Can you see me?
Yes you see my flesh
But you do not see ME
You see what i want you to see
you know only what i let you know
I may be a phoenix flying on the scarlet morning rays
I may be a viper poised to strike
I could be a vixen lithe and wild
I could be a guinea pig fat and stupid
I am what I want
I only do what I want
Though it my look as if i obey without complaint
I am willing to help even if you do not deserve it
I only respect those who earn it
But in all this confusion I must spread truth
I AM the phoenix
I AM the viper AND the vixen
or i could act the guinea pig
but i will always be me
