Video Post
(Ginny is sitting on her sofa, dressed down in faded jeans and a plain black tee, hair pulled back and wearing almost no makeup. Her acoustic guitar sitting on her lap, she took one strum of it before looking at the camera)
"Hey everyone... I got a little tired of sitting around letting my feelings get the better of me, so I decided to put it to good use and write a new song. Hopefully you enjoy it, and will support Bad Reputation once I get the band re-formed."
She began to strum the guitar softly, her voice rich, deep, and brimming with a potent mix of sadness and anger.
"You made me tough, you made me numb
You are the maker of what I've become
And now I am strong where I was weak
And I am unafraid of being me
So say hello to the monster that you made
Thank you for the pain, thank you for the hate
Thank you for the way that you left me scarred
Thank you for the stain that you left on my brain
Now because of you I've got a heart
Of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine"
"Once upon a time you had control
And lorded over my poor soul
And the trust in you but now I see
You never knew the real me
And now I'm angry and you wonder why
You see the fire burning in my eyes
Once you had me but you lost me now
And there's no going back
So say hello to the monster that you made
Thank you for the pain, thank you for the hate
Thank you for the way that you left me scarred
Thank you for the stain that you left on my brain
Now because of you I've got a heart
Of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine"
It was easy to see how she became so popular in her world... even a bare, stripped down performance like this was full of so much passion, charisma, and intensity, that it could practically give one chills. Her voice grew more emotional as she hit the final verse, as though trying to purge her own agony via song.
"My fear has died
My tears have dried
I don't feel afraid
And I won't run away
I believe in me
And now I see
Right through your lies
Hiding behind your eyes
Because of you I'll make it through
Nothing can hurt me like you did anymore
Thank you for the pain, thank you for the hate
Thank you for the way that you left me scarred
Now there's nothing you can say to wash it all away
Now because of you I've got a heart
Of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine"
As she finished, she set her guitar down, giving an adorably sweet grin to the camera and waving, before reaching over to hit the "send" button.
