Kei's POV
This was it. Last day of warped tour. After today, everything changed. It had been hard, but I've been clean since my suicide attempt, making me about 3 weeks clean now. Instead of doing merch, Andy let me hang around wherever I wanted so I could just enjoy the last day.
I was walking toward the stage that BMTH would be playing on in less than half an hour. I got up to the stage and greeted the guys with hugs. "Those seem to be healing up nicely." Oli said, referring to my arms.
I nodded, smiling. "Three weeks clean now!"
"I'm so proud of you! Do you wanna sing one of the songs today?" He asked.
I nodded. "You know I always want to!! Can I do Hospital for Souls?" I asked, and Oli nodded.
"You'll be on after our first two songs." He said. We sat around just hanging out until Oli had to go sing onstage. They started with Can You Feel My Heart, then sand Chelsea Smile, before Oli went to introduce me. "How are you doing Warped Tour?!" He yelled into the mic, causing the crowd to erupt in cheers. "You might have heard of my amazing friend, Kei!" He said, gesturing to me as I walked out, smiling at the screaming crowd. "Well, she's going to sing one of our songs with us today. Let's do this!" One of the techs handed me a mic as the song started.

"And then I found out, how hard it is to really change. Even hell can get comfy once you've settled in. I just wanted the numb inside me to leave. No matter how fucked you get, there's always hell when you come back down. The funny thing is, all I ever wanted, I already had. There's glimpses of heaven in every day. In the friends I have... The music I make.. The love that I feel. I just had to start again."
"The days are a death wish,
a witch hunt for an exit,
I am powerless...
The fragile, the broken,
sit in circles, and stay unspoken.
We are powerless...
Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase,
silent halls and nameless faces.
I am powerless...
Everybody wants to go to heaven,
but nobody wants to die.
I can fear death no longer,
I've died a thousand times.
Why explore the universe,
when we don't know ourselves?
There's an emptiness inside our heads,
that no one dares to dwell.
Throw me to the flames!
Watch me burn!
Set my world ablaze!
Watch me burn!
How are we on a scale of one to ten?
Could you tell me what you see?
Do you wanna talk about it,
how does that make you feel?
Have you ever took a blade to your wrists?
Have you been skipping meals?
We're gonna try something new today,
how does that make you feel?
Hold me close, don't let go,
watch me (burn)
Hold me close, don't let go,
watch me (burn)
Hold me close, don't let go,
watch me (burn)
In this hospital for souls.
Hold me close, don't let go,
watch me (burn)
Hold me close, don't let go,
watch me (burn)
Hold me close, don't let go,
watch me (burn)
In this hospital for souls.
