Jono
Jonothon let his hands flow over the strings of his guitar, eyes distant as he thought. He always thought better when he played. No matter what it was.
His idle strumming of nothing in particular flowed into a song.
"How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground I'm walking on
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in
her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to
breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to
breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in
her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to
breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to
breathe
Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold..."
He paused for a moment, then started in on a song he'd written.
"In the morning
I turn over
The indent of your head in the pillow
Your perfume clinging to the sheets
They're still warm
But you're already gone
Washed the scent of me away
Washed away my touch
Washed away the shared darkness we've loved in
Washed away my love for you
Some things you can't carry through the day
I belong to your night, illict kisses in the dark
And not your day, oh no, not me
You don't want anyone to know
What we two do
Shamed, you turn away
And all I can is watch you leave
Watch you from afar
My heart shredded in your gaze
Live for the moments we share in the dark
When you pretend you love me, and all I do is love you
Wash me away
Wash the darkness and the unholy sweat from your skin
Never believe I love you truly
Or that I could live in light of day
Wash me away, watch me disappear down the drain
Wash me away
Wash your soul clean of me
While I linger in the dark
And wait for you
Wash, oh, wash me away
Wash me away
Wash my lonely love struck tears away..."
Then another, fingers starting to hurt but on a roll and not wanting to stop.
"Dance with me
The flames are reaching high
Dance with me
The world is burning
Dance, dance, dance
Girl, spin your skirt high as we two dance
I'll stand here with you
While we watch the world burn
Dance with me
I'm burning
The flames reaching over my head
And I'm drowning in the heat
Drown with me while we dance, love
It's getting hotter now
Watch the world burn with me
Dance with me
It's the end of the world as we know it
Play Nero with me
Dance, dance the dances of a burning world
It's lost behind us in the flames
All there is, is me and you in the ashes
Oh, dance, girl, dance
Dance with me on the ashes of the world
Dying all around as we dance
Press against me, burn me
We're dancing, burning, drowning, dying..."
