They smile at each other from the opposite ends of the room. I pull on my skirt as I watch them carefully put up a blanket over both stereos and hold a remote closely to their hands'. So far they have agreed to these rules:
One song from each album they own
They must put all of their CD's in the stereo and play it via remote
They must cover the stereos by a blanket curtain
At least a minute of each song must be listened to
The owner of each CD is kept secret ( because Sage said I'd just pick Edmund's)
" Okay, the songs are ready." Sage says grinning. I smile at them as I hear the first one play. Edmund smiles at me as well as I hear the lyrics start.
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
I smile at them and pat my tights with the beat as they stop the songs. I look up at them as the second song starts playing.
Lips bleed from the rings
All these little bruises, the little things
That promote the segregation, lead to separation
Cage and clip the wings
Little noises, the little screams
That start the operation, conscious amputation
Just do what you do what you do what you did to me
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere
With nothing, with no one
Just do what you do what you do what you done to me
Draw the chalk like around the scene it's over
Now it's all over
I smile as the music stops. I slowly take off the headphones and look at each of them as I bite my lip. " They both had a nice tune, but I think I liked the second one more." I assure them. Sage stares at me as I shrug.
" The second one not only has a nice tune, but it seems to have a strong message. It seems like the singer is trying to get over an abusive but ending up in the same place." I reply. I notice Edmund's eyes flicker as they both smile at me. I watch them as the other song starts to play.
Maybe I'm crazy
What did I fall into
Lookin' for a key to a door that I can't get through
Just maybe
I'm crazy
Don't you know, don't you know I'm going under
