This is my first short story so please give me some feedback. |
Intro: In the past few months, Sonic has been receiving advanced combat lessons from Shadow. These have often ended up using anger and hatred to execute them. Sonic is becoming his deepest fear, an angry screaming monster. A week passes and Sonic decides to confront Shadow and tell him to leave him alone. Don't Stay Linkin Park Meteora Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe Sometimes I need you to stay away from me Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need you to go Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need to be alone Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away With no apologies Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Don't stay Don't stay A few days pass and shadow is, once again, having angry thoughts swim through his head Figure.09 Linkin Park Meteora Shadow: Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happening It's like nothing I can do would distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again 'Cause from the infinite words I could say I Put all pain you gave to me on display But didn't realize instead of setting it free I Took what I hated and made it a part of me (Never goes away) (Never goes away) Sonic (from afar): (And now) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be right here) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be my fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you) Shadow: Hearing your name the memories come back again I remember when it started happening I see you in every thought I had and then The thoughts slowly found words attached to them And I knew as they escaped away I was committing myself to them and everyday I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I Took what I hated and made it a part of me (Never goes away) (Never goes away) Sonic (from afar): (And now) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be right here) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be my fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you) Shadow: (Never goes away) (Never goes away) (Never goes away) (Never goes away) Sonic: Get away from me Shadow: Give me my space back you gotta just Sonic: Go Shadow: Everything comes down the memories of Sonic: You Shadow: I've kept it in but now I'm letting you Sonic: Know Shadow: I let you go so get away from Sonic: Me Shadow: Give me my space back you gotta just Sonic: Go Shadow: Everything comes down the memories of Sonic: You Shadow: I've kept it in but now I'm letting you Sonic: Know Shadow: I let you go (And now) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be right here) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be my fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you) I've let myself become you I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you This escalates into a full out war between them Hit the Floor Linkin Park Meteora Shadow: There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy Too many times that I’ve held on when I needed to push away Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say Too many things that you've said about me when I’m not around You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down But I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine Sonic: (One minute you're on top) Shadow: The next you're not watch it drop Sonic: (Making your heart stop) Shadow: Just before you hit the floor Sonic: (One minute you're on top) Shadow: Next you're not missed your shot Sonic: (Making you're heart stop) Shadow: You think you've won Both: (And then its all gone) Shadow: So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not stepped on There are so many things you say that make me feel you've crossed the line What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the time Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine Sonic: (One minute you're on top) Shadow: The next you're not watch it drop Sonic: (Making your heart stop) Shadow: Just before you hit the floor Sonic: (One minute you're on top) Shadow: Next you're not missed your shot Sonic: (Making you're heart stop) Shadow: You think you've won Both: (And then its all gone) Both: (And then it’s all gone) Both: (And then its all gone) Both: (And then it’s all gone) Both: (Now it’s all gone) Shadow: I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway And all the lies have got you floating up above us all But what goes up has got to fall Sonic: (One minute you're on top) Shadow: The next you're not watch it drop Sonic: (Making your heart stop) Shadow: Just before you hit the floor Sonic: (One minute you're on top) Shadow: Next you're not missed your shot Sonic: (Making you're heart stop) Shadow: You think you've won Both: (And then its all gone) Both: (And then it’s all gone) Both: (And then its all gone) Both: (And then it’s all gone) Both: (Now it’s all gone) At this point Shadow pulls out a dagger, stabs Sonic in the heart, and runs off. Nearing death, Sonic says his last words... What I’ve Done Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight In this farewell There’s no blood There’s no alibi ‘Cause I’ve drawn regret From the truth Of a thousand lies So let mercy come And wash away What I’ve done I'll face myself To cross out what i’ve become Erase myself And let go of what i’ve done Put to rest What you thought of me While I clean this slate With the hands of uncertainty For what I’ve done I start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!! What I’ve done Forgiving what I’ve done Sonic then falls over dead. Two days later: a funeral for a hero. Hands Held High Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight Vector: Turn my mic up louder I got to say something Light weights step to the side when we come in Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping People on the street they panic and start running Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping Risk something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque Asking you to have compassion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing like "what did he say?" All: Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen Vector: In my living room watching but I am not laughing Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen World is cold the bold men take action Have to react or get blown into fractions Ten years old it's something to see Another kid my age drugged under a jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me Do you see the soldiers they're out today They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away It's ironic at times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside When the rich wage war it's the poor who die Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day both scared and angry like "what did he say?" All: Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. The dedication song… In the End Linkin Park Hybrid Theory Tails: (It starts with) Vector: One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time Both: All I know Vector: time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away Both: It’s so unreal Vector: Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Both: Watch you go Vector: I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard Tails: And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter Vector: One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how Both: I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me Both: In the end Vector: You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard Tails: And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know (Starts to cry) I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter A few days later, The coffin starts to shake and rumble. Sonic somehow wakes up and bursts out of the ground as super sonic. And races off to defeat Shadow once and for all. Points of Authority Linkin Park Hybrid Theory Shadow: Forfeit the game Before somebody else Takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last Sonic: You love the way I look at you While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through You take away if I give in My life My pride is broken You like to think you're never wrong (You live what you've learned) You have to act like you're someone (You live what you've learned) You want someone to hurt like you (You live what you've learned) You want to share what you have been through (You live what you've learned) You love the things I say I'll do The way I hurt myself again just to get back at you You take away when I give in My life My pride is broken You like to think you're never wrong (You live what you've learned) You have to act like you're someone (You live what you've learned) You want someone to hurt like you (You live what you've learned) You want to share what you have been through (You live what you've learned) Shadow: Forfeit the game Before somebody else Takes you out of the frame And puts your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last You like to think you're never wrong (You live what you've learned) You have to act like you're someone (You live what you've learned) You want someone to hurt like you (You live what you've learned) You want to share what you have been through (You live what you've learned) Both (at different times): You like to think you're never wrong – Forfeit the game (You live what you've learned) You have to act like you're someone – Forfeit the game (You live what you've learned) You want someone to hurt like you – Forfeit the game (You live what you've learned) You want to share what you have been through (You live what you've learned) Sonic delivers a crippling blow to Shadow but refuses to kill him. Shadow is puzzled but is grateful and walks away with remorse. Easier to Run Linkin Park Meteora Sonic:It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Something has been taken from deep inside of me The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show they never go away Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played Shadow: (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave) Sonic: It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past Shadow: (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave) Sonic: Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced It's so much simpler than change It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone It's easier to run Shadow: (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made) Sonic: It's easier to go Shadow: (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave) |
