Dancing Fingers: Dance #1

Good morning, challengers!

Here is my first prompt for you: write a short story inspired by the song Seether - Rise Above This.

I am aware that not everyone's music tastes might match mine, so just to make sure I don't offend anyone by "forcing" them to listen to something they might find disturbing, I am placing the lyrics below:

"Take the light, undarken everything around me
Call the clouds and listen closely I'm lost without you
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow
And everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me

Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day when I seem so helpless
I've fallen down, and I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt

I'll mend myself before it gets me 
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me 
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)

Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless
I'm Falling down, falling down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this, 
Rise above this, rise above this doubt"

For the others unafraid of letting their ears tickled by a bit of aternative rock, check out their official video to see what it's all about.
