Salt Palace Lyrics by The Bengsons

Hundred Days (Original Cast Recording)

2018

[JO, spoken]
Until finally
[JO / REGGIE, spoken]
You reach
The center of the axis
(sung)
Where everything is entirely still
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Time unfolds around us
An endless salt flat
I see Shaun
His life stretched out from horizon to horizon
Shaun at every age:
At five, at fifteen
At bible camp
As a toddler, riding a dog
In the diner booth, with me
Shaun, we did it
And suspended all around me I see
All the moments of my life
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
I see myself in the moment before everything changed
I see my mother
[JO / REGGIE]
I see my mother
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Collapsed on the floor
Too sick to move
And I see my father
[JO / REGGIE]
I see my father
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And his madness
And I see the dead
I see the dead, I see my dead
So I look to the future
But I see my face become my mother's
[ALL except ABIGAIL] [ABIGAIL, spoken}
As the storm comes
I see Shaun fall
As the ice melts
Collapsed on the floor
As the wars come
Too sick to move
While we sleep
I see him mad
The march is over
I see him lost
The vigil ended
And I can’t stop it
The oceans rise
I can't I can't I can’t
And swallow deep
[ALL]
The world goes mad
And we go mad
And it's too late now
It's too late
And I see the ruins in front of me
All the beauty we were given
We didn't stop it
We didn't stop anything
We lose everything good
[ABIGAIL]
Every fifteen-year-old girl
Every family
Every home
(Drum Click)
