Hundred Days - Salt Palace Lyrics

2017 Off-Broadway
Hundred Days the Musical - Salt Palace Lyrics


The song is written by The Bengsons.

JO: (spoken)
Until finally

JO & REGGIE: (spoken)
You reach
The center of the axis
(sung)
Where everything is entirely still

ABIGAIL: (spoken)
Time unfolds around us
An endless salt flat
I see Shaun
His life stretched out from horizon to horizon
Shaun at every age:
At five, at fifteen
At bible camp
As a toddler, riding a dog
In the diner booth, with me
Shaun, we did it
And suspended all around me I see
All the moments of my life

ABIGAIL: (spoken)
I see myself in the moment before everything changed
I see my mother

JO & REGGIE:
I see my mother

ABIGAIL: (spoken)
Collapsed on the floor
Too sick to move
And I see my father

JO & REGGIE:
I see my father

ABIGAIL: (spoken)
And his madness
And I see the dead
I see the dead, I see my dead

So I look to the future
But I see my face become my mother's

ALL except ABIGAIL:
As the storm comes
I see Shaun fall
As the ice melts
Collapsed on the floor
As the wars come
Too sick to move
While we sleep
I see him mad
The march is over
I see him lost
The vigil ended
And I can’t stop it
The oceans rise
I can't I can't I can’t
And swallow deep

ALL:
The world goes mad
And we go mad
And it's too late now
It's too late
And I see the ruins in front of me
All the beauty we were given
We didn't stop it
We didn't stop anything
We lose everything good

ABIGAIL:
Every fifteen-year-old girl
Every family
Every home

Vows
My Skin Is Made of a Thousand Doors
I Will Wait for You
Marching in the Wrong Parade
Lie Next to Me
The Drop
Creature
Lift Me
The Ramp
Hundred Days
The Years Go By
Salt Palace
Three Legged Dog
The Long Goodbye
Bells
What Else Can We Do?
