On the way home from Virginia(not to mention the most miserable week-long vacation with my family away from the computer), while listening to these two songs, I kept thinking about the lyrics in relation to my life and when I woke up this morning, (still pissed off because I missed Outlaw Star), I thought I could do this, so, here it is. Its all (that is,both chapters)in Faye's POV after Spike left in the end of The Real Folk Blues.



Gotta knock a little harder

Happiness is just a word to me

And it might have meant a thing or two

If I'd had known the difference

I cant ever be happy again, but, was I ever?



Emptiness a lonely parody

And my life, another smokin gun

A sign of my indifference

Nobody cares for me, the untouchable shrew woman.



Always keepin safe inside

Where no one ever had a chance

To penetrate a break in

I was just protecting myself from them! They couldnt touch me, they couldnt hurt me...



Let me tell you some have tried

But I would slam the door so tight

That they could never get in

If I did such a good job of protecting myself from them, why does it hurt so much?





Kept my cool under lock and key

And I never shed a tear

Another sign of my condition

I never cried before, why am I crying now?



Fear of love or bitter vanity

That kept me on the run

The main events at my confession

No man ever took the time to like me for me. All they saw was a hot babe they supposed would be easy.



I kept the chain upon my door

That would shake the shame of Cain

Into a blind submission

No one could ever break through, no matter how hard they tried! Until him... I did a really good job protecting myself! Too good a job...



The burning ghost without a name

Was still calling all the same

But I just wouldnt listen

The few people that ever actually did care tried to warn me, tried to save me from myself...



Suddenly it occured to me

The reason for the run and hide

Had totaled my existence

How was I to know that being untouchable for so long would mean losing the care of those I cared about?



Everything left on the other side

Could never be much worse than this

But could I go the distance

How could caring and being hurt be worse than knowing no one cares?



I faced the door and all my shame

Tearin off each piece of chain

Until they all were broken

I let myself go, infront of Spike of all people! I thought he would understand, hes the one who told me to forget the past in the first place! How could I ever forget Whitney? How he used me? Sally Yung, I dont remember her, but she knew me...even remembered me!





But no matter how I tried

The other side was locked so tight

The door it wouldnt open

I opened myself to you Spike, I made myself vulnerable, for you! And you walked away!



Gave it all that I got

And started to knock

Shouted for someone

To open the lock

I just gotta get through the door

I opened up, but why isnt anyone there to do the same for me? Was I really that untouchable? So untouchable that they all gave up on me?
