I Don’t Understand - Emilie Autumn

THOMSON
Let me take your picture
EMILY
Is that a camera
THOMSON
Yes it is
And when I light the powder
EMILY
Ah How long does it take
THOMSON
Well are you very good at sitting still
EMILY
Why do you ask
THOMSON
For if you're not then
We'll have to clamp your head in place
EMILY
You really do that
THOMSON
You'd be surprised how often
EMILY
I've had enough of clamps
THOMSON
I don't understand
EMILY
He doesn't does he
THOMSON
What are all these bruises
EMILY
Does he know where he is
THOMSON
These lacerations
May I look
EMILY
What's all this for
THOMSON
Why is she here
She doesn't seem to be insane at all
Would you allow me to place these flowers in your hair
EMILY
He seems so nervous
THOMSON
Pardon me
EMILY
He's very pretty
THOMSON
There now
Better then by far
EMILY
Should we hide the scar
THOMSON
No The scar is beautiful
It's like a heart
EMILY
I'm like Ophelia once again
Is it ever over Will it never end
What accounts for this morbid fascination with this suicidal girl
Pretend you're drowning moan and sigh
Only thing you're not told is the reason why
This obsession is madness at its most perverse
My god what in the world could be the purpose of this game
When every time it ends the same
Poor Shakespeare's turning in his grave
Still I must behave
Doctor's little slave
THOMSON
No No that's perfect
Don't move an inch That's far more real
I've never seen a face like hers
The world should look upon it
Well I suppose that's why they've brought me here
Miss I thank you
EMILY
I've done nothing
THOMSON
She's done more than she knows
EMILY
I haven't heard those words in years
The chaser's coming for me
THOMSON
Why must she be chained
I don't understand
EMILY
He doesn't does he
