I Am I - Queensrÿche

Beating with life you promised life

Security, happiness

Unfortunate son cornered

Cowering in the pit of

Circling panes of glass that

Surround and reveal the ever present «It»

«It» is my move, my every look

Interpreting gestures

Informing other

What’s undercover and

Lurking beneath my mask

Of this year’s featured model

Is this too much?

Close your eyes

Care to look inside?

I am I!

What may appear

Might easily be explained

But given the situation

Of info saturation

What you feel can never go away

Steering perception?

I am!

Inviting contradiction?

I am!

It’s my insistence

You keep your distance

From the glare behind my stare

So this is the way

The game is played

You can leave now…

But I think you’ll stay.

I am I!
