The Defense

An Evangelion Shortfic(?)

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today

So, you say you know pain? You know fear? You don't know shit.

Mass paranoia is a mode, not a malady

Fear, pain, I know them, I live them, I am them.

Yeah I'd like to watch a thousand cable channels, but there's nothing on

Every day of my life, I have been nothing but a nervous wreck.

And my high-speed connection's monitored daily by the Pentagon

But everyone expects so much from me, because of what I am.

The things are seldom what they seem

I pilot Eva. So what?! I don't even want to. I can feel all the blood on my hands...

I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams, won't go away!

From when I wake up, until I sleep, in my dreams, and when I awake again.

No peace! and no friends! We trace the mortal coil with no defense

No one ever lets me be myself, I'm always Pilot Ikari before I'm just Shinji.

To state the obvious, this world is perilous for us!

I know the Angels are still coming, but is that too much to ask?!

No sense! and no God! ain't it beautiful to be alive?

To just be me in this world of filth, rage and sadness?

Yeah right! I won't resign before the struggle ends

Well I'm gonna give it my best fucking shot. I have to.

So I'll construct this sound defense.

AN: In a fit of boredom, I wrote this. Yeah, it's a ridiculously short songfic thing, but if I feel like it, I'll make an entire series from this. There is only a simple concept to work from, so it shouldn't be hard. I just wanted to do something, and for the few minutes writing this killed, I am contented.
