Old Friend Book 3

Chapter #33

Chapter #33
Sam’s POV
Scarlett walks in the studio out off breath and red cheeks. “Baby what happened?” I ask worried. “She told me you were going to cook so I ran down the stairs two at a time.” Scarlett tells me. “I am sorry I just thought you might like to hear the song I didn’t think she would scare you awake.” I apologize. “It’s ok. I do like listening to your songs.” She smiles giving me a quick kiss before heading to the soundbooth with Sarah. “Ok Ma three two one go.” Sarah counts down.

“I am lø, this is who i am”
“A little fucked up, head stuck in the sand, yeah”
“Bad news for you and all your friends”
“A little bad luck has taught me how to stand”
“What did you expect?”
“Life has it's fingers 'round my neck”
“I can only speak out when it lets me”
“My voice is all that i have left now”
“It's taken my spirit”
“It's taken the words out of my mouth”
“I feel like i'm disappearing”
“And all i ever seem to say is-”
"when i was younger", it's pulling me closer”
“How can i live if i don't ever look up?”
“No comfort in wonder, stuck in a slumber”
“Something inside says i don't wanna wake up”
“Now i'm falling down to my knees and i think i'm going down, down with my demons”
“And i don't wanna wake up”
“I am lø, this is who i am”
“They say i'm fucked up so i guess i'll make a band”
“Just to tell the world that i'm uncomfortable in my skin”
“See how many people almost died to try to fit in”
“I was called a liability by every one of my friends”
“Too "this" too "that"
“Fuck you, i'll do everything that you can't”
“No more taking my spirit”
“I need change in my life, i need it now”
“Still i can't help but fear it”
“Cause all i ever seem to say is”
"when i was younger", it's pulling me closer”
“How can i live if i don't ever look up?”
“No comfort in wonder, stuck in a slumber”
“Something inside says i don't wanna wake up”
“Now i'm falling down to my knees and i think i'm going down, down with my demons!”
“So tell me!”
“Are you down, are you down with my demons?”
“They're the ones that feed you all these stories to believe in”
“I keep swimming out, swimming down to the deep end”
“Cause even thought i hate 'em, i still need 'em”
“Down to the deep end!”
“Down with my demons!”
“I am lø and this all started when i was younger”
“It's puling me under”
“How can i live if i don't ever look up?”
“No comfort in wonder, stuck in a slumber”
“Something inside says i don't wanna wake up”
“Now i'm falling down to my knees and i think i'm going down, down with my demons!”
“And i don't wanna wake up!”

I finish the song and I have to take a drink of water for my throat. “Hey so what did you think Baby?” I ask. “I love it. What’s this one?” She says pointing to my check list. “Oh that one isn’t done yet. But you guys will be the first to hear it I promise.” I say as Benny enters the studio. “Hey sorry I’m late my car was giving me trouble.” He says picking Elizabeth up out of her rocker. “It’s ok I was able to record ‘Down with My Demons’.” I tell him. “Oh yeah that’s good.” He says not really paying attention to anyone but the infant in his arms he is such a good uncle and the kids love him just as much as he loves them. “After we record ‘Hate You’ I can take a look at your car.” I tell him. “Mh hm. Who’s a little cutie pie? You are, yes you are.” He coos, making Elizabeth giggle. “Benny give me my daughter and go set up.” I say taking Elizabeth and he pouts but goes and gets set up. “Your Uncle Benji is a goof ball isn’t he? Yeah you agree.” I say tickling her stomach, making her laugh. “Ok well Mama has to record a song ok. Do you want Mommy or your rocker?” I ask and she reaches for Scarlett. “Did she understand what I asked?” I say shocked. “Maybe we have a little genius on our hands all our kids are geniuses.” Scarlett says taking Elizabeth she is such a happy baby she gets that from her Mommy.

“This will be the last song”
“I ever write about you”
“Guess it's the only way left to communicate”
“You never listened to my music anyway”
“Look at me now”
“Such a pitiful place”
“You found someone”
“I thought that'd help erase”
“These crazy thoughts that we were never broken”
“You can't see red flags with rose colored glasses”
“I hate that I miss you”
“I hate that I'm lost”
“I hate those dead flowers you taped to your wall”
“I hate that you're okay and I can't move on”
“I hate that somehow this is all my fault”
“I hate that I'm wide awake watching the door”
“I hate these long showers sitting on the floor”
“I hate in the end it was me who was wrong”
“I hate that I don't really hate you at all”
“I killed you in my head now”
“If I see you out with friends”
“I'll just tell me self that it's a phantom or illusion”
“Guess I haven't chosen which”
“Look at me now”
“Such a pitiful place”
“You found someone”
“I thought that'd help erase”
“These crazy thoughts that we were never broken”
“You can't see red flags with rose colored glasses”
“I hate that I miss you”
“I hate that I'm lost”
“I hate those dead flowers you taped to your wall”
“I hate that you're okay and I can't move on”
“I hate that somehow this is all my fault”
“I hate that I'm wide awake watching the door”
“I hate these long showers sitting on the floor”
“I hate in the end it was me who was wrong”
“I hate that I don't really hate you at all”
“But I kind of wish I did”
“I don't really hate you at all”

“That was raw.” Scarlett tells me after we are finished. “Yeah Tina really did a number on him. What do you want to do for our anniversary tomorrow?” I ask. “Stay in and do nothing.” Scarlett says. “That we can do. Then we have little man’s birthday.” I say. “I know he’s going to be five already.” She says. “Are you talking about me?” He asks. “Yes we were talking about how you are getting so big so fast.” I tell him giving him a hug. “Oh I have to post this.” I say remembering it’s time for a meme.
