Maria ran into Fiona's coffee, late after getting stuck in traffic. She got there literally just in time for her turn. A minute later and she wouldn't have gotten her chance to impress the agent. She shouldered her way past people in her attempted to get to the little stage. She jumped up there and took hold of the microphone. "So sorry I'm late, traffic was a bitch and a half." Maria couldn't help but grin at the odd looks she was getting. From her hair to her makeup to her clothes, she was different. Refusing to follow fashion trends at all.
She gave the sound guy a small nod and the music for
her song began.
"Fall apart, we don't fall apart.
Fall apart, we don't fall apart.
I bet you didn't think that the more you'd try to kill us.
The more we'd rise up.
The more we'd wise up.
I bet you got your hands full trying to dilute us.
You've hit a brick wall.
Won't weaken our resolve.
We've already given away what you're trying to take.
What you're trying to take.
When you've died a thousand death's what's one more?
We look into your eyes and we say and we say.
Seize our families, take our homes away.
We won't fall apart
We won't fall apart.
Body after body to the grave.
We won't fall apart!
We won't fall apart!
I guess you didn't that so many were willing, to disown their lives.
To say their goodbyes.
I don't think you have any idea just what you're killing.
We will walk on.
We live on.
Who is the fool who gives what he can't save?
To gain one thing that nobody can take?
Though it may cost us everything, we look into your eyes and we say...
Seize our families take our homes away.
We won't fall apart.
We won't fall apart.
Body after body to the grave.
We won't fall apart.
We won't fall apart.
Death without love profits nothing.
I must still be alive.
I must still be alive.
Seize our families take our homes away.
We won't fall apart.
We won't fall apart.
Body after body to the grave.
We won't fall apart.
We won't fall apart.
Seize our families take our homes away.
We won't fall apart.
We won't fall apart.Her voice resonated through the coffee shop. Filled with passion, joy, ferocity. Showing that she meant every word of her song. Once it was over, she jumped down from the stage, without a word, and took an empty seat at an empty table.
