Kawada Shogo

Rescued – Jack's Mannequin.

She's dying, because of me. Keiko! Please live! I don't care if I lose, I don't care if I die anymore. You have to live. I don't want to win.

Two to one
Static to the sound of you and I
Undone for the last time
And there this was
Hiding at the bottom of your
Swimming pool some September
And don't you think
I wish I could stay

She stirs in my arms. She's not dead! Please hold on Keiko! Hold on for me!
Why's she smiling? "Thank you…" she whispers, and then the collars stop beeping.
No, it can't be.
Your lips give you away

I can hear it, the jet engine
Through the centre of the storm
And I'm thinking I'd
Prefer not to be rescued
I can hear the military coming for me, the winner. But I don't want to win! Not anymore. She's still alive! I can't be the winner. The collar has it wrong, she's alive!

Two to none
Roads that lead away from this
I'm following myself just this once
And I've got spun
It appears you're spun as well
It happens when you pay attention
This could take all year, but

When it's quiet, does she hear me?
Jettisoned to the centre of the storm
"Keiko! No!" I'm yelling at her. "No! Don't die!" and then I dare to say it.
"Keiko I love you! You can't die! You can't die because I love you!" but she probably can't hear me.
And I'm thinking I
Prefer not to be rescued
I can't be the winner. I don't want it anymore.
Oh, I can feel her, she's dying
Just to keep me cool
My heart goes cold. She really is dead.
I'm finally numb, so please
Don't get me rescued... rescued...
Her body is limp, her cheeks are getting cold. She died so that I could live, so that I could be rescued and live a normal life. But she died not realising that if she's dead then I can't live a normal life.
I don't want to be rescued.
Don't get me rescued.

And it's unclear
But this may be my last song
Oh, I, I can tell
She's raising hell to give to me
She got me warm
So please don't get me rescued
She has already sacrificed herself for me, so now she can be brought back, now she can live.
Bring her back to me.
I didn't kill all of my other class mates just so that she could die like this.
Oh, say you'll miss me one last time
I'll be strong, but whatever you do
Please don't get me rescued...
I lean over and kiss her on the lips. Give me strength Keiko, the last thing you said was "Thank you." Why? What reason do you have for thanking me? I killed you.
Say you love me Keiko! Come back and say that you love me! Then I'll be strong for you.

'Cause I'm feeling like
I might need to be near you
And I feel alright, so please
Don't get me rescued...
The military have arrived, but I don't want to let go of you, I want to stay here with you in my arms.
"Get away from me!" they take me anyway, but they don't understand; I don't want to be the winner. I don't want to survive.
I don't want to be rescued.

"Keiko, please don't get me rescued."
But they rescue me anyway.
