Eleven

I led Lacey into the bathroom and grabbed some peroxide and medical Band-Aids, from underneath the counter, and set them on top of the counter.

I put her forearm under the cold, running water, to clean out any bacteria. 

I gently wiped around the cut, and put peroxide in it, just to make sure it doesn't get infected.

I grabbed the medical Band-Aids and wraps it around her arm, multiple times, so there's no excessive bleeding.

" Now that that's done, you're gonna tell me why you did this. You know, I don't want you to hurt yourself because you're destroying yourself and people that surround you" I say, as I lay down on Lacey's bed.

"I'm sorry. I..just..I'm weak" She cries into her pillow.

"It's okay. We all are sometimes. You're strong and I know that. You know that I'm not good at singing, but I can play guitar. I'm going to play 2 songs for you, so, once you figure them out, sing along"

I grab the guitar, from the corner of the room and starts playing.

As soon as I start play, she know what song it is; A Match Into Water

" Let's go!

I kissed the scars on her skin

I still think you're beautiful

And I don't ever wanna lose my best friend.

I screamed out, "God, you vulture (you vulture),

Bring her back or take me with her."

Tear it down, break the barricade

I want to see what sound it makes

I hate this flavor with a passion and I fucking hate the aftertaste

How does it feel? (How does it feel?)

How does it feel? Well it feels like I'm on fire!

Wake up, I know you can hear me.

Make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave

Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way

The chemicals will bring you home again

This is it, when it's done, we can say that,

When it's sudden death we fight back

(Oh, yeah)

Pretend like I don't entice you

I've seen you circling the sky above my head

You traitor

I will never be taken for granted again

Keep digging holes in the desert

Say a prayer for you

I know that you're in pain

But if we die at the same time does it still scare you?

Make me a promise here tonight. Let's go!

Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way

The chemicals will bring you home again

This is it, when it's done, we can say that,

Oh my God we're not gonna make it

We will bring the tidal wave

We will bring the tidal wave
