Hold On Till May
Warped Tour // Location: Ventura, California
Julia’s POV
“WHAT’S UP VENTURA!?” Vic yelled in the mic as we all ran onstage. Mike sat down at hisdrum set and Jaime and I threw our arms around Vic. We broke away from Vic after a good five seconds and ran over to our mics. Vic nodded to me and I started strumming the intro to our first song.
♪ Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do
Paralyze your body
Sick and tired of waking up to
Burning eyes and cigarettes
I’m falling through the couch like a suicide mission tonight
My God, here comes the downside
Wild eyes of terror pray for sex on the beach while
Oceans of kerosene will soak into me ♪
Jaime and I ran up to each other and stood back to back while playing.
♪ I’m not meant for this world, I just don’t see the point
Don’t think about it, don’t over think about it
And life is a joke
But everything’s riding on me tonight
Been counting the stars and scars
How I’m becoming a work of art
Desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
The whispered words “You’d better hide the bullets”
You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night
Trigger my nightmare once again
And it’s fucking loaded in hand
And we’ll let the fire rage
The smoke and the drowning flames
My bedroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds
In desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
I’ll be surrounded by all of the ones I’ve loved and cared about
And then burn it down
(Go!)
(Down) ♪
Vic signaled for us to jump into a split. It was perfect. We all jumped at the same time and it looked amazing to the crowd.
♪ And life is a joke
At least I can love you, naked and tattooed
Counting the stars and scars
And if the pain is a sound, let’s slow it down
Desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
I’ll be surrounded by all of the ones I’ve loved and cared about
And then burn it down
Your serotonin’s gone
The kerosene is gone
The sunset is gone
So hold on
Your serotonin’s gone
The kerosene is gone
The sunset is gone
It's all gone, All gone, All gone, All gone. ♪
Vic nodded at me. That was my signal. I grabbed my mike and hopped up onto my riser.
“What’s up guys?” Everyone responded with cheering. “So all of you guys probably know me already, but for those of you who don’t, my name’s Julia Perry!” People started screaming even louder. “My brother, Tony Perry passed in a motorcycle accident 5 years ago. The anniversary of his death is coming up in about a month.” It began to get quiet among the crowd. “I’m currently writing a tribute to him and I just want to thank you guys for all of the amazing support that Pierce The Veil has received since his death and it’s just amazing. Thank you.” The crowd started chanting Tony’s name. I began to laugh into the mic as tears welled in my eyes. As I began to speak again, it got quiet. “Thank you, Thank you. So in honor of Tony, we dedicate this set to him!” The crowd roared with cheering and applause as I put the mic back on the stand. Vic wrapped his arm around me and gave me a reassuring look.
Vic grabbed his mic. “This one’s called Hell Above! Hope you guys like it!”
♪ If you wanted to set me free
Why the fuck wouldn't you say something?
See, I was just over seventeen
Made of poison, cave in free.
Oh no, please, don't abandon me
Mother, father, I love you so
But this is just me disguised as me
I'm the killer who burned your home
This home
What the fuck is this home?
This is the street youth rising up! ♪
Hell Above, Caraphernelia, Yeah Boy and Doll Face, King for a Day, and Million Dollar Houses. Tony’s set.
