the grass is green and soft, the wind is gentle and cool. i look upon the sky and watch as the fire rains down unto the world. the breeze pushes my hair and i put my hands in my pockets. i smile. after all this time i finally get to see it.
"So let's imagine, for a second... That had that one event, that one five minute event never happened... You wouldn't be alive?"
no, i wouldn't be. all i am and have been, all that weight carried by one memory. is that really hard to imagine...? it's all i've known.
...Because we're trapped in a waiting room, forced to see what we could've created. Are you scared? Is that my fault...? Your heartbeat is missing, but I know where it is. Is that my fault...?
and when I let go of this creation... will I just want another? am I going to just keep doing this forever? doing all of this to appease all the faceless strangers? who knows! who knows...?
my beautiful, beautiful creation... so delicate, yet so crude. do I regret this? I don't think so... I never will, no matter what happens. no one knows, except those hundreds and hundreds of faceless strangers...
have I fallen back into that trap? dedicating the time and the money and the energy just to see little holograms dance around the creation? they praise it, they criticize it, they hate it. but I love them all the same! please, keep singing! please...!
my head, my hands, my hands... MY HANDS! they're trembling, can you feel that...? i think i might disintegrate right here and now! yes. do you think they'll ever know? i don't think so. my hands! they're still shaking... still shaking...! they'll never really know.
my head, my hands, my hands... MY HANDS! they're trembling, can you feel that...? i think i might disintegrate right here and now! yes. do you think they'll ever know? i don't think so. my hands! they're still shaking... still shaking...! they'll never really know.
...and now, look what you've done. The blood! It's on my hands, it's all over my suit, it's everywhere...! I don't even know whose it is. Is this yours? Is this mine? I think you know the answer. I can't explain it, but my heart is still beating with electricity...!
let yourself slump if your own blood! See if I care. Because we both know, we both know very well that your heart isn't going to give out from defeat... Never! It was destined to erupt into glorious flames for the entire world to see, going out doing what it loves!!
"Not even in my own dream scenarios can I escape my tendency to... well, no offense, be a ghost."
haha. none taken.
"Every time, they're unaware. I always say goodbye to these girls in my head, and they don't know what's going on."
oh? they don't notice reality falling apart?
"...Goodbye, Elizabeth."
"Her name isn't actually Elizabeth. I never learned her name. She just said, you know... 'I'm so glad I met you.' She said that to me! She said that to me, and I never even asked her for her name."
oh, man. you're never going to let this down, are you?
