Lyrics:

MICHAEL: You’re gonna be okay, just stay with me.

ALEX: It hurts more than I thought it would.

MICHAEL:
KEEP HOLDING ON
IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO LIVE
NOBODY CARES WHO YOU ARE
JUST HOLD MY HAND
LET IT KEEP YOU WARM
SHELTERED FROM THE STORM
THAT’S OUTSIDE THESE WALLS

ALEX:
LISTEN TO ME
I WILL BE FREE
PLEASE LET ME GO
TO A BETTER PLACE I KNOW

MICHAEL:
LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE
QUITE HONESTLY
YOU ARE MY BESTFRIEND
YOU ARE MY ONLY FRIEND
DON’T LET ME BE ALONE

ALEX:
I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU
WE ARE BUILT FOR ONE ANOTHER
YOU AND I CAN’T BE TOGETHER ON THIS EARTH
SO I PRAY THAT YOU AND I CAN BE TOGETHER
IN DEATH

MICHAEL:
I CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU WANT
WE BOTH KNOW IT COULDN’T WORK SO
I PROMISE NOW AND FOREVER ON THIS EARTH
THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE’LL STILL BE FRIENDS
I KNOW YOU WANTED MORE
MORE THAN WHAT I’M READY FOR
JUST HOLD ON, FOR ME

Alex dies in Michael’s arms. Michael cries. I just met a boy today plays.

NARRATOR: Alex dies in Michael's arms. Sophie arrives with a police officer. It all happened so
fast.

The narrator becomes a police officer and keeps Sophie back.

POLICE: Step away from the body young man.

Sophie steps forward to talk to the audience.

SOPHIE: By the time I got there it was too late. I didn’t get to say goodbye. I was angry at him,
but he was a good guy at heart. The officer took Michael from Alex, and confirmed
his death.

Officer takes Michael from Alex, Michael steps forward. Officer puts a cloth over Alex.

MICHAEL: I couldn’t believe he was gone, he breathed his last breath in my arms. I went to
comfort Sophie (comforts Sophie) and that was the last I remember from that night.
It’s a blur in my mind.

Officer steps forward, Sophie and Michael go off-stage.

POLICE: We took the lad to the morgue, and a week later the funeral happened.

Narrator becomes a minister, and addresses the audience as the congregation. Organ music is playing.

MINISTER: We are here today to pay our tribute and respect to a brave young man, who lost his
life a week ago today. Alex was a tormented boy who felt his only means of escape
was through suicide. We must as a collective do better to ensure that another soul is
not lost to the prejudice of sexuality. Would anyone like to say a few words?

Michael and Sophie come on stage, and hold the Minister’s hand.

MICHAEL: I would.

MICHAEL:
HAVE YOU NOT WONDERED WHY PEOPLE ARE DYING WHILST
LYING ABOUT WHO THEY ARE?

ALEX & MICHAEL:
HAVE YOU NOT THOUGHT ABOUT HUMAN EXISTENCE?
AND HOW STRONG YET FRAGILE WE ARE

SOPHIE & NARRATOR:
GOOD YET SO BAD SOME CAN BE

ALEX & MICHAEL:
IS IT SO EASY TO LIVE?

The cast slowly leave the stage, Blackout, FIN.
