2: Caught by the River
Holy shit. His head throbbed like a mother. Seth had no idea where he was. That's what alcohol binges do to a person. He thought he would have developed a better resistance to the stuff as much as he drank, but he still felt shitty every time. He felt something shift beside him and turned to see a brunette splayed out over the other side of the bed. Damn, what was her name? Whatever, it's not like he'd ever see her again.
He slowly lowered himself off the bed, as to not wake her up, I mean, he still had a little bit of courtesy to his one night stand. Or maybe he just didn't want her to be like, "Call me soon?" and have to lie openly to her face. He slipped on his pants and shirt and silently slipped out of the hotel room.
Getting his Porsche from the valet, he sat in the parking lot for a while before shifting into gear. Another drunken night, another drunken model/actress/whatever, another morning filled with remorseful thoughts. Well, sometimes he felt really bad, but today, he only felt a slight tinge of sadness. He wondered when his life turned into a 24 hour alcohol festival; when he stopped caring. When he lost faith. When he lost his innocence. Actually, he remembered the exact moment, the exact millisecond, but he didn't want to. But no matter now much he tried to put everything in his past in it's rightful place back there, he couldn't. His past haunted him everyday and it would continue to, until he could rectify the situation…which was never.
He sped off onto Sunset, not looking back. There was no time for thoughts like this anymore. That's right. To all of the nay nay-sayers and bullies who had called him worthless and gay, he was now someone. He had a multimillion dollar mansion now. He had the sports cars and girlfriends other people killed for. He couldn't wait to show everyone what he had done with his life. What he had become. And what he had become was a very important person. In fact, he was the big shot now. And he had a television show to go shoot.
Son what have you done?
You're caught by the river
You're coming undone
Life you know it can't be so easy
But you can't just leave it
'Cause you're not in control no more
And you give it all away
Would you give it all away now?
Don't let it come apart
Don't want to see you come apart
Son what are you doing?
You learned a hard lesson
When you stood by the water
You and I were so full of love and hope
Would you give it all up now?
Would you give in just to spite them all?
And you give it all away
Would you give it all away now?
Don't let it come apart
Don't want to see you come apart
Cause you give it all away
And you give it all away now
Don't let it come apart
Don't want to see you come apart
Lay, I lay in the long grass
So many people
So many people pass
Stay, stay here and lie on back
Get down in the cornfields
Stay till we're caught at last
Give it all away
Give it all away
Don't let it come apart
Don't want to see you come apart
Caught by the River by the Doves
