Ave Mary A
Motorcycle's in the parking lot
Revving their engines and it just wont stop
Matches the noise screaming in my head
Houston I think we got a problem
Where does everybody go when they go
The go so fast I don't think they know
We hate so fast
And we love too slow
London I think we got a problem
And when I think about it
I just can't think about it
I try to drink about it
I keep spinning
Ave Mary A
Where did you go
Where did you go
How did you know to get out of a world gone mad
Help me let go
Of the chaos around me
The devil that hounds me
I need you to tell me
Child be still
Child be still
Broken hearts all around the spot
I can't help thinking that we lost the plot
Suicide bomber and a student shot
Tokyo I think we got a problem
But for that they have gotta pill
If that don't kill you then the side effects will
If we don't kill each other then the side effects will
Cape Town I think we got a problem
Ave Mary A
Where did you go
Where did you go
How did you know to get out of a world gone mad
Help me let go
Of the chaos around me
The devil that hounds me
I need you to tell me
Child be still
If the darkest hour comes
Before the light
Where is the light
Where is the light
If the darkest hour comes
Before the light
Where is the light
Where is the light
Where is the light, yeah
Ave Mary A
Where did you go
Where did you go
How did you know to get out of a world gone mad
Help me help me let go
Of the chaos around me
The devil that hounds me
I need you to tell me
Child be still
Child be still
Child be still
'Where did he go? How could he have left me here alone? The whole world has gone to pieces and somehow he managed to get out! Why?' Alyss screamed and started beating the closest wall. Lady Pauline just sat in a chair and watched. What could she have done? Nothing, that's what.
Suddenly it was as if Alyss deflated and she slid down the wall still repeating those lines but now she wasn't yelling them she was quietly whispering them as if begging the world to answer. Her head slid down until it was resting on her arms on the ground and the yelling now turned into great sobs that shook her whole body. Pauline decided that this was something that she could help with and went over and started rubbing her back in circles, not saying anything.
It was a sudden movement again when Alyss sat up and looked at Pauline. It wasn't the movement that froze her in place but the clarity in Alyss' eyes, because Pauline knew full well that she was well over just a bit drunk.
'I hate this world!' she said with as much venom as a drunk person could use. 'And yet I still live in it? Why?' Alyss slurred more than asked.
Lady Pauline couldn't answer.
