But I bleed like any other

And I need…

Like every other

I'm still a person and I learn

You think I stopped and maybe dropped

But I think like any other

And I need…

Like every other

It turned out to be a better than good show. One of our best.

We ended onWith this song,but before we started that up, Jinx did an incredible solo to open it. The song was all about the love between Jinx and Miami. They wrote it together, if I remembered correctly. The words were so fucking sweet, but we played it as hard as any of our other songs. It was no fucking ballad.

With this song

I want to tell you I love you

With this song

I want to show you how I go on

With this song

I need to give my freedom

I need to share my life

Na na nah, butta Bum

My own butta-bum, rim shot followed. We paused a beat before jumping back in with perfect timing.

Old times, they're long gone

You see a new sight

With eyes that want what's beyond

And there's no light

Showing the way

And I give you what this song will say

There were three more timed-out rim shots, and we hit every single fucking one perfectly. The song rocked so fucking hard, but the words made me think. I was doing entirely too much of that lately, but this time, I thought that I had never told Coleman that I loved him. And I needed to change that.

We finished and took our bows. And as we walked off, I remembered when Coleman and I met. He had been hitting on me subtly, and I was anything but. So I went up to him and got right in his face. We had a funny conversation about being freaky and swinging from chandeliers. Ha! I was so full of myself.

Well, we never swung from any chandeliers, but we had a great time. All the time. I was a lot harder on him from the start than I ever had to be. I wasn’t sure why he stuck it out, but I didn’t scare him off the first time we talked, and he was still there waiting at the sidestage for me.

I launched myself into his arms. He took me in, sweaty as I was, and everything broke loose like a fucking damn. I bawled. And he held me still while chaos moved around us.

Eventually, someone came and asked us to move off stage for the next band, and we went back to the bus. But not for long because some of the best performances were about to start. Masterson’s bands. Embrace The Fear, Social Sinners, andMaiden Voyage. I washed my face in the sink and changed, putting on extra deodorant. And we headed out.
