Picture To Burn

State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine, you won't mind if I say
By the way

Will Solace. The cheater. Nico still couldn't believe  he fell for that cowboy. They weren't in fairy tales. That was what Nico had wanted, right? A perfect fantasy. Yeah. Well, looks like Will loved himself way more than Nico. More than he could love anyone, ever. He went and told all the boys that he was "obsessive and crazy". Percy had told Nico that much. Apparently he couldn't stand seeing Nico "so vulnerable" and "unstable". Nico had rolled his eyes at that. Yeah, right. He'd thought.

I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

Nico really hated that stupid old pickup truck Will never let him drive. Will was Texan, about as American as you can get. A heartbreak. When Nico confronted him of cheating, he knew this much.

"You're really bad at lying!"

After that, he had went to the Hades cabin, which still looked like a vampire cave, grabbed as many photos as he could carry in his hands, and tossed them in the campfire.

There's no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be

Nico wasn't crying. It wasn't worth it. Not on Will. So, he crocheted whilst planning his revenge.

I could go out with all of your best friends! Nico thought, and called up Percy. And if he comes around saying sorry to me, Hades is gonna show you how sorry you'll be!

'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

Nico still hated that stupid old pickup truck Will never let him drive. Will was a heartbreaking American whose really bad at lying. "Watch me strike a match on all my wasted time!" Nico sung, drizzling oil over Will's old truck.

And if you're missing me, you'd better keep it to yourself
'Cause coming back around here would be bad for your health

Will came around the next morning to go and apologize to Nico, but Hades was waiting at his door. "If you go inside, you die." Hades bleakly threatened.

'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard, I really, really hate that
Stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

"Oh, do I hate that stupid old pickup truck..." Nico said, watching Will's face as he watched the oil spread.

"No!"

"This is for never letting me drive!"

"I never did that!"

"You're still really bad at lying!"

Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby, burn

And with that, Nico dropped the match.
