Song-shots (Welcome to the statehouse)

9/11🌪

TW: The song is literally 'Pumped Up Kicks' and the title is 9/11, guns, fire, bad pacing and just overall, not the best storyline... You've been warned

It was September 11th 2007, six years after the 9/11 attacks, this time he was at a friend's house, his name was Tucker. There was always something off with him, but York dismissed it, well until he found the basement.

Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan

There was a safe, but it wasn't locked, carefully opened it, what he saw in there terrified him.

He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah

Guns, that didn't scare him alone, but the bombs that were inside with all of the hijacking gear.

He found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you

The recipes inside were from September 3rd, 2001. "No..." he muttered, in a fit of rage York grabbed the gun running upstairs.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

The revolver in his shaking hands, his breath felt heavy as he made sure it was loaded fully, before taking it to Tuckers' head.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

He pulled the trigger, and his body clambered to the ground, blood pooling out of his body, York's mind was nothing, like a bullet was through it.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

He didn't seem to notice he was walking around the street, loaded gun in his hands, not until he shot at someone too close.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

Screams erupted as the man's body collapsed, chaos ensued, people running everywhere, bullets flying, the body's falling, blood pooling...

Daddy works a long day
He'd be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice

"Please, I have a family," one man cried, another woman crying as her blood ran. Police sirens were on their way, closing in.

I've waited for a long time
Yeah, the sleight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say, "your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah"

A gas leak lay on the road, he shot at it, fire, hot mesmerising fire, his blood ran cold,

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

He couldn't trust anyone, it was possible to hijack another plane and try to hit the White House or the pentagon and he would never let that happen when he could stop it.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

Then and only then did reality hit him, so many of these people didn't have anything to do with 9/11 so many of them had families and he killed them.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

Then raising the gun to his temple people tried to get him to put the gun down officers told him to drop the weapon, and he pulled the trigger...

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

then he was back, seeing as he couldn't die. But when you die if you take your own life you have to relive the worst thing your state went through, and for New York, that was 9/11.

Run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run
Run, run
Run, run, run

And he was back watching the towers fall, collapse but he couldn't move, as the second tower fell, it came back worse than ever.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

He was ejected from the first building, while it collapsed he was thrown out, it didn't take long before his body was found his body barely showing any signs of life.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

his brother had found him Massachusetts stayed with him until help arrived, and when it did he still stayed by his side, he swore to never leave when someone was in dire need of help.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

Even when the smoke cloud came round the corner killing dozens Massachusetts stayed by his brothers' side. New Jersey had sent boats to save people trapped on the island, saving half a million people.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

Connecticut helped put people in buildings to save them from the smoke and ash clouds, Maine, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and even Maryland helped fight fires still blazing in the rubble and around.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Outrun my gun

New Hampshire, Delaware, and surprisingly New Jersey (not only helping with boats) helped get people into ambulances and hospitals. Massachusetts and Delaware took New York to a hospital as well.

All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run
Faster than my bullet

That day had been hell but had given New York a reason to keep living and helped bring people together to help each other, though sad how many people had died during such events.

Hallo! (German for hello)

Yes this story is about 9/11 which was a truly devastating day costing thousands their lives. I mainly wrote about this because nit many people seem to know about BOATLIFT which saved thousands of lives in New York.
