06: Voice in the night.

[tides_of_war]

[muted click and a hissing breath between clenched teeth]

Its twilight and I wake up hot
My body's soaked in a cold, cold sweat
I reenact the lurid scenes
And clawed engravings in my head

Oh, I can't punch hard enough
I can't kick high enough
I can't shoot straight enough
I can't hold on enough
Oh, I can't stay down enough
I can't take pain enough
I can

I'm coming up to see you.

By now you know that
I'd come for you
No-one but you
Yes, I'd come for you

Godsdamed Cronus, I will personally cut out his tongue and shove it in a VERY uncomfortable place.

[tides_of_war]

We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our, our empty mouths...

Not necessary.

Like starving wolves counting sheep,
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep.

I'll save those pieces for you then...

[cyprian_swan]

As you wish, love.

Well the devil's nipping at your heels and this time it's for real
A lonely hunger starts to gnaw as you wish away the pain

Cronus is Wanted dead or alive, love, but I prefer alive, just to watch him squirm. And this time I'll be sure to not let his blood touch the earth, air, or water.

She's my starlight, lasts forever
Silver starlight, when she holds me in her arms...

Wishing isn't the point.

Head to head, eye to eye
Human pile of proven pride
Ripping flesh, spitting teeth
Sacrificed for victory.

I'll see what I can do about that...though when I'm through with him, I don't think there will be enough of him left to spawn any further divinity.

And it's a lot of explanation
But don't worry about it kids, okay
Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in,
Switch off, switch on
And explode

[tides_of_war]

Nothin's gonna change my world...

[togivewhatisdue]

Happiness is a warm gun; bang bang, shoot shoot

[tides_of_war]

I'll be there where the metal meets the meat.

Ares? Are you all right?

I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
I told you so

[tides_of_war]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel.

Peachy.

Is that concern? For me?

[ateseeds]

Yes, what else would it be? And I can only assume whatever happened isn't going to be solved with teas.

...Do you need medical assistance, Ares?

[tides_of_war]

I've gotta let it go
I'm runnin' hard against the grain
I've gotta take it slow
Nothing feels the same

Cut it out. I'm fine.

All things considered: Sleep-deprivation, habitual violence, and something that feels an awful lot like choking on my own pent-up rage.
