Ken Ashcorp - Wear

Slow, relaxing and melancholic. A song for a tired soul, wrought with wear and tear.

Lyrics
---------------------
They will tear her down
Piece by piece, seam by seam
They will murder everything
And all she has left is her angelic dream

Lost to the rags
Stitch after stitch, she never gives up
Blood on her shirt again
But she does it all for love

Petty like a petticoat
A whore for the words she wrote
That they never heard her speak
In a dress bespoke

(Ooooo)
Sail away for that seifuku
And darling do feel comfortable just being you
Wear a smile, wear a frown
Wear it up when it wears you down, darling
Wear whatever you like

They will tear her down
Prick after prick, yeah they're all the same
She's scars to tell the story of her words
That she hides 'cause she's ashamed

Lost to the rags
Tears in her eyes and mud on her shoes
She wants to scream that she loves her
But they just make her sing the blues

It wasn't 'bout the jeans she wore
'cause she's got the price tag in that store
It's not enough, it's not enough
It should be more

(Ooooo)
Sail away for that seifuku
And darling do feel comfortable just being you
Wear a smile, wear a frown
Wear it up when it wears you down, darling
Wear whatever you like

She's stronger than the Martins
Lacing up her boots
They feel heavy as the burden that she bears
Who cares what she wears
Try as you might
It's you she doesn't like

Sail away for that seifuku
And darling do feel comfortable just being you
Wear a smile, wear a crown
I'll be there if you're feeling down
Darling, wear whatever you like

(Ooooo)
Sail away for that seifuku
Wear a smile, wear a frown
Wear it up if it wears you down, darling
Wear whatever you like

Ken Ashcorp's music is like wine, with time it gets better.

[TeamLumix]

I'm really missing my wife. This reminds me of her, in all her strength and grace. Thank you.

I've currently been listening to your songs since around 2011? I'm not sure when, honestly, but for however long I have I have to say thank you. Your music has helped me through fun times, tough times, any times. Rival was one of the first songs I heard from you and I couldn't stop after that. When you had stopped, I became worried. I thought you had moved on. Now, after five or so years(I'm really sorry if I'm getting these dates wrong.) You're back. And this...Was a very nice surprise. Thank you so much for not giving up. I'm sure everyone appreciates your work. I hope to see so many more of your works, because every single one is awesome. I know this sounds really sappy and crappy, but it's the best I could do to give thanks. And this music is just getting my mind to it. So, again. Thank you.

The beauty of Ken Ashcorp songs is that they could be about a show or a game but if you don't know that it doesn't take away from the song. If you know it only makes it better.

[sope]

"Wear a smile
Wear a frown
Wear it up when it
Wears you down"


That shit is so good for some reason. That is one of my favourite lyrics ever

[nintendo_pirate]

You know, ken once said he just does this for the memes. Anime reference or not, this song is more than a meme.
This one isn't just music, this is Art.

[PostNukeProductions]

This is genuinely the most underappreciated song that Ken has. It's *so freaking good.*

[ball]

When Ken isn't rocking out about monster girls, his voice is so gentle

[TrisMil]

"Try as you might
It's you she doesn't like."

Ow.

[nebula_wolf]

His songs helped me find my voice, in a time when I would've rather remained mute. Singing is a joy that many should experience.

[radwaygo]

"Sail away for that seifuku
Wear a smile, wear a frown
Wear it up if it wears you down, darling
Wear whatever you like"

Best Lyric of all Time

[ideever]

I had this song stuck in my head forever! I hadn't listened to it for months so I had no idea what song it was, all I could remember was "whatever you like" with the melody. Drove me crazy.

Glad I finally figured it out!

[Chillerd]

I just realized that Kenny isn't wearing Senkentsu, but actually just holding him. He's even all flustered if you look closely! Really great detail! Props to the artist!

[mateosalguero]

Ive never found someone irl that listens to ken ashcorp

[MrAlquimista]

I listened to this song for the first time back when it first came out. It's crazy to think how much has happened in just 5 years. I'm a whole differente person and I would give everything I've gained in these last 5 years to go back to 2015. Not because that year was great, but because what I'm living right now is my own personal hell and I'm afraid it can only get worse before it gest better. I'm scared and alone and afraid. But at the very least I can close my eyes and go back to listening to this great song and feel the same way I heard it back in 2015 and get a glimpse of better times, long past gone.

[SibTauran]

Returning to these songs make me feel nostalgic.
But also to feel the weight of passed years on my shoulders. To realise how tired I've become.
Still great to listen to the songs, though.

[evidescent]

I wish he'd do some more chill songs like this. His voice is great for it.

[froyoreal]

i was woken up by a terrible dream a bit ago, and i don't know why, but i came to this song in particular after not listening to it in forever. i feel a lot better now, it just, worked. this song is really good

[reneeperez]

I love the range of different song styles Ken can cover, love your voice Ken!❤️

[Mel-ixun]

I've recently been on a ken ashcorp binge and I appreciate his songs even more than I did before. I'm really glad he's back and I just wanna say thank you to him for making me happy for all these years spent listening to his songs. You're an amazing person Ken :)
