I knoooooow it's aliiiiiiiiive and somewhere for us to fiiind...

This idea started out as a joke. I sang the chorus, and Jaime cracked up at it. "It's the Mello and Near song," he laughed. Later on, I couldn't sing the name of the song without laughing too, and I told him he'd ruined it for me. I don't think he did, though. I looked at the lyrics and y'know, cheesy pun and all, it actually works pretty well for a Mello and Near song.

I’m a suspect
I’m a traitor
I’m only here in body, visiting
Yellow faces and the distant screams
The beauty is in what isn’t said
I’m rising to my feet
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don’t dare to breathe
I know it’s alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight, chase this light with me
My gesso
My last call
My life is yours, in your gifted hands
Confetti rainfall and the quiet street
These things I’ve found are special now
The knot is in my reach
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don’t dare to breathe
I know it’s alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight, chase this light with me
A movie still-photograph
Through a martyr’s eyes I can see...
I’ve seen the best of love,
Best of hate
The best reward is earned
I’ve paid for every single word I’ve ever said
Confetti rainfall and the quiet street
The beauty is in what you make it
So get up on your feet
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don’t dare to breathe
I know it’s alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight, chase this light with me

Yes, the song is "Chase This Light" by Jimmy Eat World. I know, I know, it's a stupid, lulzy pun, but I love it, and I think the rest of the song works surprisingly well.

On a similar note, we have our own version of the chorus for "Bring the Light" by The Smashing Pumpkins. Raito! Bring the Raito! Bring the Raaaaaaaito, bring the Raaaa-iiiii-to!
