[fst] Kingdom Hearts - Are You Nobody, Too? [WIP]

Medium: Video Game/Manga/Novel
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Subject: Mostly Axel, with Roxas and Xion, some Naminé and subtle nuance of Saïx
Title: Are You Nobody, Too?


01. Fall Out Boy - 27
if home is where the heart is
then we're all just fucked
i can't remember
i can't remember
and i want it so bad
i'd shoot the sunshine into my veins
i can't remember
the good old days...

doing lines of dust and sweat
off last night's stage
just to feel like you


Axel: That's one of the things that makes the Organization members special.
Unlike lesser Nobodies, we remember who we were.
Roxas: I don't.
Xion: Me neither.
Axel: Well...maybe that right there is what makes you unique.
Roxas: What kind of person were you like before you were a Nobody?
Axel: Me? Oh, I dunno. Same guy, more or less.
Roxas: Lucky. I wish I could remember.
Axel: Trust me, you're not missing much. Who needs baggage, right?



02. A Fine Frenzy - Whisper
eager to please
trying to be what they need
but i'm so very tired
i've stopped trying to find
any peace of mind
beccause it tangles the wires

i'm down to a whisper
in a daydream on a hill
shut down to a whisper
can you hear me?
can you hear me still?


Naminé: If I didn't obey, he said I'd be locked in this castle forever. I've been alone for so long...
Goofy: So ya did what he told ya to do because you were lonely?
Naminé: I'm so sorry...



03. SR-71 - Lucky
i lit a fire on my neighbors' lawn
i didn't know them, to me they were my pawns

i know it's not considered right
the way i live my days and nights
i always thought i'd rather be
considered lucky than good

i know it's not considered right
and every day's another fight
i always thought i'd rather be
considered lucky than good...


Vexen: Axel, why...?
Axel: I came to stop you from talking too much...by eliminating your existence.
Vexen: No... Don't do it!
Axel: We are just Nobodies who have no one to be, yet we still "are." But
now you can be nothing instead of just being a Nobody. You're off the hook.
Vexen: No... Please don't! I don't want to--
Axel: Goodbye.



04. The Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism
and you can tell from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon
and the pills that i ate
came a couple years too late

and i've got some issues to work through
there i go again
pretending to be you
make-believing
that i have a soul beneath the surface
trying to convince you
it was accidentally on purpose

behold the world's worst accident!
i am the girl anachronism!


Xion: ...Special just means different. Because I'm a mistake.



05. Motion City Soundtrack - Where I Belong
what's going on
is this where i belong tonight?

i can't stand the thought of losing
sentences and every island of words
i can't stand the thought of losing
everything i ever thought that i knew.


Axel: You've got memories from here in the Organization, right?
Roxas: Yeah... I do, don't I? I couldn't bear to lose my
memories of you or Xion.
Axel: Well, see? There ya go. Everybody's got something they want
to hang on to.
Roxas: It's scary to think I could lose you guys.



06. Matchbox Twenty - Could I Be You?
you show your pain like it really hurts
and i can't even start to feel mine

and you're laughing out loud
at just the thought of being alive
and i was wondering,
could i just be you tonight?


Axel: 'I don't think I'll ever get tired of hanging out with these two.
When we're together... it's almost like I still know how to smile like I've got a heart.'



07. Rob Thomas - Little Wonders
our lives are made in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists and turns of fate
time falls away, but these small hours
these small hours still remain

all of my regret will wash away somehow
but i cannot forget the way i feel right now...


Roxas: I hope we always have each other.
Xion: Yeah...
Axel: What's gotten into you?
Roxas: I just...want these days to last forever. Hanging out, the ice cream, the sunsets...
Axel: Nothing lasts forever, man. Least of all for a bunch of Nobodies. But you
know, we'll still have each other... even if things change and we can't do this anymore.
Roxas: Yeah?
Axel: As long as we remember each other, we'll never be apart. Got it memorized?
Roxas: Ha ha, wow, Axel. That sounded ridiculous.
Axel: What? I thought it was pretty deep.



08. Motion City Soundtrack - When You're Around
and all i can do
is close my eyes
and cross my heart
and hope to die
'cuz you don't fucking listen
when i'm around

the least you could do
is take it back
all the vicious remarks
and verbal attacks
'cuz i can't fucking stand it
when you're around...


Saïx: All I did was find a place to send everyone who was getting in the way.
Axel: Well, it's nice to know where I stand! Sheesh...
Saïx: Did you come back in one piece or didn't you?
Axel: I disposed of Zexion. That's how you wanted it, right?
I'll play it your way...for now.



09. Evanescence - Away From Me
i hold my breath
as this life starts to take its toll
i hide behind a smile
as this perfect plan unfolds
but oh, God, i feel i've been lied to
lost all faith in the things i have achieved

and i have woken now
to find myself in the shadows of all i have created
i'm longing to be lost in you
(take me away from this place i've made)
won't you take me away from me?


Axel: Well, what do you want to do, Xion?
Xion: I want...I want to be with you two.
Roxas: Then come back with us.
Xion: I can't... Not the way I am now. But...what would it take for me to be like you?



10. Train - Words
i'd give anything
but i won't give up on you
i'd say anything
but not goodbye

i will run with your changes
and i'm always on your side
and there's not a word
that i've ever heard
that could make me change my mind

words
they'll try to shake you
don't let them break you
or stop your world from turning
when words keep you from feeling good
use them as firewood
and let 'em burn!


Roxas: I don't care what he said to you. I'll be there.



11. Aqualung - Easier to Lie
to bear the weight
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie
easier to lie

and to do what's right
when everything is wrong
it's easier to run
easier to run

never have
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
easier to lie...


Roxas: Best friends are honest with each other! Who am I, Axel?


12. The Rasmus - In The Shadows
no sleep
no sleep until i'm done with finding the answer
won't stop
won't stop before i find a cure for this cancer
sometimes
i feel like going down, i'm so disconnected
somehow
i know that i am haunted to be wanted

i've been watching
i've been waiting
in the shadows for my time
i've been searching
i've been living
for tomorrows all my life


Axel: You really think the truth is going to make you feel better? It won't.
Roxas: What makes you so sure? I have a right to know who I am! How did I get here?
Why am I special? Where did I learn to use the Keyblade? I deserve those answers!



13. Vertical Horizon - Echo
everywhere i go
there's something that i really need
everyone i know
is someone that i want to be
even though
i don't really know me

can you hear me?
come in clearly
am i hollow?
just an echo?


Roxas: 'Xemnas said...Sora was what connects her and me.
But who's Sora? And who am I to him?'



14. Alyson Stoner - Lost and Found
i must confess
i was a mess
i tried not to show it
didn't want them to know it
'cuz everyone has
their own cross to bear
and mine is still waiting
for everything to
fall back into place

you might say i feel lost and found
you might say i'm all turned around
this is the first time that i know who i am
'cuz now my feet are on solid ground
before, i didn't know up from down
thanks to love, i know where i'm going now...


Xion: 'I love Roxas and Axel. I'm sure Saïx would scoff at that.
Call it a trick of my artificial memories. But the time I spent on that clock
tower was real. I wish the three of us could stay together, just like this, forever.'



15. Nine Days - Sometimes
i let you down
you've lost your taste
i'm losing ground
i fall from grace
well, just listen
sometimes...

you've gotta set free what you love
just to bring it back
would you ever lose me?
would you ever let go for that?


Xion: Please...let me go. I have to do this, or else-- Look.
Axel: What the...
Xion: Please, Axel. You have to take care of Roxas.
Axel: But how are you...gonna...
Xion: Please!



16. Vertical Horizon - Finding Me
i've already given
up on getting through
i never question
who i'm talking to

oh so much for nothing
but nothing means so much
i know it's touching
but i've been out of touch

don't tell me
how to be
'cuz i like some suffering
don't ask me
what i need
i'm just fine here finding me...


Axel: Your mind's made up?
Roxas: Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know.



17. The Barenaked Ladies - Take it Back
just a stone's throw
from the center of our attention
we all fade to black

it's hard to keep your mouth shut
harder still to make noise
but we can't have
the perfect 20/20 hindsight
that our fate enjoys

so save me
from a villainous imagination
deliver me
from my friends
and if i said something to make you mad
i will take it back...


Roxas: No one would miss me.
Axel: That's not true! ... I would.



18. Goo Goo Dolls - Feel the Silence
you lie awake at night
with blue eyes that never cry
all you remember now is what you feel

and you remain a promise unfulfilled

and if we feel the silence
holding this all inside
everything means more now
than words can explain
and if we feel the silence
leaving this all behind us
when it's gone, what will you say?

how do we hold on?


Naminé: I can't save you, Xion--even a memory of you.
Xion: I know. I'm ready. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. Roxas belongs with Sora, too.
But...I don't think he would understand. Not yet.



19. Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You
remember the good times that we had?
we let them slip away from us when things got bad

it's funny how we feel so much, but cannot say a word
oh, we are screaming inside but can't be heard...

i'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
once there was a darkness, a deep and endless night
you gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

and i will remember you
will you remember me?
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories...


Xion: It's too late...for me to undo my mistakes. But you can't let Xemnas...
have Kingdom Hearts. You can't. Good-bye, Roxas. See you again. I'm glad... I got to
meet you. Oh...and of course, Axel, too. You're both my best friends. Never forget. That's the truth.



20. Natalie Imbruglia - Starting Today
starting today
i'm not gonna worry about tomorrow
i'll wash away
all this fear that's left me feeling hollow
'cuz you make me wanna try
and you caught me just in time

every day
you give me reason not to walk away
i've stopped believing i should run like crazy
'cuz if i did you'd chase me anyway...


Naminé: What is it you plan to do?
Axel: Follow orders.
Naminé: ... Oh.
Axel: And you?
Naminé: Me?
Axel: You're the only one who can save him now, you know?
Naminé: Huh?
Axel: Got it memorized?



21. Aneiki - Pleased To Meet You
if you don't look at me
do i disappear?
and all you say these days
are things i don't wanna hear

i don't think that you remember
it was always you and me against the world

shall i introduce myself?
i'm pleased to meet you!
you don't seem to recognize me
but you know, you look
just like someone that i used to know
i'm pleased to meet you
you know, i think you used to love me
but now it seems
that that was a whole lifetime ago...


Axel: You really don't remember? It's me. You know, Axel.



22. Lisa Miskovsky - Acceptable Losses
and i'll tear it apart
and i'll burn it all down 'cuz i have to
God gave me permission
to do what it takes to find you
all the friends i betrayed
all the enemies made in the process
we all are the same
we're just carrying different crosses
i'm feeling no pain, baby--it's acceptable losses...

'cuz you ripped me apart
and i ran for my life 'cuz i had to
my heart won't stop bleeding
and i'm not even sure if i want it to
all the friends i betrayed
all the enemies made in the process
they're all going down
in the counts of acceptable losses...


Axel: Look at what it's come to. I've been given these icky orders to destroy
you--if you refuse to come back with me.




23. Johnny Rzeznik - I'm Still Here
and how can you learn what's never shown?
yeah, you stand here on your own
they don't know me 'cause i'm not here

and i want a moment to be real
wanna touch things i don't feel
wanna hold on and feel i belong
and how can the world want me to change?
they're the ones that stay the same
they donit know me
'cuz i'm not here



Roxas: ... Guys?



24. The Barenaked Ladies - Too Little Too Late
you say, 'why does everything revolve around you?'
and you say, 'why does everything i do confound you?'
you say that i pulled the rug from under you
you can't get through it this time

and i could be good, and i would
if i knew i was understood
and it'll be great! just wait!
or is it too little too late?


Axel: The Roxas that I know is long gone. Fine, I see how it is...



25. Ellegarden - No. 13
i gave up trying to stop you
instead i keep watching over your things
you'll always have a home here
you won't fail me though you come back
with empty hands

i'm waiting here
you might not be back
i don't think i'm irrational
i'm waiting here
you might not be back
i'm still at number 13...


Axel: Let's meet again in the next life.
Roxas: Yeah. I'll be waiting.
Axel: Silly. Just because you have a next life...



26. Lifehouse - Broken
and i am here still waiting
though i still have my doubts
i am damaged at best
like you've already figured out

i'm falling apart
i'm barely breathing
with a broken heart
that's still beating...


Roxas: No! My heart belongs to me!



27. Vertical Horizon - Back To You
i've had enough of the blood and the blame
down in the dust and the rust and the shame

all of your kindness
all of your blindness
i hope you realize this
i'm giving it back to you
all of your hatred
that you hold so sacred
i am elated to give it back to you...


Saïx: Nobodies cannot feel things like friendship! What you seek is
an illusion! A hallucination caused by the memories of those you surround yourself with!



28. One Republic - Secrets
got no reason, got no shame
got no family i can blame
just don't let me disappear
i'm'a tell you everything...

so tell me what you want to hear
something that'll light those ears
i'm sick of all the insincere
i'm gonna give all my secrets away
this time
don't need another perfect lie
don't care if critics ever jump in line
i'm gonna give all my secrets away...


Axel: I wanted to see Roxas. He...was the only one I liked... He
made me feel...like I had a heart. It's kind of...funny... You make me
feel...the same...



29. Rob Thomas - Someday
you can go
you can start all over again
you can try to find a way
to make another day go by

you can hide
hold all your feelings inside
you can try to carry on
when all you want to do is cry

and maybe someday we'll figure all this out
try to put an end to all our doubt
try to find a way to make things better now
and maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
we'll be better off somehow
someday


Roxas: See you, Axel.
Axel: See ya, partner.


30. Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive
if i ever leave this world alive
i'll take on all the sadness
that i left behind
if i ever leave this world alive
the madness that you feel
will soon subside

so in a word don't shed a tear
i'll be here when it all gets weird
if i ever leave this world alive...
