A/N: The words that are Italicized are lyrics. Everything else is Axel's POV.Tell me if you like the concept or idea at all, I wasn't sure how well it would go over.

I believe I can see the future

Cause I repeat the same routine

I think I used to have a purpose

But then again

That might have been a dream

I remember you, but do you don't remember me. I can recall what it was like when you were here- with me. But now your gone and I think I have turned into the one thing that everyone thinks I should be, a mindless drone under the control of the superior.

I think I used to have a voice

Now I never make a sound

I just do what I've been told

I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

When I was with you I could feel- really feel. I don't care if they were ghosts of feelings or fleeting memories, they were precious to me. The hardest one came when you left- left me alone here to rot. When I was with you I had a personality, a voice in this decelant world, but that might just be my faulty memory.

Every day is exactly the same

Every day is exactly the same

There is no love here and there is no pain

Every day is exactly the same

I can clock every movement of everyday by a clock. The soft clicking of it on my wall timing my every movement in stride. I once tried to get out of tempo, a footstep off the click, but it somehow caught up. I dream about the clock sometimes, how it seems to dictate my life more than I do.

I can feel their eyes are watching

In case I lose myself again

Sometimes I think I'm happy here

Sometimes, yet I still pretend

I can't remember how this got started

But I can tell you exactly how it will end

When you first left- I fought it. I argued with them, their cold emotionless gazes. They keep telling me that my place is here, and you were the traitor, anything that I felt was my own imagination. We can't feel- we have no use for it. But isn't feeling our goal? Even if we all got hearts, I think ever single one of them would be broken.

Every day is exactly the same

Every day is exactly the same

There is no love here and there is no pain

Every day is exactly the same

I grimly watch as everyone sits around and studies the reports that have been given out, just like the day before- and the day before that. I can still hear the clock ticking every time I turn a page, or walk out to meet my next assignment. In the back of my mind, I hope one of these assignments will lead my back to you.

I'm writing on a little piece of paper

I'm hoping someday you might find

Well I'll hide it behind something

They won't look behind

I have a journal, they don't know about it. I keep it with me most of the time, but I write down my memories or distant feelings. I have tried to relay each thought, so if I never find you- you will know I was thinking of you. As I write the clock becomes off tempo- for once not dictating my movements.

I'm still inside here

A little bit comes bleeding through

I wish this could have been any other way

But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

My emotional out lashes have turned to none. I can see my eyes have become dimmer and the clock still chimes on the hour, or with each step I take. I need to get out of here, but where else can I go? I am losing the bit of myself I still have, please keep the last bit of me- you're the only one who has any anymore,

Every day is exactly the same

Every day is exactly the same

There is no love here and there is no pain

Every day is exactly the same

Every day is exactly the same. I have no feeling, and loss is immanent. I have lost the losing battle- you can no longer save me and I can no longer save myself. Just keep that last part of me, won't you do that for me...

Roxas...

Every day is exactly the same

Every day is exactly the same

There is no love here and there is no pain

Every day is exactly the same
