Twelfth Night (Original Public Works Cast Recording)
2018
[VIOLA] What the-? But I never gave her a ring So then, why is she giving me a ring? Oh, shit! What could Olivia see in me? In Cesario? Does Cesario have something I didn't have before And what do I see in Orsino? He's selfish, depressed, and clearly obsessed with Olivia But he's so damn dreamy And passionate too My brother is the one who always gets the girl And I'm the girl who's never had the chance to get the guy But now that I'm wearing the pants I'm in love with the guy And the girl loves me When they look, who do they see? Oh, disguise, you are the devil's blessing You've cast me in this strange new role Is this costume getting me wrong Or letting loose what's been in me all along? Do these clothes conceal or reveal my soul? Oh, disguise, which of us is in control? My brother is the one who everybody eyes I never understood it, 'cause he barely tries But now that I've walked miles in his shoes I finally see why he never seems to lose I feel so seen as a guy People move aside when I walk by I felt so veiled as a girl Invisible to the world It was always "look, don't touch" No, it didn't suit me much Why has this power in me never been given a chance? Is it as simple as putting on a pair of pants? Oh, disguise, you are the devil's blessing You've cast me in this wild new role Does this freshly fearless skin Fit me better than the one I've been in Am I finally shedding a well-worn shawl? Am I more myself now that I am not myself at all? If I'm a girl again Would he care what I have to say anymore? Or would I just be a prize for him to win? Would I even be a woman he'd adore? Would I be enough in my own skin? Or was the old me only a costume too? Who am I besides how I look to you? Who am I besides how I look to you? Who am I? Oh, disguise, you are the devil's blessing You've left me undressed and second-guessing how I've seen myself from both sides now Is it half of each bringing love my way Oh, disguise Maybe just one more day
