Chapter Twelve

''Fyrenia stares face down at a desk. Across the stage, at a seemingly different place, Silas is doing the same.''

Fyrenia: I've been lost inside a million eyes

Silas: They don't see me, they don't know what it's like

Fyrenia: Trading colors into black and white

Silas: No one's reading all the words that I write

Both: Low, feel the weight of the world in my bones

Try to swim but I'm sinking alone

Always falling in the deep unknown

Silas: Now I'm fighting with my hands up, hands up

Feel the bullets from your head rush, head rush

I can see you but I can't touch, can't touch

'Cause I feel numb

Fyrenia: So infected with your bad blood, bad blood

Keep on running 'til it blows up, blows up

All I wanted was a real love

But I feel numb

Silas: Silent voices to a distant crowd

I'm still singing but there's no one around

Fyrenia: I keep screaming 'til by lungs run out

But no one listens, no more words coming out

Low, feel the weight of the world in my bones

Try to swim but I'm sinking alone

Always falling in the deep unknown

Fyrenia looks up, a determined look appearing on her face.

Fyrenia: Now I'm fighting with my hands up, hands up

Feel the bullets from your head rush, head rush

I can see you but I can't touch, can't touch

'Cause I feel numb

So infected with your bad blood, bad blood

Keep on running 'til it blows up, blows up

All I wanted was a real love

But I feel numb

all I wanted was a real love

But I feel numb

Recording: I feel numb

Fyrenia: But I feel numb

Silas: Low, feel the weight of the world in my bones

Try to swim but I'm sinking alone

Always falling in the deep unknown

Both: Now I'm fighting with my hands up, hands up

Feel the bullets from your head rush, head rush

I can see you but I can't touch, can't touch

'Cause I feel numb

So infected with your bad blood, bad blood

Keep on running 'til it blows up, blows up

All I wanted was a real love

But I feel numb

All I wanted was a real love

But I feel numb
