Abraham [spoken]: He’s gone, Constance

Constance: I know. And I can’t just make another one of him, like you did

[Sung] Lost in time

We are lost in time

Swallowed by the seconds

Missing in the minutes

Our hours are devoured by the dials

So many ways, so many other paths to take

Damn you, Abraham, damn you!

How can a man with such vision be so short sighted?

All I needed was time

Just time

Just-

Abraham [spoken]: Constance-

Constance: Get away from me!

[Sung] Time can take me

Bend and break the shape you gave me

I don’t care

Shake and shatter

Beat and batter

All that matters lying there

Gone

Tomorrow isn’t waiting tonight

Tomorrow’s full of hatred and spite

How can you love with such passion

And kill your compassion just the same?

Lock and leave me

Don’t deceive me

Keep your lies, pretend you care

All you ever thought of were the things you wanted and you dared

To claim that I betrayed you

That I spurned your needs

Strange, how can I save you if I’m drowning in your pleas?

Blame my actions if you must, to keep your conscience clean

Clockwork, I can be clockwork

If you need clockwork, that’s what I’ll be

Clockwork, nothing but clockwork

Cold-hearted clockwork, just a machine

I’m not like you

And that’s fine by me

Constant and static

Part automatic

Mostly unseen

If that’s all you see

Abraham [spoken]: Constance, you are so much more than that

Constance: Don’t

[Sung] Hands for praying

Lips for saying

Legs for straying, told to stay

All you gave me, made to save you

Just a slave to have your way

How am I supposed to be what I’m not?

If I can move why sit on the spot?

What am I meant to be but this?

You ask me to dismiss all I know

Call me Constance and demand that I change

Build a heart’s desires and regret how it behaves

Let me love you and decide it’s not the kind you crave

(Villagers: Clockwork, clockwork)

Constance: Clockwork, I can be clockwork

If you need clockwork, that’s what I’ll be

Clockwork, nothing but clockwork

Cold-hearted clockwork, just a machine

Not like you

Well that’s fine by me

Constant and static

Part automatic

Mostly unseen

Villager [spoken]: Abraham, open this door!

Constance [sung]: A story of my own

Abraham: Constance-

Constance: A tale that I don’t know

Abraham: What’s happening?

Constance: A picture I’m a part of

(Villagers: Oddity!)

Abraham [spoken]: Constance, no!

Constance: Move out of my way Abraham, you can’t keep me anymore!

You talk about love. That’s love! Brave, kind, selfless!

[Sung] Not like you, let them come for me

I’m the girl who took on the world

Once upon a-

*Gunshot*
