I just drew a little microphone because you know she
likes to perform and likes to sing and stuff he already knows his body knows his mind knows
that he actually feels safest as Isis on stage and so him even just looking at the butterfly
that he drew with the mic can be very powerful to him when you look at that butterfly does it
make you feel good yeah it does yeah cool it out I do love the fact that I do feel safe when I'm
is this rain she's like my superhero so how do you feel going bac
k to the so you think you can drink
