Repo: The Genetic Opera

Mag: 

Shilo?

Is your name Shilo?

Can I talk to you?

Can you come down please?

Shilo: 

Why?

Mag: 

So we can speak

I saw you at the show

I thought I'd seen a ghost

Your resemblance is striking

You have your mother's eyes, her hair

I was told you died with her

All these years have come and gone

How do I put this?

I'm your- Godmom

Shilo: 

State your business

Mag: 

Business?

Shilo: 

What do you want?

Mag: 

I want, I want to finally meet you

Something real to cling, 

To leave you

With the hope that you will go do

All you're meant to, 

All I failed to

In you is a world of promise

We have both been kept in bondage

But you could learn from all my failures

Shilo: 

I'm not suppose to talk to strangers

Mag: 

Or let them through the gate?

Shilo: 

That either

A big risk

Mag: 

A big fence

Shilo: 

A big mistake

Mag: 

A new friend

Marni: 

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Shilo: 

Oh my god, mom! 

How'd you do that?

Mag: 

Do what?

Shilo: 

Do that, that eye thing

Mag: 

These eyes can do more than see

Shilo: 

I know. I mean, 

I've seen you sing

Mag: 

Where?

Shilo: 

From my window

I can see the world from there

Name the stars and constellations

Count the cars and watch the seasons

Mag: 

I wish we could have watched together

Shilo: 

I can't have guests

Mag: 

Never?

Shilo: 

Ever

If Dad found out that I'd been let out

Or that you'd been let in

Mag: 

I should go then 

Before I do

Promise me you won't

Shilo: 

Better that you don't.

Mag: 

Don't forget a sheltered rose

Needs a little room to bloom

Outside her bedroom

(Shilo: 

It's best if I resume my life

Inside my bedroom.)

Marni: 

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Mag: 

Let your life be a dream

Integrity, honesty

It's too late for me

Don't look back

'Till you're free to chase the morning

Marni: 

Yield for nothing

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Yield for nothing
