This story was inspired by the song Collide by Howie Day, and by the poem Burned Out by Mollyxoxo. Definitely check her stuff out, she's really good!
I only own the rhythm.
Tori
Everything's beautiful, they say
Everything's fine, they say
You're the star of the show
Everyone wants to be you
Claim you
Love you
But what they don't know
Is you want to be more than a show.
Andre
Just play your music
It melts my soul
It speaks the words that you can't form
You know it does, it does you too
Heals you
Breaks you
Music is your life, your soul
The notes on paper make you whole
Cat
My little girl, the world's your stage
All the world's a stage, they say
Every role is yours, you own it all
You carry yourself like you know
You play the part
Of a broken heart
Can't they see, you just want to be
Faith, love, hope. You.
Jade
Beautiful, hidden, icy, cold
You recoil from the world
Who will come if you won't call them?
Who will be there if you've fallen?
On your face
Get up
Look into the eyes of the one who loves you
You are loved.
Beck
Strong man, rich man, poor man, fool
Even lies sound like the truth
Running towards that fading light
Don't let it get away.
Small light
Strong light
What are you looking for?
It's right here, right now.
Robbie
Faking all that happiness,
The world is not so great.
Hide behind your shadow, boy
Your life, it lies in wait.
That purpose,
That prose,
You too could fly, if you chose.
Fly, boy, fly.
