It was already coming to be 6ish, so everyone got better and fixed up and headed to another buss who was gonna take us, our bus when to a bus stop so Chris and John got a room downstairs.

"Comon, all your stuff is loaded and already on the buss that you need" John says, getting everyone on.

"Fuck cliff, Michael are you guys high?" Chris says, cliff and micheal nodd, looking out the window.

I sit by myself looking outside, hopeing to have a goodnight, i always do its just the worry of it that overcomes me.
....

We get to the place, I go to where they had my guitar, my sweet lilly purple and white guitar. I loved it so much, I mean I did name it lilly.

I start to turn it to the right pitch and i realize we are going first, I mean it's great but scary at the same time. "What do we start with?" Sydney asks, looking at the sheet list, "death till dawn, I think" Chris says, Sydney nodds and goes back to pratcing her vocals and hands for playing rythem guitar.

I practice a few songs to warm up and then it's called for 3 minutes till we are on, I grab lilly and me and Sydney go first, then Charles and micheal right behind us.

Fuck me and lilly still have the shirts on.

"You're gonna get laughed at" micheal whispers before going on, "thanks captain obvious" I whisper back, getting on that stage worried me, seeing everyone cheer made me happier, more excited.

"After yall ready for some rock and roll?!" Sydney yells, everyone cheering, getting everyone started up and ready, we start with "death till dawn"

Death till dawn you waked
Strings in your death take opon the puppets of your mind

Take your love and throw it at the sun, dead til dawn maybe, but death till dawn, dawn till death.

I lost my fucking mind
Masters of death
Bats flutter my brain when you get along my mind.

Dawn did you no hope, you never woke.
South roads take a toll on someone you love.

Watch the roads, don't drive down till dawn.
With strings pulling your puppets.
They don't care, they want you to gone.

Death till dawn
Death till dawn

I always zone out, they song never made perfect sense you always had to watch how she sung it, half about our dad's, half about drugs, how they died, lovers, a bit of everything.

You were fucked
We're so fucked
You destroyed our loved ones,
We can't destroy you.

I never asked for nothing of the less.
Never say death till dawn, cus death till dawn is death forever.

Watch the roads, don't drive down till dawn.
With strings pulling your puppets,
They don't care, they Want you gone.

Death till dawn, for ever death till dawn.

The song made me cry, me and sydneys dad said they'd be back by dawn, that night they crashed because of how much drugs they had, they went off the road and flipped, it was horrific.

The solos in the song made me zone it, pull it together, I loved and hated that song so much.

It was a 5 minute song, with the raging singing, the start and ending with the beats, ((the fuck do you call em)) i loved performing after all.
....

Almost done with the opening, which lasted a good hour and a half which was a lot for an opening one. We finally played our 7 minute song, dead lovers.
Obviously starting with the the beats, ((idk)), I loved this song and the parts I had in it, the guitar solo in the middle made me happy, starting with the drums and base to at the start and end pulled ir together.

I was happy, whyd you leave so soon?
You left, I didn't understand why.
I thought you were selfish, maybe only I was.
You took yourself away, why?

I was so young.
I hated myself, you.

You took yourself away, why?
My brain took over

Fuck you, fuck you.

I was happy, you left to soon.
You took my heart with you, I gave you my all

Was it not enough? Is it ever enough.

My part of it comes on, God am I in the zone now, ever then before I say, I loved it, a 1 and half in the solo, happy to say the least.

What happend to you
I was happy, whyd you leave?

Can't even call you, you won't answer,
Why?

Because your a dead lover.
The why's, how's, what's came on my mind when I found out you left.

You left to soon, why?
Dead lovers, I thought I wouldn't have to say that, but now I say it.

I have your memory everywhere I go.
I was happy, you were happy

Or so I thought.

Poor Charles, he had a wonderful girl in highschool, but she killed herself, nobody knows why, only a letter to Charles writing "we will meet again my love", he hated it, he blamed himself.

His drums became louder, i could tell he was mad, poor thing.

God took people to soon from everyone.

So uh, I don't know what to call anything like beats or sum? I kinda suck at doing that and getting lyrics but imagine it however!
