TRIGGER WARNING (MENTIONS OF GUN VIOLENCE)

Give it to them mother fucker!

Sodo stood center stage, hitting the iconic Square Hammer riff, the crowd goes crazy.

Rain walks over to his left, they do their iconic lean

I come from the right, a job usually meant for my boyfriend, Aether.

We stomp in unison, pyrotechnics flying, crowd screaming, then here comes Papa IV, blue sequined suit and all. The sooner the show ends the better. Hospital visitation hours are limited and I promised.

Living in the Night...'Neath devils torn asunder

That was always his favorite to play, a simple two chord down strum in unison with the band. Simple, together, lovely, the things he adored about touring with this group of people.

You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme

I wish he could take his spot back. I wish the bananas people gave me at meet and greets would be accepted by him. I wish he were here.

As I'm closing in...Imposing on your slumber

"Come on Y/N perform for the crowd. Make him proud. Make them feel like they got the best show they did even without him here" my mind screamed at my pitiful state, walking around the stage, nodding to Swiss, messing with Sodo, you knew he would be proud of you for kicking his ass in the guitar riff off and throwing more than five picks at him,

You call on me as bells begin to chime

Alright here we go, first chorus, almost done,

Are you on the Square?

Are you on the Level?

Are you ready to swear right here right now before the Devil?

Right here

Hiding from the light

Oh Satan. Why do I feel like this? I can't breathe. I can't see. It's not because of the mask, but I feel claustrophobic

Sacrificing Nothing

That bastard did. He sacrificed nothing but I had to sacrifice my everything.

Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine

Hammering the nails

Oh no. His favorite line. Y/N stop crying. Stop it, just play. Play and perform

Into a sacred coffin

Don't think of coffins. He'll be fine. Aether will be okay.

Are you on the square?

Are you on the level?

Come on move. You've been standing and staring off. Okay just stare at the cameras, they'll make a thirst trap out of it.

Are you ready to swear right here right now before the Devil?

"Hey, y/n are you okay?" Sodo walked over, and whispered it into your mask,
