Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

I was meant to help Bruce stop the Arkham Knight and his veangeful plan to destroy Gotham along with Scarecrow and with the help of Gotham's villains. It was only a kiss, one that was once familiar to me.

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
Now my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress, now
Let me go

I had to go. I just had to. The Knight and I...we made love to one another until the sun rose across the Gotham. Then when the morning came, he let me go. Just like that.

Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

I couldn't look him in the eyes. The ones I came to love when I was younger. The ones that dulled at the sight of the bat. Jason...that's who it is. That's who I fell in love with all over again.

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

Jason turned an angel into the devil. Joker moulded him into something more sinister...more violent that the sixteen year old boy I knew. However, Jason opened my eyes to something else. The things...no, horrors he saw: all the blood, the scars, the bruising. All of it.

But in the end, it's the price we pay in order to reach our destiny. So he held on longer even though he contradicted himself.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
(It was only a kiss)
It was only a kiss

He held onto me like I was in Infinity War, fading away from reality. (Sorry.) I was standing by his side, a sinister smirk rose on my face under my mask.

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

I placed my hands on his chest, looking up at him through the helmet. He pulls me closer, resting his chin on my head. Slowly, he pulled away from this moment and he starts yelling orders to his militia soldiers.

'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Bruce was controlling my actions...thoughts...everything I do, he was controlling. It was killing me.

Nightwing's POV

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

The Arkham Knight took her from me. He turned a saint to a sinner, who sings sick lullabies. It's kills me to know that (Name) was in his hands; holding her, loving her.

I never
I never
I never
I never
I never

I never had a chance...

Been a while. Sorry that it has become that. School work and life got in the way. Hopefully during Summer break I can update more but...
