Faker (comics)
Faker is a six-issue comic book limited series that started in July 2007 by Vertigo, written by Mike Carey, art by Jock.
Plot
Minnesota college students Jessica, Yvonne, Marky and Sack are at a party when an ex-girlfriend of Marky's slips a bottle of "Angel's Kiss" into their drinks. Angel's Kiss turns out to be an experimental medium for liquid data storage. Shortly afterwards, a friend of the four students, Nick Philo, turns up in their dorm. After a bizarre series of events, all five come to realize that "Nick", though possessing a physical body, isn't real at all, but is a creation of their minds under the influence of Angel's Kiss.
The five are then abducted by the United States government, the creators of Angel's Kiss, who are now extremely interested in its potential for weapons research as well as data storage. Jessie leads her friends on a breakout of the installation at which they are being held captive, but falls into an entire vat of Angels Kiss in the process; she emerges transformed in some unknown manner. On the run in the open country, Marky and Yvonne are shot and killed by the soldiers pursuing them. Nick dives into a rural reservoir, and his body dissolves, apparently contaminating all the local drinking water with Angel's Kiss. Jessie ultimately escapes but, returning to her old life, finds herself constantly drinking tap water, in the hope of recreating at least part of the reality of Nick's existence.

Be the Twilight
by: FakerYou got the curtain call
Before your hands were tied into the ground.
You got the kitchen hand job easily
You'll be king of this here town.
We're never gonna let you down.
You were pulling tips from nine til five
But that meant nothing without rhyme and elijah round.
So "Give them the kick" was what you said
Was a kiss to your bee stung lips
And the kiss to your bee stung lips
Was a kick to arithmetic.
I''ll take voodoo economics
It's all about danger
You said take voodoo economics
It's all about danger
I want danger, Are you in danger?
You got all happenstance and
Over it when I would drag you down.
You're pulling faces all the time
They mean nothing,
They mean nothing,
They mean nothing,
"Give them the kick" was what you said
"Just you hang up your hands and quit"
So I hang up my hands and quit
Like a kiss to your bee stung lips
I'll take voodoo economics
It's all about danger
'Cause you said voodoo economics,
It's all about danger,
I'm in danger,
You're in danger,
I want danger,
I'm in danger.
You lost the kitchen hand job
before your head was thrown into the ground
You'll be king of this here town.
It's been a little while and I know it
but you'll never never never never ever never
let me down and
"That's it"" was what you said
"Just you hang up you hands and quit"
So I hang up my hands and quit
Like a kiss to your bee stung lips
I'll take voodoo economics
It's all about danger
You said take voodoo economics
Is all about danger
I'm in danger
I'm in danger
Uh huh and I want danger
I want danger
So I hang up my hands and quit
Like a kiss to your bee stung lips
And I hang up my hands and quit
Like a kiss to your bee stung lips
You lost the kitchen hand job
Before your head was thrown into the ground.
