Theme Thirty Six: Sing
We were sitting under a tree, once again eating packed lunches instead of getting it from school. Sora had joined us, and he mentioned that his friend Kairi might join us later, if her club (whatever it was) was still going.
That was when Sora began to sing again.
You and I
We're floating in a kaleidoscope of lies
I wanna break free
Cause its really scaring the hell outta me
"What's he singing?" Riku mouthed. I shrugged, taking a bite out of my sandwich and closing my eyes to listen while I chewed.
Gotta decide
Whether or not you believe all those lies
Just take it from me
They've got a strangle hold on the way we sleep
And the sunrise paints the skies red with shame
And you wake up find the whole world's gone insane
But if you hide yourself away
Well I say, hey
You've only got yourself to blame
"He really is a good singer." I muttered to myself during a slight lull.
And tell me why
You dress the truth in a velvet disguise
Well take it from me
They got a strangle hold on the air we breathe
And the sunrise burns the sky red in shame
And you wake up to find the whole world's gone insane
But if you hide yourself away
Well I say, hey
You've only got yourselves to blame
This song could have been written for me... I mused.
Look at yourself, you've only got yourselves to blame
Well you think you walk on water,
I wanna tell you baby,
I can't stand to live inside your nightmare any more
You can spin your web of aesthetic dreams
But you'll never break me
You can never shake what I believe
What I believe, I believe
And the sunrise fills the sky full of rain
It'll hide the tears that wash away my pain
But if you hide yourself away
Well I say, hey
You've only got yourselves to blame
You've only got yourselves to blame
"I like this song." I mouthed to Riku, who nodded in return. He'd done the same as me.
Well you always knew
I wanna tell you baby
I can't stand to live inside your nightmare any more
I'm floating in a kaleidoscope of lies
I wanna break free
Cause its really scaring the hell outta me
Sora finished his song, smiled to himself, then took another bite.
"Hey Sora, could I talk to you over there for a minute?" Riku asked, surprising me.
"Sure." The two of them stood, heading off towards school. They stopped just far enough away for me not to hear, talked for a minute, then shook hands and laughed. I felt a twinge of envy.
I knew I was lying to them both, and knew I could never really fit in with them.
I sighed, returning to my lunch as the other two returned to the tree.

The song is 'Blame' by Translucent. I don't even own a CD with it on.
Anyway, I am sorry that I did another lazy song chapter, and I am happy to let you know that this will be the last chapter dedicated to a song. There will be a little singing from now on, but nothing as dominating as this or the previous ones.
