☞ "Nothing" to be sung by the characters of Dr. Stockill, Asylum Superintendent, and Emily, his patient zero, in my new musical The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, here performed by myself in both roles. I originally recorded these "Behind the Musical" songs as a tool to teach the eventual real actors what to do. I finally decided to share my secrets and release these recordings to you so that we can all go on this journey together, and bring this epic, empowering musical to the stage as a family:). ☞ For complete lyrics, turn on "Captions" for the video as I've taken great pains to type them in and line them up for you and drank a vat of Earl Grey in the process, or see them below.☕️ ☞ But first!

STOCKILL: I look at them… I look at them and I feel nothing… I hear them scream… I hear them scream and I feel nothing… I watch them bleed… I watch them bleed and I feel nothing… Nothing…nothing…nothing… For they deserve it. I hold them down… I hold them down and I feel nothing… I stop their mouths… I stop their mouths and I feel…nothing… I see them die… I make them die and I feel nothing… Nothing…nothing…nothing… For they deserve it. DR. STOCKILL: I don’t know why… EMILY: I don’t know why… DR. STOCKILL: I don’t know why I haven’t killed her… EMILY: I don’t know why he hasn’t killed me… DR. STOCKILL: There is a voice… EMILY: There is a voice… DR. STOCKILL: …inside me telling me I should. EMILY: …telling me my time is at its end. DR. STOCKILL: She’s just the same… EMILY: I’m just the same… DR. STOCKILL: She’s just the same… DR. STOCKILL & EMILY: …as all the others. EMILY: Others…I cannot leave them… DR. STOCKILL: She’s stronger now… EMILY: Because of them… DR. STOCKILL: She’s stronger now… EMILY: I’m stronger now than when I came! DR. STOCKILL: …than when she came! DR. STOCKILL: My God…it sickens me to touch her… EMILY: If only I could get my hands free… DR. STOCKILL: And yet, my pulse, it quickens as I do… EMILY: If only I could move… DR. STOCKILL: Let’s play our game… EMILY: I’d try to run… DR. STOCKILL: Where would you go? EMILY: I’d tell someone… DR. STOCKILL: Who do you know? Come now, you’re cleverer than that; I’d find you in five seconds flat. EMILY: I’d use the key… DR. STOCKILL: How would you get it? EMILY: Someday you’ll see… DR. STOCKILL: Is that a threat? There now, she’s finally closed her eyes… I wonder why she never cries… There’s something keeping her alive… Something that I can’t bottle up… She should be dead by now With everything I’ve done to her. I’ve given her the strongest dose… Of all these whores she’s had the most… She should be underneath the ground, But she’s alive… I am the savior of this world… For this I’ve killed a thousand girls… But every time I watch one die I’m thinking only of the first one… The first one…the first one… The first one…the first one… The first one…the first one… The first one…the first one… She is the closest thing I have to a companion… Yet… I look at her… I look at her and I feel… Nothing. ********************************* Music & lyrics by Emilie Autumn Performed, recorded, & produced by Emilie Autumn in the Asylum ********************************* 🐀 WEBSITE / BLOG ‣ https://www.emilieautumn.com 🐀 SHOP ‣ https://www.asylumemporium.com 🐀 INSTAGRAM ‣ https://instagram.com/emilieautumnofficial 🐀 YOUTUBE ‣ https://bit.ly/3tqrDqL 🐀 SPOTIFY ‣ https://spoti.fi/38rXlML 🐀 APPLE MUSIC ‣ https://apple.co/3MWRJcA MY BOOKS: 📖 The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls: https://amzn.to/3PHKg2R 📖 The Gown - A Short Story (nice and creepy): https://amzn.to/3lVodrA 📖 My favorite writing journal (I have 10 going at once): https://amzn.to/3PQxHlA 📖 Where I sketch out my songs: https://amzn.to/3lQrEjl 📖 How I compose: https://amzn.to/3wVivw8 📖 For when you can't sleep: https://amzn.to/3LYvhyl For Professional Contacts: help@emilieautumn.com #emilieautumn #theasylumforwaywardvictoriangirls #asylummusical
