Last night I was sort of half-assed watching Constantine, I own the movie but there was nothing else on so I just set it in the background while I was writing. When Passive by A Perfect Circle came on it struck me (like a shit-ton of bricks) that the song is fucking beyond perfect for Daniel. (Probably because I was writing Daniel at the time)

I can so see this opening up with slow flashes going back and forth with scenes from Meridian and Threads.

"Dead as dead can be", my doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him, ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me,
don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say,
"You disappoint me",
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up (we'll catch you) and face me (come one now),
Don't play dead (don't play dead) 'cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I will (someday I'll) walk away and say,
"You disappoint me"
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
You're better of this... you're better of this...
Maybe you're better off!

Wake up (why can't you?) and face me (come on now),
Don't play dead (don't play dead) 'cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I will (someday I'll) walk away and say,
"You fucking disappoint me!"
Maybe you're better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn against me?
Why can't you turn against me?
Why can't you turn against me?
You fucking disappoint me!

Passive aggressive bullshit

Yeah... So I really really need someone to take this idea from me before I end up adding it to my Vid-in-Progress list because it's way too fucking long as it is and dammit I hate that I can so easily see how this entire idea can play out and I don't want to see that. So please someone take it!
