Medusa

They call you Medusa, the myth they rehearse,
The reason your lover's a stone in the verse.
You watched him reach out and you flinched from his face,
Now he's frozen forever in that desolate place.
You hate what you've done but you can't turn it back,
You're painted in venom and dressed all in black.

And you want to scream, want to tear it all down,
But the poison inside you is your only crown.
Your own worst reflection — you're too scared to find,
What kind of monster lives in your mind.

I see you now, so lost and so cold,
A heart made of glass in a body so old.
You're not to blame for the things that you are,
Just a girl with a curse and an invisible scar.
I won't look away, I'll stand here alone,
With the woman who turns all her lovers to stone.

You drown in the silence, no voice to confess,
This venomous ugliness, this perfect mess.
You're queen of the ruins, a cold, broken crown,
With a court made of people you've personally let down.

And you want to scream, want to tear it all down,
But the poison inside you is your only crown.
Your own worst reflection — you're too scared to find,
What kind of monster lives in your mind.

I see you now, so lost and so cold,
A heart made of glass in a body so old.
You're not to blame for the things that you are,
Just a girl with a curse and an invisible scar.
I won't look away, I'll stand here alone,
With the woman who turns all her lovers to stone.

And if you looked, you'd finally find,
Just a sad, lonely girl in the mirror — the human kind.
Not ugly at all... just scared and confined.

I'll stay here...
I won't look away...
This weight you caught...
You're not to blame...
