Written Lyrics

Here is a song I wrote a while back, and thought it could relate to Havisham's memory and feelings towards 'The Man,' and how he jilted her.

'Heartache is the only word I can think of right now.'

Verse 1.

Heartache,
It’s only heartache.
Surely it will disappear soon?

Deceit,
It’s only deceit
Surely it will go away soon?

Your lies,
It’s only another one of your big lies.
Another notch on your bed, another tell tale to go to your head.

Chorus.

Shield from my blows, I’ll only send you more,
As my heart decays, rusts and pours –
Pain from one valve and rage from another.
Take it out, watch it bleed.
And frame it on the wall so you’ll remember me.

Don’t ask me to forgive
You shudda done that sooner.

Verse 2.

Dying,
I’m only dying.
From the outside and forever in.

Sickness,
It’s just a silly phase.
Bringing me down further and further,

My pain,
Escalading pain.
Another tick towards my name, another thing to feel to the end.

Chorus.

Shield from my blows but I’ll send you more,
As my heart decays, rusts and pours –
Pain from one valve and rage from another.
Take it out, watch it bleed.
And frame it on the wall so you’ll remember me.
Don’t ask me to forget
It couldn’t happen any sooner.

Verse 3.

Heartache,
It’s only heartache.
I promise it will disappear soon.

Deceit,
It’s only deceit
I promise it will go away soon.

Your lies,
It’s only another one of your big lies.
Another notch on your bed, another tell tale that’s gone to your head.

'Cemetery Gates' Lyrcis

Here are some lyrics that made me think of Havisham, from a song named 'Cemetery Gates' by a band named Pantera:

"The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eye
It's nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see Now is your face,

Well I guess You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
All alone as the Memories now unfold."

The lyrics could be related to Havisham looking at herself in the past as a completely different person outside of her own body.

HK sweeney

Hi all,

with regard aesthetic i've got friends in a HK production of sweeney todd, the pictures i thought below serve as a good inspiration for that dark, victorian gothic feel. x

The Rondo

Hi everyone,
Just thought id put this up so we can have a look at the stage also have a look at the listings, theres a piece called 'moonfleet' which could be interesting to see also 'Edgar Allen Poe is dead' as we used him as a reference would be good to see however its on the 17thg so obviously clashes with Medea but good to just start looking now.
