Collision

this party went from wild to insane i swear as soon and Colson walked in. we were walking through the house to find the kitchen when 8 got stopped by Gerald (g-eazy). "hey ma you look fine as fuck" he said. "not interested fuck boy" i said. "the fuck you call me?" he asked getting in my face. "i'd get outta my face before myself or my man kicks your ass" i said. he looked over at Colson who was smirking and then back at me. "my bad" he said and walked away. i laughed and started walking towards the kitchen with Colson again. "Phoenix!" i heard someone yell and i looked over seeing Ashley (Halsey). "hey girlie" i said smiling. i did like her. i know they have a past but she's a good person. "so i wanted to talk to you about a song i'm doing. i want you on the main part honestly. you have the perfect voice for it" she said. i'm still confused on why all these people are in Cleveland but whatever. "of course. i'll be free tomorrow actually" i said with a smile. "that's perfect. i'll text you tomorrow" she said and hugged me. i hugged her back and she sent a small smile at Colson. "hey Ash you know i don't care if y'all are friends right?" i asked. "i know but out of respect for you i try to keep it minimal" she said with a genuine smile. "well thank you" i said and she nodded. she walked back into the sea of people and started dancing. "let's party babe" Colson said and i smiled. i took the shot of Vodka he handed me and we went into the sea of people. i missed letting loose once in a while.

i woke up to my phone ringing. i groaned and looked at it. it was Ashley. "hello?" i asked. "hey miss hangover" she said. "shut up" i said laughing. "if you wanna come over around two to work on the song you can" she said. i looked at the time and saw it was noon. i forgot she had a house out here honestly. "yea that works send me the addy" i said. we continued talking and then i hung up so i could shower and eat something before i left. i took a shower and ate some food then headed out over to Ashley's. she was about ten minutes away so it wasn't far. i knew my way around Cleveland so i got there with using my gps somehow. "okay it's a sad song. like a really sad song. it's called Background of Your Movie. it's not what it sounds like but you'll get it once you read the lyrics" she said. "it just sounds sad by the title" i said. she nodded and we walked into her little recording studio. the fun begins.

Phoenix, Halsey, both

smoked out in the back of a black cab
fading in and out of high and low
keeping the facade for those around
don't open up the blinds don't let them see

every time something good comes around it runs away just as fast as it came
it's just a little bit funny
it's just a little bit funny
keeping on a painted face
trying not to die in the background of your movie

smoked out in the back of a black cab
fading in and out of high and low
keeping the facade for those around
don't open up the blinds don't let them see

love goes as fast as it comes
keeping up with everyone's life on the internet
losing grip of the edge of the water
trying to keep circles happy with my own decisions
trying not to lose myself in the background of your movie

smoked out in the back of a black cab
fading in and out of high and low
keeping the facade for those around
don't open up the blinds don't let them see

it's okay to be hurt but when i show it's bad
losing will to live each second that goes by that we fight
i died a little the day you started leaving
fighting to keep everyone happy while dying inside
bloody blades lay on the bathroom sink
rivers of crimson red lie on arms and thighs
keep the painted face
trying not to die in the background of your movie
