A/N: Um, I'm not very good at songfics, but this one really jumped out at me and I absolutely loved the combination of this song and Maximum Ride!! Enjoy!

"Hey, Ig, can I borrow your iPod for a while?" I asked Iggy as I left the camp. It was a few months after our glorious Antarctica adventure. The Voice keeps playing redundant riddles in my head and I need some time alone.

Iggy looks over at me and digs in his pocket, pulling out the slim silver music player my mother had given him, he tossed it to me.

"Just don't break it or run it's batteries down. Where are you going?"

"Just out for a little bit. Everyone else is asleep, I'll be back before your watch is over."

"Whatever, just be careful."

Right, like I'm ever not careful…

"Okay, see ya."

I put the tiny white ear-buds in my head and selected randomize on the iPod as my wings snapped out and I descended into the night.

Circling your, circling your, circling your head,
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth, I got doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later

Yeah, if only the Voice circling in my head would leave…

I see your fantasy; you want to make it a reality paved in gold

Yup, a life with Fang and no worries about being mutant bird children, it's definitely a fantasy.


See inside, inside of our heads (yeah)
Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

I swooped another wide arc and turned up the volume.

(Fuck!)
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away

Damn! Where'd Iggy find this song!? It's the story of my life! I'm getting antsy just listening to it.

Verse 2:
Conclusions manifest, your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of shit, and that's alright
That's how you play, I guess you'll get through every night
Well now that's over

Yeah? Bite me. I'm not big on first impressions.


I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads (yeah)
Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

Here comes my favorite part! Ha ha. I started to nod my head along with the beat of the music and landed in a high pine tree.

(Fuck!)
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away

Stretching up high, I pretended I was holding a microphone and amusing myself. I knew the chorus now, and was acting like a crazy person singing it.

Verse 3:
I know, I know all about x3
I know, I know all about your motives inside, and your decision to hide

(Fuck!)
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away

I pushed pause before the next song could play and leaned against the tree trunk. This flight had helped me clear my head a little and find a song that fits our lives better than words can describe.

A/N: Well, this is my favorite song and kind of my theme song if you want to call it that. Ha, ha. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!! Thank you!
