mike is confused, heās laying on his bed after his friends have gone home. graduation was perfect his campaign was perfect. everyone left. who is calling for him?
he gets up to look out the windowā¦ hearing wills voice but he canāt see him.
mike climbs out the window.
mike is in his college dorm. itās decorated exactly like his bedroom at home. heās lying on his bed looking at the painting but the dragon is? gray? was it always gray? he sits up to touch it but itās so fragile his fingers tear right through.
mike is at a wedding. heās not the best man. heās sitting in the crowd. watching an old friend on the happiest day of his life. what was his name again?
mike is sitting in an armchair watching the tv. how long has it been static? he grabs for the remote but picks up a walkie talkie.
you leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
the static crackles, piercing his ears, he recoils. heās back in his bedroom itās the middle of the night. that dnd campaign had been perfect.
but will is still calling to him outside. why hasnāt he gone home itās been hours.
alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
mike is standing outside his house. in the middle of the road. he canāt find will.
mother will never understand why you had to leave
mike wanders the streets. he finds himself in the woods near mirkwood.
but the answers you seek will never be found at home
he sees a bike. he goes to pick it up.
the love that you need will never be found at home
run away, turn away, run away
run away, turn away, run away
running thought the forrest, mike trips over a root and lands in a puddle. when he stands up heās somewhere heās never seen before. itās red.
pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
mikeās head is spinning. what is this place?
you were the one that theyād talk about
a cloud of dust forms in the distance
around town, as they put you down
itās a portal. a portal to his friends.
and as hard as they would try, theyād hurt to make you cry
but you never cried to them, just to your soul
no, you never cried to them, just to your soul
mike has never run this hard in his life.
his mind is still foggy. confused.
run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
but he knows that will is on the other side of this barren landscape
so heās gonna run like hell to him.
run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
mike falls out of the air and into wills arms. the boom box filling his ears, he almost canāt feel his body.
all he can feel are lips against his.
he canāt tell who leaned in first, but he knows he never wants this feeling to stop.
when they finally break the kiss will cradles mike in his arms.
āi thought i lost youā he sobs
āi thought i lost you tooā mike responds, still processing.
they hold eachother for another moment. this final battle will continue as soon as they stop breathing the same air. but in this moment itās just the two of them. together.
