It's not Me


Tell me who you are, where

you are

why

 

Tell me a little bit about yourself

Okay?

I am ice, here and there

I am 

 

A soldier, a scholar

without a chance

I am my fathers daughter

 

I am magic, a whisper, a sound in the dark,

I am music

 

My sound

surrounds

to be spoken aloud

 

Chitter, flitter, flutter

faster

 

Quiet, he's coming

don't make a sound

it's awake.

 

The beast

inside

listens
