Cybronica

*This song is about the woes of dimishing yourself to meet others’ expectations or desires of you. In this case, I’m thinking my opera career, but it could just as easily apply to my short lived marriage. Take what you will from it.

The challenge is met with a piano and a synth*

For your consideration
I offer on a plate the things that make
Me who I am: a bit glam
And something raw- unfiltered power full of awe
The very best of my creation
Sure to earn your ovation

Is this enough?
Is this enough?
Is this enough for you?
Did I display enough of me
To be enough for you?

For your consideration
I promise not to make the same mistake
It’s worth the wait- feel free to take
what you need of mine and leave behind
The parts you’ve deemed are unrefined
I won’t be caught with them I swear
I won’t again be unaware

Is this enough?
Is this enough?
Is this enough for you?
Did I disguise enough of me
To be enough for you?

For your consideration
I debased myself, erased myself
Diminished and effaced myself
To fit within your expectations
Curated a reputation
Cutting off the imperfections
You said won’t fit your direction

Is this enough?
Is this enough?
Is this enough for you?
Did I destroy enough of me
To be enough for you?
