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!
