Breaking the Habit
Author's note: This takes place after the final battle (in my version at least). Harry killed Voldemort's human form, but ended up with something worse than both that and his visions: Voldemort's memory and soul. Now, a battle between them takes place within Harry's head. His friends are bewildered and Harry himself is only able to take over his mind short periods at a time. Voldemort still lives inside him.
When I first heard this song, I was sitting on a bus on my way to Poland with my IB-class. The first thought that I thought was Harry Potter. The lyrics just matched an idea I'd had for a few weeks and as I continued to listen, everything fell into place. The lyrics matched how I think Harry would feel in a situation like this, how Voldemort's memories and thoughts would affect him.
In the end, there will be a slight dialogue between Harry and Voldemort, but I'm pretty sure you can make out who's saying what.
Voldemort or Harry thinking

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*~*
[Memories consume]
Looking in the mirror, I see someone else
[Like opening the wounds]
Why is he?
[I'm picking me apart again]
What happened to me?
[You all assume]
They don't know me
[I'm safe here in my room]
They think I'm someone else
[Unless I try to start again]
I know who I am
~*~
[I don't want to be the one]
I am the strongest
[The battles always choose]
I am the past and the future
['Cause inside I realize]
I am power itself
[That I'm the one confused]
Aren't I?
~*~
[I don't know what's worth fighting for]
The call me Harry
[Or why I have to scream]
The look at me with pity and sorrow
[I don't know why I instigate]
Sometimes, it's like I feel him in me
[And say what I don't mean]
He's fighting me still
[I don't know how I got this way]
He is so strong
[I know it's not alright]
He wants to kill me
[So I'm breaking the habit]
But I can't die
[I'm breaking the habit]
I can't
[Tonight]
Die
~*~
[Clutching my cure]
Sometimes, he takes over
[I tightly lock the door]
This insolent little boy defeats me for just a few moments
[I try to catch my breath again]
He knows what has happened
[I hurt much more]
He sees the pain in their eyes and warns them
[Than anytime before]
He brings them hope
[I had no options left again]
But there's no hope left
~*~
[I don't want to be the one]
I feel him coming now
[The battles always choose]
I can't fight him
['Cause inside I realize]
He's not a part of me
[That I'm the one confused]
I'm a part of him
~*~
[I don't know what's worth fighting for]
He overpowers me
[Or why I have to scream]
Am I really this weak?
[I don't know why I instigate]
He's almost here
[And say what I don't mean]
I can't resist
[I don't know how I got this way]
He can't grasp the reality that is now
[I'll never be alright]
All the confusion
[So I'm breaking the habit]
All the anger
[I'm breaking the habit]
No love
[Tonight]
Not anymore
~*~
[I'll paint it on the walls]
I'm free!
['Cause I'm the one at fault]
If only for a minute, I am free
[I'll never fight again]
I won't let him beat me anymore
[And this is how it ends]
This is the last time
~*~
[I don't know what's worth fighting for]
I understand now
[Or why I have to scream]
There's only one way left
[But now I have some clarity]
The prophecy was right
[To show you what I mean]
I can't live if he lives on
[I don't know how I got this way]
The final battle is here
[I'll never be alright]
No!! You can't live without me, boy!
[So I'm breaking the habit]
And you cannot live without me
[Breaking the habit]
Avada Kedavra
[Breaking the habit]
"No! Harry! Professor! Professor, help! Harry, come back, please!"
[Tonight]
You will never live again
