Call Me Zyrah

Compositor: Anna Miriam Brown / Isaac J Brown

[Zyrah]
Who are you singing to?

[Matthias, spoken]
Who are you?

[Zyrah]
I could ask you the same thing
What were you praying to?

[Matthias,]
Honestly

[Zyrah and Matthias]
Probably nothing
I don't know if you can tell by the wraps around my face
But you should probably stay away

[Zyrah and Matthias]
You're a leper?
Yes

[Zyrah and Matthias]
Then I've come to the right place
So what are you doing here?

[Matthias]
I got sick

[Zyrah and Matthias]
So how can I assist you?
I don't wanna be alone so here I am
Will anyone miss you?
No, that's why I came here
So, tell me straight, miss
Can I stay here?

[Zyrah]
Call me Zyrah

[Zyrah, Matthias and encore]
I'm matthias
Matthias, you will be safe here

[Zyrah and encore]
Come this way, hon, you can meet Amos
You can meet the whole team
They get a little bit crazy, a little bit rowdy
So stay close to me
We're all misfits, we're all rejects, we all wish we were clean
But we're still standing and we're still family

[Zyrah and Matthias]
So how did you end up here?
When you're blind, people take advantage
Zyrah, I'm so sorry, dear
It's no fun, but I've learned how to manage
Just so you know, you've got king, blue, sky-colored eyes

[Zyrah]
What's blue like?

[Matthias]
It's like the pull in the tide

[Amos]
Zyrah, who's this?

[Matthias and Amos]
Call me Matthias
Bright eyes and polite and still probably gonna die (die? Oh)
In the first five seconds if you don't get some lessons
On how to be a leper
Hell, I'm already invested
'Cause I don't got a choice

[Amos]
You're right, you don't

[Amos, Matthias and encore]
You master leprosy or you go and get stoned
So come and meet the boys and we'll show you how it's done
Let us begin with lesson number one
