Look into Me (feat. Anjali Bhimani & Laura Bailey)

lyrics

What a long day
Hiding in the light
Such a long day
Dreaming of tonight
This sacred bite

Hello, who’s that there?
You’ve messed up my flow
Just get your drink girl
And take your seat—Oh?

It’s the muse…

There are sacred bites
And then there’s
This sacred bite
So wrong
So right
I’m really gonna
Hate myself tonight

Right! Let’s play
I’m sure you can bite okay
But you get a fight today
You’re fighting Grace this time

And this time’s mine
This time
Is mine

For centuries
These heroes got sent to me
Each one of them bent to me (Not meant to be this time)
This time and all time (Cause this time’s mine)
This time’s mine
This time, just like every time (This time)
Is mine

Now
Look into me
Your body goes free
Every tendon
As it tenders
Turning jelly
As it renders

Mm!

I think you’re saying, “I can’t speak?”

Mm!

And that was, “Why can’t I speak?”
I call it ‘The Preparation’.

Alright that’s fine
You want the boring facts (Mm!)
Well dear, this process
Makes your meat relax (Mm!)
Turn you to stone?
And miss that lovely musey taste of you?
And it’s just murder on the chompers too (Mm!)

That thing you said before
You’re right, it’s true
Feels extra special doing (Mm!)
Something you can’t undo (Mm!)

Ha ha!

Look into me—Oh!

She’s looking away! Hey!

Hey! Look into me (I looked, Medusa, saw a hunger with no end)
Grace, look into me (You’re lost Medusa, unless you find a friend)
What you see is
What I should be (I can be a friend)
Now look at me
But don’t look at me

Athena made you like this

She was mad at me, so?

Well why was she mad?
She said I’d been bad

But had you been?

No.

Now
Look into me

Listen, Medusa!

She’s ashamed of what you do
But she never stops using you
Hey, I’d be a monster too
I’d be like you, big time!
And it’s time
To realize you’re the victim of a crime

You’re lost, little girl
No more hail Marys
We both know the victim’s you
The monster’s me (You don’t know, you don’t know)
I do know that you didn’t—?

Kill Calliope?

So, you know that’s it’s true
That I didn’t do it

No.

Yes, you do know you know
Does that mean
Athena knows?

No!

Fine, Grace (Don’t you see Medusa?)
I’ll take you (You are just her tool)
While you’re awake (Your queen’s a user)
True, the meat will be (You’re Athena’s fool)
Slightly tougher (Persephone)
But you’re really (She’s a friend to me)
Gonna suffer (We could get you free)
