Ulysses Dies At Dawn Broken Horses - The Mechanisms

A composer's demo for our new show Thy Sinful House. Lyrics by Mel Hornyak and music by Elliot Valentine.

ATREUS:
THYESTES SLEEPS IN 
THE YOUNG ONE'S AWAKE
 THE OLD ONE IS GRUMPY 
THE YOUNG ONE WANTS CAKE! 
THE OLD ONE BURNS TOAST 
WHILE SHE PLAYS ON HER PHONE. 
I HAVE TO LEAVE MY OWN HOUSE 
SO THEY'LL LEAVE ME ALONE! 

EACH MORNING I DRIVE TO TARGET 
AND BUY THREE INDIVIDUAL EGGS 
TO MAKE THEM SOMETHING WARM TO EAT. 
THE YOUNG ONE IS ALLERGIC 
SO SHE NEVER EATS HERS. 
I CUT IT UP SMALL FOR THE PARAKEET. 

ALONE IN THE CAR TO TARGET 
I SING ALONG WITH THE RADIO
BUT THE ONLY STATION OUT HERE IS CLASSICAL OPERA.
I DRIVE AROUND IN CIRCLES
I TOUR THE CUL DE SACS 
I IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, WAITING TO DROP THE 

MOTHER AT WORK 
THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL 
SO FOR EIGHT GREAT HOURS 
I CAN DRINK BY THE POOL 
TILL THEY GET BACK AGAIN. 
THEY'LL GET BACK AGAIN. 
I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN, 
BUT THEY'LL GO BACK AGAIN, 
THEY HAVE TO! 
BACK TO THEIR LIVES 
BACK TO THEIR LEASE 
BACK TO MY POOL 
BACK TO MY PEACE 
THE QUIET I EARNED 
THE SUCCOR I GIVE 
MUST I HAVE A SISTER AS LONG AS I LIVE?

EACH MORNING I DRIVE TO TARGET 
AND BUY ONE LITTLE PINCH OF CAYENNE 
TO LACE THE OLDER ONE'S EGG WITH SPICE. 
THEY SELL EVERYTHING AT TARGET 
LIKE PEACE… 
AND QUIET… 
AND ARSENIC. 
ISN'T THAT NICE? 
ISN'T THAT NICE? 

Target (Thy Sinful House demo)

A demo for our new show Thy Sinful House. Vocals by Lara Priya Sachdeva (Atreus) and Lana Gaige (Thyestes.) Lyrics by Mel Hornyak and music by Elliot Valentine.

Lyrics:
THYESTES
I want to see my children! Where are they?

ATREUS forcibly sits her down, and tucks a napkin into her shirt.

ATREUS
YOUR KIDS ARE RIGHT HERE!
NO NEED FOR ALARM.
STAY FOR DESSERT, EAT A COUPLE MORE COURSES!
THEY'RE IN YOUR EMBRACE.
THEY WON'T COME TO HARM.
AT LEAST, NOTHING WORSE FOR YOUR KIDS THAN DIVORCE IS!

HAVE ANOTHER DRINK, THYESTES!
HAVE ANOTHER ROLL.
YOU’LL HAVE FAMILY BONDING
UNTIL YOU’RE QUITE FULL.
HAVE A LITTLE BREAD, THYESTES!
DRINK A LITTLE WINE.
AS YOU MADE CLEAR,
THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE:
WHAT’S MINE IS YOURS
AND WHAT’S YOURS MUST BE MINE.

THYESTES
What have you done with them? 

ATREUS
YOUR KIDS ARE QUITE SAFE.
THEY'RE ALWAYS WITH YOU.
INSIDE YOUR HEART - WELL, A LITTLE BELOW. 
THEY WON'T LEAVE YOUR SIGHT
ONCE DINNER IS THROUGH.
YOU’RE THE ONE KIND OF MOTHER THEY'LL NEVER OUTGROW.

HAVE ANOTHER DRINK, THYESTES!
TAKE A LITTLE REST!
I MADE THIS MYSELF
AND IT’S MADE FROM THE BEST.
HAVE ANOTHER SWEET, THYESTES.
EAT ANOTHER CAKE!
IF THEY DON’T RETURN
THEY WON'T HAVE TO LEARN
THAT WHAT FAMILY GIVES YOU
IT ALSO WILL TAKE!

THYESTES
Where are they? 

ATREUS
OH, THE LITTLE BRATS ARE FINE!
THEY'RE IN THE BREAD, THE MEAT, THE WINE
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I'M ABLE
TO MAKE THEM JOIN US AT THE TABLE! 
IT’S NOTHING WORSE THAN GIVING THEM A HOUSE WE BUILT ON SIN!
(Thyestes starts gagging)
I HOPE THEY TASTE WORSE COMING OUT
THAN THEY DID GOING IN!

(Thyestes starts choking)

ATREUS
HAVE ANOTHER DRINK, THYESTES!
(she spills the wine onto the floor)
HAVE ANOTHER BITE!
(she tips the tray of meat off the table)
THEY WON'T TASTE GOOD TOMORROW
SO DON’T WASTE A SCRAP TONIGHT!
(she pushes the table over, chases Thyestes down, and starts pouring wine on her)
HAVE ANOTHER PLATE, THYESTES!
[DON’T KNIT YOUR PRETTY BROW!]
YOUR KIDS ARE PROTECTED!
YOU’RE ALWAYS CONNECTED!
TELL ME, THYESTES-- 
(Opening a cloche. Inside are TANTALUS and PLISTHENES' heads.)
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THEM NOW? 

THYESTES
I recognize my sister.

Window Seat

All my antics and my gibberish 
Put a damper on my sentences; 
I'm a [cuddlefish/cuttlefish] 
Trying to cover up my incompetence. 
Maybe your fancy just isn't ticklish— 
Maybe your heart belongs to another fish— 
But on your part that'd be foolish. 
Baby, I think you ought to think through this. 

The sea is big, big, big, 
And it's full of scary things! 
Like great white sharks, 
And colossal squid! 
And I'm worried about you... 
I don't want you to get hurt. 
I don’t want you to get hurt... 
I don’t want you to get hurt. 

If you love something 
(So they say) 
You should set it free. 
But I disagree— 
'Cause I can safely say that 
Catching and releasing 
Isn't what I'd want for me. 

I know I know better than you do 
What is best for you to do— 
Can't you see the logic there? 
It's superlogical. 
My perspective is an outside one, 
And that's really saying something 
'Cause we don't have mirrors 
And since we're under the water, 
There isn't a surface 
For you to see your reflection in... 
Not that you don't look nice! 
(In fact, how wonderful you look 
Is exactly what the problem is....) 

The sea is big, big, big, 
And it's full of scary things! 
Like great white sharks, 
And colossal squid! 
And I'm worried about you... 
I don't want you to get hurt. 
I don’t want you to get hurt... 
I don’t want you to get hurt. 

It guts me every time 
I hear you're frequenting 
Such sketchy dives. 
It's not like it's a crime, 
But what if you get caught by a scuba diver 
Just like Nemo and I can't find you? 

Still I'd never cease my quest for you— 
What else would there be for me to do? 
Sure, there are plenty of fishes in the ocean, 
But not one of them could ever get a hook in my devotion. 
So my love for you supports recent scholarly publications 
Reporting that fish have a greater capacity for memory 
Than was previously believed, 
And I will miss you for the rest of my life.

Stephan Nance — Cuddlefish

No one can see
My bravery;
I stomp on humdrum ground,
I navigate mundane terrain.
But all the same,
An ancient flame
Ignites a fervency that
Surges into every vein.

Dash, jump, climb, crawl!
Gotta get out, gotta get out—
Dart, dive, fly, tumble!
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get you out, out, out!

In a previous life
I surely
Swept you off your feet
And carried you away
From the choking ash
And scorching heat,
To begin anew
Beyond the ruins of Pompeii
And to live
To see another sunny day.

On every list
Of things to do,
An unchecked box reminds me
That the task of saving you
Remains undone
And unbegun
And unfulfillable 
Until the day we need to run
Until the day we need to run
We need to run—

Dash, jump, climb, crawl!
Gotta get out, gotta get out—
Dart, dive, fly, tumble!
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get you out, out, out!

In a previous life
I surely
Swept you off your feet
And carried you away
From the choking ash
And scorching heat,
To begin anew
Beyond the ruins of Pompeii
And to live
To see another sunny day.

From form to form,
From place to place,
From birth to birth,
From death to death,
From earth to outer space—
From Plague and flood,
From fire and blight,
From each catastrophe
That threatens to eclipse your light—

Dash, jump, climb, crawl!
Gotta get out, gotta get out—
Dart, dive, fly, tumble!
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get you out, out, out!

To begin anew
Beyond the ruins of Pompeii
And to live
To see another sunny day.
