A/N: obviously I love Linkin Park. Most of my songfics are based off of one Linkin Park song or another.
Disclaimer: I do not own newsies, Linkin Park, or anything else for that matter…blah blah blah… Just don't sue.
Don't know who to trust
No surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust
And the lies
Nobody has been honest with me since the strike. I can't trust any of them anymore. They used to be my faithful followers, but now they seem like the are hiding something from me. Nobody ever just comes up and talks to me anymore.
Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how
Trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
I don't even know what I did to be shunned. every time I trust them, the betray me. I don't know how much longer I can do this before I need to run. I just need to get out of Brooklyn and away from my newsies. They are going to overthrow me. I can feel it.
I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear
For the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I put so much energy into trying to win their respect again, but its just too hard. I can't think of any headlines, so I don't sell much. I'm wasting all my money and I blame them.
Tension is building inside
Steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way
Out of me
They should just tell me and get it over with. This agony is too much to bear, so I'll just have to do it myself. Tonight I will tell them that they need to find another leader, because this one is leaving. For good.
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you
Waste myself on you
You
They're not worth this. They never had real respect for me. So I'm going to leave. Maybe I won't even tell them. Maybe I'll just hop a train tonight and get out of this fucking hell hole. There is no longer a Spot Conlon-Leader of Brooklyn.
A/N: we like? Let me know!
