Has anyone else listened to the AVPSY soundtrack? I'm loving it so far! Whoops! Off track! Anyways, this is using the song "Bring Me to Life". Mainly from Sweet Tooth's point of view. Once again, he is underlined, Candy is normal, and the lyrics are italicized. Sorry in advance if any words are spelled wrong, my computer is old so my keyboard is dieing. Hope it's good!
Ever since that night, I've seen everything differently. Everything seems lighter, almost like the sun came out from behind some clouds. She's barely left me alone, I can see in her eyes that she's afraid I'll hurt myself. I don't blame her, I probably look pretty crazy most of the time. She only leaves me when she goes to work, or to go shopping. I guess that she and her boyfriend broke up because of me. I know I should feel bad, but I don't. When she looks at me it's like I'm glass, and strangely enough that makes me feel good. For once I feel understood.
How can you see into my eyes, like open doors
She seems to be able to see who I really am now. Well, now that I've dyed my hair back and stopped wearing my obnoxious makeup, I guess it's easier to see the real me.
Leading you down into my core
Even though the world seems a bit brighter, it still doesn't mean I feel better. Half the time, I can barely feel anything. Even when she's next to me, I can't feel for anyone or anything, just like when I killed. Nothing ever hit me until later.
Where I've become so numb,
Sometimes, I wonder why I became so numb, so emotionless. Maybe somewhere along the way, I lost my soul, or maybe my humanity. Whatever you want to call it, it's gone now.
Without a soul
I feel like a shell of the man I used to be. Candy, I mean Candice, keeps talking about finding me a therapist, I always tell her that it's a waste of money. It didn't work any of the times I was locked up in Arkham, so why should it work now? Maybe I should give it a try, it would make Cand- Candice happy, and maybe they could wake me up a little.
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Candice can help me. I just know it. If anyone can find wherever my real self is hiding, it's her. I try to ask her to help me, more like beg, but I don't think she understands. I need help to find my soul.
Until you find it there and lead it back home
It's gotten to the point know where I sleep for hours at a time. Everyday it gets harder to get up and do something with my life. I need her to help me.
Wake me up,
I gave in. My new therapist is an idiot, that and she scares the crap out of me. I would rather spend time with my old serial killer "friends" than spend time with this woman. She stares at me when she talks and scribbles furiously on her notepad when I talk. It's the weirdest feeling, like your being dissected. Even the shrinks at Arkham couldn't do that. She keeps saying that she can only help me if I open up. I guess she doesn't realize how dead I am inside.
Wake me up inside
I'm trapped in a dream. It's obvious from the fact that Candice has become Candy again, and I'm dressed like Sweet Tooth, only I'm not me. It's almost as if I'm watching from outside my body, unable to control myself. We're hurting people and I can't stop it.
I can't wake up,
I can't snap out of it. I keep begging myself to stop. Wow, that even sounds crazy in my head. I need to wake up before I drive myself deeper into this hole. Jesus! Somebody help me!
Wake me up inside,
I told Candice all about my dream, and she told my therapist. My therapist says I have depression and possible schizophrenia. I have no idea what that means, I don't put much stock in psychology. I'm still not feeling any different. Why am I still doing this?
Save me,
I now know what I did to her all those months. I understand the blackness threatening to overtake everything I've ever known. I understand why she would beg me to leave, or to show myself. You need closure, but that never happens.
Call my name and save me from the dark,
Today she started asking different questions. Ones about my past. I froze up so fast I thought I turned to stone. It was my worst nightmare.
Wake me up
She asked me if I'd been abused and my heart skipped a beat, my blood ran cold. I'm sure I looked like I was going to be sick because she asked me if I was okay. I took that moment to, not so gracefully, run out of the room. I hid in the bathroom, the only place you can get some privacy in this building.
Bid my blood to run,
When I was in the bathroom, I'm pretty sure I was hyperventilating. It wasn't fun. The edges of my vision were turning black. I felt like I was dieing.
I can't wake up
Apparently, someone came to my rescue. I'm not really sure, but I don't remember leaving the bathroom. It's strange to have a huge lapse of memory when I'm conscious, almost horror movieish.
Before I come undone,
She says I need more help, I guess she's afraid I'll go completely insane soon.
Save me
I can still hear that little voice in the back of my mind. It tells me that I'm useless, just like always, but this time I'm starting to believe him. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.
Save me from the nothing I've become
He's become a zombie. At least before he had emotions, now he's just a shell. I almost miss the old him, at least he would speak to me. What makes it even worse is remembering him before all of this. He was so kind, loving, and sometimes helpless, that was what made me love him. I already lost him once, I don't think I can go through that again.
Now that I know what I'm without
If he leaves again, it will be worse than before. This is going to sound crazy, but at least I saw him. At least he haunted me. This time, I would know he was never coming back.
You can't just leave me
Candice looks at me differently now, in an almost pitying way. Again I try to ask her for help, but when I open my mouth, no sound comes out. She stops what she's doing when she sees me sitting there with my mouth hanging open. I try again. This time I manage to get out a strangled "Help..."
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life
This time she listens, says she'll always be there to help me. She promises and kisses me, it's the first time I've felt that I have something to live for in a long time.
Wake me up,
He asked for help. He begged like he thought I would leave him alone, alone and lost. It broke my heart to hear him speak like that. It was the first time he's talked in weeks, and he sounded like a lost child. It gave me a glimpse into his mind, what he's going through right now.
Wake me up inside.
They decided to put me on some weird drugs with names I can't pronounce and lists of side effects so long it would take years to read through. They make me feel kind of funny.
I can't wake up,
They also decided to put me back in Arkham. It's strange to be in a ward that's away from all the villains. I'm so used to them by now. The rooms are even different colors then in that ward, there is way less security here, our doors are allowed to be opened and they only check on you every 15 minutes instead of every 5. It's almost like a really weird dream.
Wake me up inside,
The shrinks, as they're known here, keep telling me that I can be cured. It's weird to sit there listening to them repeat that, it's not like I ever said that I couldn't get better. Where did they get the idea that I didn't?
Save me,
Candice has been visiting me every other day. It's nice to see her still, she's really whats helping me get through this.
Call my name and save me from the dark,
The only thing I don't like is how they keep upping my dosage. It makes me feel weird, like everything's fuzzy and tilted a little to the left.
Wake me up.
Some days I just feel sluggish, slow and tired. I sleep a lot, which is weird, I usually sleep 8-9 hours a day, but now its more like 11-12 hours a day. I'm not sure I like it.
Bid my blood to run,
According to the "doctors" (they heard me call them shrinks. They didn't like it very much and yelled at me) say that I can go home soon. But only if I stay on my medication and behave. Ha, I'm so drugged out I don't think I could do anything but behave.
I can't wake up
It's so strange to walk through a haze for weeks on end. Candice came to see me again, she was really happy about the chance that I could come home soon. So was I, until they told me that they were going to up my meds again and again for as long as they deemed necessary.
Before I come undone,
I'm not excited to see how more medication will make me feel. It's trippy now, what is it going to be like with more?
Save me
I'm finally back home! It's nice to be back with Candice, shes a much better cook than the ones at Arkham. But that's not the only reason I love her, she sees the good in me when no one else can.
Save me from the nothing I've become
I still don't feel like myself, but at least I can feel again. But still, life feels like a dream. All I do is go through the motions; go to work, come home, eat dinner with Candice, read or play a board game or something, go to bed, wake up and start all over again. It's so dull.
Bring me to life,
My job is way to easy, all I do is paperwork. All day. It makes me want to pull my hair out. But I'm good at it, which is sad because a monkey could do it. I'm just lieing to myself about liking this job, I need to stop doing that.
I've been living a lie
The drugs have been upped again. They make me feel empty, like there's no pain or discomfort. As strange as it sounds, I miss feeling the pain. At least with pain I knew I was alive, now it's just numbness.
There's nothing inside,
They refuse to lower my meds, they say it will "Tamper with my recovery". I even tried to explain how they made me feel. Apparently that's exactly what they are supposed to do right now. They say it will wear off eventually. They don't understand how dead I feel.
Bring me to life
Candice has been gone on a business trip and everything has gotten worse. She kept me together, I only felt when I was around her. Now I feel nothing.
Frozen inside without your touch
You kept me sane, but you left. You always promised you wouldn't leave me. I know that you meant leave forever, but I still feel betrayed.
Without your love, darling
And on top of all that they started making me go to "group therapy". Now I spend a good portion of the day surrounded by drugged out zombies. I feel like you would have been able to keep me from wanting to kill them all. You would have made me put myself in their shoes.
Only you are the life among the dead
She's finally back! When she came back, it dawned on me. I remembered back to when we were Sweet Tooth and Candy. She was the one to make me behave, to keep me in line.
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
I can't believe that it took me this long to realize that. It's so obvious now that I think about it. Maybe that's why the henchmen always laughed at me for keeping her.
Kept in the dark,
I can't feel anything. You're talking but I can't hear it, if I do, I don't comprehend the words. You're right there, but everything your say and do is so distorted.
But you were there in front of me
The drugs make me sleepy. I'm only up a few hours a day now. I can barely keep my eyes open right now.
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
You shake me awake. Apparently I was asleep. My eyes drift closed again and I'm rewarded with a slap to the face. It wakes me up, in more ways than one.
I've got to open my eyes to everything
My brain isn't my own anymore.
Without a thought,
Anytime I try to speak, a jumbled mass of words comes out. I'm completely incoherent.
Without a voice,
I'm a walking disaster. I now can't feel anything even when she's near me.
Without a soul
These drugs are literally eating my brain. I'm rotting from the inside out.
Don't let me die here
Candice doesn't seem happy around me anymore. Well she never seems happy period. She's been on the phone a lot, yelling at someone.
There must be something wrong,
Remember those people Candice were yelling at? Those were my doctors. She thinks the medicine is killing me. I have to agree with her on that.
Bring me to life
They still refuse to take me off them. They say that it's a side effect and it'll wear off eventually.
Wake me up,
I guess there's nothing we can do about it. Candice has been overly nice to me lately, I wonder if she thinks that that will help. It doesn't really, but it's nice that she's trying.
Wake me up inside
My dreams have become really weird, kind of like how acid trips are portrayed in the movies. I get trapped in the dreams, sometimes they become violent.
I can't wake up,
The deadness hasn't gone away, it's gotten worse. The more they up my doses, the less I'm able to do. Now even my vision is fuzzy.
Wake me up inside,
I'm beginning to think they're doing more harm than good. I feel like I'm going even crazier.
Save me,
I have to get off of these stupid meds. They've turned me into a walking vegetable, just going through the motions. There is no purpose to life when I'm like this.
Call my name and save me from the dark,
I'll just have to wean myself off of these. Less and less everyday. Then I can finally get out of this dreary haze.
Wake me up
The withdrawals are kicking in, and let me tell you, they are not fun. Candice keeps asking me if I'm okay. I just tell her that I'm sick, I'll probably be better in a couple of days. Thank god it's flu season, it's pretty bad this year so I won't be hard to believe. I almost feel like liquid fire is coursing through my veins.
Bid my blood to run,
They get worse. I never thought it would get this bad. It hurts to breathe, move, hell it even hurts to think! I feel like I'm dieing, but I can't let that happen, not when I'm so close to wining.
I can't wake up
Dear God it hurts! I'm not sure that I can take this much longer.
Before I come undone,
It's finally over. I can actually be me. When Candice comes home, she's so happy to see me up and about, she runs up and kisses me. That kiss told me everything I needed to know. It told me that she loves me, that she will never leave me no matter how lost I get. She wouldn't hesitate to help me if I needed it.
Save me
I finally understand how pathetic I was when I was so drugged out. I was just a piece of furniture.
Save me from the nothing I've become
There's something different about him nowadays. He's more awake, he go's out, he has a new steady job. Somethings up and I'm not sure if I like it or not. At least he feels alive now, am I dreaming?
Bring me to life,
Oh no. He's back. This time he doesn't tease me. He tries to push me out of my body, take over. It's like he's been here all along, just biding his time.
I've been living a lie,
It's hard to fight him, but I manage to keep that struggle hidden. I can't let Candice or anyone else know about this, they'll just try to put me back on those damn drugs! I can't be empty again.
There's nothing inside
I'm getting weaker. He's getting stronger. Help me before he takes over...
Bring me to life
Another chapter down! I'm sorry if it seemed a little fractured, I was trying to write the way a drugged out crazy person would think. It was actually a lot of fun. I do think I will continue this, I definitely got back into this story. Well if anyone has a song preference for the next chapter just PM me the song title. Hope you liked it! Until next time. :-)
