Chapter 1 - Untitled

East Cost Cosplayer California Dreams
Disclaimer: Big thanks to Belle and Sebastian who’s work I just stole.
Want to sing along the original song is “Get me away I’m dying”


Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Take me somewhere that’s gossip free

Nobody cosplays like they used to
So it may as well be me

Dressing up can be fun
Here on my own now on at a con

Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our whimsical costumes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, east coasters don't stand a chance

Oh, I'll settle down with some old manga
About a girl who's just like me
Thought love could make every costume great
You're so naive!

Most of us newbies reach a sorry ending
We always get it end

Still it was worth it as I post the photos, and then
With a winning smile, the girl
With naivety she tries
To be accepted, back stage she cried
I always cry at cosplays
Repeats and fades

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, in my room
The computer buzzing as I type
But I am free to wander
Into the galleries of my friends
They never know unless I post
This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye
Said the hero in the manga
It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I’ll never win best craftsmanship with these hands
Win with these hands
Win with these hands

Get me away I’m dying
Get me away I’m dying
Oh, I’m dying.

Thanks for reading,

~Anna
