Florence stands on the edge of hope and heartbreak. A final attempt. One last winding of the key.

As the mechanism begins to tick, anticipation blooms into wonder. A heart made from a clock beats for the first time. Florence sings life into metal and spring, dreaming of thought, feeling, and connection. The chorus swells with belief. This time it will be real. This time it will last.

THIS IS REAL (MAKE BELIEVE REPRISE)

FLORENCE

There. That’s it. You’re ticking. You’re… oh, you’re ticking!

Verse 1

Now it’s time to wake you up,

A tick tock heart made from a clock.

Verse 2

One last try to make you real,

A clockwork heart will make you think and feel.

Chorus

This is real, I’ll make it true,
