NATE
Who could ask to be unbroken
or be brave again?
or be brave again?
Or honey hope even on this side
of the grave again?
of the grave again?
It was, all things considered, an incredibly early night for Nate. Early enough that he had expected to arrive back at Sams shop to find it full of light, perhaps with the other man doing... whatever he did in the evenings. Honestly Nate wasn’t around much. It was probably reading though.
His lack of familiarity with Sams habits was why the bookstore slash living space didn’t look off to him at first. It seemed early to close, but maybe. And maybe Sam was simply stacking the books differently, in the window to block off all sight from outside. Then Nate noticed the scrawled addition to the sign, and pushed the door open, a strange worry erupting in his chest.
”Sam? You in here?” Nate called out loudly, closing and locking the door behind him. ”Is anyone else here?” He might not have been overly close with the other man, but Nate still considered him a friend, especially after he’d been taken in. As far as he was concerned, he owed Sam, and keeping an eye out for him was one of the few things he could do to put some work into that debt.

And who could ask it to be sound
or to feel saved again?
or to feel saved again?
But stick around until you hear
that music play again
that music play again
