Waking up alone, like a man that failed
Trapped into the mists of our fairytale
And you know, you know, you know I'm still inside

I knew it all along but I couldn't tell...
This kind of love would lock my heart in jail
You know, you know, you know it's doing time

Caught in the middle of, the dawn and the sunrise
Life is a miracle, I saw it in your eyes
Under the spotlight, I howl in the moonlight, howling for youuuuu

Take it on, take it on, and get me through the night
Take it on, take it on, until the morning light
Take it on, take it on, and get me through the night
Take it on, take it on, take it on

I've heard it all before, people always say
Time can take the sorrow and the pain away
You know, you know, this love will never die

Caught in the middle of, the dawn and the sunrise
Life is a miracle, I saw it in your eyes
Under the spotlight, I howl in the moonlight, howling for youuuuu

Caught in the middle of, the dawn and the sunrise
Life is a miracle, I saw it in your eyes
Under the spotlight, I howl in the moonlight, howling for youuuuu

Take it on, take it on, and get me through the night
Take it on, take it on, until the morning light
Take it on, take it on, and get me through the night
Take it on, take it on, take it on

I cross the oceans, I fly on the skyline
Drive any road that will lead me by your side

(Instrumental break)

(Howl)

Take it on, take it on, and get me through the night
Take it on, take it on, until the morning light
Take it on, take it on, and get me through the night
Take it on, take it on, take it on

Caught in the middle of, the dawn and the sunrise
Life is a miracle, I saw it in your eyes

Back in May last year, when I found this song, it didn't take long before it became what I think of as the Fullmetal Animatronic theme. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it feels like an equal mix of Larc En Ciel and Asian Kung-Fu Generation, with some absolutely perfect lyrics, maybe it's the music video which makes Cyprus look like Resembool. I don't know. But if Fullmetal Animatronic (FMAF? FMAN?) was an anime, this would be the opening song. I even made a 94-second edit in Goldwave for it and everything.

I'll be honest, since May I haven't really been thinking this far ahead. It's better not to think of this as a story and think of it more as an art project, or like any of the FNAF/Doctor Who crossovers I've made entire folders for in the past. I'll keep adding to it in bits and pieces, and in no particular chronological order... I'm not really a writer, but maybe I just don't have the time...

I need to take my time with this, and think things through... it needs more characters, good guys and bad guys... making up villains isn't really my forte, but maybe I can create something or create characters who are more like Scar. They start off as antagonists but they're not really evil, they're doing what they think is right, and eventually redeem themselves or sacrifice themselves for the main characters. Or something.

Maybe I should just have a ripoff of William Afton/Pink Guy be behind things, and be irredeemably evil, and impose his will on damned animatronics. I'm open to suggestions, anyway. Things that either borrow from FMA or FNAF, or are just good ideas.

Joey's howling face looks silly and not at all scary. Oh well, better luck next time....
