[Part I]
I've never felt like this before
Am I awake, am I drifting?
There's a hole in the sky
Am I alive? Did I survive?
Broken pictures on my wall
A story of fallen heroes
Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on
Lost horizon
Am I awake, am I drifting?

Am I alive? Did I survive?
Broken pictures on my wall
A story of fallen heroes
Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on
Lost horizon

The next, a force jerked his head back, and he was falling. Skull met hard concrete steps, sharp edges and rough surfaces greeting fragile bone with a dull, sickening crack. Flat against the stairs, staring up at the floor, he could almost marvel that it was even possible to fall in a place like this.
A triangle of railings swam into his slowly dimming vision; above them was an archway, bright sunlight pouring in and revealing a lush green, an illusion of freedom. Even the tiles on the walls seemed to warp and twist, square checkerboard turning into birds and fishes that could fly away, away from the mansion, away from the arena, away from the violence and senselessness of it all.
A single crayon, rich and purple, floated down from the archway on a bed of shimmering silver, the light casting mesmerizing patterns on the parachute's cloth. It seemed to take all of his will just to move his hand the couple inches it took to catch the crayon in his palm and bring it forward.
A token gesture, perhaps. But who would sponsor a dying tribute? Frivolous items were for Careers, he had learned, ever since watching the Twos and Fours get toys and plushies and piles of real, useless, cash while they'd tried to scrape together enough money for Lily to get a simple bottle of water.
He could hear her voice now, shouting something as she drew closer to him. They guarded him side by side in the stairwell, strong where he was weak, standing where he had fallen.
"Find Eva," he said, perhaps, "protect her for me," or perhaps words were too bulky and unwieldy and Paige could pluck those thoughts from his mind and tuck them safely into her pockets. Bright blonde hair stood out in a world swimming with grayscale, the colors of sound blending together to form a soft blanket of white noise.
Lily's hand reached for his, nudging the crayon he still held in a loosening grip. She opens her mouth, her eyes still brimming with childishness and adventure and endless imagination -
"Draw me something,"

"Draw me something,"
Sometimes the traces of life with you
Are clearer in my mind than ever
I'm reaching this feeling
It's misleading me away from you
Tonight I'll find what I've been searching for
You can rip off my wings once more
I'm not afraid anymore
I am ready to fall
I'm not afraid anymore
Are clearer in my mind than ever
I'm reaching this feeling
It's misleading me away from you
Tonight I'll find what I've been searching for
You can rip off my wings once more
I'm not afraid anymore
I am ready to fall
I'm not afraid anymore
