Disclaimer: I hate these things. I imagine it's rather obvious. I mean do I look like Naughty Dog? Nooooo…
Sequel to 'Imaginary' one-shot on Jak II, happens after meeting Kor. 'Nother song from Evanescence. This one is written a bit more randomly than 'Imaginary' and a little longer.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Free at last. They can't hurt me anymore. For now on I'll be doing all the hurting.
I'll make them pay
I'll make HIM pay
I won't ever let him touch me again
But there is one I'll never get rid of
He's inside me and I can't escape
He's talking to me now, whispering to let him out
Not gunna do that. Even as I feel phantom claws trail down my spine.
Won't let him out because it means giving up control.
I'll never let any one be in control of me again, not after what HE did
I try to keep walking but I'm too tired
Find a place to rest
Torn will have to wait, the eco injection has taken its toll
Dax curls up on my chest
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
It's on me again
Pushing him down
Hands pummeling my body
It's angry that I defied him
Claws digging in my side
Slaps my face
It doesn't hurt me like HE did anymore
It prefers to beat me now
Can't see the bruises but I feel them
I hate It more than I hate HIM
Only because It looks like me
I want it gone
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
So this is Torn
Why's he getting so close?
Stay back
Don't like the way you look at me
Think you scare me with your knife tricks? I've seen worse things, much worse.
I hate you
It wants to kill you
Wants to kill Daxter but I won't let him.
Completes his challenge
Too easy
We Trip the alarms. Oops
They are coming. It wants free
I run instead
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Turn the water back on
Get Dax out of the pipe
That was funny. Not that I'd tell him that
Back inside the city something's calling me
A familiar statue from long ago
Says it will help me control it
It changes me into It
It's still in control, but so am I. We're blended as one.
Neither of us likes it
WE walk out like this
The guards see us, Call us monster
It wants to kill them
So do I
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end
Get back to the hideout
Ignore the blood stains
Dax doesn't say anything and neither do we, no, its I.
It's only we when I change
Torn gloats about the water being turned on
Big deal
Tries to send us on another mission
But he looks at me, really looks at me, sees the blood splatters, sees the blood coating my hands.
Tells us to clean up and get some rest. Too risky to go out like that he says
I don't care
I leave anyway, ignoring his swearing as the door closes
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Destroy the ammo dump
Leave the area quickly
Guards are coming, drawn by the explosion
Get back to the hideout
Torn's angry
I don't care, the mission was a success. That should be all that mattered
Torn shoves us threw a door, tells us to get cleaned up
Why? The blood doesn't bother me and Dax hasn't said anything.
It likes the blood too
We pretend it's HIS blood
It makes us feel better
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
I'm dreaming again, that I'm back in prison
It isn't there and I'm glad
I don't want to be beaten again
But I almost wish it was
It's better than this
Better than dreaming of HIM
He's pressing me down
My hands are tied
Can't stop him
No! I don't want this
His hands hold my hips as he thrusts into me
Make him stop
It hurts
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
I must have been screaming in my sleep
Daxter looks scared. Torn's frowns as he holds me
Why is he touching me? Why amI letting him?
I don't want to let go.
I feel safer than I have since the Baron locked me away
Daxter's talking but I don't pay attention
Looking at them both I know they want answers.
But I'm not ready to tell
And I'm not sure I ever will be. It won't be so bad, so long as he holds me like this.
He tells me to get some sleep
Don't let me go
Servatis a pereculum.
Servatis a maleficum
Its morning again, Torn acts like nothing happened
Like he didn't hold me until I fell asleep
I pretend this doesn't bother me
Torn still watches me
I don't scream in my sleep any more
Because when I wake up I know he'll be there
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ugh… sappy ending. Not as angsty as the previous one. Oh well. Threw in a little Jak/Torn at the end. They are so right for each other. Since I play the song as I'm writing I am now so sick of listening to 'Imaginary' and 'whisper'. Don't get me wrong they're great songs but I can take only so much. Review me please!
