1.2 Second Chance
*
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
*
In Manticore they'd taught us never to forget the objective. Never forget that the mission meant everything. That had mattered to Zack more than anyone. He liked having a purpose. That message anchored in his mind so well that even ten years after the escape, he never stopped looking over his shoulder. He never forgot what was after him and he never stopped looking out for us.
Now its my turn to return the favour, big brother.
So why do I feel like I want him back already? I know. I'm feeling selfish.But for a second there, when he stopped in from of me in that wheelchair, wearing that ridiculous bathrobe that Zack, the Zack I knew wouldn't be caught in, and gazed in my eyes, asking in that inquisitive nature he'd always had whether he know me, I nearly compromised the the mission. My heart was screaming, YES! I'm your Maxie. But a cold voice I hardly recognized as my own said, "No". Afterwards, I thought, how could I have been so calm? So nonchalant. But I had to. That's what I'll keep telling myself.
For a second, my mind raced through all the possibilities of going with Zack. But if he remembered me, he would become the Manticore trained assassin he'd been before. Zack had gone through so much on account of me. I didn't want him to have blood on his hands because of my need to be with him. Besides, it was enough that I'd made Logan a paraplegic. Somehow I don't think he'd appreciate being dead.
Besides, even if he didn't remember Max or Manticore, I'd put him in danger. I'll always be a danger to him. He could disappear from Manticore's reach forever as Adam. But if I was with him, Manticore would catch up with him. Two X-5s together are easy bait. He had sacrificed enough for me. How ironic? All this time, Zack had been right about keeping us apart. Together, we'd became careless. Distracted by our feelings.
Zack said to me once, "How could I forget a thing about you Maxie?" Now that is what keeps us apart.
But sometimes, I daydream that I did go with him and we rediscovered each other all over again, in another life, where Manticore doesn't exist. Where nothing can split us apart. We'd lose ourselves in each other.
But we live here, in this life, in this world. That's why it has to be this way. We have to be apart. Manticore training finally taught me something, gave me the strength to complete the mission
.
That's just it. This is more than any ordinary mission. This is Zack. The one I'd always relied on. How would I survive on my own? With him gone, I'm truly alone.
1.3 Do I know you?
Better than I know myself
*
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
