…The dark is everywhere
And Penny doesn't seem to care
That soon the dark in me is all that will remain…
Penny.
She was all it came down to.
Moist had tried- tried to keep him anchored to reality.
It didn't work.
And I won't feel
A thing…
Numb.
He didn't care anymore.
He couldn't- caring hurt too much.
Caring made him feel.
Listen close to everybody's heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground…
Pain.
If he stopped to think, he wouldn't be able to do it.
She would disapprove- but what did it matter?
What really mattered?
All that matters: taking matters into your own hands…
Nothing.
That was it, plain and simple.
The one time he had loved- the time he had hoped- and it all came crashing down.
He knew it would; but then he didn't.
I just think you need time to know
That I'm the guy to make it real
The feelings you don't dare to feel
I'll bend the world to our will
And we'll make time stand still
That's the plan
Rule the world
You and me…
Hope.
He wondered what it felt like.
He had known, of course, once- but the fleeting love held lifelong pain.
Now the nightmare's real
Now Dr. Horrible is here
To make you quake with fear
To make the whole world kneel…
Never again.
Never again would he let himself love.
And that's why it was happening, wasn't it?
That was why the world was in pain:
He ruled everything- but controlled nothing.
A man without love- nothing. He was nothing.
There's no happy ending
So they say
Not for me anyway…
…
But who knew nothing could hurt so much?
