The song starts, hard and loud, the drummer pounding in steady beats
and the crowd jumping up and down as Masen bobs his head. I dart my
eyes down, underneath the video, and see the band name.
Cipher Core. He has a band?
The scavenger hunt. Oh, my God. I’d thought he was just a guest that
night. Some random guy hanging around, but he wasn’t. That was his
band’s event.
My hand shakes as I move the cursor and click on the Show More
section. The lyrics are written there, and I see Masen close his eyes and
hold the microphone on its stand as his smooth, deep voice starts singing
the words I’m reading.
A picture is worth a thousand words,
But my thousand words slice deeper.
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger,
Fuck that. I’ve become a hide and seeker.
Treat others how you want to be treated,
But what if tonight I want to be burned?
You told us it’s better to be safe than sorry,
And little sister listened, but I was the one who learned.
Reap, reap, reap, you don’t even know,
All you did suffer is what you did sow!
Necessitate, medicate, eradicate, resuscitate.
Swallow your Pearls, but for me it was too late.
Do better, be more, too many, too much,
