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
