Viola’s Soliloquy (2nd Reprise) Lyrics by Shaina Taub

Twelfth Night (Original Public Works Cast Recording)

2018

[VIOLA]
Sebastian
[SEBASTIAN]
My eyes are playing tricks on me
[VIOLA]
Is it really you?
[SEBASTIAN]
It can't be true, you drowned, or did I? Is this where you go when you die?
[VIOLA]
Sebastian, it's me, Viola
[ORSINO & OLIVIA]
Viola!?
[VIOLA]
Our mother had a birthmark on her shoulder
And our dad died when we were thirteen
We grew up in a house by the bay in Messaline
[SEBASTIAN]
Viola
[SEBASTIAN & VIOLA]
I never thought this would be
[SEBASTIAN]
Wait-- why are you dressed like me?
[VIOLA]
I thought I lost you
And I was lost too
So I wore your shoes
And they made me strong
But now that' you're found
I think I've been here all along
Because maybe the man I tried to be
Is the girl I always was
So--
Disguise, you were the devil's blessing
You turned a mirror back at me
And for the first time I think I like what I see
Now I can put you back on the shelf
And change into myself
