--- Will's Forgotten Mystery Verse:
Apologize, no I'm not doing it
Look at my eyes, I'm still pursuing it
Don't tell lies, control you're losing it
Your just biding our time
I choose to lose, don't believe in reason
I paid my dues, that life is treason
It's just a ruse, excise that leasion
Don't let that train get there this time.
