pins Violet to the bed, voice low) I know you’re trouble, but I can’t stay away Said you’d be a star, thought you’d beg me to stay So far beyond done, but I still crave the fight One more night of this war under city light

[Breakdown - Jack]

(door bursts open, Jack runs in, roundhouse kicks Max off Violet) Get your hands off my daughter, you don’t speak her name Kindness ain’t my brand when I’m lookin’ at your shame For once do something right — leave, don’t return You’ve already caused enough for her heart to unlearn

[Verse 5 - Max]

(staggers up, wipes blood from his mouth, sneering)

She could learn a thing or two, you should be proud

Don’t you twist this around, say it too damn loud

(Police sirens rise. Max is cuffed. Violet runs to Jack, hugs him tight)

[Outro - Violet & Jack]

(Violet in Jack’s arms, both center stage, lights dim)

Violet: I’m not your bed toy, I’m not your claim to fame

Scars & Sparks" — 18+ Version

Charlie: 18, pyromaniac, high-spirited, creative, complex

Millie: 17, self-harm, Charlie’s sister, calm, gentle, nervous

Setting: Charlie’s bedroom, late night

Verse 1 — Charlie

(Pacing around her room, fingers drumming on the walls. She stops, crouches, picks up a Zippo from the floor)

Charlie: I keep chasin’ a high that won’t fuckin’ land Sparks of fire lick the floorboards where I stand (flicks lighter, flame dances) Every exit’s smoke, every breath’s a dare And I’m too far in to pretend I care

Verse 2 — Millie

(Steps in fast, grabs the lighter mid-flick, shuts it. Her hands tremble) Millie: On the surface you’re chaos, but you’re still my sister I should’ve thrown the razors out, should’ve fought harder (tugs sleeve down over wrist) I try to keep it quiet, keep the bloodstains hid But my scars talk louder than anything I did

Pre-Chorus — Charlie

(Sits on the edge of her desk, pulls Millie close, holds her hands tight)

Charlie: I’ve played with fire ’til my fingerprints burned off The heat felt honest when the world felt false I let my hands lead, told my head to shut up Yeah, I knew it was wrong — I just didn’t give a fuck

Chorus — Millie

(Stands, pulls Charlie up, paces a tight circle with her)

Millie: When the walls cave in and the night gets rough Together we’ll bleed, together we’ll fight through it You can be fucked up, you can be real with me Deep down, you already know it’s true

Verse 3 — Charlie & Millie

(Both sitting on the edge of the bed, shoulders touching, voices low)

Both: We got one job and we’re hell at it Been survivin’ like this for too damn many years When the shit hits hard, we don’t run — we guide each other So in the darkest hour of our longest night We find our rhythm as sisters, we hold the line

Bridge — Millie

(Packing old journals into a box, not looking at Charlie)

Millie: It’s been years since I smiled and didn’t fake it Watching you today — god, it breaks me and makes me I’m shoving all the pain in a box with a lid If it claws its way out, we’ll burn it, kid

Bridge 2 — Charlie

(Grabs a book from Millie’s box, puts it back on the shelf, faces her)

Charlie: You dragged me through the doubt, through the ash and pain So we stand here now, middle fingers to the flames Day and night, it’s you and I Let the world try us — it won’t win this fight Nothing gets between us, not fire, not knives

Verse 4 — Millie

(Hugs Charlie hard, voice shaking but steady)

Millie: Because of you, I remember how to breathe Confident for once that I might get free Hearts and minds stitched up, scar to scar I’m stronger, god, I’m stronger when you’re by my side

Verse 5 — Charlie

(Hugs back, rests her forehead on Millie’s)

Charlie: I can see it now, I can feel it — you’re real You’re with me and the ground don’t disappear I used to think I was born for the fire Now I know I’m stronger when you’re right here

Outro — Millie & Charlie

(Sitting cross-legged on Charlie’s bed, knocking knuckles, then high-five, then bump shoulders)

I’ve scraped characters and renamed Jess Is alter so now a 18 year old girl call Jess who has Dissociative Identity Disorder and a alter called Melody Jess is 18 years old her personality is calm and kind Melody is Jess 18 years old alter her personality is anxiety, harmony, creativity and complex

Called "Independence Day (D.I.D. Version)"

[Intro - Beat drops, Jess center stage, arms crossed, head nodding]

Jess (deadpan, tidying but throwing side-eye to camera): I wanna see the world, wanna do something new Hope hit like stone, yeah, unbreakable too Y’all talk real loud but never follow through Watch me move no permission from you

[Verse 1 - Melody talking in Jess is head]

Melody (pointing at camera, then herself):

We used to feel like nobody, swinging at shadows

Fighting each other ‘til we switched to battle mode

United now? Yeah, we turn heads on the road

Copy us? Nah. Watch and learn how we code

Nobody be like us — we ain’t cloned

Get it right or get gone

[Pre-Chorus - Jess lifting boxes, drops one for emphasis]

Jess (calm but icy, looking straight down lens): Sometimes it’s hard to find yourself in the noise But it’s worth it when your heart makes the choice Gotta be bold, gotta be brave, gotta be free (Kicks desk chair into place) Stop dragging feet, nod your head, see? Quit staring at flaws — you’re boring me

[Chorus - Both in sink shoulder to shoulder, Jess calm, Melody hyped]

Melody (throws hands up, spinning): We’ll rise up and shine, no permission slip Living life full-throttle, never gonna trip Free, free — easy peasy, we don’t do scripts

Jess + Melody (in unison, stomping): Give us our Independence Day, oh No one in our face or in our way!

[Verse 2 - Jess putting up shelves, hammering between lines]

Jess (each hammer hit on beat, not looking at camera): Don’t want your drama — violence ain’t my brand Do something right, yeah, we wait our turn and stand Gave you everything when I gave you freedom That’s power. That’s how you see me.

[Bridge - Melody laughing in Jess is head]

Melody (cackling, then serious): Ha-ha-ha, that’s my Jess, holding tight to those reins Made it on our own ‘cause we shared the same brain Working together? Yeah, we broke them chains

[Outro - Jess sits on bed, lights dim, Melody fades in her head]

(A 16 year old girl called Rebecca who personality is calm and kind and protective and does everything to help her sister Jess)

(A 34 year old woman called Carly who’s personality is gentle and friendly and helpful)

Title: "Two Voices, One Mic"

Beat vibe: Dark, 160 BPM, distorted 808s with piano for Jess’s parts, glitchy breakdowns for Noctis

[Intro - Jess, soft spoken over piano]

Room mirror check, finally won the fight up in my head

Peace semi-restored, my sis made it right, enough said

Subtle changes, that’s okay, I’m breathin’ today

New chapter comin’, tryna keep the demons at bay

[Verse 1 - Rebecca, hype but protective]

This’ll be a better day, just ignore Noctis talkin’

Got your back, Jess, we walkin’ in like we own the buildin’

Oh oh oh, sis you’re shinin’, pick the fit, you decisive

Fidget in your hand, focus, tune out all the sideline divin’

Carly in the back go “mornin’, time for school, be strong”

Together we’re a wall, haters bounce off, they all wrong

[Pre-Chorus - Carly, melodic]

Smile for everyone, refined, oh-so-fun

Never thought I’d see both my girls ready, college bound, we won

[Drop - Noctis, voice distortion, aggressive]

Best of intentions, big consequences!

Kick off college year with EXPLOSIVES, no repentance!

I’m the voice they fear, the one you hear when night’s dense

Jess too kind, I’m the line, I’m the violence, I’m the sentence!

[Verse 2 - Jess on the bus, shaky]

Tripped up on the bus, they laughin’, “look, the L-U-N-A-T-I-C”

“Royally blessed” they mock, think they rollin’ with a nut, sick

Two voices in one body, Noctis, you takin’

Rebecca in my ear: “Keep the voice calm, stop shakin’”

[Bridge - Student, taunting]

“More spoiled little brats, pride of the upper lunatic class”

Think we’re easy? Nah—

[Breakdown - Noctis, cold]

Tiss, tiss. Manners, manners.

Slammed him to the ground, now who’s the one that stammers?

Rebecca pullin’ Jess back: “Not what I expected, damn sis”

“But I’m here always, through the twisted, through the madness”

[Verse 3 - Jess, overwhelmed, building]

So I’ve changed everything, it’s all too much for me

Pressure all around, tell me how I make it better, see?

Rebecca grab my hand, walk me straight to class

“Whatever’s going down, we’ll figure it out, figure it out fast”

[Outro - Rebecca & Jess, together]

We’ll figure it out, figure it out together

Two voices, one heart, we lighter than a feather

You throw shade, we throw thunder, better check the weather

Mess with Jess, you get Noctis… now say it, WHO BETTER?

[Noctis ad-lib to fade]

tell me you’re a guinea pig owner without telling me you’re a guinea pig owner: 18-year-old edition

I’ve had 16 tiny CEOs who scream at me for vegetables at 6am sharp I’ve own Guinea pigs since I was 10 years old our first two were pure breed American Short-haired guinea pigs sisters called Anna and Elsa

Anna was black with a white back end

Elsa was lighter black with splash of ginger they passed away when I was 12 Anna was a mum to 3 girls who I couldn’t remember the names of and We’ve owned a number of different breeds and made mistakes along the way

I can’t pinpoint the exact week “The Covid Incident” rewrote our entire family tree. Yes, we misgendered a boy named Covid. Yes, he met 23 girls. No, we do not talk about the 60-pig aftermath

I’ve done 2-for-£10 since I was 12 and accidentally discovered my villain origin story when I found out the “rescue” was flipping them for £30 for 2

My naming conventions are Disney princesses, Marvel characters, and UK politicians. RIP Anna & Elsa, Cricket, and Boris Johnson. Current cabinet includes Black Panther (alpha), Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Rocket, Olaf, and Frosty. The girls: Cookie, Violet, Sooty, Dexter, Floss, Star Gazer, Taffy, and Mango.

I’ve converted playhouses into luxury piggy penthouses. The girls have open lawn privileges. The boys just got their outdoor grass buffet 2 weeks ago

I know too much about pregnancy risks in a 500g animal named Liquorice. I’ve raised blind pigs, bottle-fed babies, and I’ve retired from breeding to run a family rescue for babies, juveniles, and “wild”

I never bring this up but jwe3 is literally my comfort game I play on PS5 but it’s on Xbox and PC too. I basically live in sandbox mode because I can do whatever I want — huge maps, custom enclosures that actually look natural, terrain tools, and you don’t have to babysit power all the time. It’s pure creative mode I’ve built

1) near replica of my grandads farm

2) near JWFK replica

3) almost perfect JW replica

Blimey! Would you look at that sky! It’s gone darker than a welsh farm trench in about two seconds flat! I mean, we said we wanted a bit of rain for the plants, but this is war

Intro: David Bevan. My grandfather. He learned the ropes by himself

Verse1: He came home from the service with nothing but his hands Found a wife, made a life, a daughter and a son Took a fine old farm in a fine forest in wales When the barns fell down, he learned to lift them back up News ran for miles, not because it was grand But because he never stopped mending

Chorus: Two dogs at his heel, his steady company He worked that land till the sun sank in the sky Every night the sheep were counted, safe and penned And the valley learned his walk

Verse 2: Out one day for wood, he saw what it could be Called it farm fever, and hammered our name in the gate Family came from miles around just to watch him build Where there was nothing, he raised a barn Where there was bracken, he cut a sheep field It turned to a roaring trade, all from his own hands

Chorus 2: Grandad was our hero, not for medals, for the farm No fear of delay when the work was waiting Soon as his boot left the door and touched the ground We'd hear him calling out our names

Bridge: Now we light the bonfire and I still hear him "Roll it wide, as far as it'll go" Click of his fingers, calling the roll Like he's counting us now, not the sheep

Final Verse: Then cancer came, and we tried to lift the hay for him In and out of debt, it was touch and go We kept the farm going while he was slipping He stayed long enough to see us learn how And when David passed, we knew His round-up was complete
