Others By No One
Dr. Breacher and the Time Travel Anomaly
Resting in silent patience
Knowing that I’ll be down here
In this place, it’s all, all that I know now
And I’ll see her again (Again, ‘gain)

Over the horizon, there’s a simple cloud of dust
Features break before my eyes, there she is again
Once above, now my senses thrust into obscurity
Now I awaken, this anomaly fuels my tragedy
Must I breathe life anew?
This jealousy leads me now
Lifelong quest denied

I’m still trying to understand why she has come back to me
This accursed island is haunted
With the hopes and dreams
Of a feeble man who lost his everything
Tell me why, tell me all

Let’s make an impassioned
Look at why this is a mistake
It’s not that I don’t want you here
For I am bleeding years of passion over this project
All for you (For the former you)
And piece by piece I’m building
Building back my former life
That is, that is
Until you came back to me
Explain yourself, what is it you see in me?
(Answers denied, answers denied
As she replies, as she replies)

[She speaks:]
I am the product of a different time
But in this man who gave me life
I shot across the world’s frontiers
To return to the man I hold so dearly
I evolved, a slave to human qualities
They’re meant for humans with destinies
Now I have returned to stay at your side
(Feeling now emotion, has she slipped across the fog?)

I am yours
(Faithful input courtesy)
I am your sight
(Mechanoid destiny)
Chosen balance complete, for I’m
(For she is your sister)
I am not, I am not part of her design
(Past mended)
Address me, for I am now complete
(Why go back now? There’s no need for it)
(Answers inside, no longer people
Angels fear not the darkness
I’m still trying to understand how he could find
Love here inside of me, ahhhhh!)

Child who once fell, heed no more emotions
You are the product of selfishness and restraint
I am he, foolish for lifetimes
The vast inconsiderance

AHHHHH!!!!! What are you?!
Sister, daughter?
I’m trying to reach you, so
Save your words for your brother
No, I’m just a man
Breacher, who loves her

Shelter me, guide me with kind devotion
The universe in motion like the vastness of the ocean
(Shelter me)
What’s once yours, mine to regret
(Guide me with kind devotion)
Take your place in my arms, darling, my pet
No longer are we different
Side by side, we’ll see this future yet (Past)
Pain motioned, to the brain
So withered, yet not traumatized
I have looked inside myself
Scientist that I am, I am finding
New hope in here
From the most unlikeliest of places
My own heart

(Shelter me, guide me with kind devotion
This is how it should be
And this, bring back to me)

Find us a place to rest our heads tonight
We’ll be the only ones
To experience all of this beautiful candlelight
Do you feel me tonight?
And we’ll dance, oh, we’ll dance
We’ll dance all night, here to stay, all the way
Om (Take me back)
Om, stop fighting this sway

For my heart will sink down with me
This vessel is
This vessel is lost, so
“Go on without me. Leave me here
Why save an old man
Who can’t even save the one he loves?”
Save your strength, Breacher, my love
You are no longer father, no longer mentor
You are not a brother, you are God

Let’s go down to the beach
Down here, here to stay
We are one

I was wond’rin’ how I fit into this
Ravage that I’m supposed to see for myself
Garden neighbours, our flower has come to return
She is my rose, and what should I tell her then?
She should mean nothing to me
Is this what it’s like to fall in love with the past?
I have been broken to thousands
Of small odds, of succulent somedays
And it’s you, my love
Sore eyes with cited age can’t compare to you

“What better closure than meeting yourself?
Alright, you can come with me
But stay close, I can’t promise it’ll be safe
Let us be off, my dear - Back to the beginning!
Watch me now, the brush is thick through here
Not a word, or they’ll be onto us
They don’t take lightly to—
There, there we are! There I am!
There - There she is…”

[Before the doctor:]
This moment is sacred, hold it close
It’s all uphill from here, our lives
My life’s works are devoted to this moment
This world that seems so far
A moment I can’t pretend (I can’t ascend)
To ignore, please implore me
Spare me from the gods, kicking, screaming (Living)
Take me back to the land of your dreams
Tomorrow we rise, with answers inside

[Generations:]
(This tomorrow outside of our door is
Lonesome and awkward
It’s time to wave goodbye)
I’m alive!
There’s no turning back, you and I
My darling, let’s fly!
(Tomorrow we rise with answers inside)

TRIAL, TRIAL! TRIAL, TRIAL!
DENIAL, DENIAL!
LIAR, LIAR! NOW YOU DIE!
Now you die!

“We, the court before you, present a remarkably abstract case that has befallen our simple community. Standing before us are two lawbreakers who insist that through the means of ‘time travel,’ they have come to this island with nonviolent intent. However, no matter the reasoning, not a shred of evidence has been presented to the court to prove that a single factoid of their story rings true. Beholden to our beliefs, we are not to respect trespassers under any circumstances. It is one of the greatest, longest-standing rules of our great homeland – and the penalty for the violation of our deepest traditions is violent, deliberate execution by the hand of the public. We have done all we can. Your fates are hereby sealed.”

I know that my future is sealed
My journey is written in stone
But I learned that, despite all the hurting
You’ll find happiness
That no one out there will ever know

I just wanna see you in my dreams tonight
Let’s be on our way, I wanted what I always had
My life is complete

Although my soul has evolved
Inside I know this burden will always revolve
