I was always just existing. I never had meaning. I never had hope. I never had love. I was an empty, icy shell to be addressed and struck. Why did suddenly you pierce my walls?

-----------------

How can you see into my eyes like open doors

Leading you down into my core

Where I've become so numb

Without a soul

My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

-----------------

How is it that someone with such a life as your could always be so cheerful? You’re always moving. You’re a thief. You steal most of your food and you haven’t had a normal life for years. I had everything. I still do. Nothing touches me. I’m ice. My Ice. But you brought a flame in. You made me feel; made me care for life. You’re amazing.

-----------------

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside

(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up) Before I come undone

(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

-----------------

It’s like someone turned back on the light and replaced my soul again. You gave me a reason to live. A light to my dark. A flame to my ice. A heat to my cold. And although our two elements don’t match, you still stay by my side.

-----------------

Now that I know what I'm without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life

-----------------

I harm everything I touch. Forever I will be in my brother’s shadow. I’ll always hurt the ones I love the most. No matter how much I try, it will all be dust in the end. And it is always you who receives the most pain because of me. Because of my weakness. Life has no meaning for me. If my light dies, what else is there? It’s my fault. I deserve this.

-----------------

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside

(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up) Before I come undone

(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

-----------------

A safe call from the shadows. I want to die. I want to live. This turmoil of emotions confuses me and I reek of distasteful chaos. Just a word could push me over the border into my sweet oblivion where I’m never harmed, never loved, never hated, never feared, never known. It surprises me that one so tormented as myself is the one to deliver your message. To speak your words to keep me on this mortal coil.

-----------------

Bring me to life

I've been living a lie

There's nothing inside

Bring me to life

-----------------

I’ll stay, just to see that smile and hear that laugh again. Torments writhe in my gut and I feel dirty. Why does it hurt so much? If they’re wrong, and you vanish from this life, I will follow. You’re my bane, my antidote, my existence. You’re my white poppy. Don’t leave me here.

-----------------

Frozen inside without your touch

Without your love, darling

Only you are the life among the dead

-----------------

I’ll kill him. I would kill him. But there are others who have suffered more. Why be so selfish as to steal away that right myself? I’ll let them have the pleasure and I’ll stay with you, defending you. I’ll fight with you to the end.

-----------------

All of this time, I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

-----------------

Somehow, I’m at peace amidst the battle. Enemies fall, allies are injured, my own brother is dealing death and so is my General. Blood spatters everywhere, yet I am at peace. I’m protecting you. I’m making sure that no one harms you, even as I take the blows myself.

-----------------

Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul

Don't let me die here

There must be something more

Bring me to life

-----------------

I’m warm. Not because I’ve been fighting, barring every monster and Death Flyer from your body. It’s because you’ve been protecting me too. To have someone care, when I care so much. To have someone return the feelings of security, that someone will always be there for me. That someone will always care, no matter what I do.

-----------------

Wake me up) Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside

(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up) Before I come undone

(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

-----------------

Let’s face it. We can’t loose and we can’t win. We’ll always be in the battle, never dieing and never killing. As long as you’re here, I will bear it until victory smiles on us or defeat rears its ugly head and snaps us into oblivion. If it does come to defeat, I’ll sell my own soul to see you with the Angel. Should it come…

-----------------

Bring me to life

I've been living a lie

There's nothing inside

Bring me to life

-----------------

There have only been two people that ever cared. You and my General. My brother, maybe. At one point far beyond my memories, maybe. My dear General. The fights ahead and the fights past don’t seem to be yours anymore. Another void, another scar, another pain. My heart aches for you and the one you never knew cared. You thought you were alone, but you never were. Your antidote, your light, your bane, and your existence. Your white poppy. Never to see you again. I have room to heal. I have time to heal. Did you allow anyone else that time?
