Authors Notes: This is something I'm not sure about. I put it together after hearing this song. I planned on doing a full song fic but this is what came out because every line spoke to me. You can read them separately or together. The song is one story and Riddick's thoughts make another one.
This is unbeta'd

In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
The name of the hell we crashed landed on was T2,

I found a flower at my feet,
there was a teenage girl named Jack,

Bending there in my direction.
She became my shadow, I became her hero.

I wrapped a hand around its stem,
I went back to save her from the monsters,

And I pulled until the roots gave in,
when she wrapped her arms around my neck,

Finding now what I've been missing,
she became my world

And I know…
I can't stay,

So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.
she's better off without me.

There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I stayed with her for two months.

I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...
but the Mercs were breathin' down my neck...

All because of you,
I had to walk away

I haven't slept in so long.
I worried the mercs would hurt her to get to me

When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean,
The mercs will figure it out
she's my weakness,

Longing for the shore
where I can let my head down,
I can't go back
no matter how much I want to,

I'll follow your voice;
I can still her her crying;

All you have to do is
shout it out.
When she screamed my name
as I walked away.

Inside my hands these petals browned;
Her innocence was fading;

Dried up, falling to the ground
a killer was taking it's place

But it was already too late now.
I left in hopes she'd realize

I push my fingers through the earth,
killing's not a way of life

Return this flower to the dirt;
I turned her over to Imam to raise

So it can live, I walk away now.
She'd have a chance at life, without me now

But I know…
It was too late for us both

Not a day goes by that I don't feel it's burn
I'm nothing without her

There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I knew I should've left her on that planet

I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...
I can't stay away any longer...

All because of you,
I'm heading back to see her

I haven't slept in so long.
I need to know she's alright

When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
The only color I can remember
is the green of her eyes;

longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
I tried to stay away
I can't live without you

I'll follow your voice;
Say may name, Jack;

all you have to do is
shout it out!
Just one more time
Riddick!

All because of you.
My heart is pounding

All because of you.
I'm disregarding everything

All because of you,
I'm coming back to find you

I haven't slept in so long.
I need you with me.

When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
Five long years now
I've tried to deny you

longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
All this time you knew
I'd be back for you

Inside these arms of yours.
It's where I belong

All because of you
I'm turning my life around

I believe in angels.
It's finally time I claim you

Not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos;
You sure have grown
you were always beautiful;

the kind that bring you home
when home becomes a strange place.
I'm at peace when you touch me
you're all I've ever wanted

I'll follow your voice;
You said once you loved me;


all you have to do is
shout it out!
Let me hear you say it again
I love you, too
