Somewhere On the Atlantic - New Years Eve, 1958
This deep dive's in baby steps, I'm not the type to straight confess
I saved a letter that said, 'Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt'
I didn't want to take the credit for when I swiped the dame and yet...
Until my pay's collected, she'll wait by my side with bated breath
Attached at the hip like bayonets, I kidnapped Anna to make amends
If we're making honest statements she never even saw the age of ten...
Final arrangements left me debating if I would wake up dead
Laid to rest in the wide array of sixty foot tidal waves ahead
I'm dropping sail again, hearing radio commercials in the breeze
I near a Bathysphere to leave - A spherical submersible machine
In a lighthouse off the coast of Greenland, some sunken alien crashed ship
The shuttle made it to Rapture amongst other subterranean factions
Subtly displaying ads - Anna's the mainline attraction
Regularly asking about the location of dead angels and ADAM
She opened tears in the fabric of spacetime yet could never go
It's then I chose powers called plasmids to rewrite my genetic code
I suppose the object of my affection was a childish ghost
Needing a symbiotic interaction, the girl was the only viable host
A genetically enhanced isotope; Tetrahedron triangles disguised
Now I can prove she's alive, everything science claimed to deny...
Replicate and survive; I preserve all armored diving suits I find
Organs sliced and groomed then spliced into the giant brute inside
Fontaine's Orphanage was the buyer, the meeting seemed prearranged
As mutated goons made their move I was immediately enraged
I engaged and slayed these eaters of offspring like the genophage
Took center stage, relieved the mob seemingly didn't have their weapons aimed
Stray bullets never pierced my metal, taking shots was a test of will
I gripped a heavy drill and pressed the hilt until all intestines spilled
Screams intense and shrill, filling an EVE kit is a bitter pill
Incinerate, Electrocute... unleash Telekinesis and Winter Chill!
Like ink from tentacles, limbs in receptacles limit the spectacle
My mind state was like the vibration behind a quivering reticle
Industry professionals guessed interest in the debt would rise
1959... the end is nigh in this fucked up head of mine
To Anna's surprise we managed to thrive; There's no talking directly
She just skipped along incessantly, "Daddy will always protect me..."
Sorry I let you down.
Office of Booker DeWitt - Investigations Into Matters Both Public & Private
Nightmares tolerate a crawling pace, yet I was shocked awake
The ominous depths of my consciousness replaced with an office space
In awful pain, my body aches... A nearby fan just oscillates...
Jostling a locked and framed 'Private Investigator' badge that's on display
Ignoring chalkboard dates and evidence of what's scrawled across the way...
On that building... A haunting phrase now washed away by lots of rain
My daughter stayed oddly complacent while a Songbird played
Her crib rocking from small earthquakes - An uncanny valley with tall terrain
It's all a game... Who paused my save in the trauma stage?
If laws can break, my heart's encased in chain linking armored plates
Up here I'm far from safe even with combinations to dull the pain
Anna is a toy, not to be played with - A reborn doll her late momma made...
A KNOCK erased all the traces of cobwebs crowding atop my brain
I wandered to the door knob, rotating what's been unlocked for days
An old man leaned on a cane, shoddy posture/gait was commonplace
"Comstock's the name..." He exclaimed as he extended a palm to shake
"I thought you may want to locate someone that was lost with haste"
I respond, "Okay, but if it's not too late I'll sit and contemplate"
Comstock's unfazed, "I didn't come all this way to watch you lob grenades"
"We must find this fallen angel... I'll compensate should you want the case..." (I nodded)
"Great! But you can no longer claim to hold the prophet's gaze"
"You're not absolved from flawed remains that shouldered all the blame"
"I know you were taught to create a world where all your thoughts escape"
"But you're not shipshape, hence why your daughter's fate was met on a lake..."
"Best not to stray..." He walked away before I questioned his knowledge base
Guess long delays grandfather in what only God can say...
Anna starts bawling, strange... she's made of vinyl plank and water paint...
A doppelganger? Think I'll go check on my baby if it's all the same...
Anna, is that you?
