    How is this not already a musical?? It’s so freaking good!!!!

    God, idk why but when he says, "Like I'll ruin the rhythm of New York City" in _perfect time_ with the drum it's just evokes such a strong feeling within me. It's so easy to get into the mindset that you are imperfect and worthless but the reality is that it's our own self doubt and nothing else.

      It IS real. It is just in development and musical theatre takes a LOOOONG time to develop. Covid didn't help speed up the process, but I promise we are working on it!

    Lyrics if anyone needs them
    I try to live, but it isn't coming easy
    'Cause I don't know how
    The voice within, muffled, buried in the chaos
    Like it can't scream out
    I think in circles like a broken record
    Every thought's identical
    You can't escape, like you're restricted by the pressure
    It's like you're wrapped up in tentacles
    Don't look down, the view is something permanent
    Life might whisper, death likes to shout
    Don't break down the bridge
    Before connecting to
    What might be on the other side
    I wanna figure me out
    Everyday never noticing surroundings
    Always looking down
    In every way, I avoid the city skyline
    Or the looming clouds
    Even trees, how they stand there, strong with purpose
    Telling me I need to grow
    I just see the roots all twisted, strange and tangled
    And that's the only me I know
    Don't look down and focus on what's hidden
    All your roots grow wildly deep underground
    Don't cut down a tree before it lives to see
    What might be on the other side
    I wanna figure me out
    I guess I wanna take a minute
    I wanna pause a thought
    And zoom in on the frame
    I'm just putting nothing in it
    Until the thought is gone
    My frame of mind's the same
    It's like I owe it to myself
    To go achieve understanding
    And leave with some upper hand, so
    I climb back down into the mess
    And I'm scared to death
    This is an SOS
    "Well, Craig, it sounds to me like you're depressed."
    "I see."
    I try to live, but it isn't very easy
    When you don't know how
    "We'll leave it here for now."
    You can't go 'till you know
    Don't look down, the view is something permanent
    Life might whisper, death likes to shout
    Don't break down the bridge
    Before connecting to
    What might be on the other side
    Don't look down and focus on what's hidden
    All your roots grow wildly deep underground
    Don't cut down a tree before it lives to see
    What might be on the other side
    I wanna figure me out
    I try to live, but it isn't very easy
    When you don't know how

    Lyrics (INCLUDING Dialogue at the beginning)
    THERAPIST:
    So, Craig, why are you here?
    CRAIG:
    Sometimes, I sympathize with Salmon.
    THERAPIST:
    Can you elaborate?
    CRAIG:
    Everytime I walk outside of my apartment, it's like trying to walk into an already moving stream
    There's always people. Moving.. quickly in one direction and sometimes, I feel like, if I don't time it just right,
    I'll mess everything up? Like, I'll ruin the rhythm of New York City.
    CRAIG:
    I try to live, but it isn't coming easy
    'Cause I don't know how
    The voice within, muffled, buried in the chaos
    Like it can't scream out
    I think in circles like a broken record
    Every thought's identical
    You can't escape, like you're restricted by the pressure
    It's like you're wrapped up in tentacles
    Don't look down, the view is something permanent
    Life might whisper, death likes to shout
    Don't break down the bridge
    Before connecting to
    What might be on the other side
    I wanna figure me out
    Everyday never noticing surroundings
    Always looking down
    In every way, I avoid the city skyline
    Or the looming clouds
    Even trees, how they stand there, strong with purpose
    Telling me I need to grow
    I just see the roots all twisted, strange and tangled
    And that's the only me I know
    Don't look down and focus on what's hidden
    All your roots grow wildly deep underground
    Don't cut down a tree before it lives to see
    What might be on the other side
    I wanna figure me out
    I guess I wanna take a minute
    I wanna pause a thought
    And zoom in on the frame
    I'm just putting nothing in it
    Until the thought is gone
    My frame of mind's the same
    It's like I owe it to myself
    To go achieve understanding
    And leave with some upper hand, so
    I climb back down into the mess
    And I'm scared to death

    When you don't know how
    THERAPIST:
    "We'll leave it here for now."
    You can't go 'till you know
    BOTH:
    Don't look down
    CRAIG:
    The view is something permanent
    Life might whisper, death likes to shout
    BOTH:
    Don't break down
    CRAIG:
    The bridge
    Before connecting to
    What might be on the other side
    BOTH:
    Don't look down
    CRAIG:
    and focus on what's hidden
    All your roots grow wildly deep underground
    Don't cut down a tree before it lives to see

    I try to live, but it isn't very easy

    It feels so frustrating and patronizing when people try to tell you that everything as a teenager seems a lot bigger and more important to you than it actually is, that what you're going through is trivial and childish, so it won't matter eventually. We're still human, this is still part of our life; the fact that it's happening at a certain time within our time limit doesn't make it less real. This musical, and this song in particular, remind me that there are people who understand that. So thank you, Drew Gasparini.
