I'm sitting in a cafe. Eating food and having a conversation with the people who have given me this life. Right outside of this beautiful little restaurant are tall buildings. Bigger than the monsters that would appear in my past dreams. They looked down on me, keeping my feet on the ground, making me feel like I'm home. I'm really home. But all at once people are screaming. Running up and down the streets. Yelling, "FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I look up and this beautiful symbol has flames surrounding it. Looking like the demon that haunts your religious dreams, had taken shape of this building. It's roaring and full of anger. You can't miss it. My eyes tear because I know precious lives are falling to pieces and I'm here, all the way down here, only living as a spectator, and not a hero.

I appear in a full officers uniform. I'm escorting a poor hopeless polish man to his fate. He's so sullen and his prosecutor is a tall German man who looks like he grew old with wealth. He has a smile on his face, and I know right then and there that he knows what he's doing and he's proud of himself. He really is proud. The judge sends me off to guard the parking structure and away I go.


I'm standing around making sure no danger comes upon these people. But a simple thought bounces through my head, imagine, only imagine what I would do if this building would collapse. What would I do?






All at once.....a crash...






The building starts to lean. It will not collapse. It will fall over on its side. I feel the ground rumble and rumble and rumble.





I feel a strong hit to the head and I'm out.



I wake up and alarms are going off. the building is on the ground on its side. My vision is blurred. Blood is everywhere. It's coming from my head. I have to reach the small space that leads to the outside but my vision is not helping. I will die if I dont get out in a couple of seconds. I crawl and I crawl but I never reach the outside...



I awake.








I know who you are, and I know where your coming from. I've been there before. I've tried on your shoes and now your trying on mine, but I won't let myself fall behind. This is my chance to shine. You had yours and now I'm on top of the stage doing my tricks and leading the band with a tune thats only audible to the greatest of the greats. I need my time. I waited. The moon will shine in the darkness and I'll sing with my heart and the wrong tune but I know it's my own voice. Not yours.




Hideaway
Well they'll seat us in the sun
By the way
Know you've always been the one

You'll ask your reasons why
What once was yours is mine
My baby's gone

Ride away
Gonna take me from my man
By the way
No they'll never understand

We'll have a bit of fun
Watching everyone pass us by

You'll ask your reason why
