I. Humming insensitivities
spitting sin
spouting rhymes
and crying
liar,
liar,
city in flames
II. You say what
you mean to say
is
that it never meant anything,
but
everything to
her
to you
it's only what it's
not
III. In that light
or lack there of
she can almost be beautiful
but in this light
firelight
she could almost be
dead
IV. Time travels
like light
fast
like light
like time
travelers
work like clocks
like time
time
like relativity
relativity
like reality
is like
time
V. Love?
Slang, it's but
slang
for the
stitches you'll need
for the
(scars?) Pain
it's more broad, try it next
try it now
Pain
(it's too good)
at least
you're numb with the
cold
eyes
smolder
heated
eyes
hate
VI. Run for the hills
and
come back and forth
when your head
stops (spinning?)
Doubting it
is nothing more
or less
than
what the years
had in store
for you
for me
VII. The old sound of
retribution
revenge
so full of music
the sound of
one song while the walls cave in
sing it the sound
sing it the truth
sing it the word
revenge
like
time
.

Oh bajeez, I was home sick today, I wrote more foolish nonsense. Wow, really, Evie, when am I not sick?
There are only a million and five song references in here. And I keep forgetting to mention all of the previous references that no one caught . . .
Chapter six: Title reference to a movie. C'mon, guys!
Chapter seven . . . Well, the title is from The Academy Is . . .'s The Phrase that Pays, my fault for not mentioning that one.
Blehh. There are probably more. Did I mention Thank You For the Venom for chapter six? Mhmmm.
Well, whatever.
Aching throats and Advil,
Nikki
