'the hand' by annabelle dinda, except it's apbaon!scott.
"a hand, a spike" would basically be zach hurting scott
"a physical fight" would be any time zach and scott would fight and zach would overpower scott
"a flash of light" would be the performance of romeo and juliet
"a curtain" would be the scene with zach scott and jimmy backstage
"a toll" would probably be zach financially abusing scott
"a tithe" would be scott begging his father to let him stay
"the passage of time" would be scott slowly falling in love with jimmy
"a height, a dive" would be lauren on the bridge
"a burden" would be scott after finding out lauren, zach, and the kid who khs because of scott were all dead
"a girl, a night" would be when scott took his anger out on gem
"a typical type, a siren in the water" would be scott's initial image of zach and how zach turned out to not be mr perfect like scott thought he was
"a scroll" would be the scene of scott and jimmy practicing their lines together alone
"a nod, a message from god" ig would be them getting married??
"a son" maybe joey because he always sucked up to scott's father
"a holy father" scott's father
"every time a guy writes a song, he's a sailor, a cowboy. holding out the world in his palm like he made it himself" (although it already has a meaning) would be scott's distorted image of love, and how he accused jimmy's "love" of just being jimmy wanting to get into scott's pants instead of truly cherishing him
"every time i open my mouth, i think wow what a loud noise. still up in the soapbox just hoping i seem underwhelmed" would be scott reserving his feelings and upset so he can blend in with the crowd that he was thrust into when he started dating zach
