A/n- Ok so I made a mistake. Don Henley originally wrote the Boys of
Summer, but the Ataris did a cover of it last year. Sorry for any
confusion. Ok just because a character is dead or missing in one chapter
doesn't mean there dead. These are one-shots.
Disclaimer: I still don't own School of Rock, or Numb by Linkin Park. I
only own 10 cents and lint. Hey! Where are you going with my dime?

On with the chapter!
Chapter 4: Feeling Numb
(Marta POV)
It's the same thing every single day. I get up and my parents are yelling
at me, I eat breakfast, and they're yelling. I get home from school and
they're yelling. I can't take it anymore.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
(Marta)
It doesn't matter what I do, they still yell. Be like this, act like this,
do this, do that. They want me to be like them. I don't want to.
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
(Marta)
I want to be myself. But they don't want that. They want me to be a
classical music loving stiff like my sisters. Not gonna happen anytime
soon. I want to be an individual.
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 undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
(Regular)
Marta's parents were big on control. Their daughters Marta, Rebecca and
Claire all had to be alike. Listening to classical music, identical
haircuts, and matching outfits. Or that's the way things should have been,
and they were until Dewey Finn came along.
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
(Marta)
I don't care anymore. I just don't care.
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
(Marta)
You used to be like me. Just like me.
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've 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
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
(Marta)
Hopefully one day you'll change. One day soon.
