Sink Into Me

Adam turned to Matt and asked what song they were going to play first, Matt suggested they play Make Damn Sure, Adam agreed.

“Okay ready?” Adam turned around and looked at his fellow band mates.

They all nodded in response.

“Okay, one two three four” Matt counting them in.

Adam began to sing;

You've Got This New Head Filled Up With Smoke
I've Got My Veins All Tangled Close
To The Jukebox Bars You Frequent
The Safest Place To Hide
A Long Night Spent With Your Most Obvious Weakness
You Start Shaking At The Thought You Are Everything I Want
'Cause You Are Everything I'm Not
And We Lay, We Lay Together Just Not
Too Close, Too Close
How Close Is Close Enough? Fred sang.

Then the chorus kicked in.

I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
Well I Trip Over Everything You Say
I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
In The Worst Way
My Inarticulate Store Bought Hangover Hobby Kit
It Talks, It Says, "you, Oh, You Are So Cool."
"Scissor Shaped Across The Bed, You Are Red, Violent Red."
You Hollow Out My Hungry Eyes
You Hollow Out My Hungry Eyes

And We Lay, We Lay Together Just Not
Too Close, Too Close
How Close Is Close Enough?
We Lay, We Lay Together Just Not
Too Close, Too Close

I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
Well I Trip Over Everything You Say
Well I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
In The Worst Way

I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
Well I Trip Over Everything You Say
I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
In The Worst Way

I'm Gonna Make Damn Sure That You Can't Ever Leave
No, You Won't Ever Get Too Far From Me
You Won't Ever Get Too Far From Me
I'll Make Damn Sure That You Can't Ever Leave
No, You Won't Ever Get Too Far From Me
You Won't Ever Get Too Far From Me
You Won't Ever Get Too Far From Me
You Won't Ever Get Too Far...

I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
Well I Trip Over Everything You Say
Well I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
In The Worst Way

I'm Gonna Make Damn Sure
I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
I Just Wanna Break You Down So Badly
In The Worst Way

The song ended and my god, I was stunned. I knew they were awesome because they were one of my favourite bands but I never thought they could perform THAT good live, I mean I knew they’d be kick ass, but it left me speechless.

“So, what did you think?” Matt asked me.

“I…you…wow” I replied speechless.

Matt laughed and Adam gave me a small smile in thanks.

“Holy shit” I exclaimed as I turned to Lidia because the guys removed their instruments and started talking amongst themselves.

“Surprised, huh?” She laughed at my loss for words.

“I knew they’d be good but that was fucking awesome” I said in disbelief

Lidia just laughed in response and gave me a side hug.

I turned back to face the guys as they split apart and walked back to their instruments once more.

“Okay, what now?” Fred asked as he turned to face his band mates.

“I…uh” Adam stammered.

“What is it Adam?” Fred asked as he looked at his friend questionably

“Uh… how about we play Liar?” Adam suggested.

My mind started spinning. I told Adam that Liar was my favourite song by them, he wouldn’t be suggesting this for me, would he? I highly doubt it, considering we hate each other and have only ever spoke civilly once, he’s probably just in the mood to sing that song, or something. I got snapped out of my thoughts by Lidia nudging me in the ribs lightly.

“Huh?” I questioned as I turned to face her.

“I asked if you were okay, you zoned out there, sailor” she laughed.

“Yeah I’m alright, just thinking” I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair.

“About?” She asked.

I took a quick glance at Adam.

“Nothing important” I replied.

“Whatever you say?” She said as she looked at me suspiciously.

“I’ll tell you later” I sighed.

She just smiled in response, happy with herself.

“Okay so we’re going to play Liar” Matt announced as he smiled at Lidia and I.

“HELL YEAH!” I cheered, Matt laughed knowing it’s my favourite song by them.

And once again, Adam started to sing.

All our secrets, they are tailored trouble
Draped loose now around your hips
Your spotless instincts are valid
We co-exist
Got twenty-six days to work with
We got twenty-six days to work with (it moves, it moves, it moves) Fred Sang.
We'll see what all gets done
I'm an addict for dramatics
I confuse the two for love
You can't tell me that you don't beg

Liar (liar).
If we're keeping score,
We're all choir boys at best
Intrusive and arrogant

Liar (liar).
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
Intrusive and arrogant

Got twenty-six days to work with (got twenty-six days)

Then back on that island
That you swear by
Still barely can't afford.
It's still a question of
How long will this hold?

Is it any different now that we are...
Don't you go there - not here, not now
(It moves, it moves, it moves.)
Not here, not now

I'm an addict for dramatics
I confuse the two for love
You can't tell me that you don't beg

Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score,
We're all choir boys at best.
(Intrusive and arrogant.)

Liar (liar).
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
Intrusive and arrogant
We're all choir boys at best

Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
Intrusive and arrogant

Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
Intrusive and arrogant

Liar (liar)
Liar (liar)

But what surprised me was on the very last line of the song Adam looked to me and sang;

It takes one to know one.
