My body's on the line -

I can't fight this time now

I can feel the light shine on my face

Did I disappoint you?

Will they still let me over

If I cross the line?

- Rocky thinking about how he failed his whole crew and all of erid and his partner by letting them die, and not going home because he hasn't found the answer yet.

Take a seat

But I'd rather you not be here for

What could be my final form

Stay your pretty eyes on course

Keep the memories of who I was before

So stay with me because

I can't fight this time now

I can feel the light shine on my face

Did I disappoint you?

Will they still let me over

Honestly

I thought I was fully prepared for

The threshold in store

Stay your pretty eyes on course

I guess I never really faced my fears before

So stay with me because

My body's on the line now

Pull the blanket tight now

I can feel the light shine on my face

Did I disappoint you?

Will they still let me over

If I cross the line?

Grace being saved by rocky and rocky in tern saving rocky, trying to live without rocky thinking about what he would do if rocky is actually dead

Please don't let them see me

Sure there's nothing left to try

I can feel the light shine on my face

Did I disappoint you?

Will they still let me over

If I cross the line?

If I cross the line

If I cross the line

Part 2 (?) PREVIOUS/NEXT

Like an angler fish

Honor Code: I fully photo manipulated Ellie in Procreate (no AI), because every attempt at getting that eerie size and just otherworldly Eldridge horror would not match what's in my brain to the tablet. I drew over her and edited her color palette like in ye olden paint/photoshop days.

((Edited a panel I didn’t like)
