Shapeshifter’s Song

upbeat, female voice, female vocals, layered, sample-heavy beats, soul-pop, tip-hop beats, upbeat

Which me, which me, which me did the jury eat?
Hahah… the judge swallowed my lies and played with my beat

[Chours]
(Run, run, tick of the g-g-gun)
Laughin’ in the sirens, dancin’ in the sun!
(Bang, bang, echo my n-n-name)
Another disguise, another new game!
(Run, run, catch if you c-c-can)
Switchin’ up faces with a snap of my hand!
(Bang, bang, you’ll never know)
Which me, which me, which me’s in control!

The cop said, “ma'am, which you should I cuff?”
I grinned with five mouths: “Pick one— good luck.*
My alibis bloom like mushrooms in a storm,
Each lie’s got a birth certificate, a name, a form.
The polygraph needle resigns, sputtered, flatlined
“Innocent!” screamed the priest, “Guilty!” whined the clown.
My fingerprints swap like a deck of marked cards,
One day a nurse, next day a face willed with e-e-e-echo scars.

Catch me, catch me, catch me if you can,
I don't mind, i change me into someone like a friend.

(A preacher once swore I had no soul,)
A doctor once tried to make me whole.
A mother once claimed I was never her child,
A lover once kissed me and ran, beguiled.

I write new stories on counterfeit skin,
Each life I live, I shed again.
You swear you know me? You swear it’s true?
Then tell me, darling...uhm, who are you?
I s-s-s-shift through shadows, wear your name,
A thousand faces, none the same.
I d-d-d-drink your hopes, then spill them wide,
I am the tide, the turning tide
I'm all of you,, just passing by. (hahah)

(uh-uh, dududu du) Phantoms waltz, but I place my bet. Red-stained hands in a silk corset Dancin’ through the night, like a deadly Quintet (uh-uh, dududu du) I sip on my drink, then vanish from sight, Morph, shift, I'm a trick of the night, Slippin’ through the cracks like a blade through light!
