For once I don't really know what to think.. I can't handle things at home when I'm on the other side of the continent. I'm very confused. Everything around me is changing and I am too. Some people see this as a good change and others see it as a not so good one or they just don't see it at all. I feel helpless. I feel useless. I don't understand. But the good thing in all this is- I'm not depressed- I will not let myself sink back into depression... it's like a disease.
We had costume parade today- Howard ok-ed all of our hard work- I'm so proud ... now we just have some minor adjustments.
Yesterday I sang in musical theater rep--- "Come to your senses" from Tick Tick...BOOM! by Jonathan Larson... -Paul say it's one of my best pieces and fits me like a glove.. the class agreed so I'm keeping it for auditions.
"You're on the air...
I'm underground.
Signals fading- can't be found.
I finally open up,
for you I would do anything
but you've turned off the volume just when I've begun to sing.
Come to your senses
defenses are not the way to go
and you know or at least you knew
everything's strange
you've changed and I don't know what to do to get through
I don't know what to do.
I have to laugh
we sure put on a show.
Love is passe in this day in age
how can we expect it to grow?
you as the knight
me as the queen
all i've got tonight
is static on a screen.
Come to your senses
the fences inside are not for real
if we feel as we did and i do
can't you recall how this all began
it was only you and me
it was only me and you...
But now the air is filled with confusion
we've replaced care with illusion.
It's cool to be cold.
Nothing lasts anymore.
Love becomes disposable
this is the shape of things
we can not ignore!
Come to your senses suspense is fine,
if your just an empty image emanating
out of a screen.
Baby be real you can feel again
you don't need a music box melody to know what I mean.
Look in my eyes
what do you see?
Deep in my sighs,
listen to me!
Let the music commense from inside!
Not only one sense but use all five!
Come to your senses!
Come to your senses!
Come to your senses, baby-
Come back alive!"
Leave me something to look at.
