life at atlanta Chapter 4: the sorrow (part 1), a walking dead fanfic

(disclaimers I don't the walking dead tomb raider or songs by the fray or anything just my oc's)

note: this will have 2 parts in this has alex's remembers his friend

Chapter 4: the sorrow (part 1

Step one, you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defence
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

How to save a life

how to save a life by the fray

Alex grim's p.o.v

ville valo's p.o.v

I walk to the microphone this first song is called right here in my arms I say I sing the first part and Alex sings the last one

She is smiling like heaven is down on earth
Sun is shining so bright on her
And all her wishes have finally come true
And her heart is weeping.
This happiness is killing her.

She'll be right here in my arms
So in Love
She'll be right here in these arms
She can't let go
[Repeat 2x]

So hard she's trying
But her heart won't turn to stone... oh no
She keeps on crying
But I won't leave her alone
She'll never be alone

She'll be right here in my arms
So in Love
She'll be right here in these arms
She can't let go
[Repeat 2x]

Alex looks at the girl with blond hair and sings his heart out

[bridge]
And she'll be right here in my arms
So in Love
She'll be right here in these arms
She can't let go
[Repeat 3x and fade out]

we finshes and alex walks to the microphone. this next song is called under the rose alex says

I dream of the winter in my heart turning to spring While the ice gives way under my feet And so I drown with the sun I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose I open my eyes with a sigh of relief As the warmth of summer's sunlight dances around me And I see you with dead leaves in your hands I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose In your heart under the rose In your heart under the rose In your heart under the rose

we finish and i look at fall out boy. you guys taking over i ask patrick. yeah let's rock this place pat says to the band and alex the lights turn off.

alex

They just sat back laughing at the wounded city. Each breath sucking in ashes and fumes. Oh it bled all right; drier than Moore county. All expatriate flames hurrying to found new nations of blinding dust. But the two of them, they just squinted at that pipe-cleaner skyline, and it burned hotter in their oil slick pupils. One elbowed the other and said "I've seen better." Knowing that they were paid to remember the past - he blew out a hot breath and said "burn it all the voice says

Put on your war paint

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Here it comes, this a rising tide
So come on

Put on your war paint

Across walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey lining

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Bring home the boys and strap strap metal detects
Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a Taliban, we are wearing black masks
"So broke our spirit, " says the note we pass

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Put on your war paint

[x4:]
The war is won
Before it's begun
Release the doves
Surrender love

i go grab the flag and wave

(Wave the white flag!)

Hey young blood -
Doesn't it feel - like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix -
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint

this next song is about loving a girl so much that your so jealous of her that you just want to cut her up into pieces and eat her but she tastes like you only sweeter i say

I'm gonna make it bend and break
(It sent you to me without wings)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)
And I want these words to make things right
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got
Better put your fingers back to the keys

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter"

Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for (except for)
When you look into the past (look into the past)
One night stand (one night stand oh)

They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, (Oh!) yeah, (Oh!) and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter"

One night and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter" (Oh)
One night, yeah, and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories (Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories)
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter" (Oh)

this next song is a tribute to my best friend Trevor McCormick this song is called What A Catch, Donnie i say and walk to the piano and play

I got troubled thoughts

And the self-esteem to match

What a catch, what a catch

You'll never catch us

So just let me be

Said I'll be fine

Till the hospital or American Embassy

Miss Flack said I still want you back

Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back

I got troubled thoughts

And the self-esteem to match

What a catch, what a catch

And all I can think of

Is the way I'm the one

Who charmed the one

Who gave up on you

They say the captain

Goes down with the ship

So, when the world ends

Will God go down with it?

Miss Flack said I still want you back

Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back

I got troubled thoughts

And the self-esteem to match

What a catch, what a catch

And all I can think of

Is the way I'm the one

Who charmed the one

Who gave up on you

What a catch

[Elvis Costello:]

I will never end up like him

Behind my back, I already am

Keep a calendar

This way you will always know

I got troubled thoughts

And the self-esteem to match

What a catch, what a catch

And all I can think of

Is the way I'm the one

Who charmed the one

Who gave up on you

[Gabe Saporta:]

Where is your boy tonight?

I hope he is a gentleman

Maybe he won't find out what I know

You were the last good thing

[Travis McCoy:]

We're going down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're goin' down swinging

[Brendon Urie:]

Dance, dance, we're falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance, and these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance, this is the way they'd love

If they knew how misery loved me

[Doug Does:]

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

[Alex DeLeon:]

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories

Even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you, only sweeter

[William Beckett:]

Growing up, growing up

i feel tears fall down my face as i sing this last part

I got troubled thoughts

And the self-esteem to match

What a catch, what a catch

patrick walks to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. i'm fine i say this next song is called Save Rock and Roll (ft. Elton John) i say and clap my hands and the band and everyone joins

[Bridge 1]

Until your breathing stops, stops

Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Your-your-your-your, forever forever

[Verse 1]

I need more dreams and less life

I need that dark in a little more light

I cry tears you'll never see

So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean and leave me be

[Hook 1]

You are what you love,

Not who loves you

In a world full of the word yes, I'm here to scream

No, no,

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

And I only come here to save rock and roll,

Wherever I go, go,

I only plugged in to save rock and roll,

[Bridge 1]

Until your breathing stops, stops

Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Your-your-your-your, forever forever

i sing elton's part

Blood brothers in desperation,

An oath of silence for the voice of a generation

[Verse 3: Patrick Stump]

How'd it get to be only me?

Like I'm got the last damn kid still kicking, that still believes

[Bridge 2: alex & Patrick]

I will defend the faith, going down swinging

I will save the songs that we can't stop singing

[Hook 2]

No, no, wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only come here to save rock and roll

No, no, wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only come here to save rock and roll

Oh no, we won't go

We don't know when to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

We don't know when to quit, no, no

[Bridge 3: alex]

You are what you love,

Not who loves you

In a world full of the word yes, I'm here to scream

No, no…

[Hook 3: alex & Patrick]

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

And I only come here to save rock and roll,

Wherever I go, go,

I only come here to save rock and roll,

i stand on the piano with the microphone on my hand

Oh no, we won't go

We don't know when to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

We don't know when to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

We don't know when to quit, no, no

I only come here to save rock and roll,

i get off the piano and walk home.
