The Return - Jessica Perez
Do you think you know me? Well maybe you do So youve heard my name before And you wonder why I look familiar Such a striking resemblance to an old photograph on the mantle Could it be that Im conjuring up a memory that you try to hide in the dark? Oh! I was the one with the pennies on my eyes I was the one in the pine box that they lowered into the ground But not now~ But not now~ Oh, the terror of what youve done is trembling on all of your loose ends Breathing softly and whispering to keep the world from finding out Oh! I was the one with the pennies on my eyes I was the one in the pine box that they lowered into the ground But not now~ Now Im the one with the lightning in my eyes I am the one with the stars in my hair, the fury in my fist, the life inside my lungs So watch out~ The moon it rises higher Staring at the fire, we look up for our answers Daring not to ask the questions that lay in our hearts I was the one with the pennies on my eyes I was the one in the pine box that they lowered into the ground But not now~ Now Im the one with the lightning in my eyes Im the one with the stars in my hair, Im the one thats alive!
