Hello! These are the rest of the songs, and the first outlook of how Darryl's doing!
"All right! Papercut is next!" I shouted, regaining my breath.
Gaz started to clack his drumsticks together again, and on the count of four, it started...
(Papercut by Linkin Park. Fang, Ray, Both )
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside So I know that when it's time to sink or swim I know I've got a face in me
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(It watches everything)
That the face inside is hearing me
Right beneath my skin
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head!
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within!
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin!
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first Everybody has a face that they hold So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(It watches everything)
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
It's like I'm paranoid! lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid! lookin' over my back The face inside is right beneath your skin
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The sun goes down It's like I'm paranoid! lookin' over my back
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
(The Sun)
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
(I feel the light betray me) It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
(The Sun)
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin!
"Great guys, it's like we never stopped playin' em!" Ray-Ray exclaimed.
"What songs next?" I asked.
"How about Faint?" Gazzy suggested.
"All right. We need to practice that one. I know that this one is going to be one of the hardest." Ray-Ray said.
Then, an idea came to my head. "Hey guys, if we get as good as we used to be with this song, we should probably use it to start up the gig. I mean think about it, a bunch of kids that are rebelling with their parents and teachers, because they think they never listen. This song would be great!" I said.
The whole band nodded in agreement. Yes! This is my favorite song that we made when we we young. I thought "All right! Lets do this!" Iggy said. I knew he loved the song too. He had the sweetest opening.
"Wait!" I heard a female voice say. I looked over at Max through the window. "You guys sounded great the last two songs, but can I suggest something?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure," I said.
"Okay. Why don't you have Monique sing some of the sing some singles, or let her come up with her own songs? It seems like most of you guys' music is Rock. And in all honesty, I haven't heard Nudge sing, sing at all, and I know that she has a good voice," she said. You know... that actually is true, Mo hasn't sang in a while...
"We'll have her sing a single soon. I heard that there was some band competition coming up." Gaz said, "It's not very big from what I understand though. It's just two bands, and the judges decide which band is better. It's supposed to be a great jump-start for small time bands." he explained.
"I think that would work great! Alicia and I have been making songs for a while now, but Fang is the only one to see any of them. And that was just one of them." she said excitedly.
"All right, cool. Can we get on with the song already! You're torturing Gnaf, Iggy, and I," Kirk said.
"Gnaf?" we all asked.
"Yeah, It's Fang's name backwards," he said. Random much? I thought.
"Random much?" I heard Max ask. Weird... I thought.
"Whatever, I'm bored! I just want to do this song! It has to be the best song we've made so far!" Kirk said. Not really, but it's pretty good, I think.
"Well, not the best song we've ever made. I still think that-" I started, but then Iggy started his opening.
"Dude!" I said, "I need to tell Max to record!" I yelled.
He stopped for a second, then said,"Then do it!"
I rolled my eyes, and pointed to Max. Iggy started to his opening again.
(Faint by Linkin Park(YEAH!) Ray-Ray, Fang, Matt, Matt/Fang)
I am
A little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
A handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am
What I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real
So I
let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here,'Cause you're all I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
I am
A little bit insecure
A little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So I
let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here, 'Cause you're all I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
Now!
Hear me out now!
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not!
Right now!
Hear me out now!
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not!
Right now!
I can't feel
The way I did before
don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored!
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me!
I won't be ignored!
(End Song)
"Ah!" I shouted, "That song! It's hard! My throat hurts from all the screaming!"
I had seen Max laughing from the safety of the plexiglass window. I glared at her, "I'd like to see you come out and do one of these songs!" I yelled, laughing. Yes, laughing. The only reason I was though, was because of the fact that my head is spinning from using all of that air.
"So, Max, how did we sound?" Ray asked.
Max lifted up her hand, and put a thumbs-up, then said, "You guys sounded good, but Fang needs a little time to catch his breath. You are going at the right tempo, but Fang needs about a second to re-cooperate, so I would suggest having Iggy fill in the second with a echo like he did at the end," she said.
"All right, we'll practice that later. Lets move on to Numb," Iggy said. I would have to say that's the song that he uses the keyboard most in.
"All right, Max. Any suggestions on just our overall band?" I asked.
"Well... yeah. I think you should put a little more emotion in your movements, and singing, Fang. You're a great singer, but you are tending to stand still, and you don't act like the songs relate to you at all. Sorry if I'm being blunt, but it would make you guys look a lot better while preforming," she said.
"All right," I said. Man, she really gets into this stuff.
(Numb by Linkin Park Ray, Fang,Matt)
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me, and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take!
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me, and be less like you!
And I know I may end up failing too!
But I knowyou were just like me
With someone disappointed in you!
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me, and be less like you!
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
(End Song)
"All right, that song went better than the last one. Fang, you put a lot more emotion into that song. It seems like you really relate to it," she said.
That's actually because I did. I had written the song. Alone. It was when my dad kept on expecting me to follow his footsteps. Yeah, because I wanted to become a rich, heartless, back-stabbing, child-abandoning, Jew-killing, dick-munching, Hitler-worshiping, faggot! Well, maybe not the last four things... nope, never mind, he was the last four things too.
"Yeah, I have some relations to it," I said, nonchalantly, "What's the next song?"
"New divide, man!" Gazzy yelled, excited. It was on rare occasions that he got to use the Mixer.
"Go get it, Gazzy." I said, "Alicia, your drums." I said.
"Whoo, it's been awhile sense I got to use this baby." she had said, running over to the drums.
After a few minutes of running back and forth with equipment for the Mixer, Gazzy finally came back with all the equipment for the mixer.
"Lets do this," Gazzy said, making a stupid James Bond-like face.
(New Divide by: Linkin Park. Fang)
I remember black skies
And lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to burn
Like a startling sign
The fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Ignite the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
There is nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your mind
Across this new divide
And every loss
And every lie
And every truth that you deny
And each regret
And each divide
Are some mistakes you pray to hide
And your voice was all I heard
But I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
(End Song)
"Great, guys," I said. The rest of the meet went simply. We were ready for going to the middle school. However, there was one thing that still bugged me... That was the fact that we never did do our singing try-outs that day...
Sorry it ended so abruptly, had to get this posted!
