Just speak from the heart —be honest.
You can do it!
You’ve cast a spell on me
Not literally, obviously
But I feel, in summary
You and me
Are meant to be
Cause you put a hex on me
You didn’t do it to me, directly
I’m—I’m not blaming you specifically
Just that metaphorically
Shit... Can someone help me?
It’s okay
Okay, what are some of the things you love about her?
Hecate, with you
There’s so much to love
Oh, I’m not saying you’re fat
You did not just say that!
Shit…time to move on.
Tell her something she doesn’t know about herself.
Mhmm.
Oh Katie, to me
You know you... enrapture? (Ooh, good word!)
Is it your pallid skin?
Your lips are so thin
Your love of...books?
Asterion
I have but one thought
Why is it that you seem so distraught?
Are you saying you’re in love with me?
You couldn’t possibly
Really?
Oh, you're doin’ great! Give it another go.
You’ve cast a spell on me
It’s a feeling that’s killing me
But let’s say, categorically
Oh Katie
It's just you and me
I cannot hide
From my reality
I can’t help but think
It’s best that you forget me
I feel so little joy
My wont is to destroy
You will come to resent me
I’m truly fond of you
Yet now, it appears that you love me?
How can you be so sure?
What is my allure?
Tears are near certain
I could never make you cry.
It’s not my tears I fear. What if I lose you?
You couldn’t! Oh, I feel so powerless!
Let me be crystal clear
Do you believe this love of yours shall persevere?
Despite all it will face, it won’t disappear?
My virtues are few
And if we see this through
The pain that we share may be too severe
Oh, of course, she sings my song better than I do. Help me!
Stand back
There’s nothing to see
Everyone move along
It’s a car crash of a song
But you’re wrong
Make no apology
See? she hasn’t disappeared
She is standing right here
I know when I stand next to you
I don’t feel like such a freak
I know you feel that way, too
You’re not like other gods
My love, what are the odds
That we’re here?
Us outsiders should cheer that we found each other!
Why didn’t you open with that?
Oh, was that good?
Kate, will you dance with me?
I…
Oh, never mind!
You know, this isn’t the first time I've pretended to dance with you!
Ha ha ha! Yes!
Twirl!
Who thought a bull
Could live under a shell?
I don’t need your answer
You know me too well
This love is my truth
And I know in my soul
That the magic in here
Is beyond our control
It’s true, there’s a part of me
That yearns for more
If I had my pick
It’d be you I adore
Not all is written
Powers greater than fate
Give meaning to what the world puts on our plate
Yet, even so, this could all go astray
I wouldn’t have it any other way!
He’s bared his soul
So, what’s the debate?
Will you let him in
Before it’s too late?
I... cannot do this, Asterion. The pain you feel now is nothing compared to what would come.
But the pain I feel now... Kate, it’s killing me!
I can take it away. You need only say the word.
Do it.
Wait!
I have to do this, Grace! I want this!
I call on the heralds
Of an ancient darkness
To guide this sweet creature
Off this treacherous road
In all of creation
Love is most leaden
I beg of the cosmos
To lighten his load
For he may love
But will not be in love
Your love was never a lie (For he may love but will not be in love)
It is simply no longer true
And I know, in my heart (For he may love but will not be in love)
I am rescuing you
The Arrow of Eros
I force to undo
I put a spell on you
