Killian didn't think life would get much worse...
That was until he busted a kids nose and was suspended from his PhD program.
And maybe it was luck, or God looking out for his tortured soul, because who knew something so good could come from someth...

The guitar began playing and Killian's eyelids seemed to dip further. It looked like the liquor was really taking over.
The vocals started immediately after, and I wasn't prepared for what I heard next.
Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you..
Well I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you, come please, I'm callin' And, oh, I scream for you
Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin'...
Our eyes locked immediately as his found mine.
Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
His voice was unlike anything I had every heard before, or could ever imagine.
It was raw and rich and resonant.
His eyes bore into mine now as he sang into the mic.
Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' and all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story And, oh, I scream for you come please, I'm callin' and all I need from you, hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me... (Hury, I'm fallin')
There was a guitar interlude on this part, but the music had faded away ages ago. All I could hear was his voice as he sang.
I was mesmerized by his performance, and the words he spoke. It was almost as if I felt pain from it. I felt something inside me clench in uneasiness. Was it even possible for someone to sing like this? To sing with so much pain?
His eyes had closed briefly for the last part here.
And all I need is you Come please, I'm callin' And, oh, I scream for you Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
His eyes found mine for the last time.
Show me what it's like To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be
