A/N: Well, here's another chapter and another songfic. Hell, all of the new chapters might end up being songfics, so I'm gonna do the disclaimer for all of em right here: I DON'T OWN EM!!! Neways, it's the song "Drowning" by Adema, and I hope ya like it!

I gave into the stress in life

I can't escape

The pressure seems to get me down

It's like a needle in my spine

It stings inside

Poisons me with time

I can't deal with your life

It's amazing. The price I pay to live. I sacrifice both my pride and my freedom to this tyrant to keep myself alive long enough to kill the detestable lizard-looking freak. Serving him is enough to make any Saiyajin sick.

I grimace as pain lances up my spine in reminder of the earlier beating I had taken several hours ago at the hands of the very same warlord. I have only been on this ship for a little over two years now, and yet Frieza has already singled me out as his favorite plaything.

I wince again as I try testing my broken tail. The sadistic bastard all but crushed the bone structure before he was satisfied with his handiwork. I had to practically drag myself back to my room and into my bed.

Fortunately, neither Nappa nor the newly found Radditz were around when it happened. If they had been, I would've been forced to kill them. No one will know of this humiliation if I can help it.

I put both of my hands behind my head, flinching as some of my numerous, freshly received cuts and bruises are pressed into the satiny sheets. This is usually one of the only places I allow myself to wander in thought. Doing so anywhere else is suicide on this ship. Of course, the reason that I can is because no one except for Frieza would dare enter my room unannounced.

I wish I could watch you drown and die

And take my time

Has always been a problem

Can't you see?

I don't fit in

Your life

I'll kill him one day. I just have to bide my time. Unfortunately, the Saibamen have become nothing more than useless toys to me now. I have become far stronger than they are, and I have resorted to using the dictator's soldiers as my mostly unwilling training 'partners'. That is why I was beaten today. So what if I slaughter a couple hundred of his pathetic warriors? Apparently it was the fact that I truly didn't give a damn that pissed the Icejin off the most.

The frozen king then proceeded to beat the living hell out of me, and if that wasn't enough, the bastard informed me afterwards that I would have to go on a purging mission in a week. There is no way that my tail will mend before then without an isolation chamber. That is exactly what the stupid fucker is going for. My tail will stand out like a beacon in the night with this damn bandage on it. That will prompt whatever species I am exterminating to go for it, and I'm sure as hell not going to take the bandage off and let my tail heal crooked.

Then again, wounded or not, there is no species that can stand up to me. I can annihilate anything I wish to. Of course, I have to wait for some of them, but time is something that I have plenty of. A true warrior always has the patience to accomplish his goals.

I am the legendary Super Saiyajin, and one day I will prove it to that overbearing bastard that I am stronger than him. That day will truly be my most glorious. I cannot wait to see the pain that will fill the tyrant's visage as I transform and slowly kill him. He will pay for everything he has done to me with his blood, and I will settle for no less than that.

People have said (They have said)

I'm not okay (I'm not okay)

I lost my mind

Numb me till I won't feel pain again

It's like a needle in my spine

It stings inside

Poisons me with time

I won't deal with your life

For now, however, I must concentrate on my healing. Exterminating entire races requires quite a bit of energy. Energy that I do not have to spare right now. I have to rest for the remainder of the day. I will not simply stay in bed all week, though. Although I need to, I refuse to show weakness to Frieza. He will not break me, and I plan to make him realize it.

I know that there is another motive behind these constant beatings besides the psychotic fucker's own sadistic pleasure and trying to break my spirit. The warlord is attempting to make me like him. He is trying to carve a cold, emotionless mold for me, and it is somewhat working. My emotions other than hate and rage are slipping farther away each day, but I welcome the change. In fact, I am working to eliminate all feelings in my psyche besides the said two. It will make me much stronger to be without all the other frivolous emotions.

I can outlast this torture long enough to kill him. I know this. I have to do this. I will show him that I should be the true ruler of the universe. After all, I am a prince, and what is he? Absolutely nothing. He has no royal blood in him, and he is not fit to oversee this universe.

I wish I could watch you drown and die

And take my time

Has always been a problem

Can't you see?

I don't fit in

Your life

It all boils down to one fact: I must stand alone in life. Nappa and Radditz may bow down to me and accept me as their prince, but I will never truly have a friend. I must undertake everything in my way by myself. That is the way that it has to be, for all will turn on me if it means saving their own skin. That is the way the universe works.

It doesn't matter, anyway. I can handle anything that is in my path, and I will.

Life is dark

I have no one

Life is dark

I am no one

Life is dark

I am alone
