Should Have Known Better (Needlephobia)
Act 1: Scene 7
Setting: The stage will have some weird sy-fy dream scene with spinning tops and hallucinations happening during the following part:
JONATHAN blinks awake once again. He sees PATRICK. PATRICK and JONATHAN both lock eyes. They scream.
SIDNEY
HOW FAR WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GO
WHAT WOULD YOU DO,
WHAT CRIMES WOULD YOU COMMIT,
WHAT MORALS WOULD YOU COMPROMISE?
HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO,
WHEN ALL ELSE IS GIVEN UP!
JONATHAN
YOU'VE GIVEN ME, NOWHERE TO GO.
YEAH, YOU FINALLY HAVE CONTROL.
AND IF THERE'S A CURE,
I DON'T WANNA KNOW.
'CAUSE THIS POISON IN ME,
SO INTOXICATING.
I WAS RIGHT WHEN I THOUGHT
YOU WOULD BE BACK FOR MY HEAD.
KEEP ON TELLING MYSELF THAT IT'S ALRIGHT.
BUT NOW I'M BACK 'CAUSE
I CAN'T GET THIS TASTE OUT OF MY MOUTH,
AND I DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY TO ESCAPE,
FOR I KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES ALL TOO WELL.
LINDSAY
HOW FAR WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GO
WHAT WOULD YOU DO,
WHAT CRIMES WOULD YOU COMMIT,
WHAT MORALS WOULD YOU COMPROMISE?
HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO,
WHEN ALL ELSE IS GIVEN UP!
YOU SUCK ME IN AND SPIT ME OUT,
I CANNOT CONTROL THE FEELING.
POISON AS KISSES FROM THE MOUTH,
THAT LEAVES ME SO ADDICTED.
PATRICK
YEAH, THAT'S ME, NOWHERE TO GO.
I HAVE GIVEN UP CONTROL.
I’M STUCK WITH THE ONE THAT KILLS ME.
PATRICK and JONATHAN
ALWAYS KNOWING THAT NOTHING'S ALRIGHT!
PATRICK
YOU SUCK ME IN AND SPIT ME OUT,
I CANNOT CONTROL THE FEELING.
POISON AS KISSES FROM THE MOUTH,
THAT LEAVE ME SO ADDICTED.
I LET YOU IN, YOU KNOCK ME OUT,
NO AIR THAT'S LEFT FOR BREATHING.
POISON AS KISSES FROM THE MOUTH,
THAT LEAVE ME SO ADDICTED.
LINDSAY and SIDNEY
HOW FAR WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GO
WHAT WOULD YOU DO,
WHAT CRIMES WOULD YOU COMMIT,
WHAT MORALS WOULD YOU COMPROMISE?
HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO,
WHEN ALL ELSE IS GIVEN UP!
YEAH YOU'RE A PART OF ME,
A PART I CANNOT LET GO.
YOUR LOVE'S SO POISONING.
GET DOWN, IS THIS A DREAM?
IS THERE NO WAY TO WAKE UP?
JONATHAN
WHEN I LOOKED UP YOU
WERE THE ONLY ONE AROUND.
I COULDN'T MOVE AND
SO YOU PICKED ME OFF THE GROUND.
I STAY ADDICTED TO THE POISON
THAT I HATE.
ADDICTED TO THE POISON
THAT I DAMN WELL HATE.
PATRICK
YOU SUCK ME IN AND SPIT ME OUT,
I CANNOT CONTROL THE FEELING.
POISON AS KISSES FROM THE MOUTH,
THAT LEAVE ME SO ADDICTED.
JONATHAN and PATRICK
I LET YOU IN, YOU KNOCK ME OUT,
NO AIR IS LEFT FOR BREATHING.
POISON AS KISSES FROM THE MOUTH,
THAT LEAVE ME SO ADDICTED.
THAT LEAVE ME SO ADDICTED.
(Exit ALL on stage.)
