lyrics

Raven:
When the story of your life becomes unfurled and you find
that it was just a fabrication
And all you loved or thought you had or thought you lost
was just an excersize in baseline exploitation
Whatever heros noble journey that you're on is just
a drunken run from tears to degradation
And all you'll ever know is desperation as you try to find distractuon to avoid stagnation

stay with me
stay with me
stay with me
stay with me

All your trials big and small
they mean nothing after all
it means nothing, means nothing after all

All the good men youve known
they will all die alone
it means nothing, means nothing after all

The truth behind your life's not even worth the time it takes to make a wish in hopeful expectation
yours is a truth filled woth abuse and patricide and years spent scrounging on the streets in depravation
here with me i offer so much more than love or the useless life of quiet desperation
emancipation of reality is yours, its deviation and the joys of domination

stay with me
stay with me
stay with me
stay with me

All your trials big and small
they mean nothing after all
it means nothing, means nothing after all

All the good men youve known
they will all die alone
it means nothing, means nothing after all

…..


Helen:
you must survive this
you will get through this somehow
you must survive this
just breath' let it out

do not break now
just wait until this ends
just survive this
then go ans find your friends

this is madness,
maybe he'll make a mistake
there is always
the chance you can escape

if you hurt him
will he hurt you even worse
you could kill him
i think i did this once before

you must survive this
you must get through this right now
you must survive this
just breath and let it out




Raven:
Helen don't you want me
all the lovers that you choose
they will all one day leave you
Helen don't you want me
leave you nothing but alive and with nothing esle but time
Helen don't you want me
oh nothing else but time is all you'll ever find

…..


Han Mi:
You will leave her alone, you will go
you will step down or i swear that you will know
such sorrow, grief you cant believe
screams of anguish and of strife
and in your torment and in tears you'll scream and cry
to end your life, i’m han mi, i
you will beg me then to die
beg me cease, unholy things
pain and woe you will know if you do not let her go


Raven:
Ooooooh, you are magnificent. Wow did i screw this up. It wasnt helen that broke the cabaret, was it? It was you. You're the one. Oh im an idiot. Do you even appreciate what you just did? You changed the narrative.

Han Mi:
I want the door out of here opened

Raven:
Well, while it's not me who you should be asking, if you understood this sort of thing better, which i could have... oh, that has sailed... you'd know this is exactly the sort of moment where...

Sheriff:
w...w... we...

Helen:
Hank whats going on?

Sheriff:
I don't know... w.... we.... we.... we wish to initiate confrontation. Confrontation….

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
