[You know what’s worse then waking up to someone singing badly right by your head? Waking up to an ENTIRE CASTLE doing it. Harvey’s been staring at the ceiling for awhile, wondering where the nice calm castle from just yesterday went, side-eyeing the journal as if he might will it closed. For some reason the idea of having to go over and do it himself sounds completely horrible right now. His whole body practically aches, like he hasn’t moved in weeks. Which is silly! Because he remembers the past few weeks and he definitely was not stuck in bed! Yes…]
[Eventually it gets to a point where he can’t bear to listen to Two-Face complain about having to listen to one more stupid song, and he rolls out of bed with a faint huff of stiff pain. He’s right on the verge of closing the stupid book and going to lay down again, but the castle has the best sense of timing ever, and suddenly Two-Face’s vague thoughts become something coherent and… well…]
♪What will you do?
What will you do?
Mmm~ Every fool gets a lucky chance or two
I been waiting for the cards to fall;
To catch all your mistakes
I’ve been watching you… just to see you break♪
[There is a vague choking sound here, like he’s trying to interrupt himself even as he keeps going]
♪I watched you grow
I saw you fall again and again
You'd cut your knees
You'd start to bleed
But wouldn't let the pain in
You let the dogs bite at your ankles
Let the sunshine burn your eyes
But will you just walk away this time? ♪
[A low, darkly pleased hum]
♪I'll watch you crumble into sand
If the right shows mercy
I'll use the left hand ♪
[And as he hums the last few notes to himself, he finally closes the journal. Hmm, well that was interesting. Normally, he’d bitch about the castle taking his voice but… for now he and Harvey clearly need to talk about trying to interrupt each other in the middle of a song… Honestly man]
