 | So you feel entitled to a sense of control And make decisions that you think are your own You are a stranger here, why have you come? Why have you come, lift me higher, let me look at the sun Look at the sun and once I hear them clearly, say Who, who are you really? And where, where are you going? I've got nothing left to prove Cause I've got nothing left to lose See me bare my teeth for you Who, who are you? Now you're moving on and you say you're alone Suspicious that this string is moving your bones We are the fire, we see how they run See how they run, lift me higher, let me look at the sun Look at the sun and once I hear them clearly, say Who, who are you really? And where, where are you going? I've got nothing left to prove Cause I've got nothing left to lose See me bare my teeth for you See me bare my teeth |
| ϵ AGENT WASHINGTON ϵ |
| My asymmetrical and non-linear understanding (misunderstanding of) the past few years are only like a dog who bites someones hand. It's reflex; by the time the newspaper is swatted at it, it's too late. The dog has forgotten everything but shame and self defeat - but not the why. |
| Militant, direct, and justice-oriented, Agent Washington is the product of far too many variables tunneling in on him at once. He has assumed role after role as it was required of him over time - soldier, military operative, recovery agent, prisoner, antagonist, and finally, leader and friend. After the events on Chorus, the cocktail of relief, concern, and grief of that war's conclusion had left him all but drained, and more than ready for a moment of respite. With the Reds and Blues, Washington felt closer to the man called "David" than he had in years, even if he was still achingly far from the mark. It was easy for him to fall into step, upon his arrival; easy for him to become the bastion of solidity and leadership that kept him together back on Chorus. The landscape and circumstances around him are always changing, but Washington is nothing if not adaptable. He considers that one of his few assets, and it's certainly had its use here. |

What if there's nothing more to me?
I'm just skin and bones
There's no mystery
What if you're just an empty shell?
All your spare parts were used up by someone else
What if there's no way to explain things like deja vu and acid rain?
What if we're all just broken shelves, full of someone else's thoughts?
What if there's nothing more to us?
We're just carbon-based
We're just pixie dust
What if life is a magic trick?
Some quick slight of hand just to make us think
What if consciousness can't expand
And we fool ourselves with absurd demands?
What if there is no point at all?
We just grow up to fade away.
What if there's nothing more to me?
I'm just skin and bones.
What if there's nothing more to you?
What if there's nothing left for us?
Will anyone remember?
Does it all just simply turn to dust?
Will we be alright left alone tonight?
Will we be alright left alone tonight?
Will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights?

You're the mouth of the tunnel just before the dark
I'm the headlights speeding through the stars
And we're lost in the spaces of who we are
And we move through the nights 'till we take it too far
Hold it together when we move apart
Let the landscape burn like a dying art
Driven by the energy in our hearts
We were built to be reckless from the start
'Cause we're getting lost and found when we're carried away
I feel it all around, even in our mistakes
And when we're up, we're down, in the evening space
We're getting lost and found, when we're carried away
When we're carried away
The truth gets tired when we lie awake
So we dive into dreams that they can't sedate
Breathe in and out, to go all the way
Trip 'till we're fixed in a higher state
And the light just flickers past our faces
We're living out a dream 'cause we're always wasted
And the light just flickers past our faces
We never stay still when we're chasing places
He's stricken by the same anxieties that plagues every leader - that plagues all the best leaders, because only the worst of them are self-assured to the point where they don't succumb to self-doubt - and haunted by guilt when there's anyone he can't save. This, all of this, is an intensely familiar feeling. Wash, for his part, can't say he knows how to help with that struggle. He can only give Keith the assurance that he's not the only one to live through it.
Keith marks a solidity in a world that's anything but, and that makes him marginally more trustworthy than most others.

Inch by inch
We grow to something more
But we're unaware
Of how high we've gone unaware of
Gaining air
Rushing past the twilight zone
Getting scared
Afraid of all I've never, never known
And I know I should have my head in the clouds
But this altitude’s got me searching for solid ground
Solid ground
Step by step
We keep moving on
But how do we know
That we're moving on
To where we should go
Leaning in
Rushing past the comfort zone
No fear now
Embracing all I've never, never known
And now that I have my head in the clouds
I'm gaining altitude and I'm never coming down
No
Lance presumes himself the weak link in his team in such a way that Wash can't help but find familiar. He remembers too well how it felt to be the rookie whose most notable achievement was getting a grappling hook stuck to his balls, and being regarded as the worst on his squad. The problem is that Lance seems to have taken this sort of assessment to heart, and there's no knowing what might reverse the downward trajectory of his thinking.

Look, I didn't power through the struggle
Just to let a little trouble, knock me out of my position
And interrupt the vision
After everything I witnessed, after all of these decisions
All these miles, feet, inches
They can't add up to the distance
That I have been through, just to get to
A place where even if there's no closure, I'm still safe
I still ache from trying to keep pace
Somebody give me a sign, I'm starting to lose faith
Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
How did I lose it when I was right there?
Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
Tell me why the world never fights fair
I'm trying to find
Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home
It's been a long time coming
Someone take me
Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
How did I lose it when I was right there?
Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
Tell me why the world never fights fair
I'm trying to find
I found no cure for the loneliness
I found no cure for the sickness
Nothing here feels like home
Crowded streets, but I'm all alone
From the brief interactions Wash has had with the man, he can determine that Shiro is similarly intent and duty-bound, just like the rest of his team

Am I brave enough?
Am I strong enough?
To follow the desire
That burns from within
To push away my fear
To stand where I'm afraid
I am through with this
Cuz I am more than this
I promise to myself
Alone and no one else
My flame is rising higher
I've been sacrificed
My Hearts been cauterized
Hanging on to hope
Shackled by the ghost
Of what I once believed
That I could never be
What's right in front of me?
I don't believe I'll fall from grace
Won't let the past decide my fate
Leave forgiveness in my wake
Take the love that I've embraced
I promise to myself, me and no one else
I am more than this
I am the fire
I am burning brighter
Roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waiting for
Screaming like a siren
Alive and burning brighter
I am the fire

Still, there have been times where she's proven influential to reason, and she's even helped him. The latter case might have had more to do with her needing something to do with herself, but it was still an act of goodwill that she didn't have to bother with.

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
He's capable of turning into something truly terrible, apparently. Wash would like to quietly ensure that never happens.
