lyrics

My name is Tessie Hutchinson and I hate it here
After much deliberation and exhaustive conversations
I’ve decided that even when I’m thinking clear, turns out my heart is never truly devoid of fear.

I’ve got this husband Bill who barely has a pulse
I’ve got 3 children, staring blankly as we numb every impulse and make our way through the seasons as they change
What can I say? We are a product of this place.
Someday, perhaps, I’ll be gone without a trace.

(ITE)
Most days she’ll fantasize
(Tessie)
and I hear a tiny voice inside

(ITE)
Some days, she’ll agonize
(Tessie)
When these sides of me collide

But then I rationalize my role, and I continue to grow old
Nothing profound to behold.
Nothing cherished, nothing sacred to uphold

(Tessie and ITE)
No triumph, no tragedy, no friends, no enemies
