Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride or 3 Doors down. As a matter of fact, I don't own anything.
It was almost over, I had almost saved the world. There was only one thing to do. It was the highest price that I'd ever give and I'm not sure if I'm up for it. If I gave in, none of my questions would be answered. Why was I here? What was my destiny? Who were my parents? My life wouldn't make anymore sense than it did now, which it didn't.
How did I get here? My flock wanted me to stop trying to save the world, but I didn't. I went off alone and got myself captured. I've been in this tank for a few months now. Itex wants me to do one last thing.
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I sat in the corner of the tank, feeling alone. The only thing that kept me company was the voice, but it was being a little quiet. I sat there, thinking of the flock, of the world outside of this tank. I would give anything to see the faces of the flock again, their many expressions, before I had to do what I had to do.
I miss the life
I miss the colors of the world
Can anyone tell where I am
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away form the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
My throat got tight. I was sick of having to do this; to be the hero. I wanted to be saved for once, but I guess that just can't be me. I wandered if my flock would come to save me, but I bet they're long gone. If not dead, then probably rejoicing in the fact that I'm not there to boss them around. The thought of it made me mad. I've made my decision. I'm giving up.
I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know
I started fighting back sobs
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light to way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
I am giving up. I'm sorry to anyone that cares for me still out there. I'm sorry flock. I failed you at my one and only chance. I'm sorry Mom and Dad, to whom I never knew. There's no chance for you or me now. I'm sorry
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done
The door to the tank opened. It was Jeb, the one who taught me everything I knew.
"You've had time to make your decision, sweetie. Are you coming?"
"Yes." He grabbed my hand. By saying 'yes', that implies to them to do whatever they want with me. What else could I do? I was saving the world right now. A single tear fell from my eye.
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
