How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home


Feliciano was tossing and turning in his bed. He was having nightmares of his past, about his painful childhood. First, about his grandfather dying, the second one was when he was separated from his brother and the final one being when Gilbert left him. It seemed like people were always leaving him behind, without a second thought. He didn't know why these thoughts still haunted him, he thought he was used to it by now.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become


Feliciano's eyes opened as he sat up slowly. He was in a daze as he got out of bed and stumbled to the already opened window. He stared out into the city before grabbing the window sill and climbing up. He stared down at the ground that was far below him and stepped down on the ledge. He wobbled a little but quickly regained his balance. He held onto the side of the building for support.

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life


Confident that he could keep his balance, he began to walk around the building. Before he knew it, all his emotions crashed down on him as tears began to slid down his cheeks. He walked past a few opened windows, but nobody paid any mind to him.

He looked down at the ground before he came to a part of the wall that stuck out. It had a few holes in it, something that could be used for climbing. And without a second thought about how high up he was, he began to climb up. He knew where his destination was.

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
Bring me to life


He soon got to his destination and he hoisted himself up onto the ledge. He stared in through the window, with tears still streaming down his face. Gilbert had yet to notice him as he sat on the couch strumming his guitar. Italy pressed his hand against the window and gave it a slight tap, catching Gilbert's attention. He stood up quickly and walked toward the window.

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead


Feliciano stared in through the window as Gilbert stared at him in surprise. He pressed his hand on the glass where Feliciano's was. They stared at each other before Gilbert made a move to open the window. Feliciano accidently leaned back to far and fell. He screamed and hurriedly grabbed the ledge. Gilbert hurriedly stepped on the ledge and grabbed Feliciano's hands.

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything


Feliciano held onto Gilbert's hands tightly.

"Feli! What the hell were you doing?" he asked harshly as he tried to pull him back up. Feliciano was trying to get back up as well, but he wasn't succeeding either.

"I had to see you! I couldn't let things end that way!" Feliciano cried. Gilbert grabbed the window sill as Feliciano braced his feet against the building and tried to push himself up. He could feel his hands slipping from Gilbert's.

Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life


"Don't let me die here!" Feliciano cried out, trying to grip harder, but it was no use. His grip was still slipping. Gilbert tried desperately to lift him back up, desperation clear on his face. Feliciano could see the tears well up in his eyes. He knew it was the end here as well.

"Ti amo Gilbert. Sempre," Feliciano said as his hand slipped from Gilbert's. Gilbert watched him fall and Felciano saw him mouth one final thing to him.

"Immer Feliciano."

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
Bring me to life


Feliciano sat up quickly, sweat drenching his skin. He looked around his bedroom and began to cry loudly. He covered his face with his hands and didn't try to stop the tears.

"Oh god... I'm so sorry Gilbert... It's all my fault! I'm so sorry," Feliciano sobbed loudly. Even though it was pointless, he wished desperately for his lost loved one to come back.
