Liner Notes
Ok. So, musically, my vocals still kinda suck on this one, but I'm just really focusing on tuning in on that femvoice. This song I did entirely with my more feminine tone... with one semi-drop.
I started the song off with the wrong configuration, and so part way through the first chorus I adjust and you can hear my resonance drop, but I think the femvoice is much clearer and better after that. I did try to remember breath support this time though, so hopefully it's not AS bad as previous attempts, but it's still pretty rough. It's hard to manage doing a completely different voice at the same time as singing.
I love the start of the bridge. I think that's the best of my voice. It just sounds so right. I got so excited and jumped up and down and screamed with delight when I listened back to that and I didn't hear "him" anywhere in that section.
This song was written specifically by my alter, Fyre, so I think it's the first song I've written here specifically from only a single alter's perspective. Song is a coping song dealing with SA.
Lyrics
Hey Twiddle Dick!
(Verse 1) I'd like to thank you for the scars I'd like to thank you for the pain You left your mark on my psyche like a map And now I know just what you are I'd like to thank you for the memories I'd like to thank you for the trauma I took notes, I was a good student But now teacher's gotta die
(Chorus) Yank the cord and bask in the screams You die over and over in my dreams Now it's your turn to feel small Now it's your turn to feel the fear I'll take your hands I'll take your pride And then once the screams end I'll take your life... Bitch.
(Verse 2) I see you in other faces I see you in other lives Nobody seems to see through your bullshit But I know just what you are Why won't you just stay away? Why won't you just stay dead? How many more do you have to hurt? How many times do I have to kill you?
(Chorus) Yank the cord and bask in the screams You die over and over in my dreams Now it's your turn to feel small Now it's your turn to feel the fear I'll take your hands I'll take your pride And then once the screams end I'll take your life... Bitch.
(Bridge) Don't you fucking touch me It's time for you to run I got my hands free And it's time for retribution I'm a spirit of vengeance I'm a spirit of rage I was born from suffering And this is my stage You tried to hurt her But I was there And I'll be killing you forever And I'll do it with flair
(Chorus) Yank the cord and bask in the screams You die over and over in my dreams Now it's your turn to feel small Now it's your turn to feel the fear I'll take your hands I'll take your pride And then once the screams end I'll take your life... Bitch.

Oh sure. We're like a head with three siblings who love each other. No need for etiquette, or whatever. Talk to whoever you want. Fyre appreciates the compliment. You're probably the first person online who's ever addressed her directly, so that's a new fun experience.
Honestly... it would have probably sounded better too if she had been the one singing. I (Gwen) struggle to capture that same sense of confidence she's got. She just doesn't care.
Anyways. Thanks. I was actually nervous about doing the "bitch", because it felt a little extra spiteful to me... even though the target definitely deserves it.
I look forward to the day that I don't have to choose between "sound decent singing" and "sound femme".

Fucking righteous, girl. I thought your voice sounded fantastic throughout, but the way you spit out “bitch” especially so 🔥 Also (to Gwen) if it’s OK to address her directly, great job on the writing Fyre, I love the self-assertion and assuredness of power throughout. ✊
