Babysitter or Hero

I wake up feeling hungry. Dame really I want sleep. But I'm hungry. I get up and go down to the kitchen and make me two poptartes. When they get done I start to hear music. I take my poptartes and follow the sound. It leads me to Andy's room. The door is open a little. I sit out side he's door listening to the music I never heard of before.

"Black painted eyes. Cover the lies. It's time you threw away the cruel disguise. Lost in love you are. Out of touch. An illusion. It's all just smoke and mirrors." "No no." "Why am I having trouble writing this song?" "What other songs do I have I can work on." "Fuck I don't know. What to do what to do." The door opens showing Andy shirtless. There is one tattoo on he's chest. It's words and I'm to far from him to read it. I bet I look stupid sitting on the floor in front of he's door with a poptarte in my mouth looking up I him. "What are you going?"

I quickly take the poptarte out of my mouth and say "ummm I just heard music coming from your room and I wanted to listen to it. It is really good."

"oh um thanks. You can come in if you want to listen."

I go into he's room I see a guitar sitting in the corner of the room. "When did you bring a guitar?"

"Your brother had it in the closet. Mine is still at my house."

He grabs the guitar and sits on the bed and I stand by the closest. He plays a few notes and looks at me and says "come sit over by me." I go sit by him on the bed. He starts playing again. "Here's where it starts, another night alone in the dark. Hate is running through my veins. Steady now I'm talkin aim. The darkness of day, all the skies are turning to gray. I can't tune the voices out. How'd they get so Goddamn loud? Oh. Cause there's a side, another side of me that can't get out. A darker side that no one knows about. Can anybody hear me? Can anybody see me? Cause I think I lost my way. Put the gun down, just put the gun down. Will anybody watch me? Is someone gonna stop me? This could be my last mistake
Put the gun down, just put the gun down, down. Here's where it ends. I'm never going back there again.
Cause everytime I'm standin' by. The shadows in my line of sight. When does it stop?
Cause I'm livin cold and shut off.Even when I clench my fists, it's slipping through my fingertips, Oh. Cause there's a piece, there's a piece of me that's missing now. Yeah there's a piece of me that's breakin down. Can anybody hear me? Can anybody see me? Cause I think I lost my way. Put the gun down, just put the gun down. Will anybody watch me? Is someone gonna stop me? This could be my last mistake
Put the gun down, just put the gun down. That's when I look myself in the mirror. Now I'm seeing things a little clearer. Honest I can't hide what's inside me. I said I'm tired of pointing the finger. Tired of this hand holding the trigger. Now I'm done with that, I gotta take one step back. Can anybody, Can anybody hear me? Can anybody see me? Cause I think I lost my way Put the gun down, just put the gun down.
Will anybody watch me? Is someone gonna stop me? This could be my last mistake. Put the gun down, just put the gun down, down. Here's where it starts, another night alone in the dark. Hate is running through my veins. Steady now I'm takin' aim."

"That is really good."

"Thank you. I normally don't play them to people."

"Well you should there really good."

"There. You only heard one of them."

"I heard part of one when I was outside your door and when I was going to sleep you where in the shower singing."

"You heard that one?"

"Yes I did and I liked it." I look at the clock and seeing it's 3:56am. "I think I should go to bed so I won't be tired tomorrow."

"Ok" I leave Andy sitting on he's bed. Befor I leave I say "you should sing that song I over heard you working on sometime. It sounds really good. And I go into my room. I'm not even tired but I had to get out of there. It was getting to hot in there. I lay down in bed and can still hear him play a little bet. Why do I feel relax when he sing. I fall asleep to Andy singing.
