No Way Out
Percy felt the whole world collapsed around him. His whole world collapsed around him. There was nothing left. Nothing left for him...
...they were all dead...
Percy blinked back tears, curling into a ball farther to block out the screams and sounds of torture. The same noises he heard when he was the one being tortured. He groaned, finally giving up.
"Everywhere I turn, I hurt someoneBut there's nothing I can say to change the things I've doneOf all the things I hid from you, I cannot hide the shame"
He couldn't go back. There was no going back...
"And I pray someone, something will come to take away the pain
There's no way out of this dark placeNo hope, no future"
Percy wished to go back. To save them.
"I know I can't be free and I can't see another wayI can't face another day
Tell me where, did I go wrong"
He curled up further, hoping someone would.
"Everyone I loved, they're all goneI'd do everything so differently but I can't turn back the time"
If only there was a way...
"There's no shelter from the storm inside of me
There's no way out of this dark placeNo hope, no future"
Percy would forever be trapped in Tartarus, no one knowing that he was still alive...
"I know I can't be free and I can't see another wayI can't face another day
I can't believe the words I hearIt's like an answer to a prayer"
The rest of the seven were dead...so were his mom and step-father...
"When I look around I seeThis place, this time, this friend of mine"
Percy sobbed. The cries echoing of the walls of the dark, damp, and cold cell he was in.
"I know it's hard but you found somehowTo look into your heart and to forgive me now"
Would they? He was the only one who lived, did they hate him for that?
"You've given me the strength to see just where my journey endsYou've given me the strength to carry on"
Percy shivered, closing his eyes. He could almost see them. To hear them.
"I see the path from this dark place, I see my futureYour forgiveness has set me free"
They had forgiven him, that's what they called out to him.
"Oh and I can see another wayI can face another day!"
Percy felt lighter. He felt himself float away.
"I see the path, I can see the pathI see the futureI see the path from this dark placeI see the future"
Percy got more and more lighter, but he could hear Tartarus and Gaea scream of rage. Percy didn't understand nor cared.
"I see the path from this dark placeI see the futureI can see theI can see the"
He relaxed, never moving again, as he was very home back with his family...
The song: No Way Out By Phil Collins.
If you have any questions, you can always ask me. If you have a song/storyline you want me to write (it could be both), feel free to tell me, I would love to hear them.
