You hear that starting note and suddenly, everything comes to a stop, a calm rushes in before a storm. It's the kind of silence after someone dies. It hurts. You know what your about to feel. But you accept it. Misery and hurt in the form of beauty. You hear the opening vocals. And you think of everyone you've ever loved, then everyone you've ever lost. And your heart swells. It feels like your so lost and yet so surrounded. As you get to that beautiful chorus where all the instruments join in and suddenly. Your flying. A brief second but it's there. And you think of everyone you left behind. New schools. New town. What you've learned. What you've lost. What you've loved. What you've lived. It all comes at you in waves your somehow prepared for and not all at once. Tears form and you accept it. There is no more fight. And suddenly you give in. Suddenly the music dulls and Gerard quietly fades into quiet, repeating the same thing. And yet it all sounds different each time. More and more dying inside ad you listen. And then, barely, you hear it. "The light behind your, eyes"
