It’s me
Of course, it’s me
The one
Who gets it done
Don’t you see?
It had to be
You all turn away
When I gut the fish
Then you cry hooray
Once it’s on a dish
That’s how we do this
Yes, we
Yes, you and me
I have always cared for you
I’ll always do
All these things for you
All these things that you
Are not prepared to do
All I ever did
All the sacrifice
All I ever hid
Trying to be nice
Everything for you (Time)
But in any case
I always knew (To put this girl in check)
You’d throw it in my face
You’re so controlling (This irritating speck)
Sorry, little bird
Time to wring your neck
Only, if only you knew
That you can’t force the future
Only, if only you knew
It’s not just another thing you can subdue
Only, if only I lived
In a quaint little pond like you
Only, if I could just lie there
And any time I moved
I’d tremble a reed or two
Yes, there’s a lot at stake
But there are other paths you can take
None of you see!
So, it’s down to me
It’s fine
I’ll take all the blame
I’ll take all the pain
Think you see it all
You see just a scrap
You wanna make the call?
You need to hold the map
You cloistered children
It’s time for you
And all who stand with you
Yes, you too
Form a queue
Time to follow through
Inside
Somewhere inside
In that mind
There’s a war
You’re not sure
Don’t be so sure
We’re not the same
Never the same
I’m okay dying again
If it’s with you
You’re the only place to be
Athena, you know me
I’m not the kind who
Is ruled by emotion
But I don’t want to be
A murder accessory
You’re not gonna do this again
We’re not going through this again
Not again
I won’t let there be another Calliope
Of course, it’s me
Because of me
This prophecy
Would come to be
My Olympus is gone
And you’re all looking on
At a stranger
Wearing my face
My Olympus is gone
Now I’m some other one
Just how long has
She been in place?
Give it time, you’ll find
Even an island drifts
You don’t notice, cause it only moves
In teeny, tiny shifts
I forgive you, Athena.
Look into me
I know what I see
Yes, a monster
I’ve met monsters
Who weren’t monsters
I’m a monster
To me
I’m sorry, Grace
I’m sorry all of you
I wish Calliope
Could know it, too
She does
She hears you

This trombone quartet, composed by my dear friend Jeremy Howard Back, won the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award and couldn't be more deserving. This is a piece of RAW POWER. Just get it ... Austin Wintory
