I don’t think that was part of the song \*_Crepitus_. It was sung by Cyndi Grecco. No matter, here’s another one for **Team 1** to catch us up:

_It’s been **one** week since you looked at me  
Cocked your head to the side and said “I’m angry”  
 **Five** days since you laughed at me saying  
“Get that together come back and see me”  
 **Three** days since the living room  
I realized it’s all my fault, but couldn’t tell you_
