I was driving the other day, listening to The Amazing Devil (as I have been for weeks now) when a random story idea popped into my head. It took a few days to get it written down and fleshed out a bit, but I finished it today.

Hiding in Plain Sight

It was originally just two random people, but then I thought it would be funny if one knew the other and because of the music that inspired it, it ended up being Jasiker and Yennefer.

The song that inspired me was Wild Blue Yonder
Without you, I’m stronger, I’m no longer
Filled with wonder
How wrong you were

You. You told me I was younger
That I was filled with wonder
How wrong you were

For you, my lungs were pulled asunder
Saw that wild blue yonder and said: ‘such endless blue’

For you. I would have gone so much blonder.
Seen that wild blue yonder and said
Let’s end this too

So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off
Grip the bathroom rug my skin’s grown so soft

So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes
Get a grip, we're grownups

Let’s wander, till the fuckers demand an encore
Flirting / Wasn’t flirting / In the back of a bookshop

Come and rip off my socks like you’re blasting the locks off of a bank vault Halt!
This time we’re done for

Let’s hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Could be wolves
So hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you, I’d bruise you too

Every stone you threw, I stood on to better see the view
I’ve got something in my eye

I surrender what was, what could have been,
All those wonders sit in wait for us, we tried
Try please try for me

Don't you ever wonder. What could have been?
All those wonders sit in wait for us, we tried

Come rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long
Tried my best to get thinner
Those songs we sung, Those words we flung
For fear of sound
All those books that we both drowned

And the candle we lit, well we’ll use it to burn this whole place to the ground
I’m lost
I’m found
In you

Let’s hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Can’t you hear that scratching?
Hold me, lover like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you, I’d bruise you too

Every brick you hurled, I’ll use to build this world
This world This world This world

Let’s hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Could be all our demons darling
Hold me, lover like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you, I’d bruise you too

Let’s hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Could be ghosts or monsters or a robot vampire I dunno
Hold me, lover like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you,
I’d bruise you,
I’d bruise you,
I’d bruise you

It's not much, but it was nice to write something.

The Amazing Devil is just so good. I've been listening to "The Calling" a lot lately.

That's one of my favorites.
