Look into Me

[MEDUSA]
What a long day, hiding in the light
Such a long day, dreaming of tonight
This sacred bite!

Hello, who's that there?
You messed with my flow
Just get your drink, girl and take your seat
Oh! It's the Muse

There are sacred bites
And then there's this sacred bite
So wrong, so right
I'm really gonna hate myself tonight

[GRACE]
Right, let's play
I'm sure you can bite, okay
But you get a fight today
You're fighting grace this time

And this time's mine
This time is mine

[MEDUSA]
For centuries, these hеroes got sent to me
Each onе of them bent to me

[GRACE]
Not meant to be this time

[MEDUSA & GRACE]
This time and all time
'Cause this time's mine
This time's mine, this time's just like every time
This time...

[MEDUSA & GRACE]
...Is mine

[MEDUSA]
Now, look into me
Your body goes freely
Every tendon, as it tenders
Turning jelly as it renders

[GRACE]
(Muffled speech)

[MEDUSA]
I think you're saying "I can't speak"
And that was "Why can't I speak?"

I call it "The Preparation"
Alright that's fine you want the boring facts
Well dear this process makes your meat relax

Turn you to stone?
And miss that lovely Muse-y taste of you?
And it's just murder on the chompers too

That thing you said before, you're right, it's true
Feels extra special doing something you can't undo!

Look into me--
(spoken)
Oh! She's looking away!
Hey!

[GRACE & MEDUSA]
(Look into me)
I looked, Medusa, saw a hunger with no end
(Grace, look into me)
You're lost, Medusa, unless you find a friend
(What you see is what I should be)
I can be a friend
(Now look at me, but don't look at me)

[GRACE]
Athena made you like this

[MEDUSA]
She was mad at me, so?

[GRACE]
Well why was she mad?

[MEDUSA]
She said I'd been bad

[GRACE, spoken]
Had you been?

[MEDUSA, spoken]
No

(sung)
Now, look into me

[GRACE]
Listen Medusa!
She's ashamed of what you do, but she never stops using you
Hey, I'd be a monster too, I'd be like you, big time
And it's time to realise you're the victim of a crime

[MEDUSA]
You're lost, little girl
No more Hail Mary’s
We both know the victim's you
The monster's me

[GRACE]
You don't know, you don't know

[MEDUSA]
I do know that you didn't--

[GRACE]
Kill Calliope?

So you know that it's true that I didn't do it

[MEDUSA]
No!

[GRACE]
Yes, you do know you know, does that mean Athena knows?

[MEDUSA, spoken]
No!

[MEDUSA & GRACE]
Fine Grace
(Don’t you see, Medusa?)
I’ll take you while you’re awake
(You are just her tool)
(Your Queen’s a user, you’re Athena’s fool)
True, the meat will be slightly tougher
(Persephone, she's a friend to me)
And you’re really gonna suffer!
(We can get you free)
(laughs)
