Chapter 1: I WAS NEVER ONE OF YOU!
Chapter Text
"Oh god. Why am I doing this?" Erik asks,.
"Because I need a backup singer and you happen to be the best," Dazzler said.
"You better pay me a lot of money for this," Erik mutters.
"Hey. You happen to be the best songwriter I ever had." Alison said with a smile.
You cast me out.
You kept me shunned
I was treated bad cause of what I was.
You call me freak
You call me weird
You never got to know who I am
But that's okay. You all suck. I know who I really am.
I was never one of you!
I was never one of you!
You kept me down
You made feel I was alone
You were never my real friends!
I was never one of you!
I was never one of you!
When I needed you the most!
No one came!
When you wanted something
that's when you decided to show!
You mad it clear!
I was always the outsider looking in!
I was never one you!
I was never one of you!
I was never one of you!
I WAS NEVER ONE YOU!

Chapter Text
"So what do you want to sing next?" Erik asks.
"Not sure. I was thinking of a cover song this time. Lady Gaga maybe." Alison said.
"Until it happens to you," Erik suggests.
"You know about Lady Gaga?" Alison asks.
"This version seems...ANGRY. More passion is great of course." Alison said.
"That's because it's for the mutants struggling to deal with being themselves." Erik lies through his teeth. It's a lie of course. For how can he tell her the truth. That the real reason he agreed to this is so he can let out his frustrations towards the assholes known as the X-men.
You tell me it gets better,
it gets better in time
You say I'll pull myself together,
pull it together,
you'll be fine
TELL ME WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW!
WHAT DO YOU KNOW!
Till it happens to you,
you don't know how it feels!,
how it feels
Till it happens to you,
you won't know,
it won't be real
No, it won't be real,
won't know how it feels
You tell me to hold your head up,
hold your head up and be strong
'Cause when you fall you gotta get up,
you gotta get up and move on
Tell me HOW THE HELL COULD YOU TALK!
HOW CAN YOU TALK!
'Cause until you walk where I walk,
this is no joke!
Till it happens to you,
you don't know how it feels,
how it feels
Till it happens to you,
you won't know, it won't be real
(how could you, know?)
No, it won't be real
(how could you know?)
Won't know how I feel
Till your world burns and crashes
Till you're at the end,
the end of your rope
Till you're standing in my shoes
I don't wanna hear a thing from you,
from you, from you
'Cause you don't know!
Till it happens to you,
you don't know how I feel,
how I feel!
How I feel
Till it happens to you,
you won't know, it won't be real
(how could you know?)
No, it won't be real
(how could you know?)
Won't know how it feels
Till it happens to you
Happens to you
Happens to you
Happens to you
Happens to you
Happens to you
(how could you know?)
Till it happens to you
You won't know how I feel.
Notes:
I don't know which actor is in your head when you think about Dazzler but just imagine her pulling off Lada gaga AND Bonnie Tyler total eclipse of the heart.
