Summary: (badump badump) Ever hear the sound of a Nobody pleading? (akuroku) Fairy-tales don't exist, or they say (badump badump)

Echo Of...

What is this? This noise?

badump

What?

badump

Heartbeat... Steady rhythm and beat...

badump badump

Hunger surges. Want, need for that never-land feeling. That echo of a tainted heart.

Darkness threatens and consumes. Dares you - take that deep-deep breath and give in to that almost-never sensation.

Taste it.

Break it.

Steal it, so some part of it is yours.

(heartless)

Soul-craves, the Leader calls it.

Wants are natural, needs are all play-pretend.

badump

Still though...

badump

Emerald and crimson... Ego and flames...

That envious spark of some kind of feeling.

Take it.

Break it.

Dare to take what isn't yours.

Make something that you can both pretend exists.

A heartbeat - or echo of.

So you can return a feeling you want, he needs.

(nobody)

Do you believe in happy endings?

They say they don't exists...

But, neither do we...

badump

I think it's called... 'hope'.

badump

The rythm of a heart-beat.

badump dadump

It speeds up so much when he's nearby... I can almost fake it's not unreal.

Almost think it isn't an echo-of.

Half a soul, half a heart.

No.

Shell of. Remnants of. Meager traces of nothing.

Nobody wants.

Pitiful.

Yet still... I hear the echo of...

The beg of...

(please-oh-please make it)

Heartbeat?

badump

Feeling?

badump

Existence...

badump badump

...(or the echo of?)...
