i linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story
A young girl with raven hair stands outside a temple. She leans on her broom and shields her eyes and scans the skies. She eventually begins sweeping again. She hears the sound of footsteps on the steps of her temple and hears the whisperings of girls. "Look at her. She thinks she's better than everyone else." "Yeah, Hino-san thinks she's so great because she can read fire. I bet it's fake." "Totally. And what is up with those stupid birds she's always talking to? Freaky." They giggle and walk away as Hino Rei's face flushes a bright red.
in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me
Uniform on. Run to get shoes. Out the door. The morning progresses as always. Walk with head down. Avoid eye contact. Ignore whispers. She sits at her desk and takes out her notebook, ready to jot notes only for the class. Bell rings. Grab lunch. Eat quietly. Ignore laughter. Don't cry. She always eats her lunch in solitude, thinking of the lyrics to her newest song. After school. Walk home. Head down. Ignore whispers. But she can't ignore them. They bore into her like a million knives.
don't say i'm out of touch
with this rampant chaos - your reality
i know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare i built my own world to escape
Rei walks into the temple, ready for a fire reading she has been asked to do. Instead of the usual elderly person sitting there, she sees that it is two girls from her school. She takes a deep breath and does their reading, feeling their eyes shooting at her, feels their silent laughter as she chants. She tells them that the fire says they're both in trouble of a young death. That shakes them up, but it's a lie. They will both live long and happily. Disgusting.

She sits in her room, in front of her keyboard. Rei is determined to win this song-writing contest, to prove to THEM that she can do it. That she can do anything. She puts pen to paper and writes at the top "I Am More Than You See". Yes, this will work. The words and music flow together until the piece is completed.
swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light
Rei stands outside, sweeping the walk to the temple. Those girls with their jeers walk by again, but this time, she holds her head up and looks at them so they know she can hear them. They will not bother her again.
