I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left's a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more
I'm riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it's better I can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody's listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody's listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody's listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody's listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody's listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody's listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobody's listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody's listening)
Lana managed (barely), to get herself up the stairs and into what used to be Sirius' room. She fell onto the bed with exhaustion. Feeling under the pillow, she pulled out a black shirt that Sirius used to wear. It still smelled like him, and this comforted her.
Sirius lay on the cold marble floor of the DOM. He slowly came to his senses. Part of his sight was obscured by his long dark hair. He moved his hand to push it out of the way and realised his arm felt like it was made of lead. Come to think of it, he was on a solid floor. Quickly, he pushed himself up from lying down and sat on his knees. He looked around him, his breath held in his chest. Exhaling slowly, not believing his eyes, Sirius looked around him. As his eyes saw the Veil, he stood up and moved away quickly.
"Hate that thing..." he said to himself, wondering how the hell he was going to get out of the Ministry Headquaters without being caught. He had no way of telling if it was day or night - not that it would help, he thought miserably. The Talisman in his hand did nothing - it was a simple Rune of the Chain of Life. Sirius realised this as he stared at it, and suddenly became very angry with Lana. He wasn't sure what it did, but seeing as its name was the Chain of Life, he figured it had something to do with him being back against his will.
He wondered if his Animagus form would still fool anyone. No harm in trying, he thought. Actually, theres a lot, he re-considered. If he could just get to Kingsleys office...Or Lana's, he thought...But no, she wouldn't be there. Or she might. Workaholic and all. He knew that there were a few people in the Aurors office that knew he was innocent. But if they didn't know about what Lana did, how would he explain it?
"Well I wondered if you would re-appear," came a deep voice from behind Sirius. He turned around to see someone that he recognised, although he wasn't sure where from. His brow creased and his mind raced as he tried to figure out whether this man was a threat or not.
"Oh don't worry, I'm not a threat," the old man said. "I'm here to help. Do something right by Lana."
Sirius found that his memory was a little hazy, and he couldn't quite place this man. But seeing as Sirius seemed to have an inbuilt lie detector since the days of the First War, it seemed to him like the man was telling the truth.
"I can get you directly to wherever you want to go. Any place at all. Safely." the man said, shuffling on his feet nervously.
"Okay." Sirius answered, indicating for the man to lead the way.
As Lana lay on the bed, she dreamt that she was walking in darkness. The surroundings felt familiar, but she couldn't be sure where because she couldn't see. A roaring sound was all around her, although it didn't un- nerve her in the slightest, even when it came whipping around her and began glowing a bright white, then changed into a tube and slammed itself into her chest.
She awoke, sweaty and drained. Moving slowly over to the mirror that wad fixed to the back of the door, she was shocked at her appearance. She was white as the sheet she had wrapped around her, her face had a sort of wax appearance, with sweat running down it.
Something was terribly wrong.
Sirius stood in front of the grate with Floo Powder in his hand. He threw it in, stood in the green flames and shouted - "Master bedroom, 12, Grimmauld Place."
