Numb

Author's note: This is dedicated to all the "good Draco"-fans out there (even though I don't agree with you, Draco is a slimy, evil little git). If he'd be good, this is how I think he'd feel. (the last chorus is supposed to be repeated, but I decided to skip that because it became too much and I was just ranting on without any ideas, so it didn't turn out well the first time. I hope you won't mind)

Draco thinks about his father and his legacy (feel free to choose when in time)

*~*~*~*~*

[I'm tired of being what you want me to be]

You never gave me choice

[Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface]

If I could only make you see the real me

[I don't know what you're expecting of me]

Behind this mask I wear

[Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes]

All you want to see is you

[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]

Please let me out of here

[Every step that I take is another mistake to you]

I can't breathe with you here

~*~

[I've become so numb]

How many times do I have to die?

[I can't feel you there]

How many times are you going to kill me?

[Become so tired]

I can't do this much longer

[So much more aware]

I'm not as strong as you think

[I'm becoming this]

I'm becoming something I hate

[All I want to do]

Something you like

[Is be more like me]

I'm drifting away

[And be less like you]

Into you

~*~

[Can't you see that you're smothering me]

Just leave me alone with myself for once

[Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control]

Let me release the tears

['Cause everything that you thought I would be]

Free me from this pain

[Has fallen apart right in front of you]

Before I break in front of you

[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]

I can't fight back

[Every step that I take is another mistake to you]

I have nowhere else to go

[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]

They won't take me in

[And every second I waste is more than I can take]

They won't understand

~*~

[I've become so numb]

Seeing my future in you scares me

[I can't feel you there]

I've waited for a saviour for too long now

[Become so tired]

But I can't save myself any longer

[So much more aware]

I'll die here again

[I'm becoming this]

Until you see that I'm not like you

[All I want to do]

How wonderful to close my eyes

[Is be more like me]

And rest for the rest of eternity

[And be less like you]

Far away from you

~*~

[And I know I may end up failing too]

Some day I'll let you know

[But I know you were just like me]

I'll make you see

[With someone disappointed in you]

What you've seen in you, but never seen in me

~*~

[I've become so numb]

Let me run away

[I can't feel you there]

Let me find myself

[Become so tired]

And I'll betray you for your betrayal

[So much more aware]

I've seen them

[I'm becoming this]

They all have something I don't have

[All I want to do]

True smiles

[Is be more like me]

And I have something they don't have

[And be less like you]

Tears of true pain
