Plot
A break-in and murder at a New York City museum sparks an investigation by Interpol Agent Nathan Nelson. When he finds an ancient artifact at the crime scene, Nelson takes it home to conduct more research. A freakish combination of a lightning storm, a pet chameleon and the rune stone gives his daughter, Maggie, mystical powers to shape-shift her appearance at will which includes the ability to mimic other people and animals. Now Maggie must utilize her new-found super powers to solve the mysterious kidnapping of her father and to learn the secrets of an ancient, long-forgotten race of people.

Maggie Nelson: I've been an Interpol agent's daughter my whole life. I should've seen *that* non-answer coming.
Mosaic: You're probably a bit confused right now.::Maggie Nelson: [sarcastic] Golly gosh, ya think?
[Walking with his mother, a boy sees Maggie crawling up a wall]::Little Boy: Mom! That looks like Spider-Man. See? Up there on the building.
Maggie Nelson: This is pretty ridiculous. Contrary to popular belief, not every drama club geek has a phaser in her locker, and all 10 hours of Lord of the Rings on DVD.
Maggie Nelson: [scans gorilla's DNA] Wow, it's amazing how closely we're related. Couple of DNA strands different, I'd never be able to shave all the hair off my legs.
Manikin: A human who can wield our powers? Then the legend has come to life. The Chimeran Princess, at last!::Maggie Nelson: At your service.
Manikin: Anomaly or no, you are beneath my contempt, human.::Maggie Nelson: I'm an actress, Manny. I'm beneath everyone's contempt.
Mosaic: The fate of world hangs in the balance. I have finally pieced together his master plan.::Maggie Nelson: Master plan? You are in serious need of a script doctor, Mo.
Maggie Nelson: Dad was right. This whole acting thing suddenly feels empty and stupid, when you consider the world is at stake. I hope he's still alive to hear my apology.::Mosaic: Don't be so hard on yourself. Would you say farmers are stupid, or doctors, or the police?::Maggie Nelson: No, but they feed people. They heal people. The police protect us.::Mosaic: They feed and heal and protect their bodies, yes. But it is acting that feed their minds. Gives them hope. It takes them what is, and envelops them in what might be. Do not ever forget that.
Mosaic: Good student that you are, I'm sure you know about the origins of man - homo sapiens.

Last night in Konya a voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow – did you hear it too?
The oracle was written on a silver leaf
Last night I read the words – did you read them too?
Aah –
Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace
Nothing stops desire for the human beat
Last night was a rapture in the mosaic sky
Dropping shards of love, dropping shards of love
Aah-
Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace
Nothing stops desire for the human beat
I hunger for the cooling flame, I hunger for the infinite game
Last night in Konya a voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow – did you hear it too?
The oracle was written on a silver leaf
Last night I read the words – did you read them too?
Devour me, yeah devour me
Oh Precious heart, oh precious seed, oh precious life conceived
In a ring of fire, in a sleep of peace

I wanna paint your portrait in bright color
I wanna paint the lines in red and blue
I wanna make your eyes appear like starlings
Saying, "darling, I love you!"
I wanna set your face upon a landscape
I wanna show the love and toil and sweat
I wanna show your beauty like a crystal
In an all-night launderette
Chorus:
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And you are the shape on the left
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And this is the sun in the sky
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And makes the great divide
Between heaven and angels
And earth and men
I wanna show what lies beneath the surface
In little squares of purple, green and gold
So everyone can see their own reflection
In the mirror of your soul
I wanna paint your arrogance and beauty
I wanna paint the way you laugh at me
I wanna paint the world in which I see you
Fixed for all eternity
Repeat chorus
I wanna paint your portrait in bright color
I wanna paint your personality
I wanna show the world just how I see you
I wanna show the world just how I see you
You know that only I can guarantee you
Precious immortality
Precious immortality
Repeat chorus
Creeping, Stabbing, Heart so hollow,
Too much reality for you to swallow,
Wonder it is cruelty,
To capture it in all it's beauty,
You can break me, entertain me,
Take it all back for the sons,
You can leave me, Incinerate me,
Disfigure my mosaic,
Cure me, melt me, can someone please help me?
Walk away once I am fulfilled,
One day I will find the pieces of my mosaic,
Breathe,
Eroded,
Picking up the pieces (Picking up the pieces)
To put them back together
Staring at the faces (Staring at the faces)
That hope for something better
Wondering if I'll ever be the same
Wondering if I'll ever feel good again
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
Oh, I'm still free
You haven't got the best of me
Holding on to reason
But caught up in the moment
With nothing to belive in
Cause everyone is broken
Nothing will ever be the same
No, nothing will ever feel good again
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
You haven't got the best of me
Now you're seeing all your bridges burned
We're all waiting for it to be your turn
With your fingers and your wires crossed
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost... oh
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
Oh, I'm still free
You haven't got the best of me (the best of me)
Yeah, I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
Oh, I'm still free
So scatter me across the road
like pieces of broke turn signals
and dance with me between these dotted lines
as we try so hard to save our lives
and we pirouette until we fall
but this drowning dance won't save us at all
With so much effort and these miles to go,
bore on you shoulders with your loss of hope
and when judgement comes from high above,
confess your sins
confess your love
but before we sing
we must learn to speak
while we watch the fittest
trample the weak
Scatter me across the road
like pieces of broke turn signals
collect my pieces and rebuild me
as a mosaic for all to see
and the history books can make this change
but none of you will ever be the same
will ever be the same
Go through your motions
reciting every word
ignoring what we've seen
believing what you've heard
sing praise for all to hear
teach them to sing along
thankful your answer's here
and now we all belong
I am a mosaic
That was found at
The bottom of your garden
I'm just wondering but the crack begin to show
Look closely and then you'll know
Then you'll know
I am a beauty that once was
Tell the country nothing something special
But never out of your league of
Battle with this twice now
He came to me said
"heres how"
Spoke a single line
And we dance in our scene
I'll just die in your arms
And my life is complete
I am a mosaic
That was found when you didn't know any better
I am broken now (x3)
And image that is scattered
Around and (x5)
A million ways I, I
Didn't have to hurt (x3)
Fought away this twice
And now all we came to reason
"heres how"
Spoke a single line
We danced in our scene
I could just die in your arms and my life is complete
Craddled your legs
And took to your feet
You're the strongest love
I ever did meet
Spoke a single line
While we danced in our scene
You are a fine noise
I must take care for you
My heart my head on the ground
To speak of such things
As the sound of your wings
I have not the breath
In my brides eye
And by her side
And by her side
You are the noise
The elktooth chain
Lovely in the rivers mirror
You stand in my circle
The circle of my center here
It will take some time
To get to this point
Remember you are spinning
Around the room
I dare not rest
My hands on my chest
Vashene osh miashte means yes
Means yes
The branches all creek together
All out in the open
Inside a roaring figure on the wall
The streets are cobbled just for you
The silver sun in my cellar well too
I hear a mocking voice
