~still in the past~
You graced your fingers lightly over the strings of the guitar toning it slightly. Triss lightly tapped her drum sticks on the cymbal as she waited to start. Jr was still sitting on the couch beside Ruth as he toned the base. Ruth was still grinning like an idiot and tapped a few of the keys on the keyboard. You were sitting in the cool hanging chair that was in the dorm when you and Triss moved in.
"Mm k! Let's start!" She grinned widely at you, "You got the lyrics?"
"Umm... yeah." You mumbled running your fingers over the stings of your guitar, you nodded to Triss, "Count me of Triss-ter!" You chuckled
Triss rolled her eyes and ran a hand through the dark pinkish red hair on half of her head. She clicked the drum sticks together a few times making loud clicks. You smiled and started to play.
"I'm sorry about your parents, they sound like bad people
Your daddy sounds like a jerk
I guess your mama didn't know the gift she got when she got you
I'm sorry about your life, you had it pretty rough
Bending over backwards, never good enough
You poor thing, it must suck to be you
And I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it?"
You sang grinning widely strumming out the melody the others soon joined you in playing grinning even more boldly at the sound.
"I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? that's no way to live
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds."
You stood up and continued to play your fingers dancing the stings like spiders swinging gracefully from string to string. You strode around your living room singing the next verse.
" I get it, give me a little credit
I remember when I was that pathetic
Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see
Like look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick
You probably have the right to feel how you do
You were mistreated and cheated out of the childhood you needed
And now you'll never succeed if you're so convinced you're defeated
If you're obsessed with your yesterday then you're destined to repeat it
And I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it, is it, is it?"
You broke into an instrumental break grinning your fingers stinging slightly at you played. Ruth grinned at you as you both toss the melody back and forth at each other. You twisted away gracefully laughing quietly.
" I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? that's no way to live
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds!"
