The next months are a very fun break for Charlie. He joins Max in his hobbies. He is so distracted by all this great entertainment that he almost forgets how much he hates himself. Almost.
He even gets Max into songwriting a bit. They write a song together about Max’s favorite video game, and they perform it at he open mic.
Lyrics:
No, I am not your person.
I'm not some spiky haired Zack.
Waiting, feeding off the prayers that flow through his veins
as you give up your life for a memory.
I am just a farm boy.
I'm just a blonde country bumpkin,
and though I lack nothing in ambition,
I was never your decision.
And all these unimportant simple thoughts, they rip through my brain as the stigma rips itself through my veins, connecting me to my fake self, but still that moment is always there, but with you it's another story, in all that horror you found holy.
Because who falls for a shadow?
Who falls for a memory?
Who falls for a glimpse
of something that might have been
with someone else in some other when?
And yeah, that is me. I am your mercenary, I'm your soldier, I'm your freak, and those were different days, and now my memories are fading.
