utau
a girl is singing over there
eyes red, skin vanilla fair
her hair is darker than the night
it glimmers in the studio light
a sidetail on it, nothing new
but it's how she likes it, I like it too
a bright red star shines on her chest
she seems quite different from the rest
but who's that singing over there?
eyes red, skin vanilla fair
her hair is black, but...not as much?
it's duller, with gentle touch
of shine. its got some mess and mange
and no sidetail? that's rather strange
a bright red star sits on her chest
it's just like hers, who would have guessed?
but someone else has joined the room!
her eyes red spirals, skin is newly
white, not like vanilla beans,
it's almost like a washing machine
her hair is like a void in space
with not a drop of shine to trace
any individual strands of hair
but when you feel it, it's like it's there
she has a side tail, but no star
her drool goes down onto the floor.
this one came phasing through the wall
she's like the first but something's wrong
her eyes are black, her skin's ok
she has no mouth, her star is gray
her hair is like a demon's cape
she wears all black like Severus Snape
(all the others wear white shirts)
she looks more like an ancient curse
the first realizes something profound
as all of the others walk around
she's part of a canon, and so are they
and most of them have much to say
and tears well up in both her eyes
she's finally being recognized
the others more or less surprised
they talk and hug and greet each other
some as sisters, some as brothers
the first one sings, the others watch
she points to each, and hears their songs
the dull-haired sings, her voice like rain
she seems familiar with this game
she's very gentle and smooth as sap
everyone liked hearing that.
spiral-eyes is next, she stands upright
her voice is like a lightning strike.
she sings a lot, and finds it fun!
the others dancing, one by one
gray-star leaves the rest in shock
because she has no mouth to talk
but her voice rose like evening wind
and soothe them from beginning to end
she finished after a good while
and found her mouth — a fanged smile
before they went their separate ways
they arranged a meeting place
shared their numbers, some facts
made their own special group chat
and when all was ready, they went home
each going off on their own
surely they'd meet and sing again
only question was where and when?
