I don't own Naruto- if I did, Sasuke would be dead and Itachi would still be badass and alive. Songfic, Animal I Have Become, Three Days Grace. Don't own that either.
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I thrash under the covers of my bed as the covers choke me, trap me until I call the sand, and shred everything in the room. I don't sleep again.
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
"Yashamaru, do you hate me?" My young voice quivers. I wait, afraid to hear the answer. That night, the full moon shone upon blood. Tonight my blood mingled with the blood of kin, dripped from a wound called 'love'.
Somebody help me tame this animal!
This animal, this animal
I can't escape myself
So many times I've lied
But there's still rage inside
I stalk through the streets of Suna. The light of a full moon gleams off the river of blood that follows me, surrounds me. The moonlight illuminates the spotless white robe I wear. The moon's light cannot light my bloodstained soul, or the sand that haunts my shadows.
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
I curl on the floor, twitching and trembling. I yearn for the sweet release of sleep that is forbidden to me. For me, sleep comes with the cost of my soul.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
Is there no solace for me, a place of strength and comfort, a place of rest and reassurance? Must I merely exist, living only to kill?
I can't escape this hell
This animal, this animal
This animal, this animal
This animal, this animal
This animal
He whispers to me, tempting me to give in, let the sand bury me as it has buried so many others, and let him free. 'Let me loose' he says, 'and we'll kill, and kill, and kill.'
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Is that a light in this blood-soaked darkness? Is someone calling my name? Is someone there? Someone who shares this pain? What is that soft glow? Hope? Love? Does someone care about me, this blood soaked child? Will you help me find the path to the sunlight, away from the shadows?
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal!
This animal I have become
Another good song I listened to while writing this was Call Me by Shinedown. Hope you enjoyed, please reveiw.
