Sample excerpt
They handed me the blueprint of a life I did not draw, and told me it was kindness, told me it was love. But there's a door I've never opened in the back of every room, and tonight I'm going to open it, and I'm going to walk through.
This is the part where I stop asking, this is the part where I decide. If the whole town wants to watch me, let them watch me, I've got nothing left to hide.
Workshop note — Inglés obligado. El personaje decide bajo el foco: la estrofa narra la trampa, el estribillo la ruptura. "This is the part where…" es la fórmula del showstopper: la voz se hace narrador de su propio giro. Cada verso está pensado para actuarse, no solo cantarse.
