You kick a rock on the ground in your favourite place in the manor. The room had a glass door and a lot of trees and plants but not enough to be called a Greenhouse. You love this room the most because it reminds you of all the good memories you have with your mother and the Al Gluh's (granted, their aren't many but there are some).
You pull out your iphone and tap on the play button for the last song you listen to...
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticised
But all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up
You remember growing up with all the lectures to be better that Bruce Wayne, the Batman, would have done a better job, then late Leviathan, your clone, would have done a better job then you. I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You talk back and smart-mouth everyone because that is your coping mechanism and the only way you know how to respond to comfort and... love, and the reason you call everybody by their last name because you don't want to get to close, for when they fail or betray you, you just don't want to get hurt again.
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You often repeat this in your head, I am titanium. I won't fall, but the more you say it the less you believe it.
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
You think back to all the times you had been shoot down, all the opinions you had that where ignored, all the times you tried to please but failed to receive a respond.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You remember having to shot your first gun, the loud banging it had made in your ears and how you jumped out of your skin but you still carried on. When you had to climb the cat ears mountains and how disappointed everyone looked when you feel, at that moment you knew that you could do it, you had to do it, everyone was waiting on you to climb that mountain.
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium
You wish constantly that someone would notice that this tough boy act of yours was just an act, another mask you wear on your face and if it weren't for Grayson than you wouldn't even know what love and affection are, even your own father treats you like a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.
Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass
You remember growing up with the League of Assassins and when some of the foot soldiers had disobeyed, they would be killed in front of everyone or hanged or beheaded or something else incredibly gory and bloody and that had given you nightmares for weeks but you were too afraid to cry out for help since you had thought that would happen to you too.
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
You hate how a single song makes you think so much, feel so much. You throw your iphone to the ground and so naturally it breaks.
This was supposed to make you feel better anything to get your mind of the other boys in this house, your "brothers" but sadly that isn't the case because it is your life and Life is Unfair.
Um... pretty sure I messed up the whole timeline thing but aside from that, review and all...
