Summary: A short songfic about Raven using Linkin Park's song Numb, which I don't own. Reviews would be nice.





	Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be  
  
Feeling so faithless  
  
Lost under the surface  
  
I don't know what you're expecting of me  
  
Put under the pressure  
  
Of walking in your shoes  
  
Raven was tired. Tired of the pain, tired of the fighting, tired of life. Tired of being Hiltz's pawn, tired of walking in the zoidian's shoes. The Genobreaker stood in front of Hiltz's zoid. He dropped down onto one knee and waited.  
  
Caught in the undertow  
  
Just caught in the undertow  
  
Every step that I take is  
  
Another mistake to you  
  
Every single thing he did, Hiltz found fault with. Raven was dragged into his plan, and then Shadow was killed. Raven was going to kill Hiltz even if he died, just to get revenge for Shadow.  
  
I've  
  
Become so numb  
  
I can't feel you there  
  
Become so tired  
  
So much more aware  
  
I'm becoming this  
  
All I want to do  
  
Is be more like me  
  
And be less like you  
  
Raven was numb. He felt nothing, knew nothing. He was so tired, so aware of Hiltz's thoughts. Raven hadn't slept, just stood there and stared at the slowly charging particle gun.  
  
Can't you see that you're smothering me  
  
Holding too tightly  
  
Afraid to lose control  
  
'cause everything that you thought I would be  
  
has fallen apart right in front of you  
  
Hiltz smirked at Raven. The boy had fallen into his trap, becoming a pawn, becoming a miniature Hiltz. And now, it was his time to die. Hiltz had thought that Raven would be angry at Van when Shadow was killed. But instead, the Dark One had fallen apart. Hiltz could see that it was taken most of the boy's energy not to break apart right there.  
  
Caught in the undertow  
  
Just caught in the undertow  
  
Every step that I take is  
  
Another mistake to you  
  
Caught in the undertow  
  
Just caught in the undertow  
  
And every second I waste  
  
Is more than I can take  
  
Raven watched the bright light, knowing nothing except numbness. He sent an apology to Shadow before steeling himself to die.  
  
I've  
  
Become so numb  
  
I can't feel you there  
  
Become so tired  
  
So much more aware  
  
I'm becoming this  
  
All I want to do  
  
Is be more like me  
  
And less like you  
  
Raven wanted to be his own person, not another Hiltz. He couldn't even see Hiltz through the glare of the charged particle cannon.  
  
But I know  
  
I may end up failing too  
  
But I know  
  
You were just like me  
  
With someone disappointed in you  
  
Raven smiled bitterly as the beam launched. He lifted his head and stared into the eyes of his tormentor before the light swallowed him up.  
  
I've  
  
Become so numb  
  
I can't feel you there  
  
Become so tired  
  
So much more aware  
  
I'm becoming this  
  
All I want to do  
  
Is be more like me  
  
And less like you
