[UTTERSON] You have your work And nothing more! You are possessed - What is your demon? You've never been This way before - Where is the fire You built your dream on? There's something strange There's something wrong I see a change - It's like when hope dies I, who have known You for so long I see the pain In your eyes! [UTTERSON] [JEKYLL] [Emma] There was a time Have Have You lived your life, I You And no one lived Become - Become- The way that you did! You had a plan, My work Your work You chose a wife, And nothing And nothing You saw the world More? More? As very few did!
