Chris DeGarmo, Geoff Tate)



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 ³It²



³It² is my move, my every look,

interpreting gestures,

informing others

what¹s undercover and

lurking beneath my mask

of this years¹s featured model.

Is this too much ?

Close your eyes.

Care to look inside ? I AM I !



What may appear

might easily be explained

but give the situation

of into saturation,

what you feel can never go away.



Steering perception ? I AM I !

Inviting contradiction ? I AM I !

It¹s 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 you¹ll stay. I AM I
