General

I can't believe you're throwing a party

                        What are you talking about

                        I'm not in Brooklyn 

I see you talking to Megan

                        I'm still in New York 

Then why do I see you walking 

towards me

                        I don't know what your talking about

                        Thats  not me

What do you mean?

He looks exactly like you

He even sounds like you

                     This is exactly what I feared would happen

Stop playing with me

It's not funny

                     I’m serious

                     It's not me

                     Its my twin brother

You don't have a twin brother

Im not stupid

                    I do, but it's a long story

Ok jokes over you can stop now 

                    I`m not joking 

                    Just let me explain

Fine

                    When i was two my parents got divorced

I know

                    Mom took me, dad took Bryan

Who`s Bryan

                     My twin

The one that doesn't exist

                    He does exist

Ok  continue

                     Ok 

                     Bryan was and still is really evil

He was a child

                    He was still very evil

                           My dad had enough so he dropped him off on our porch when I was          

                                                            seven

Where did your dad go?

                     I have no idea

I`m sorry

                     Its ok, I didn't really know him that well

                     When Bryan arrived he did some really horribly evil stuff 

What do you mean by that

                     He set the house on fire while we were sleeping

Oh my gosh 

                     Yeah 

                     My mom bought the house we live in now

Ok

                     She locked Bryan in the basement

No

                     Yes

That's really awful

                     I know

                     I snuck in to visit him everyday for almost a year

Why did you stop?

                     My mom told me she would make me live on the streets

She sounds awful, thank God 

I never met her

                     And you never will

Why

                     She walked out on us over two months ago

So you and Bryan have lived 

alone for almost two months?

                    Yes

Why is he pretending to be you?

                             He blames me for him being locked in the basement for so long

                     He is trying to replace me

                     You have to leave now!

I still think this is a joke

I’m not stupid

                    How many times do I have to tell you it's not a joke

                    I know your not stupid

                    I’m driving back now

I'm scared

                    What's going on?

The power went out

                    I’m almost there

The power is back on

No one is here

WHAT IS GOING ON?

                    Leave the house right now!

I can't find my stuff

                     Leave it

Ok  

The front door won’t open

Neither will the back door

I'm scared Liam!

                     It's going to be ok 

The power went out again

                     I”m less than ten minutes away

I hear someone screaming

I'm really scared

The power is back on

Everyone is back

Liam please if you’re joking tell 

me now

Bryan told me he wants to talk 

to me

                     Don't go with him

He told me that your a liar and 

not really Liam 

He told me this was all a joke

                     He is lying

He told me that he loves me

 I know you're not Liam

                     I’m Liam

                     Ask me any question and I will answer

No you’re not, you’re probably just 

one of his football buddies

                     I'm not I swear

                     I'm not lying

HI BROTHER

                    Leave her alone Bryan

ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO HER IS YOUR FAULT

I'VE BEEN STUCK IN THE BASEMENT FOR TEN LONG AND EXCRUCIATING YEARS

    AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT

I'M GOING TO HURT EVERYONE YOU LOVE BECAUSE YOU TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING FROM ME

                    It's not my fault you’re psychotic!

MOM AND DAD LOVED YOU 

YOU TOOK THEIR LOVE FOR GRANTED

SAY GOODBYE TO ANGELINA

                    Bryan please don’t hurt her

I'M NOT JUST GOING TO HURT HER

I'M GOING TO HURT YOU

                    Bryan it's not my fault that mom and dad were  abusive

YOU MANIPULATED MOM INTO ONLY LOVING YOU

                     She was afraid of you because you are special

                     Don’t do anything you will regret

I REGRET NOTHING! 

                     Bryan please don't hurt anyone

                     Bryan... I love you

I HATE YOU 

I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU TOOK AWAY DAD

I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU TOOK AWAY MOM

I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU LIVED A NORMAL LIFE

I HATE YOU BECAUSE MOM GAVE YOU THE CURE BUT NOT ME

                     What cure?

YOU NEVER TOOK THE CURE?

                     I don't know what your talking about

YOUR LYING!

LIAR!

STOP LYING!

                     I'm not lying

                     I don't know what your talking about

WE BOTH WERE LIKE ME

POWERFULL

TELEKINETIC

ABLE TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S MEMORIES

ABLE TO MAKE PEOPLE SEE STUFF THAT'S NOT THERE

                    I'm not like you

MOM AND DAD GAVE YOU THE CURE

                    NO THEY DIDNT

                    I JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE KNOWING ABOUT MY POWERS

YOU ARE LIKE ME!

JOIN ME BROTHER

WE CAN RULE THE WORLD

                    I don't want people to be afraid of me

FEAR IS VERY POWERFUL

IT MAKES PEOPLE AFRAID 

MOM AND DAD LEFT BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID

THEY WERE COWARDS

JOIN ME OR YOU WILL BE DEFEATED

                    I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU

WELL YOU MIGHT NOT BE AFRAID OF ME

BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF

 YOU'RE AFRAID OF THE TRUTH

                     WHAT?

NONE OF THIS IS REAL

 IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD

YOUR CRAZY

                     I'M NOT CRAZY

YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN REALITY

NEITHER ME NOR ANGELINA ARE REAL

WE ARE A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION

WE ARE THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD

                     LIAR

WE HAVE TRIED TO KEEP YOU FROM YOUR REALITY

BUT WE HAVE FOUND YOU ARE NOT WORTHY

YOU MUST WAKE UP AND JOIN SOCIETY

 WHEN YOU WAKE UP EVERYTHING YOU KNOW WILL CEASE TO EXIST

                    LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!


                    YOUR JUST TRYING TO USE YOUR POWERS TO MAKE ME                    

                                                             FORGET

NEITHER OF US ARE POWERFUL

HOW MANY TIMES MUST I REMIND YOU

I'M NOT REAL 

                    THIS IS A JOKE

                     THIS CAN'T BE REAL

IT IS

YOU HAVE BEEN STUCK IN YOUR MIND FOR THIRTY YEARS

JUMPING FROM DIFFERENT LIFE STORY TO THE NEXT

NONE OF THEM WERE REAL

                    LIAR

YOU NEED TO WAKE UP LEAH
