<font color="#E5E5E5">not my parents</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Rakesh</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> always refused</font> Guignard on his wine office until tonight<font color="#E5E5E5"> Sullivan was

color="#E5E5E5">sliding down his Airways resting in his</font> lungs<font color="#E5E5E5"> and spreading</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to the stomach</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font> wanted<font color="#E5E5E5"> to breathe but each mouthful of</font> air felt too thick to reach its purpose <font color="#E5E5E5">he also felt very warm all of a sudden</font> he was<font color="#E5E5E5"> sweating</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> profusely and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just</font> from his armpits<font color="#E5E5E5"> but from his head face</font> arms

a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> moving car</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">stupid mutt crazy</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> coincidence huh he</font> laughed again<font color="#E5E5E5"> there was something odd</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">about the boy something was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not quite</font> right<font color="#E5E5E5"> with his face and it was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> making</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Guignard</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> sick just by looking at it so</font> it's true<font color="#E5E5E5"> lucky never did exist</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> No</font> [Music] why did you lie to me think about<font color="#CCCCCC"> it</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">here the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> mine doctor you tell me why do</font> people<font color="#CCCCCC"> lie</font> you<font color="#E5E5E5"> cannot could barely articulate but</font> because they have something to<font color="#CCCCCC"> hide oh</font> really that's why<font color="#CCCCCC"> darn it I was hoping you'd</font> say<font color="#E5E5E5"> because they're bored</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> oh we don't</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">have</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to agree</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on everything</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">mariusz look left then right he got</font> closer to the<font color="#E5E5E5"> glass and

color="#E5E5E5"> circumstances ganar would have</font> told him<font color="#E5E5E5"> oh it's not so bad but</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">something about the boy made him want</font> away his answer very carefully<font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font> couldn't<font color="#CCCCCC"> decide on one so he left Marius</font> his question unanswered<font color="#CCCCCC"> he want to get</font> out<font color="#E5E5E5"> because between</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> you and me I'm gonna</font> get you out<font color="#CCCCCC"> of there the former doctors</font> eyes got wide<font color="#CCCCCC"> so he

building I mean you<font color="#CCCCCC"> yourself are doomed but</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">you'll still be able to walk around</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">sounds good what in the world like

you even</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">more uncomfortable than I already have</font> Marius got up<font color="#E5E5E5"> still holding the receiver</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and hunched down as if his proximity</font> could make<font color="#CCCCCC"> Guignard</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> hearing better you</font> want<font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> know why I
