ALICE
Stop, stop, stop
The lies are all half-spoken
Half-lies spoken all the time
LIZZIE
But if you close your eyes you'll see
My golden pear, you hide a key
That can lock a secret in and never tell
The fruit of sin weighed on the bough
Somebody came in and cut them down
Now they've fallen to the ground with no farewell
Will you lie here for me
With your lips silently?
Will you bite through the skin
To the sweet truth within?
Will you rest for a while?
Let me bring back your smile
Will you lie here for me?
Will you stay?
ALICE
The pear is frightened of the rose
For now your thorns are all she knows
And she's seen the pain
That comes with your displeasure
And though the prick is most unkind
You think it leaves no trace behind
But it leaves a drop of blood
Upon the measure
LIZZIE
Will you lie here for me
With your lips silently?
Will you bite through the skin
To the sweet truth within?
Will you bite through the skin
To the sweet truth within?
Will you rest for a while?
Let me bring back your smile
Will you lie here for me?
Here for me
Are you?
Will you
Stay?
Stay
Will you?
What are you going to tell them?
ALICE (spoken)
The truth
LIZZIE (spoken)
The truth? I want to know the truth
ALICE (spoken)
I saw you.
I saw miss Lizzie Borden burn that dress!
