Hey everyone! ^^ I found this song while googling something and thought it'd make a great songfic... Read and Review... and you know, if you listen to the song while reading this, it's always bettah! Enjoy! ^^ Fey
Marlene walked outside her cave, the rain pounding steadily down, drenching her fur, creating hoops in hoops in her pool, revealing the bright green of the grass around her. It felt so good, so alive.
*music starts*
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
Marlene slipped into her pool, her wet fur becoming wet.
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
She looked at the empty habitats around her.
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
Strangely, she felt so alive!
And why can't I let it go
She stepped out of the pool and laid on her back in the wet grass.
There's gotta be more to life...
Marlene ripped out several blades of grass and sat up.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
The penguins crossed her mind, especially Skipper's ice-blue eyes.
Cause the more that I'm...
Marlene gripped the empty air around her and stood up.
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
Her heart flew out into the sky... suddenly she felt so trapped within the zoo walls.
Well it's life, but I'm sure...
Instincts took over her body, shaking it. Suddenly, she tensed.
There's gotta be more
Her mind was made up.
(Than wanting more)
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
A lonesome figure scampered through the Central Park, dangereous, yet free.
Here in this moment
Pictures of penguins, zoo walls, and her pool left the otter's mind as she tore away, slashing the ground with her sharp nails.
I'm half-way out the door
Frightened pigeons flew out of her path, as the otter ran past them.
Onto the next thing,
Her heart was beating escatically, her breathing steady and free.
I'm searching for something that's missing.
Finally, she stopped, turning around and around on her two feet, until she fell on her back.
There's gotta be more to life...
The wildness left her eyes, as she became Marlene once again.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Marlene was in control of herself, adrenaline pumping through her every vein.
Cause the more that I'm...
She looked around herself, watched her surroundings.
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
By the pond where Mother Duck and her chicks lived.
Well it's life, but I'm sure...
Marlene dipped herself into the pond, letting the water envelop her body, then her face.
There's gotta be more
A few blank thoughts crossed her mind, as Marlene watched the surface of the water from below.
(Than wanting more)
I'm wanting more
The sun shone through the sky's teardrops.
I'm always waiting on something other than this
Marlene made angel motions in the water, swimming slowly...
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed...
She stopped and opened her mouth to let a few bubbles out...
Always... Always...
There's gotta be more to life...
Marlene broke through the surface of the pond, the water spilling from all over her, falling back, creating small waves.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
The otter watched the water, rippling and alive.
Cause the more that I'm...
This is how she wanted to be. Alive!
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
She made her mind up. Again.
Well it's life, but I'm sure...
She'd live life for it's fullest now. Even without Skipper.
There's gotta be more
Marlene smiled joyfully, then climbed out of the pool.
(Than wanting more)
There's gotta be more to life...
The dew sparkled around her, as she walked.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
The sun fell on her smooth wet fur, making it gleam.
Cause the more that I'm...
Her eyes were gleaming, too.
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
She finally reached the border.
Well it's life, but I'm sure...
Now she had to decide.
There's gotta be more
(Than wanting more)
More to life
The otter made her decision and stepped over the border.
There's gotta be more to life (more to life)
There's gotta be more to life (more)
To a new life.
More to my life...
I'm not quite sure what happened myself... ^^ ask Marlene if she left the zoo to the wild or decided to start over with her friends... What did you think? PLEASE REVIEW! Uh, I mainly wrote this, cuz I'm bored? This wouldn't be my best songfic... I can do better, I bet... but yeah... :D Ever felt like that? Just running in the rain and getting all wet and feeling sooooo alive? REVIEW! xD
