I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

(The Yeerk screams at the other Controllers, who have screwed up something.)

All these words they make no sense

(The Controllers try to explain. They are killed)

I find bliss in ignorance

(The Yeerk's host screams at him. He tries to block it out.)

Less I hear the less you'll say

But you'll find that out anyway

(He hopes that if he ignores the screams, his host will shut up.)

Just like before ...

(He remembers the battle on the Hork-Bajir world. He'd had a different host back then, but it screamed just as loud.)

Everything you say to me

(One of the "Andalite bandits" — Ax actually — taunts the Yeerk)

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(The Yeerk tries to kill Ax. He misses.)

I need a little room to breathe

(After the battle, he walks away from the other Yeerks because he needs to be alone)

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(But that won't stop the enraged thought-speak cries of his host. It won't stop the endless scream in the Yeerk's head.)

I find the answers aren't so clear

(The Yeerk's trying once again to find a way to defeat the "Andalite bandits". He can't come up with anything.)

Wish I could find a way to disappear

(He's sick of everything. The Animorphs, the other Yeerks, his own host ... )

All these thoughts they make no sense

(The Yeerk reads his host's mind, but doesn't understand what he sees.)

I find bliss in ignorance

(He convinces himself once again that his host's emotions are irrelevant.)

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

(The host is still yelling, driving the Yeerk crazier than he already is.)

Just like before ...

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

(The Yeerk has left his host to swim in the Yeerk pool. He hears his host's cries no longer. He only hears his own endless, unheard scream.)

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to ... break!

(The Yeerk is back in his host.)

Shut up when I'm talking to you!

(The Yeerk is yelling at the world for no reason.)

I'm about to break

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to ...

Break!

(The Yeerk and his host are alone. The Yeerk's mind is whirling, and all the while his Andalite host is still screaming.)

Well, how was it? Please R/R, and then go read Insanity Equals Happiness, which has had another chapter uploaded, but hasn't been moved to the top of the list yet. Grr. What is up with the *censored* *censored* — aw, forget it. Just R/R it (or else! bwahahaha!)
