Jonathan stood in the center of the stage, waiting for the song to start. His brother, Luke, was managing the songs, but Jonathan managed to get his friend Evan to pull him away long enough to play the song he wanted. He wore a knee-length baby blue dress, long white gloves, and a powdery blue wig. No shoes were present on his feet and a matching baby blue purse hung from his shoulder. Jonathan had arranged this little show to provide an inside to his life with his mother, father and brother. His face was ironically painted into a clown who sported a big smile.
Evan ran by and gave him a quick hug to encourage him through the show. Once he was out of sight, Jonathan took a deep breath before he heard the music start. He laid down on the ground and the curtains raised up. He let out a giant smile when he noticed his parents in the front row, holding hands, making an appearance for the public like a "perfect family" would. The first verse came by and he started singing,
Hey girl, open the walls, play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family.
When you walk away, it's when we really play
You don't hear me when I say,
Mom, please wake up.
Dad's with a slut, and your son is smoking cannabis
Photographs start falling from the ceiling with the help of two more of Jonathan's friends, Arlan and Lui, who were walking around the catwalk silently. The photos show different scenes ranging from the different women that Ryan, more well known by his nickname Ohm, had been sleeping with to different times Luke had been caught smoking cannabis. Jonathan is up and walking around the stage in the dress and wig by now. The look of shock that quickly replaced Ryan's face as the photos came down. Bryce let go of his hand and turned away in shame and sadness at the sight.
No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens
Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen.
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces.
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains.
David and Brian, two more of Jonathan's well known friends, hand out magazine cut outs of the family's achievements and hand them around. The rest of the audience begins to murmur and compare the two pictures handed out so far. This brings out a big smile on Jonathan's face as he walks down the stairs on the side of the stage. He slowly moves towards his parents and grabs their hands trying to pull them on stage, but he feels resistance. A wild smile flashes on Jonathan's face before he forcefully pulls both of them up from their seat.
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains.
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees.
(D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees)
Luke walks in to find his parents being seated in the middle of the stage by his...brother? Confusion runs through the older sibling's mind as he sees the panicked looks that his parents give him. The confusion only grows even more when he is dragged up the stage and placed next to his father who gives him a grim grimace. Bryce tries to hold in tears when the camera's flash lights up the stage even further than the spotlight can. Jonathan sways his hips to the haunting melody and he signals Brock and Marcel to stop the cameras. The flashes die down just in time for the next verse to come up.
Hey girl, look at my mom, she's got it going on
Ha, you're blinded by her jewelry.
When you turn your back she pulls out a flask
And forgets his infidelity.
Uh-oh, she's coming to the attic, plastic
Go back to being plastic.
