Lyrics (as edited)

i think i've reached that point
where every wish has come true
and tired disguised oblivion
is everything i do

please stop loving me
please stop loving me
i am none of these things

i think i've reached that point
where all the things you have to say
and hopes for something more from me
are just games to pass the time away

please stop loving me
please stop loving me
i am none of these things

i think i've reached that point
where every word that you write
of every blood dark sea
and every soul black night
and every dream you dream me in
and every perfect free from sin
and burning eyes
and hearts on fire
are just the same old song

please stop loving me
please stop loving me
i am none of these things
i am none of these things


Thank you so much to cathexys and danegen for beta-ing.

Amazing. I love this song. I never would have thought of it as a match for this story, but it's an excellent choice and your editing is spot on.

The image that struck me most was juxtaposing Erik's tattoo with Cerebro rattling off longitude and latitude numbers: that so effectively compresses Charles and Erik's dialogue on the steps of the Lincoln Monument. Very powerful.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad the song worked for you - I was a bit apprehensive about it. And I'm delighted you enjoyed the editing.

I'm also happy that you liked the tattoo/Cerebro moment - though my innate honesty compels me to mention that I am not the first vidder to use that image (for instance, it appears in Perfect Drug, which is awesome and I highly recommend, by the way). But I'm so pleased it worked for you in this vid - and yes, I was thinking about it in exactly the same way, that this is exactly what Erik meant during that conversation at the Lincoln Memorial. I'm so happy it came across that way to you!
