Alan and Lull - Volcano

Don't hold yourself like that... You'll hurt your knees.
I kissed your mouth and back... But that's all I need.
Don't build your world around... Volcanoes melt you down.

What I am to you is not real. What I am to you you do not need.
What I am to you is not what you mean to me.
You give me miles and miles of mountains and I ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that... In front of me.
I kissed your mouth your back... Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around... Volcanoes melt me down.

What I am to you is not real. What I am to you you do not need.
What I am to you is not what you mean to me.
You give me miles and miles of mountains and I ask...

What I give to you is just what I'm going through.
This is nothing new... No, no, just another phase of finding
what I really need is what makes me bleed.
And like a new disease, she's still too young to treat...

Volcanoes melt me down.
She's still too young.
I kissed your mouth.

You do not need me.

"What, you want to carry me off into the sunset? I don't do that kind of stuff in the first place. You had your turn; you'll have to get in line now."

"... Heh. Actually, I do. I ... I even had a dream about it, actually... That sounds really lame, I know."

"I think you jabbed yourself with a few CCs too many, Hollywood."

"It really does sound ridiculous, doesn't it? I used to hear people say that kinda stuff in movies and think, 'What a crock of shit.' But now, I know that it really means something..."

"Yeah? Did you have your pretty dream before or after you raped me?!"

[pause]

"I... I didn't want ... Didn't mean to. I know that doesn't make sense... You know the story about the fox and the grapes? I was impatient and I fucked myself over..."

This is done for now.

Or until I think of something better.

Fuck.

Just to give you a better idea for the situation, Alan is a guard at the prison Lull was incarcerated at. She's currently in the maximum security Cellblock H, AKA 'Hellblock.' Alan strives to not be like the other guards -- as a Corrections Officer, his idea is that somewhere along the line he's supposed to help the inmates. So eventually he met Lull and somehow fell in love with her, but she won't have anything to do with him and everything he does seems to put him further and further in the hole, taking things too far, saying things that don't make sense to someone who's lived so long in a world without any love.
