Deep in thought

I'm been listening to a lot of music lately. Just searching for a spark, pop or something. But then it hit me. The perfect song if I wanted to change the character of Matthew to a kid who quickly made peace with the fact he had a stroke at the age of nine to a bitter, angry, violent person. The song is Riot by Three Days Grace.

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so filthy
So dirty so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

The song has meaning to me. Of course that's not always the way I felt after the stroke but I had my moments when I was mad as fuck.
