A few months ago I got Fall Out Boy's album Infinity On High...one of the best albums I've bought on iTunes next to the RENT (OBCR), Legally Blonde (OBCR), tick,tick...BOOM! (OCR) and Bright Lights,Big City (OCR)...anyway there are alot of songs that make me think of RENT on this album but this one especially so I decided to write a songfic with it...it's not the best but It's good...and I am proud of my self for breaking my 5 month writers block! YAY ME!
Speicail thanks to Kassie (missxflawless)...sorry the FOB concert in your town was canceled but these guys still rock! XD
Recomended Listening: "The (After) Life Of The Party" by Fall Out Boy
I'm a stitch away from making it
"We just need you to sign here, Mr. Davis" Mr. Grey said handing him a pen.
Roger couldn't believe he was actually about to do this.
And a scar away from falling apart, apart
He couldn't believe he was this desperate to see her again as he wrote the note tears steaming down his face, he signed it Thomas Byron Collins.
Blood cells pixilated
She gasped as she looked at the results….no she had always been so careful…it was just one night stand…She couldn't have gotten it….. "Ms. Johnson, will need to get you started on AZT as soon as possible" A Nurse said snapping Maureen out of her daze.
And eyes dilate
She had quite and yet here she was about to do it again….Mimi prepped her needle; she tightened the belt on her arm.
And the full moon pills got me out on the street at night
He needed to get away he couldn't stand watching all of his friends fade, he had gotten an offer in California….maybe he should take it he thought, "Leprechauns in Space 2 a Mark Cohen film" He said to himself.
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
He had vowed he wouldn't sell out but a record deal…much less with a company owned by Grey Communications
"Oh god I'm turning into Benny" He mumbled quietly…he had betrayed Mimi…he had turned into one of those conforming sell outs.
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
He drew a bath and sighed "I'll be in your arms soon Angel" He whispered clutching a razor in his hands.
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
She felt eerily calm about it, there was one thing she couldn't do is tell Joanne. She bit his lip drawing her coat closer around herself
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
She had been doing so good….she hadn't done this in months….what happened? Roger left…that's right….that fuck…but he left because she didn't fit the 'Rock star Girlfriend' profile she took the needle and then threw it out the window
Oh put love on hold,
Young Hollywood is on the other line
"Leprechauns in Space 2?" He sounded disgusted at himself for actually thinking of doing it…but then again what did New York have to offer….loneliness and grief as friends drop like flies…He sighed and got up putting his coat on…I'll ask Collins for his opinion.
Her nose runs ruby red, deaths in a double bed
She heard her come home "Honeybear you here!"…. "Uh…yeah…pookie….in the bedroom"
Singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate
He heard her voice as he held the razor close to his wrist…her sweet melodic voice "Live In my house…I'll be your shelter jut pay me back with 1,000 sweet kisses….be my lover and I'll cover you" Singing him his ear….he was loosing it.
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
He can't do this…he promised himself he wouldn't do stuff like this. "Mr. Davis?"…. "I'm sorry but I can't take your offer" He said simply getting up and walking out of the building….there was a place he had to be right now
Cut it loose
He pressed it deep running it along each wrist.
Watch you work the room
He watched the blood trickled down his hands to his finger tips he got in the tub, fully clothed and closed his eyes waiting to be with his girl again and forever.
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
"How was your day baby?" she asked her lover…. "Uhh….Uneventful" she said lying through her teeth.
Cut it loose
She curled up on the bed and began to cry angry at him and herself…how could he just go? How could she have gone back to doing that?
I'm a stitch away from making it
He got to her apartment…and saw her asleep on the couch and smiled…that's where he needed to be screw the record labels.
And a scar away from falling apart, apart
He took one finale gasp of breath before, a smile on his face….his cheeks still wet with tears for the first time in months he was happy.
Blood cells pixilated
She tossed and turned in bed….nightmares her couscous getting to her…she woke up and shook her lover awake "Joanne wake up"…the lawyer groaned "What?"
And eyes dilate
He got to his friends apartment…. "Collins open up its Mark?" He called grabbed the door knob and it opened, left unlocked "Col, you here?" He looked for him and then gasped at the sight he saw in the bathroom.
Kiss away young thrills and kills on the mouths of all my friends
Mimi couldn't remember what happened but she did know that their were a pair of lips on hers…she was about to push the creep but then realized who it was, and relaxed into it.
Cut it loose
Watch you work the room
"Pookie I have something important to tell you….." her tone serious…. "What is it honeybear?"
Loose
Watch you work the room
She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck…feeling complete.
Cut it loose
(Watch you work the room)
He saw a note tapped to the mirror shakily he took it into his hands and read it.
To Whom It May Concern:
I've been suffering for months and I can't take it anymore.
I just need to be with her again.
Please let me be at peace and remember
Hesitate for no one. Follow your dreams. Compromise nothing
I'm A Stitch Away, from happiness
-Thomas Byron Collins
January 18 1964 – December 15 1992
"I'm a stitch away…" Mark repeated quietly
