Half Sisters - Music Video - "Sisters By Design" (Patreon)

Back in January, I made something for the Double Platinums that I’ve wanted to share with everyone ever since. It’s a music video for Half Sisters! Honestly, it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever made. It’s been nine months, and I figured it was time.

I wrote the lyrics and commissioned a singer to bring them to life. The song is about Nikki and Sandy, two girls who never chose any of this, and who’d be lost without each other.

Thank you to my Double Platinums for getting the first listen! 💕

I hope you all love it as much as I do! There's an attachment to download below, as well!

Lyrics:

Sisters by Design

I’m trading in cleats for a pair of high heels
Making bargains with devils just to see how it feels
The boy in the photo is starting to fade
Lost in the shimmer of the mess that they made
I scream underwater where nobody hears
Drowning in satin and diamond-cut tears

They painted us in colors that we never chose
Cutting off the thorns to make the perfect rose
It’s a luxury cage, it’s a beautiful lie
And we’re just pretty birds, who can't fly

We’re half of who we were, and half of who we’ll be
Locked inside a castle with a golden key
Two broken hearts adjusting to a brand-new view
I never wanted this, but thank god I’m stuck with you
Oh, we’re playing the part, sisters by design
Walking a beautiful, terrible line

I was the quarterback, you were the thief
Now we’re bonded by secrets and quiet grief
From stealing in alleys to country club lunch
Taking the hits, but I can’t throw a punch
The lipstick is war paint, the dress is a shield
Fighting a battle on a different kind of field

They painted us in colors that we never chose
Cutting off the thorns to make the perfect rose
It’s a luxury cage, it’s a beautiful lie
And we’re just pretty birds learning how to fly

We’re half of who we were, and half of who we’ll be
Locked inside a castle with a golden key
Two broken hearts adjusting to a brand-new view
I never wanted this, but thank god I’m stuck with you
Oh, we’re playing the part, sisters by design
Walking a beautiful, terrible line

And the world sees a picture of sugar and spice
They don’t know we paid the impossible price
Yeah, the cage is made of gold and the bars are unseen
But I’ve got my partner in this twisted machine

We’re half of who we were, and half of who we’ll be
Locked inside a castle with a golden key
Two broken hearts adjusting to a brand-new view
I never wanted this, but thank god I’m stuck with you
Oh, we’re playing the part, sisters by design
Walking a beautiful, terrible line

It’s a luxury cage, it’s a beautiful lie...
But watch these pretty birds finally start to fly.
Just you and I.
My sister
