Medusa says she won't turn me to stone That her gaze will leave me flesh and bone That her powers, like so many things, are but rumor and myth She says that the numerous statues around She chipped with a chisel from stone that she found In the shapes of loved ones she'd known, and lost, and missed Medusa says that she's all alone On this island of deep caves and sea waves and stone Few travelers come to this cruel and distemperate place Her sisters once lived here, but they've disappeared And through all the desolate eons and years No one has dared even once to look at her face She says I don't have to look If I'm too afraid But I can hear in her voice how deeply she craves To see, within my eyes, herself being seen What crimes would she commit to satisfy cravings so keen? Ah Medusa, I'm sorry, but I can't trust you today Walking backwards with mirrors, I draw every nearer, but only while looking away Medusa, I hear your sorrow in every sigh You cling to my hands and say you understand But Medusa I know it's a lie Medusa says she's been cursed by the gods For the crimes of men who thought her too odd Punished for others' reactions to qualities she couldn't change She's not sure what lesson she's meant to have learned But it's difficult not to feel bitter and spurned And that bitterness makes her more distant, more cold, and more strange Medusa says she pours into her art All the pain and regret that are trapped in her heart Which makes all of her statues appear to be in distress I want to believe every word that she speaks And give her the connection that she desperately seeks But her granite companions' hard faces cause me to obsess Each one, so beautifully lifelike, seems to mourn Is it truly her own pain reflected? Or theirs, at being transformed? Ah Medusa, I'm sorry, but I can't trust you today Walking backwards with mirrors, I draw every nearer, but only while looking away Medusa, I hear your sorrow in every sigh You cling to my hands and say you understand But Medusa I know it's a lie Medusa says safety is not as it seems And neither are statues or omens or dreams And sacrifice only worth what is forsook Her snakes hiss paeans in the wind And tenderly she caresses my skin And she softly and gently weeps As she begs me to look To look To look I see what I always suspected The transformation begins at my feet I wish that I could be angry But understand too well the deceit. "Forgive me," she cries as the rock takes my thighs "For all of my, all of my, all of my lies! I was just too desperate to see myself being seen." Ah Medusa, I'm sorry that the instant you finally feel known You petrify all your potential companions And end up again on your own Medusa, I'm sorry that I have to leave you alone But you've drawn out from me all I can ever be And my lips and my heart Turn To
