Sappho

This one goes out to all the historians

Who really know the true value of friendship

Hah, it's a beautiful thing

I used to wish that I were dead

Or at least somebody else instead

All I longed for was love

How unlucky I was

When he made a funeral pyre of my bed

Oh, giver of pain

I'd sigh her name

Comfort me or set my body aflame

But I didn't die a lover of sky

And now I know why

And it had nothing to do with that fuckin' guy

After one too many facts

I heard: Who has made you cry like that?

There stood Aphrodite, where I wept in the grass

With one glimpse, I was seduced

Her mortal face set my limbs loose

Two minds became one

She was second to none

Call me nothing new, because she was the Sun

My heart is made of fear, I said

Where you have been for all of these years?

She said: I'm here now. My family just moved the town

Oh, haha, cool

I had it wrong

She was never part of any pantheon

So at the dawn of my new world

Sat not an old God, but the new girl

Overcome, so undone

I was longing for a girl

We became my favorite craft

She taught me love, and this an that

Her heart is made of song

I'd lie still, she'd hum along

I desired, oh I craved

Ambrosia kisses made me brave

When the Moon and I said

She anointed my neck

I drop to my knees

Those eyes shook my chest

Your wants are my needs

Make it ichor, I bleed

I profess we lack but little deaths

You're my ally in love that's bellow so above

Eros stood lookin' impressed

And then we did what he does best

(Ooh!)

That day she made my bedroom holy

Satisfied my passion slowly

Flowers were in her hair

Though I dreamt that she was there

I asked: Why are you trying to kill me?

She laughed and called me silly

You're not gonna die, but gee, you're pretty when you cry

Though she said she loved me

But it sounded kinda odd

She said: Somebody will remember us

Ever after we're gone

With one more stroke of luck

Sweet mother of fuck

I became I God
