Open Mic

I want this song to last,
I want to set these thoughts apart.
Words on a page will fade so fast.
Instead I'll write it all on my heart.
I need you to understand,
all the things that I feel.
I'll take you by the hand,
I have one more thing to reveal.
You really are a special girl.
One day you are gonna change the world.
You're happy to stay with me.
But darling, you cannot see.
I need you to understand,
how beautiful you really are.
Please let go of my hand.
Without me you'll go so far.
There's something wrong with our world,
too many people are just like me.
You really are a special girl,
you have the power to set us free.
I need you to understarnd,
all you have done for me.
You took me by the hand,
you made me who I should be.
Darling, leave me behind.
There's plenty people left to see.
Move on down the line,
make someone else who they should be.
I need you to understand,
I can't keep you all for me.
There are millions of other hands.
You can make the whole world see.
So darling don't be afraid,
you can make this world a better place.
I know I only hold you back,
so smile as we fade to black.

50 Word Story

The Scientist- Coldplay
I don't drive anymore. Don't smile anymore either. That stopped with the driving. Plenty of things have changed. For example, I spend more time talking to you than anyone else. No one can say what I want to hear like you can. Because nobody was in that car but you.

Blurbs

Best I've Ever Had - Vertical Horizon - Jackson lost the girl of his dreams. She left him and took his heart with her. He's too proud to admit that she hurt him. Saying that it's not so bad, she's only the best he's ever had. But in all honesty, it's eating him up. He won't ever find another one like her, and he knows it.

Fred Jones Part 2 - Ben Folds - Fred Jones works at the local newspaper and loves his job. He has worked there for twenty years and is still going strong. Or so he thought. They fired him today. Replaced him with someone new, fresh. New ideas and perspectives. Fred was the last of a dying breed. The world doesn't want to hear what he has to say anymore. But he still has a lot left in him.

Viva La Vida - Coldplay - He lost everything. Once he was on top of the world. Dirk was a king, high roller. But without her, nothing meant anything anymore. Everything fell apart when she left. Now the people and things he put before her are gone. And she's the thing she misses most of all. He never knew how important she was until she wasn't.

It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion - Celine broke up with Brad. It was long and painful. They fought and cried and screamed. And any semblance of the joy their relationship had started with was gone. Long gone. Celine learned to make herself stronger, she didn't miss him. Didn't want him back. But when Brad comes back into her life, all of the love and feelings from the first time come flooding back. Her defenses aren't as strong as she thought.

Phantom Of The Opera - Michael Batt - The Phantom cannot show his face. No one knows he is there. Christine is a young opera singer who is stuck in supporting roles despite her talent. The Phantom helps her rise to the starring role while he lives through her. They form a team that benefits each of them. Kinda creepy though.

3. You can be my little lie.

2.She'll never see this broken smile.

Impuse Two

Foreman- Have you ever used a chainsaw?
Tucker- Yeah, once or twice.
Foreman- Good. Cause we're putting you down the hill with Joe. You cut the trees and we'll haul 'em up.
Tucker- Sounds good. Thanks for the job by the way.
Foreman- Don't get all touchy feely. I'm only keeping you if you can work.
Joe- How's it going? Looks like the main line is down, that means we get a break. I'm Joe.
Tucker- How long till it's running again? I'm Tucker by the way.
Joe- Ten minutes or so. So how long have you been out here?
Tucker- Two days. It's beautiful.
Joe- Yeah, I guess. What brings you?
Tucker- Just looking to get away for a while.
Joe- I can understand that. What are you running from?
Tucker- Nothing. I just need to clear my head.
Joe- Look kid, no one just picks up and moves out here for no reason. What about your family? Where are they?
Tucker- I only ever had one person. She's gone now. Nothing to keep me there now.
Joe- She die?
Tucker- No. She left.
Joe- I'm sorry. Why did she go?
Tucker- No idea. Her letter didn't say.
Joe- What did it say?
Tucker- Just that she was living in New York. She is happier now.
Joe- Huh. Still doesn't explain why you are here.
Tucker- I can't help but try and look for her. But I know she's happier without me. All I wanted was for her to be happy. The further away I get, the easier it is to let go. This is as far away as I could think of.
Joe- Well, you definitely picked the right place. People get lost out here all the time.
Tucker- I might like that.
Joe- It will happen. But it looks like they fixed to problem. Back to work.
