"Blurry"-Puddle of Mudd

Everything's so blurry

And everyone's so fake

Not this again. Every time, every single time that I was left to myself-I started thinking about him again. And not in a good way, not as a teammate, not as a rival. Not even as a friend-I thought of him as-well, as my everything.

And everybody's empty

And everything is so messed up

It sucks being here, being away-I'm learning, I'm becoming more powerful, but at the same time, I can't stand it. I feel like I'm going insane, here with Orochimaru the pedophile. I try to give off the impression of being brainwashed, but I'm not sure if it's working.

Preoccupied without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

I really can't stop thinking about him. Mental images float through my weary brain at night when I can't sleep. Him, what he's like on the outside and…the inner him. The Nine-Tailed Fox, Kyuubi.

You could be my someone, you could be my scene

You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene

I wonder what you're doing, imagine where you are

There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far

I wonder, in my spare time, what he's doing. He seems so far away from the life that I'm living. Idiot. Idiot. Stop thinking about him. He likes that pink-haired bitch, anyways. You don't have a chance in hell.

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me…

What would life be like had I stayed? Would this gaping hole in my chest disappear? Will it now if I go back to him? Does he even like me? Could he take my pain away if I let him, if he somehow, inexplicably, liked me as more than a friend?

Everyone is changing

There's no one left that's real

So make up your own ending

And let me know just how you feel…

Everything is different now. I'm different, life is different, he's probably different, too. My old life in Konoha seems so…surreal, I guess would be the best word. I wish there was a way for Naruto to contact me and tell me how he feels, even though it would involve a lot of yelling and cursing.

Nobody told me what you thought

Nobody told me what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Told you when to run away

Nobody told you where to hide

Nobody told you what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Showed you when to run away

He seemed to know, instinctively-and yet he fought. I don't think he's truly stupid, just acting. He's intelligent. Behind those beautiful eyes lie so many secrets, and it's hard to know what he's thinking. Unlike Kakashi, he doesn't need a tangible mask to hide his emotions. Naruto just…hides behind a mask of hyper knucklehead.

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me…

I sincerely doubt it.
