Two Tongues

Your heart's not in it, it's everywhere.

All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I’ve got accustomed to,
Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night

Why would musical theater be the only culture that resists newness? It doesn’t make sense. Bands become successes on tumblr. Where’s the tumblr of musical theater? [The problem is] older people are willing to pay for it, and they’re the same audience that’s not going to want something new. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d rather go see our future than most musicals. The theater is simply not democratized in any way, and other art forms are.
