I'M BEGGING YOU TO BE MY ESCAPE.
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about. Watching some good friends scream "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow takes me higher. In the middle of Jasper, Indiana, life is exactly as it would seem. The town is separated by class (First, Middle, Low), and then by religion, race, and heritage. In such a prejudice town, who can ever find themselves?
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor. These are the days -- It never rains but it pours.
Those who have found themselves are shunned. Such parents are these that they have infected their children with such a hatred. The high school is separated into cliques.
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn.
The groups of Jasper High are like most (Preps [Preps are separated into hundreds of small cliques], Jocks, Goths, Punks, Emos, Suffering Artists, Nerds, Loners, Minglers, Indie Kids ) but the hatred between each group is not the same. Each keeps to their own out of pure hatred toward the other groups.
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking. Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love give love give love? Give love give love give love give love give love?
Violence from parents and their children are making it a difficult place to live. Once a harmonious town is turning into a savage place filled with poison. Those who move from another town are usually miserable.
Cause love's such an old fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night. And love dares you to change our ways of caring about ourselves.
Can anything change? Can anyone stop this horrible madness? When does it end?
This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure.
The plot is basic. We encourage creativity, so each member has the opportunity to develop the plot more. Think of it as the structure of the building, and it's up to everyone else to build the windows and put in the carpet.
