A theatrical song from THEatre ACCELERATOR uses chemistry and physics to describe a doomed romance. Speaker A narrates ionic bonds and absolute zero while repeating "my word is my bond," and Speaker B responds with a solemn oath before declaring violent intent toward someone named Sam Knight.
Chapters
You found me in my lab, my nose was stuck in books. Back then I was all brains, but you, you saw my looks. I'd see life through a lens, I'd watch ionic bonds, just longing to connect and hoping life responds. I felt the charge when you entered the room, a chemical reaction, a supersonic boom. Electrons parted, the sky Open wide, a maelstrom in the universe, no place you can hide. You told me it was love, the daydreams you spawned, a cabin by the beach, my word is my bond. My heart had turned to ice the dawn you slunk away, don't wake her when you go, there's nothing you could say, so all that I have left, my beak full of Pride. I turn the world to ice and match my own inside. They said it can't be done, just watch us, Barnard prof. I'll take it down to zero, go ahead and scoff. I felt the charge when you entered the room, a chemical reaction, a supersonic boom. Electrons parted, the skies opened wide, a maelstrom in the universe There's no place you can hide. You told me it was love, but me, I got conned. The world is gonna freeze. My word is my bond.
My word, it is my bond. I'll never break. Avow. Sam Knight, I will destroy you! Starting here and now!
