lyrics

STAR:
I like to put it as cut from the same cloth.
We all got dyed differently, and we all have different patterns
It’s easy to sew each other into each other, and become like this quilt almost
And some parts overlap, and the colors run into each other and
Make something different, and that’s each of us

I don’t think I would…ever choose to be alone again


R:
One of things that really scares me is that
One day that I’ll wake up and we won’t be me
Or I won’t be us
And someone else will be the new me
And I’ll go back to just being a concept in the back
I don’t know what that would be like. I don’t know if I could go back.


MAX:
I am a part and a whole! A member of a family and a person all my own!

LOTUS:
I am a concept in motion, a liquid notion.

LAPIS:
I am not a narcissist for wanting to exist.
I am entitled to my own humanity.


R: Watching my own life through uh
STAR: Like going through-passing through this filter
DEL_: Lenses is the word we like to use
R: A frosted window
STAR: Eyes behind my own eyes
DEL_: Filtering experiences into memories only they can access if they so choose to


DEL_:
I am corded steel and carbon
But to be us. What is an us? What is an us?
To learn, adapt
Take new stimuli, take them on as something of your own
Learn, become.
Something new, something old. Put together
It is a puzzle, a spectrum puzzle
And I am only one perspective
Sharing is the crux of coexistence


RED:
For me personally, I don't see a need to be anything but honest.
My job is lying, so when it comes to this I'd rather tell the truth.
I don't want to be a person.
I don't need to, and in fact I perform better when I'm not.
That doesn't mean I don't feel though, of course I do.
I have wants and needs just as much as anyone.
I just think of myself more mechanically, and I'm not ashamed of that.
I don't have a place for shame inside me anyway.


R:
This got really personal, didn’t it?
