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!
