I walk a lonely road,
The only one I've ever know,
I don't know where it leads,
But, I'm the only one
I walk alone.
"My shadow is the only beside me. My shadow walks alone," Zasu looks up from her bed in the dim light. The sound of a bottle crashing, a yell, fist meeting flesh
I walk a lonely street,
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams,
I don't know where it leads,
I;m the only one and I walk alone.
Alone.
Her mother yells. Her dad screams. Zasu inches tward the front door. She runs out into the rain, out of the house.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me,
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating,
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me,
'til then I walk alone.
'Where am I? A music store.' Zasu read the plauque under the name of a band called Alchemy. The lead singer was from a bad family enviroment. She had run away to escape the pain of having no support. 'I can relate' Zasu ran her hands over the discets in their cases. Her hands hit head phones, putting them on numly she listened to Alchemy's first hit single.
Hukigen no sumichigio sumishi-te,
baka itehigosuyetugo iyito,
Ituogo shite higutoshiko hisou,
Ni-toooooo!
'What did it mean? Does it matter?' This is what it ment to be saved. 'Am I free?'
