‘A Crestview Rumor’
[No music, but two people talking over the phone]
Bowers: ‘Hey Nash, what’s up?’
Me: ‘Nothing just bored here.’
Bowers: ‘Did you hear about that one guy?’
Me: ‘The new kid?’
Bowers: ‘Yeah, him.’
Nash: ‘What about him?’
Bowers: ‘Let’s teach him a little bit about our academy?’ ‘
Nash: ‘You’re suggesting a bit of torture?
Bowers: ‘Let’s just call up everyone we know!’
Nash: ‘Guess I’ll join in…’
[Very slow introduction before singer with electric guitar joins in]
Welcome to the show
The show we play everyday
Where someone is killed
Not with weapons, but with words.
So join in on the fun
Help us kill someone
This very day
[Another phone conversation]
Jacob: Nash? Bowers? Why the three-way?
Nash: That sounded so wrong! –Small laugh-
Bowers: Nash, be quiet for a few seconds!
Jacob: Why are you guys here talking to me again?
Bowers: You know the new kid?
Jacob: Yeah.
Bowers: We heard he was gay!
Jacob: What?! You two can’t be serious!
Nash and Bowers: We are.
Jacob: -thinks for a few seconds- Hmmm...
Nash: Come on man! We need to tell Ben!
Jacob: Okay, okay. Let’s call him up.
[End phone conversation]
The stage is set
Watch our drama
The all around drama
The angst of teenage life
Watch the game we play
With each lie we lay
Watch as kill someone
So slowly, yet so efficiently
[Another phone conversation]
Ben & T.C: Bowers, Jacob and Nash? What the heck?
Nash: Now it’s a five-way! Ha-ha!
Bowers: Just. Shut it okay Nash...
Jacob: Ben you won’t believe was what I heard from them!
Bowers: Yeah he’s actually an illegal!
Jacob: That isn’t what you told me!
Nash: Yeah!
Ben: He’s illegal?
T.C: I think he is as well!
Jacob…
Ben: Let’s call up the cops!
Jacob: WHAT!?
-Ben and T.C hang up to dial 911-
[Conversation ends again]
Our show in flames
We lied through our teeth
The pain we almost caused
Got us back instead
[Drums and other instruments join in]
Welcome to the show
The show we play everyday
Where someone is killed
Not with weapons, but with words.
Watch the game we play
With each lie we lay
Watch as kill someone
So slowly, yet so efficiently
[Conversation starts with all of us in front of officers asking us why we did this]
Nash: It’s just that…
Bowers: That we were bored? –Wry laugh and nervous laugh-
Jacob: -mumbles- Freaking’ Idiots...
TC: -sigh with mumble- Agreed...
Nash: We screwed up, Bowers….
[Conversation ends with an over the top view of everything]
[Just singer]
The rumors and lies we spread
Only backfired on us in the end….
