lyrics

Silence.

That’s all that’s left after that final scream: the ringing sort of silence that makes your skin crawl and teeth ache.

Serpaz and Laivan look at each other across the theatre of battle, now riddled with the lifeless forms of those who were their friends mere hours ago. Blood oozes from their mouths and noses and ears, thick and ink-black, any trace of color erased once more.

Serpaz is covered in blood too; it itches where it touches her bare skin. She tries to rub it from her forehead and only smears it instead. It’s not going to come out so easily.

She offers Laivan a hesitant grin, feeling some more blood on her cheek pull uncomfortably. She made quite the mess, but they won, didn’t they? The two of them can figure the rest out. They can figure anything out as long as they’re together.

Laivan doesn’t return her smile. Without saying a word, he turns on his heel and stalks off.

We’ve had a good run, listener, but now Daddy’s caught wind of it, and he’s mad. And when Daddy gets mad, it’s time for the curtain call.

So salvage whatever you would care to keep of this broken world and hope that you leave it before it blinks out of existence.

I’ll see you in the next one.
