#195 lyrics taken from the musical “ Venice. ”

If you dream of peace, follow us.

If you dream of freedom, follow us.

I am your lifeline.

Keep it quiet, I need you to listen.

The military stole my life.

If you see something, say something.

Everyone that could up and disappeared.

This was the story I needed to tell.

Separate, we are powerless, but together we can rise.

Can you feel me coming?

This is my last letter, after all of these years writing to you, I'll finally be home.

Tonight, we can finally finish what they tried.

My father promised me, and my father never lied.

I can't lose her.

I am humbled in your presence.

We can be one.

We'll take the nation back now that you are here.

I am alone, my own resistance.

One time fool me and it's shame on you. Two times fool me and it's shame on me.

I'm never foolish and you're never fooling me.

Damned if I live this life waiting on the sidelines.

I'll show who the ruler is.

I'll be the last man standing when the world collapses.

When you're the oldest, it shouldn't be a battle.

She's an illusion.

The always obedient dog by your side has the worst bite.

I have waited all these years for your face to reappear.

Could you imagine that that just could happen?

Let this one shared dream forever grow.

Dreams invite us to places we never go.

We can make a better home.

Tell me you'll stay.

We could be great.

The world is at war but thiscity doesnt have to be.

We could be decent! And generous! Show the kids ahead of us we  can stand as one.

Don't let hatred blind us.

Nothing lasts forever, or so I'm told.

Two worlds collide and fill his soul with wisdom.

We must be steadfast and vigilant.

Stand up for the innocent.

A blink of the eye, and well, we all were dead.

Am I strong enough to hold the weight of all their souls?

My midnight hours never seemed this islent.

Was our fate determined by that night?

All that's wrong could nto be right.

From what I know the road's still golden.

I know I believe in you.

The city is too quiet tonight.

I can play tricks and be so damn wicked.

I've been married five years, my dear.

I swear I thought we were a great pair.

Didn't you hear? My brother's got a new wife.

Baby, come here, don't I get a kiss from you?

The minute I get home I got to hear you whine!

Oh, like you're so refined?

I need you to be kind.

I'm feeling hardly a man.

All these years spent lying, fighting, trying not to cry.

Give me one more reason not to leave and say goodbye.

I need a change tonight.

I never thought the road was golden, but I want to believe in you.

There are many different weapons in this game called war.

There's no fearing death if you never get old.

She grew up being told that she was worthless.

This shit is alarming.

Have you ever seen anything like me?

I haunt your dreams.

Oh, just one kiss, you can't resist.

Now be a good boy tonight.

I can see the sunrise when I close my eyes.

I can feel the morning and I know the dawn is coming.

As a kid you have a dream and it seems like nothing can come between what  you dream and what you're stuck in.

Can you conquer all your fears?

Look at me the way I look at her.

When they look at me now they'll see her.

They don't know just how far I'll go.

My blood trembles with desire.

I feel the dark ahead of the dawn.

They say she'll bring us hope.

Breathe and let go.

I've seen enough for two lifetimes.

Are we all just children playing in our parents clothes?

I would have done anything you asked me to.

Where did I misstep? Where did I lose?

In the morning, you're not beside me. Where did I misstep?

I want to love and be loved.

I've been waiting on that second chance.

Tonight we fucking party.

I know its been a long and brutal road.

Tonight I'm going to lose control.

We're gonna party tonight like it's the first night of the rest of our lives.

I'm gonna set this bitch on fire tonight!

I know we have suffered for far too long.

You never wish war on a people.

Not now, not here--

I don't know where I am.

I remember a party.

I am beholden for this mess, for this distress.

Hold my hand and walk with me.

Hold my hand, and have mercy.

I wish someone else was lying there instead of him.

Has something already determined my fate?

You must be terrified.

Whoa, let me clarify--

Take two steps, take one breath, just accept your own death.

In your final hour, ascend to glory.

Where have you gone, old friend?

Have you left me here waiting to grow up on my own?

I'm in the desert of unfulfilled memories.

If only we hadn't listened to ambitions far beyond our reach.

If only there was a way to take back yesterday, you'd still be here with me.

If only you were a second late.

You never came for me.

This morning I could feel the changes.

All of my moments are fractured behind me.

Why does the silence emulate violence?

If only I had listened to the voices telling me to take it slow.

If only I had known, would I have chosen another road?

If only I could let go.

If only I could be home.

If only I had never wanted for better.

If only I didn't stay up at night and miss you.

If only I was never lonely.

If only I never fell in love with you.

Revenge is on the minds of the masses.

Have we seen the end of our collective dream?

There's nothing that lasts together.

What was white and black is now shades of grey.

Hold on to the hope of a peaceful day.

They've declared war, and what's more, she betrayed you.

The poor girl sat alone under her Sycamore tree.

Breathe, child, breathe.

Get your head up off the pillow.

I dreamed a dream, and so it seems that little girls have fantasies.

We are all the playthings of men in this town.

Men could care less about your fantasy.

Why am I stuck in this lie?

I thought the world had changed, it's the same as it ever was.

This girl's life is changed and I am to blame.

Woke up this morning, saw they clipped your wings.

Now I'm alone and wondering what this means.

Our enemies showed us no mercy and we will show this in return.

Now you're just like them.

Is the world so fucked that you've already given in?

Crumbled are the steps of the dream I stood upon.

Here you are stuck between us and them.

I'm not who I am.

The soul lingers long after you pass.

The world's split between the living and the dead.

All my life they told me boy, when you get older, you can have whatever I like.

I never took a risk.

Now I feel alive tonight.

When I first saw her I smiled as she walked on by.

I thought to myself, I'd love to be her guy.

They said we'd be married and boy, I almost died.

I wanna be great for one instant.

Maybe I can save her life.

Let me have just one moment to shine.

When I was little you told me to grow and be strong.

When I was little you convinced me that I belonged, but you were wrong.

You died in vain.

I wish that I could erase all the feelings of pain.

I'm only half of you, the other half disgrace.

You took their lives in your hands and it was wrong.

You gave up being my mother for what?

It's time to take a stand, it's time to be a man.

You have to understand you were wrong.

Life's not like it appears.

I can stnad tall where you never stood.

I won't take this shit from anyone.

What we've been through, we can't undo.

I know here with you we can see it through.

If you don't kill her we'll both be dead.

Look at how she looks at you.

Do what you have to do to get us back on the road.

I have always loved and believed in you.

You can't trust this man!

I should have known better than to trust his eyes.

That man lies all the time.

I would kill to stop you!

With you I believed in love.

You never loved me, you only used me!

I'm going to tell the whole world your disguise.

She certainly loved you from far away.

She believed that you could be someone great.

She prayed that you'd help to guide the way.

You need to grow up now.

We're not children anymore.

The dead are all around us and they cry.

It's time to grow up now.

We haven't begun to see the sun.

I am the last man standing as the world collapses.

Let's start anew.

The world out there is a shadow of everything that might be right.

Just make believe, that makes belief.
