The vertex of

arc, the searc

I’m catatonic 

in your arms, 

cryin’ “How di

d I cause so m

uch harm?”

     
I’m down pound

ing my head
            
Against the ki

tchen floor
            
Apologizing fo

              
r my life and 

     
ever entering 

yours
              
Don’t say “I’m

 
 sorry, but th

is can’t go on

”, I know you’

ve got scars o

f your own
     
But hide my kn

ives before yo

u go, I'll eit

But someday I’

and I’ll make 

          
up for it all


(And write a fucking song about it ‘cause it has to be all about Will’s fucking drama, 
god damn it! Sorry. Fuck, I’m sorry.)
