Jonothon
Jonothon flicked his fingers over his guitar's strings, brooding. Unhealthy, but without Bek...he wasn't feeling much like laughing.
"Drowning in this darkness within
Trapped by skin, trapped in sin
Tell me I exist, because I feel like Alice
Dreaming I'm alive in the Red King's dream
I've driven the nail into my hand
I've fallen, I've flown, I'm drowning
You're like a memory on my skin
A fantasy on my fingertips
Yeah, yeah, baby, take me home
Invite the darkness inside your door
Dead man walking, I've risen from my grave
Born full scale burning from the pits of hell
Copper salty crimson aqua vitae
A world of lies, your illusion torn
My life is an atonement for a sin I didn't commit
Moon howling, wolf song, get your lunar groove on
The beast inside, the fury within
Sitting behind innocent eyes
The world is a stage, life's a movie
And everyone wants to be a superstar
I'm living death through the night
Breathe into me, bring me to life
Amber eyes, growls, fangs and hisses
Smothering blackness in blood wet kisses..."
Jonothon's fingers flew across the pages of paper and his guitar as he wrote and played his songs.
"The darkness inside, it feeds within
A hole so deep, it swallows you whole
A despair so black, you trip and drown
A life so bleak, you bleed from your wrists
I know what it feels like, feels like this
Life so fucked up you can't imagine anything else
This is the norm, the normal existence
Shattering glass, black eyes and late night trips to a doc
I know what it feels like, feels like this
A scream inside aching to get out
Burning your throat, making you soul sick
Anger wrapped draconine curls around your heart
I know what it feels like, feels like this
And I'm falling, falling once again
I don't know my friends
Sitting looking at peaceful smiling death
I know what it feels like, feels like this
Existence slipping through my fingers
Time's running out like whisky from the bottle
Everything's fucked up beyond all recognition, situation normal
I know what it feels like, feels like this..."
He flexed his burning, cramping hands and kept going.
"Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You wonder why the night's so dark
You can't see within
And light is lost inside
But I see
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Look within, look without
Say it loud and say it long
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My darkness crawls within..."
He wrote down a long instrumental bridge to go between this verse and the next.
"It's a long winding road
And it's vicious in the night
I wonder if you'll follow me
It's a fortune pestilence, take me elsewhere baby
Shoopidibewoop, shoopidibewoop, shoopbediwoo
Complicit in the darkness
Shoopidibewoop, shoopidibewoop, shoopbediwoo
Take me, you won't have no competition
Dark night blossoms, shoopidibewoop, shoo
Blood red blossoms, ah, ah, ah
Tangled like stars in your midnight hair
I don't want to, oh take me elsewhere, baby..."
Jonothon rolled his head on his neck and something cracked rather horribly.
"My life is drifting away on angel wings
Obsidian feathers gleaming midnight bright
Angel wings fly me into sleep so deep
I'll drown in inky darkness bleak
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
This sky's full of glittering angel lights
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
And I'm drifting away on angel wings
My guardian angel kept good care of me
Through all the dark and lonely years
But now I've passed through her shield
And I'm finally moving on, slipping through angel wings
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
This sky's full of glittering angel lights
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
And I'm drifting away on angel wings
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
This sky's full of glittering angel lights
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
And I'm drifting away on angel wings
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido
Shoopibedewoop, shoopibedewoop, shoobido..."
