"Everybody!" Funtime yelled to the gathered crowd the next day. "This song is dedicated to a few select people who just joined my and the band's life a few days ago. And one person who is so emotionally damaged he forgot how to feel. They have had a rough time their whole lives. All of them. But they're here and safe. Everyone, this next song, is for Breaker, Freakout, Frightmare, Nightmare, Creep, Chew and Fredrick. Nice kids with a not so nice past."

He nodded to Lexi who started playing. ((Start music and try not to cry due to possible flashbacks))

I bet you don't curse God
When the doctor calls
With a stern voice and the test results
And he asks you to come in right away

I bet you don't curse God
When you're on a plane
In a turbulance, pourin' rain
And you're hoping that you'll make it out okay

Everybody cries
We've all faked a smile
When your back's against the wall
And your hands are tied

There's pain, Life hurts
There's a thousand things
You think you don't deserve
All hope is lost
When You spend it all
And you just can't beat the odds
I bet you don't curse God
I bet you don't curse God

I bet you don't curse God
When your child is gone
And he ain't picking up the phone
And it's 2am on a Saturday in July

I bet you don't curse God
At your bottom line
And your credit cards are all declined
And you don't know where you're gonna sleep tonight

Everybody cries
We've all faked a smile
When your back's against the wall
And your hands are tied

There's pain, Life hurts
There's a thousand things
You think you don't deserve
All hope is lost
When You spend it all
And you just can't beat the odds
I bet you don't curse God
I bet you don't curse God

I bet you don't curse God
When you're dying in bed
About to take your one last breath
And you're holding on before you say goodnight

There's pain, Life hurts
There's a thousand things
You think you don't deserve
When all hope is lost
When You spend it all
And you just can't beat the odds
I bet you don't curse God
I bet you don't curse God

I bet you don't curse God

He finished and looked up hopefully. Fredrick, who was there in the beginning of the song, had fled somewhere in the middle.

~•~•~•~

Fredrick shoved his hands in his pockets and stared at the sky as it started to rain, mixing with the tears on his face.

((Yeah, we're getting a second song.))

He could feel something at least. Something that he didn't want to feel. Pain. And anger.

An ache
So deep
That I
Can hardly breathe
This pain
Can't be imagined
Will it ever heal?
Ooh... ooh...

Your hand
So small
Held a strand of my hair
So strong
All I could do
Was keep believing
Was that enough?

Is anyone there?

I wanna scream
Is this a dream?
How could this happen,
Happen to me?
This isn't fair
This nightmare
This kind of torture
I just can't bear
I want you here
I want you here
Ooh... ooh...
