Lyrics
Yes, it's me
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 the 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, but in any case (time to put this girl in check)
I always knew 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 think you can subdue
Only, if only I lived in a quaint little pond like you
Only if I could just lie there, and anytime 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
You think you see it all, you just see 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 goin' through this again
Not again
I won't let there be another Calliope
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
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
