-1It was as if everyone had forgotten him.

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture is there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care

He sat on the tree branch in the middle of the forest near Kadic. A small metallic object was in his pocket.

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture is there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care

He was tired of fighting. Tired of fighting with his friends. Tired of fighting with Xana. Tired of fighting with everyone.

There's a place so dark you can't see the end

(Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend

The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question

Forcefully, the power of suggestion

Then with the eyes shut / looking though the rust and rot

And dust / a spot of light floods the floor

And pours over the rusted world of pretend

The eyes ease open and its dark again

He was tired of all of the pain, hatred and frustration that came from fighting a losing battle.

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture is there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care

He hated all of the bad things in the world. All the death. All of the corruption. All of the lies.

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

For a time he lived by telling himself that soon it will be over. Soon. Soon it will.

Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs

Pollution manifested in perpetual sound

The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind

Street lamps, chain-link and concrete

A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats

On down the street till the wind is gone

The memory now is like the picture was then

When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

He wondered if it was worth it. Risking life day after day. What if life just ended?

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture is there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care

Soon he told himself.

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture is there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care

He pulled the knife from his pocket.

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

Why wait?

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

All life ends.

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

Soon, so would his.

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

Why not?

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

Its not as if anyone would stop him.

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

Someone was at the base of the tree. She was dressed in black.

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

Seeing the knife in his hand, she looked at him.

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

"Don't do it," she whispered, taking the knife.

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

She leaned over and kissed him. After a moment, he kissed back.

In the memory, you will find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

"I love you," they both said at the same time. She was the reason.
