A Celebration of an Ending

Staring at Backgrounds

Failure is Relative

Shallow Pockets

The Well of Tradition

A galloping battle between self-control and obsession. You know it’s destroying you, yet you keep returning for the hit.

CHAINBREAKER VEINS

Cracked asphalt, taste the grit in my teeth 
Sun beats down on the rust underneath 
This whole world's a graveyard, a broken-down shell 
But I got my chrome horse, ride it straight through hell (Check) 
Got the leather, (Check) got the rage 
Trapped like a cog in a busted-up cage 
But the engine's screaming, a violent reply 
Only thing that's real 'neath a chemical sky.

And in my mirror, i see his eyes 
He scans the wreckage as we fly by 
"Data suggests... danger ahead." 
I just grip the bars, "We'll sleep when we're dead."

WE RIDE! Through the static and the acid rain! 
(Just a girl and a 'bot to keep me sane!) 
WE FIGHT! For the gasoline, the volts, the spark! 
(Two souls burning bright against the dark!) 
This ain't survival, this is war! 
And my best friend is Johnny Five! 

The Reavers circle, smell the fumes and the fear 
They see a woman, think she's easy, right here 
They don't see the circuits, the logic, the plan 
They don't know my partner's more than a man 
He calculates ballistics, trajectory, (Heat!) 
While I'm just looking for a reason to breathe 
He patches my wounds, I polish his lens 
We're the only family where the concrete ends.

He hands me a tool, his optic ablaze 
"Malfunction, Ma'am... or... emotional phase?" 
I just shake my head, "It's the world that's broke, J."

WE RIDE! Through the static and the acid rain! 
(Just a girl and a 'bot to keep me sane!) 
WE FIGHT! For the gasoline, the volts, the spark! 
(Two souls burning bright against the dark!) 
This ain't survival, this is war! 
And my best friend is Johnny Five! 

THIS WORLD... TOOK IT ALL! 
(Left me nothing but the fall!) 
THIS WORLD... IS A LIE! 
(Gave me no reason not to die!) ...
But you... 
You found a flower... in the nuclear ash
YOU GAVE ME A REASON! YOU GAVE ME A REASON TO BREATHE!

WE RIDE! Through the static and the acid rain! 
(Just a girl and a 'bot to keep me sane!) 
WE FIGHT! For the gasoline, the volts, the spark! 
(Two souls burning bright against the dark!) 
This ain't survival, this is war! 
And my best friend is Johnny Five!

Just me and Johnny. Just the road. 
Horizon... clear. Destination... unknown.
Good
