Hey Apple!!

Well, that’s a wrap!  This match seemed to be pretty surprising for me to sit through.  Both did have potential to get far in the bracket, but in the end, with the supporters they both have, only one of them had the lead throughout the whole voting period just like with the last match.  And unlike with the last match, it would’ve sucked to see either of them go this early regardless of the outcome.

Well, that’s a wrap.  This match, while not as one-sided as the previous match, it followed the same pathway as the rest of the matches.  While both have been through a lot in their bracket run, apparently only one of them has to prevail, regardless of how painful it’ll be to see either of them go out like this.  And just like with the other matches, only one of them had the lead the whole time, even if the loser tried to catch up, but failed in the end.

Well, not all of us are cut out for this type of isolation, especially for this jester chick.  I mean, on the bright side, she finally got her wish after all she has went through both from her world and her bracket run in this tournament.  And honestly, maybe it’s for the best.

Verse 1
I’ve been walking through the shadows,
Counting hours, chasing time.
Every heartbeat felt so hollow,
Till your hand reached out for mine.

Pre-Chorus
When the night was falling,
You became my guide.
Through the dark and silence,
You lit up my life.

Chorus
We’re running into light, no fear, no doubt,
Every broken piece is turning around.
Love is louder than the world outside,
We’re running, we’re running into light.

Verse 2
All the storms we had to weather,
Every tear we had to hide.
Now we’re stronger here together,
With your fire burning bright.

(Pre-Chorus + Chorus wiederholt)

Bridge
Even if the night is endless,
Even if the road is long,
We’ll keep singing through the silence,
Till the morning comes.

Final Chorus
We’re running into light, no fear, no doubt,
Every broken piece is turning around.
Love is louder than the world outside,
We’re running, we’re running into light.
