Ariadne
Ariadne
Grand daughter of the sun
7 young men
and 7 young maidens
Who will die today
Ariadne
Grand daughter of the sun
The thread to find your way out
The sword to kill
What will it be today
She always had to choose
It’s between two
Unhappy endings
Ariadne
Goddamn wife of someone
Puppet of the maze
Or the god of wine
What will it be today
Ariadne
Mother of someone
Bare his good children
Or leave your country in ruin
Better get running today
She always had to choose
It’s between two
Unhappy endings
Ariadne
granddaughter of the sun
Hang yourself
Or killed by the one you love
What will it be today
Ariadne
Granddaughter of the sun
You're always someone’s daughter
Or you’re never someone
What will you do
She always had to choose
It’s between two
Unhappy endings

the Greek woman I love the most
Isn’t a goddess on her own
Antigone
Come love me sweetly
You’ve got something between your two front teeth
I’ll keep my shoulder here if that means
You’ll stay
my withered hands of fate
Tell me something of mine
That’s not hidden in the ground to find
Oh Antigone
Cant bring me misery
Tell me something of yours
That hasn’t been touched by crows before
Oh Antigone
Couldn’t bring me suffering
The Greek woman they speak of the most
Slopply together, she has been sewn
Antigone come jump ship with me
You’ve got a bloody front of your left knee
Fighting for your family take a toll on thee
and if that means you’ll stay
Alive for a bit anyway

Greek Tragedy
I'm no tragic hero
I don't know what the gods advise
You’re no tragic flaw
We sure see so black and white
We suffered one small catastrophe
We sure wouldn't survive
Our own greek tragedy
I'm not the chorus
I didn't suffer complete ruin
You didn't fall victim to your arrogance
We don't see our view reflected in the lines
Of our own greek tragedy
We wouldn't survive
We might have had an error in judgment
But no weakness in our character
Our wins were sure as hades not abundant
We just don't know what we're after
And there's no big catastrophe
Thank gods we don't have to live
Our own greek tragedy

Got a tattoo
Cuz i was bored the other day
I think i have a hard time Considering forever
You were only here
For about two weeks
I was ready to jet off with you
To somewhere in the Aegean sea
My days feel so quick, heart beats so fast
My focus is short, gotta make it last
People keep leaving, im staying half mast
Surely life can't be that long
I agreed to live in this house another year
I have a hard time, thinking into the future
Signing up for the future
One foot out the door
You'll only be here, till just after christmas
I was ready to hold hands with you
and make some damn good promises
