Bring Me to Life
An Alice Songfic
"How can you see into my eyes, Like open doors? Leading you down into my core,
Where everything's so numb."
It was raining again. It always seems to rain, these days. I stare out my window, watching the tiny droplets pitter against the window, then fall down in little beads. I shiver, its so cold in the asylum. Its after hours, and I should be asleep, but I just cant..
"It fills your soul.
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there and lead It back. Home."
Not with the dreams I have. Everytime I close my eyes, I can see them, my friends, from Wonderland. Calling out to me. They need help, I can feel it, something's happening to their world, and I want to help them. I really do, but I'm scared.
"(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) Call my name and save me From the dark, Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become."
Thunder crashes. It's time, I know it. Time I stop being afraid, being scared. I cannot last one more night, one more day, with their screaming in my head. With their pain on my mind. I'm going back. Tonight, I'm going back to Wonderland. I repeat this over and over in my mind, hoping it will reassure me. It does, as I soundlessly lay down on my bed and close my eyes.
"Now that I know what I'm without, You can't just leave me. Breathe into me And make me real" "Bring Me. To Life."
I feel my world, my reality, slipping. My whole bed seems to fall out from under me, I quickly reach for my stuffed rabbit in fear, but he is no where to be found. I'm falling now, down the rabbit hole once more. I snap open my eyes, and see darkness all around me. My body twists involentarily, and I land softly, on unseen ground. But what is that? There, ahead of me! It's a looking glass!
"Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, Darling, only you are the light among the dark."
I run as fast as I can up to it, finally slamming against it. Rubbing my cold hands over its smooth surface. Even though it was just an object, nothing more, I was so happy to see it. But, something was wrong. Why wasn't I able to pass through?
"(All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see, Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, Got to open my eyes to everything
(Without thought, Without a voice, Without a soul)
Don't let me die here, There must be something more.
Bring Me To Life"
Slowly, I lowered to my knees and sat, crying softly. It seemed I had ignored Wonderland, my only escape, so long, that it doesn't want me anymore. Even worse, what it Wonderland has already been destroyed? No, I wont let that happen. I look up, and suddenly, shadows pass on the other side of the looking glass. Yes! There is something there! Wonderland! I get up and take a few paces back, readying myself. Then run full force at the mirror.
"(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me!) Call my name and save me from the dark"
"Bid my blood to run, Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring Me To Life"
I hit the glass, momentarily waiting. For a second, the surface is smooth, then, a long cracking sound fills the air. It is followed by many more, then suddenly, the looking glass shatters completely, and I fall through. Small, glittering pieces of glass fly and float everywhere, like a dazzling blizzard. None of them cut me as I fall through the golden frame of the once beautiful mirror, then fall into the depths of the darkness below me, uttering a few last words...
"Wonderland, where are you know?"
"(I've been living a lie, There's nothing inside.)
Bring Me To Life."
