Lose Myself

DarkSlayer84

Author's Note: This one kind of freaks me out, because I can actually see Trinity diving off the building, face contorted with anger as she spits the rhymes out in Johnson's face. It doesn't precisely fit the beat, but it's the best I can do (I overbalanced in favor of extra beats, actually...)

Disclaimer: Matrix belongs to the Wachowski Brothers, and the Brothers Warner. "Lose Myself" belongs to Eminem. Agent Smith should belong to me, but that's an entirely different story.

TRINITY throws herself out the window. The wind whistles and glass goes rushing by, frozen in space like bits of ice, cutting her as it passes. At this strange moment in time, the end is the beginning is the end, and the look on TRINITY's face says she understands that as the beat starts.

TRINITY: Look, it's about one shot, one bullet inside me
Just leave, you're all they wanted
One moment
Couldn't hold me back and I let it slip

My palms are sweaty, knees buckle, heart's heavy
Preparing for the worst of the end already, it's curtains for me
Terrified inside but on the surface calm and ready
Running along puttin' bullets in Johnson
But it's useless, see I'd forgotten
Agents can't die, keep hittin' the trigger
But the clip's gone out
Keep hopin', Reloadin', but it's over now
The whole world slows down, the clock's run out, show's over, done!

Hellish unreality, look there goes gravity,
Oh there goes Trinity, she jumped
Hit the pavement, cracked
Can it? No
I won't have it
I know my whole purpose, all my hopes
Don't matter, they're you
You know that, you dope
It's 'cause of my love that you know
When I go back to Zion or a greater home, that's when it's
Back to the Neb again oh
Screw the whole Prophecy
I'll capture this moment and hope it don't pass you ('Bye)

I'm gonna lose myself in our mem'ry, our moment
I'll own it, I won't ever let it go
I've only got one shot, I can't have misplaced my hope

MORPHEUS: Trinity helped to free us all, Neo.

TRINITY: I'm gonna lose myself in our mem'ry, our moment
I'll own it, I won't ever let it go
I've only got one shot, I can't have misplaced my hope

MORPHEUS: Trinity helped to free us all, Neo.

TRINITY: My code's escaping
Through this wound that is gaping
In me

AGENT JOHNSON: This world is mine for the taking, make me king!

NEO: As we move toward a new world order
Unplugged life is boring
But the Matrix is close to post-mortem

TRINITY: It only grows harder
Only grows hotter
Tougher than the puzzles in Harry Potter

NEO: It's all lonely roads,
Morpheus knows
He's lost and alone without a dream to follow
Back in a Zion life he barely knows his own
He locks horns with Locke, but here goes the cold water
The Council don't want him no more, he's kicked out by an old goat.
They moved on to Niobe, whose clothes
Are much hotter, made by Prada

TRINITY: So the Prophecy's lies just unfold
I suppose it's old, partner,
But the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

I'm gonna lose myself in our mem'ry, our moment
I'll own it, I won't ever let it go
I've only got one shot, I can't have misplaced my hope

MORPHEUS: Trinity helped to free us all, Neo.

TRINITY: I'm gonna lose myself in our mem'ry, our moment
I'll own it, I won't ever let it go
I've only got one shot, I can't have misplaced my hope

MORPHEUS: Trinity helped to free us all, Neo.

TRINITY: You'd better--!

NEO: No more games, gonna change what you call rage
Tearing down those bullets like cheap wallpaper paste
I was playin' in the beginnin', now you'll taste my pain
I been shot at and stabbed at and kicked in the brain

But I kept tryin' and finally got the drop on the Agents
Best believe I wouldn't be lettin' Trinity die and
All the pain she feels amplified by the fact
That the goddamn Oracle stabbed us in the back

And I can't provide, the right kind of time, to dodge bullets
And man, Link's antics won't buy her survival
This ain't no movie, no need to be hyper, this is my life
And this fight is so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin' to keep all my friends alive, plus
See destiny caught up in Twins and that Persephone prima donna
And ravin' Zion drama screamin' on and

TRINITY: It's too much for me
To stay in one spot,
Another victim of scripts that've just
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot
Whether I get killed by a Twin or not

NEO: Success is the One's only option, failure's not
Trin, I love you so it's off I go
(This Superman thing's gettin' kind of old)
To save your butt!

TRINITY: So here I go, this is my shot
Love, fail me not
'Cause this may be
The only opportunity
That I've got

I'm gonna lose myself in our mem'ry, our moment
I'll own it, I won't ever let it go
I've only got one shot, I can't have misplaced my hope

MORPHEUS: Trinity helped to free us all, Neo.

TRINITY:I'm gonna lose myself in our mem'ry, our moment
I'll own it, I won't ever let it go
I've only got one shot,
(Weakly)
I can't have misplaced my hope...

Even in bullet-time, the fall is only so long, and the ground is rushing up to meet TRINITY's broken body with evilly gleeful speed.

And at the last moment, he's there.

NEO: Damn it, Trinity, you're gonna live! I won't let go!

TRINITY looks up, opens her eyes with a blink, and smiles at him. They have a big kissing scene...

Followed by NEO awaking with a start, TRINITY sleeping peacefully beside him.

NEO: Hell of a dream.

And somewhere far away, in a hail of glass and bullets, a woman in shining black vinyl does a swan-diving backflip off the back of a building. As she lands in a catlike stance, the building explodes.

TRINITY (softly): You can do anything you set your mind to, man.

-END?-
