Movement 1

Hillary: The art of this page is something other
Its not in this school like my mother
Art by my pen is the happiness in my head
Nothing can bring me down, not even lead

The art of my life is this world
Outside these shackled halls of the unfurled
A world governed by my love
To each and all I give my dove

To my best friend Angela, I give a dove of good
Angela: Oh Hillary, I knew you would
Hillary: Let's go out to see, to enjoy our life
Angela: Nothing can go wrong
Both: Only right

Movement 2

Hillary: My mom and dad have gone away
On a date, with each other
I hope their life is like mine
I hope their life is wonderful

Going out and seeing the world
What a beautiful world!

My mom and dad have gone away
On a date to a different world
Their life was not like mine
Their life was not wonderful

It ended with their choosing
A fatal choice that they made
They didn't really say it to me
But to them, I'll say goodbye
Goodbye

Movement 3

Where has my life gone?
Everything seems to have never been drawn
Nobody knows but me
Nobody must ask, so let it be!

Angela: What has happened to you Hillary?
Is it something to do with me?
You've been mute all day
Pushing everybody out of the way!

Hillary: Nothing is wrong
Angela: Oh please, you can't lie worse!
Hillary: I want to be left alone
Angela: You'll never get better
Hillary: Dammit! Leave me alone!

Leave me alone, Angela
Leave me alone
Leave me like my parents left me
No one needs me
No one wants me
Don't bother trying
You'll leave and hurt me

Movement 4

Girl: Did you see that new boy?
Boy: No I didn't
Girl: I saw him walk in
Oh! he's so handsome

Boy: Is that him?
Girl: Oh yes, yes it is

Bishop: Hello, pretty one
I don't know your name
Please tell me yours

I am not a lurker of the night
I am not lusting for your body
I am just a new friend on this block
I am called Bishop, and you can trust that

Hillary: I don't know anyone anymore
You're just the same
Only a six letter name
Why gain a name when I have lost so many others?

Bishop: Alas, I'm so sorry
When you need my guiding hand
I'll lead you across the land
Farewell

She's so pretty and beautiful
Yet her soul is far from full
Angela: I wish I knew what happened
If its something I did to make us end

Movement 5

Movement 6

Bishop: Hello pretty one
Our faces meet again
You're wondering why I'm bothering you
I know for sure

You don't talk to me
You hardly look at me
I can't give you one good deed
That you'll find nice

Hillary: I'm sorry, my life is down
All I do is roll on the ground
I meant no ill to you
My name is Hillary not pretty one

Bishop: Hello, greetings, salutations
Whatever fits your fancy
I need some help with schoolwork
Care to help me out?

I am curious
curious to know
Why you act so alone
Shattered social ties?

Hillary: I don't act
Act alone
Why do you ask such
As I speak to you?

Bishop: Sorry, my dear friend
I did not know
But to your best friend
You act as if we're all alone

Hillary: In the end
We are by ourselves
But never ever lose your life
To tragedy

Bishop: I need to ask about something
I know we've been going fast
Will you take a walk with me?
It won't be very long
But we can enjoy nature
together and forever

Hillary: Okay, we'll go this weekend
After both of us are done with our schoolwork

Movement 7

Angela: Oh, she just tosses me aside
Tossing me aside
Like a pair of shredded dreams

What got into her?
Do I even want to know
I think so!

I swear its something that I did badly
But we were just having so much fun
She throws me off the next morning
What tipped her off so?

And that new boy
Oh what the hell's his name
She just met him

What did he do
To make Hillary love him
What did he do?

I swear its something that I did badly
But we were just having so much fun
She throws me off the next morning
What tipped her off so?

What makes the man more than me?
Hillary: You're out of line, friend
Angela: Friend? Am I a friend?
Hillary: Not now you're not
Angela: A friend to you is an enemy through halls of time

Hillary: My life was fine until you came along
Angela: It was fine just days ago
Hillary: Times change, Angela, grow with it
Angela: No you changed, changed, changed, changed!

Hillary: Shut up, I'm missing out on life
Its all over
Angela: Change change change!
Why did she have to change?

Movement 8

Hillary: My mom and dad have gone away
On a date to a different world
Their life was not like mine
Their life was not wonderful

It ended with their choosing
A fatal choice that they made
They didn't really say it to me
But to them, I'll say goodbye
Goodbye

Movement 9

Mother: Hello, sweet child
I'm sorry we had to go
Left you all alone

Hillary: Mother of mine?
Mother: Daughter of mine
I'm sorry we had to flee
Facing lonely nights

But its for the best
For your father and me
We never thought of you
We're so sorry

Hillary: Why did you come back?
Was it just a joke
Or are you just voices in my mind?

Mother: You can choose little child
To let us go or not
But please do one thing
Don't hate everyone else

You can live life with the world
Like we've never gone
And live gloriously past the dusk
Into the dawn

Movement 10

Angela: Why didn't you talk to me?
Why did you remain silent?
Why did you push me away?
I thought I faulted and wronged

Hillary: No my dear friend
You did nothing defiant
It was my own damn fault
I just wanted everybody to be gone

Angela: Do you think that your parents are happy?

Cop: Young ladies
Fine it is out today
Are any of you Hillary?

Your parents were discovered yesterday
Their bodies mangled like a torn hope
We think it was their intention

You cannot live here anymore
You cannot pay for this mortgage
You must come with me to a safer land
Now!

Hillary: Let us get our coats

Movement 11

You cannot scare me anymore
You cannot pay for my satisfaction
You must erase your burn in my soul

We got him my dear friend
Angela: We got him my dear love
Hillary: Let's live together
