Welcome To the Cedar Grove

Elaine gave me this song she found that she said fit for a character I had created in order to participate in an original interactive storytelling site she has created - ex-Navy Special Ops that lost pretty much everything in an alien invasion... *shrugs* I decided that Connor would make a good avatar for this person (and would play the role admirably if it were a movie or something LOL) Anyway, she found this song, and I listened to it... and the more I thought about it - yeah it fits for Johnson, but bloody hell does it fit for both Michael and Trip also... in different ways, but yeah - ouch... anyway, I said I'd share the lyrics so... here they are... And damn the man's hide - now I want to a)Write this story too and b) Make music videos for Michael and Trip.

What's Left of Me
by Nick Lachey


Watch my life pass me by
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes
Yeah.

'Cause I want you, and I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin,
Like a hunger, like a burning
To find a place I've never been.
Now I'm broken and I'm fading
I'm half the man I thought I would be,
But you can have
What's left of me.

I've been dying inside
Little by little
Nowhere to go
But going outa my mind
In endless circles
Running from myself until
You gave me a reason for standing still,

And I want you, and I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burning
To find the place I've never been
Now I'm broken and I'm fading
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have
What's left of me

Falling faster
Barely breathing
Give me something
To believe in
Tell me it's not all in my head

Take what's left of this man
Make me whole, once again

'Cause I want you, and I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
…A hunger, like a burning
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken and I'm fading
I'm half the man I thought I would be
You can have
All that's left, yeah, yeah, yeah
What's left of me

I've been dying inside, you see?
Going outa my mind, outa my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time

Will you take what's left…?
Will you take what's left…?
Will you take what's left…
Of me?

Just running in circles in my mind

Will you take what's left…?
Will you take what's left…?
Will you take what's left…
Of me?
Take what's left of me.
