Holed Bulletproof (A Backstory of the Red Queen in "Alice in Wonderland")

SCENE 10 -Beyond Me-

Setting: inside the room pero parang may balcony. May space sa baba para sa pwesto ni Guard para sa duet.

(light's on)

(RQ enters followed by Guard) (RQ stop walking) Talk to Guard but facing forward)

RQ: I will be in my room and I wish to not have any distractions... (malungkot ang boses)

Guard: Yes, Your Highness. (pause) I will just be outside (pause) whenever you need m.. someone.

RQ: (nod and then enter)

(Guard exit)

(diretso si RQ sa room.. mapapaupo saglit. Hinga ng malalim. Tatayo and pupunta sa parang balcony) (music starts)

"Beyond Me" – Red Queen

Lyrics: ahRGhie

Music: James Tolero

People say I am strong, they say I am heartless

But they don't know what's wrong, that my heart is in pieces.

People say I'm never broken, there is nothing to worry

But they don't know that I am beaten, I need someone beside me.

(lalabas si Guard sa may side at papanoorin si RQ sa pagkanta pero as much as possible, para syang nagtatago pero syempre dapat pogi pa din. lol)

(sa last chorus, kakanta din sa Guard sa part nya)

Chorus:

When will anyone try to look beyond the dark side of me

When everyone wants to see is the "me" that they expect me to be.

(I am here looking beyond the dark side of you

And all I see is the "you", the you that no one knew)

I am tired putting up this wall around me

And try to look strong as if nothing frets me

I am tired of being alone and no one beside me

When all I want is someone... anyone...

To try to look beyond the dark side of me...

(Repeat Chorus)

Coda:

When will anyone try to look beyond the dark side of me?

Will somebody please try to look beyond the dark side of me?

(I am here looking beyond the dark side of you...

Can you please at least look at me too?)

(mag dim ang lights and then dahan dahang mag fade and music kasabay ng lights)

-LIGHT's OFF-
