I do not own the Walking Dead or Linkin Park
Sorry that it's a short chapter.
Radiance
Chapter 7: Paranoid
First POV (Tyler)
Later that evening, I had to do something while everyone else asleep. I stayed in my demon form for this endeavor. I felt a pinch of a pain as the needle slowly entered the skin. I pulled it out and stopped the bleeding. I looked at the grey substance in the vial as I turned back to normal. I started singing quietly to myself as I set everything up.
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I poured a minimal amount of the blood sample onto the table. I then grabbed a different vial which contained red infected blood. I poured just a drop into the grey blood and observed.
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
And watches everything
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
I watched as the grey blood expelled the infected blood.
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun
I feel the light betray me
The sun
I feel the light betray me
I examined the grey blood closely.
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
There was no trace of the infection left.
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
Could this be the answer? I had to know for sure. I poured the grey blood into the needle vial. I stayed in my normal state and injected myself. Now, that it is was in my bloodstream, I had to test it. Time to take a risk.
