Greg couldn't stop monitoring the webcam, but he needed to go home, so he set the site up on his laptop. He sat on his couch, his head in his hands, and thought about how to help as he watched. Tara had found a radio near her, and she tuned to a station nearby and started singing along to keep herself busy and occupied.
"You're too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape, You can't escape
You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one's seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape,
You don't want to escape
I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper but you can't even hear me screaming
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape, you don't want to escape."
Greg listened sadly to the depressing lyrics she sang and knew why she had picked that station. The lyrics were telling him exactly how she felt. The next song was even less promising.
"long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here
when all this time i've been so hollow inside
i know you're still there
watching me, wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you, loving you
i won't let you pull me down
hunting you i can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head
watching me, wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
saving me, raping me
watching me
watching me, wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you, loving you
i won't let you pull me down"
Greg jumped out of his chair when he realized something. He could zoom in on the frequency, find the station, and make an announcement to her over the radio! He grabbed his laptop as he got his keys and raced out to his car. He put the laptop in the passenger seat so he could monitor it. He did a quick address search on the internet and got a phone number and address to the station. He grabbed his cellphone as he started the engine and pulled his car out. He decided to request song's that would hopefully send a message that help was on the way for Tara.
He dialed his phone while driving, and a female voice answered.
"91.8 WROX. How may I help you?", the young voice said happily.
"Yeah, hi. I'd like to request a song.", Greg said a little too sharply.
"Ok, but we are having an Evanescence marathon to advertise their tour, so it must be Evanescence.", the voice responded, not even noticing Greg's attitude.
"Yea, ok. I'll request, um, Taking Over Me. That OK?", he said hurriedly.
"Would you like to add a message to thet sir?"
"Yes. Say, this is for Tara from Greg, and Tara needs to listen to the lyrics closely."
"Thank you for choosing 91.-", the woman started, but hung up and cut her off.
"We just got a request from a Greg to Tara, he says listen to the lyrics closely.", the woman said over the radio. The song started, and Greg had turned the station on on his car's tuner. The music flooded his car with sound, and the promising lyrics filled his mind with determination.
"you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do...
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
have you forgotten all i know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand
i knew you loved me then
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
i look in the mirror and see your face
if i look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over"
