Michael:

Can you remind me what we are doing here?

Chris Van Sickle:

Shh, be quiet Michael. The performance is starting, so you better be paying attention this time

Michael:

Performance? Performance of what?

Chris Van Sickle:

Just face forward and pay attention to the show

Michael:

Fine. I’ll be quiet. This better be good though

[Applause fades out slowly during the conversation, and is completely gone by the end. There is a slight moment of silence, followed by singing. The performance has begun.]

[1] E + O:

I’ll love you for all of my life

For better or worse, all my life

All that I do, has been for you

So Love, call me yours every night

[1] E:

I promise to stay by your side

Just let me know where I should go

And in case that’s not what you noticed

It’s something I pray that you know

I’ll be the one like I promised

I hope you see that as fact

You’re all that I want, please understand

You hold all the things that I lack

[1] O:

Every time we are together

You’re all I have in my sight

I prayed to the Gods for some guidance

And they sent me you as a light

I’d walk you through all the darkness

Just never let go of my hand

I promise you beautiful music

You’ll always be part of my plan

[1] C + E + O:

I’ll love you for all of my life

For better or worse, all my life

All that you see, was never for me

So love, I’ll be yours all my life

All my life

[1] E:

How can I know if our love is true?

[1] O:

Let me express all that I feel for you

[2] O:

The most beautiful face that I’ve seen

With eyes like glistening water

I promise you’re everything to me

And I can’t wait any longer

The world knows my beautiful music

But no one has seen my muse

So I’ll write you beautiful music

You’re all that I never want to lose

[3] E:

Love! Come close and hold me!

Love! I feel death in my veins

Sing to me beautiful music

Heal me of all of my pain

[3] E:

Darling, I’m scared, come and hold me

I thought we would never be apart

Right now you are all I want to see

I can feel the slowing of my heart

[3] O:

There must be a way that I can help you

You and I aren’t made to part

Just tell me exactly what I need to do

To save your dying heart

You’re dying…

I promise you life, I’ll rescue you today!

I promise you I’ll find a way

[3] A:

Go find her…

Bring her back…

Go find her…

Bring her back…

[4] O:

My only goal is now to save my lover

She still had so much life left to live

To me she surpassed all of the others

She still had so much love left to give!

[4] O:

I know what to do, I know what I heard

To hades I go, to the underworld

[5] H:

Mortal fool you stand in my domain

Nothing that you do here can keep you safe

Tell me why you come here, don’t you waste my time

Since no one who has come here leaves alive

[5] O:

I come for someone dear to me

The only one I can love

You must understand you see

That’s why I came from above

[5] H:

Well hurry up boy

You have my attention

Well hurry up boy

Or you’ll be taught your lesson

[5] H:

You may go, take her too

Here she is, beside you

Take the stairs, over there

I wish you well on your mission

But only on one condition

[5] O:

What do you ask of me?

It will be done

[5] H:

I’ll only let you take her, if my terms are heard

If you take the stairs with her,her safety is assured

If you turn your head to her, even just a glance

She will vanish yet again, but no second chance

She will stay with me again, never to depart

You will suffer painfully, up with your broken heart

Give me my answer…

[6] O:

I shall agree

[6] H:

Now, Leave this place

My boy, Make haste

[6] O:

I’m sorry. Forgive me

I failed you, Completely

Someone, please anyone, hear me

Hear me...

Please...

[7] A:

I am here, and I hear you

I have seen all you’ve done

You did your best to help her

But now she is gone

I’ll offer you some pity

I think you will comply

Leave this world around you

And join me in the sky

You will see her laughing

In the stars above

I can see her gratitude

For your undying love

There is nothing for you

You said that yourself

So come with me

I think you need some help

[7] O:

Apollo please! Show me pity!

I have placed myself farther than my eyes can see

I agree

Chris Van Sickle:

So, What did you think?

Michael:

I think I learned a lesson

Chris Van Sickle:

Well, thats good. And what was that lesson?

Michael:

It was that I…

Chris Van Sickle:

You don’t need to answer that. See, all I am is a figment of your subconscious acting as a way of telling you things that you don’t know you know, and therefore I already know everything you know, and things you don’t know you know. You know what I mean?

Michael:

I guess I do. So, since you are just in my head, does that mean I can call you Chris now?

Chris Van Sickle:

No. It doesn't

Michael:

V to the Sickle?

Chris Van Sickle:

No

Michael:

The Sickler?

Chris Van Sickle:

What? No. Stay focused. Now, think hard, and once you are done with realizing how all of this is similar to what's going on for you, you may want to wake up, and give someone special a call. No really wake up. Wake up. Wake up!

Mother:

Wake up! Michael, it’s almost 1 PM, you need to wake up

Michael:

Fine! fine. Just get out. I have to do something
