This Is What It Takes

A/N: My Lumps is My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas
(I found it funny.)
Built For Blame is a song that belongs to Get Scared

(They are awesome and I tweaked some lyrics)
"Why are we here?" Flame Prince asked in a bored tone.
"Because, each time Marshall si- sang a song to me, he would always change it at the last minute to surprise me. I'm curious." Gumball replied with no hesitation.
"Fine, I bet he'll suck though." Flame Prince said.

"Thank you LSP, with your rendition of, My Lumps. Up next we have Marshall Lee the Vampire King." Peppermint Maid said excitedly.
'Okay…you can do this.' Marshall thought to himself and began to walk on stage.
He grabbed the mic and spoke.
"Hello everyone, I wrote this song myself. Now I know many of you heard about what happened between me and Gumball."
"What is he singing again?" Flame Prince asked in a whisper.
"I don't know, probably how he regrets breaking up with me and wants to see if I'll take him back. Which I wouldn't do anyway." Gumball said with a smirk.
"I would like to say…you've got the story twisted." Marshall stated. "I broke up with him because-"
"Because you're a butt!" Fionna yelled out, making the others laugh.
"You know what, just listen to the song." Marshall said and began to play, but before he started he noticed Gumball giving him a questioning look.
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
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 is lock to bleed
This wreck you've made it's all you'll need
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
Picture perfect down the drain again and again
I'm really tired of these
Stupid little people knocking me 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
I sit inside my head
'Cause this is such a curse
I sit inside my head
'Cause nothing ever worked
Nothing ever works
'Cause what if this doesn't work
I sit inside my head
This is such a curse
And it never ever worked
Before he began the next verse, Marshall rolled up his sleeves and held up his left arm; revealing his cuts to the entire audience.
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...
(Guess I'm the one to blame)
When he was done, he saw everyone staring at him with their mouth agape.
"Does that explain everything?" He said with pseudo-innocence.
The trance was broken when someone shouted, "Explains how much of a jerk you really are to embarrass the prince like that." And after that, everyone seemed to agree and began throwing things at Marshall, including Gumball.
"Freak!"
"JERK!"
"Why not let yourself bleed to death." Cake yelled.
Marshall ran off the stage and took off to his home.

"They want me gone, so I'll grant them their wish." Marshall said aloud.
He grabbed his knife and began to write a note.
When he was done he walked to the cliff.
