I quite liked that book
my brother’s built firm of bronze, steel and gold he’s everything the kingdom wants blond, tall and broad effortlessly strong he’s everything that I am not my body was born of marble and stone my mind tends to always keep score while my brother was sculpted by gods and the trusted I’m the scraps on the workshop floor
I was built frail of a trail of pale little fragments the scraps of my creed hair of raven’s plume darker than doom with eyes that are greener than greed my body was born of marble and stone my mind tends to always want more my dear brother was sculpted by gods that we trusted I’m the scraps on the workshop floor
untrusted, unproven unwanted, unloved always a Raven but never a dove sure, he’s the solution he’s oh, so beloved but I’m still stuck
my friend is built thin of rose, gold and gin she’s sweeter than anything I’ve got blonde, tall and pretty effortlessly witty she’s all that my wicked heart wants my body was born of glaciers and thorns my heart puts my foot in the door while my lover’s hand-sculpted emerald encrusted I’m the scraps on the workshop floor I’m the foot in the workshop door I’m the scraps on the workshop floor
Uhuhuhhuhuh

No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah... It was an accident It's just ignorance Didn't mean to do it, do it, no So I let it pass, roll off my back No reason to cry over and over But the tear stains on my pillow Tell me that I don't know how to really let this go
No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah...
Well, my broken heart is just collateral damage to someone's selfish tendencies Maybe if I spoke up Tell them I had enough, they'd listen to me But maybe they won't, and maybe they don't - They don't care what they do to me Listen Here
I like the second verse
I’ll come to you on a lavender breeze
Just close your eyes and you’ll see
When I’m holding you we are clean
And this is more than a dream
I’ll keep stacking up my two cents
Against the bills and the rent
So you can live in more than my head
I can’t wait to see you again
For now we’ll phone
When we should be sleeping
Hold onto hope
That this is the real thing
Oh, you’re my everything.
Yeah, I may have blood on my hands
I may be a broken man
Maybe I don’t know where I stand
But I’m finding home again
Please just let me rest
On the left side of your bed
Yeah, rinse the red from my hands
I love you without end
Oh, for now we’ll phone
When we should be sleeping
Hold onto hope
That this is the real thing
Oh, you’re my everything.
I’ll keep stacking up my two cents
Against the bills and the rent
So you can live in more than my head
I can’t wait to see you again
Please just let me rest
On the left side of your chest
Yeah, rinse the red from my hands
I love you without end
-Sweet Dreams on a Lavender Breeze-

— Deepak Chopra
Loveee her
This is really cool! People usually forget about her after the musicals over but you wrote a whole song!
I was researching the events of Hamilton and got really emotionally invested in Maria Reynolds, especially since we only see Hamilton’s perspective on her and the affair which somehow makes him out to be the victim. I understand that the musical couldn’t afford to spend any more time on her, but I wish she got more sympathy and respect. “Say No To This” was only one section in her life, after all. So I… just went ahead and…
wrote the lyrics for a whole Hamilton-style song about her life. As you do.
References to the musical:
The title (situated at the end of a line in the chorus) being an adjective referring to how Maria does and/or does not feel and related to her passion for Hamilton follows the pattern of “Helpless” and “Satisfied”, uniting the three “Me? I loved him” women.
Burr’s “the sinners and the saints” line in “Wait For It”, leading into how her life “takes and it takes and it takes”. Possibly foreshadowing of Burr’s significance in her life and her turn to religion in her last years.
“No one will read it” and “Burr, that’s why need it” in “Non-Stop”.
The ‘pawns’ line harks back to chess terms and references like “knight takes rook”, “stalemate”, “the sacrifices made in every game of chess” - Hamilton follows the chess players, Maria is just a pawn. A piece Hamilton is willing to sacrifice.
“I’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal” in “My Shot”.
The “Alexander Hamilton” motif (all names are sung in their show cadences).
“Stay Alive”, the titular phrase of which is sung by Maria’s foil Eliza no less.
Eliza and Angelica repeatedly draw attention to Hamilton’s eyes being his most captivating feature that makes them fall for him in “Helpless” and “Satisfied”. So with Maria here it’s no different. She and Angelica both specifically sing that their situation is bearable because they can “keep [Hamilton’s] eyes in [their] life”, even if he’s truly Eliza’s.
Hamilton’s “I don’t want you” line in “Say No To This”.
The plea to “stay” both Eliza and Maria sing to Hamilton.
“Helpless”, another Eliza motif Maria borrows.
The “Aaron Burr, sir” motif. “…that I can, ma’am” is sung to the same tune, showing along with the title that Burr (a supporter of women’s equality) respects Maria as his equal.
“Say No To This”, in a proper reprise.
The “I am not throwing away my shot” motif.
“The world seemed to burn” in “Burn”.
“The Reynolds Pamphlet”, also a brief reprise.
“You lit my heart aflame” in “Satisfied”.
The “satisfied” motif.
The “enough” motif. Oh look, Eliza again.
