(Peeta's POV)

Oddly, I had been dreaming of immense power, and a son, for some reason, since Belle's birth. I'm not sure how or why this is so, but I don't get time to think much of it before my eyes fall shut.

(A/N: start song now/Phantom lyrics in italics, Gustave lyrics in normal, both together in bold)

Have you ever yearned to go
Past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call
Of the beauty underneath?

Have you let it draw you in
Past the place where dreams begin?
Felt the full breathless pull
Of the beauty underneath?

When the dark unfolds its wings
Do you sense the strangest things?
Things no one would ever guess
Things mere words cannot express?

Yes

Do you find yourself beguiled
By the dangerous and wild?
Do you feed on the need
For the beauty underneath?

Have you felt your senses surge
And surrendered to the urge?
Have been hooked as you looked at the
At the beauty underneath?

When you stare behind the night
Can you glimpse its primal might?
Might you hunger to possess
Hunger that you can't repress?

Yes
It seems so beautiful
So strange yet beautiful
Everything's just as you say

And he's so beautiful
Perhaps too beautiful
What I suspect cannot be
And yet somehow, we both see
The very same way

Is the music in your head
Have you followed where it led?
And been graced with a taste
Of the beauty underneath?

Does it fill your every sense
Is it terribly intense?
Tell me you need it too
Need the beauty underneath

When it lifts its voice and sings
Don't you feel amazing things?
Things you know you can't confess
Things you thirst for nonetheless

It all so beautiful
Can it be?
Almost too beautiful
Do you see what I see?

To him it's beautiful
My world is beautiful
How can this be what it seems?
All of my most secret dreams
Somehow set free

You can feel the lift
(Yes)
Come closer
(Yes)
You've no fear of the beauty underneath

You can face it
(Yes)
You can take it
(Yes)
You see through to the beauty underneath

To the splendor
(Splendor)
And the glory
(And the glory)
To the truth of the beauty underneath
(The beauty underneath)

You'll accept it
(Yes)
You'll embrace it
(Yes)
Let me show you the beauty underneath

To the splendor
(Splendor)
And the glory
(And the glory)
To the truth of the beauty underneath
(The beauty underneath)

You'll accept it
(Yes)
You'll embrace it
(Yes)
Let me show you the beauty under-

I wake to the high-pitched scream of my wife, interrupting my dream, therefore waking me.

Odd enough, right?

Wait a little bit. It only gets weirder and weirder as time crawls on.

This is James. He's one of my best guy friends. He's great 😂

Sorry this chapter is so short! It was a last-minute idea I just randomly came up with. If it's confusing, oh well. I wasn't really expecting anyone to understand it that much anyways 😂

Gonna try out for football cheer, but it doesn't matter to me whether or not I make it bc I'll still do wrestling cheer anyways.

That's all. ☺️

Till I hear you sing once more.
