Ed was singing again.
Alone.
In his room.
And the lyrics were viciously tearing Al's heart apart and stomping the pieces into the floor.
"Eyes can only see what they want
When they're open minded to the thought
Of getting hurt again, beaten to the bone
With the thought of all your worst events."
Ed had most likely thought Al had gone into town, and was taking the time to just release his feelings.
"You said just look (you just look) don't touch
Oh you think you know
It's exactly what you want for love, love
Your heart without a key and just a lock to bleed
This wreck you've made it's all you'll need."
Al shouldn't be listening to this, not at all, and yet he couldn't bring himself to move.
"This is what it takes to breathe (we're getting up again)
This is what it takes to fake a smile and say
That everything's okay
As long as I take blame."
One of Al's slender hands clasped itself over their mouth to muffle a sob.
Was this really how his brother felt..?
"Picture perfect down the drain again and again
I'm really tired of these
Stupid little people knocking you to the ground
You would've never found
The mess you made
I hope it's worth all of the shame."
"This is what it takes to breathe (we're getting up again)
This is what it takes to fake a smile and say
That everything's okay
As long as I take blame"
"We sit inside our heads
'cause this is such a curse
We sit inside our heads
'cause nothing ever worked
Nothing ever works."
"'cause what if this doesn't work
We sit inside our heads
This is such a curse
And it never ever worked."
"This is what it takes to breathe
This is what it takes to fake a smile and say
That everything's okay
As long as I take blame."
"This is what it takes to breathe (we're getting up again)
This is what it takes to fake a smile and say
That everything's okay
As long as I take blame."
Alphonse was out of the apartment as soon as the last note left his brother's lips, tears streaming down his face.
