Yes, I'm seriously converting a song into a game.
The song, Breaking The Habit, is one of the most emotional songs I've heard in my life. The song itself was written by Mike Shinoda, the rapper of a band titled Linkin Park, for Chester Bennington, a good friend, and lead singer of the same band.
Bennington, as a child, was sexually abused. Bennington was too scared to tell anybody. As a young teenager, he started taking drugs in order to block the pain.
The song is a tribute to Chester, who's addiction to the drugs nearly ruined his life.
"Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight"
