Apollo I cried to you
And I never heard back so I never knew
Til I made my way to the golden gates
And the shame in your eyes just gave you away
Poseidon's hands on the back of my neck
I can smell the vineyards in the mass of his breath
Hell-flame nicked the back of my ears
As wax coats the clouds and fostered my tears
Oh I loved you so
With my heart and soul
And you cast me aside
With the rest of your woes
Offer me to thе sea
Claim he's bettеr for me
But you've never been selfish
Or ignored my grief
Apollo you lied to me
And I believed you from your sky-bound seat
Wish to divorce your godly corpse
Stretch out your bones and join me on the shore
Coax me out to no man's land
And watch me drown as I reach out a hand
Scorched my skin in the wake of our sins
And call me what you will but I'd do it again
Don't save the feathers that fall at your feet
Cause I'll be damned if they're the last you'll see
Just let them melt above the clouds
Eventually they'll cool and make their way to the ground
Apollo I cried to you
And you used to answer
Wish then I'd knew
How the sunflower got his name
Wasted his whole life playing our little game
But there's a difference, you see
Between the dove, sun, and sea
Your grave ends in the sky
Ours the ground and the sea
Cause I'm a mortal and you're a god
But I lack the morals and you the bravado
So I'll make love to death
And then I'll call us even when we meet again
If only meant to show I'm hell bent
On seeing you before the sky dims
I'll reap Poseidon's hands from around my neck
Cause the vineyard smell don't stop in his breath
The scorch of my skin where the salt got in
Don't rub me right like the rest of our sins
So once again I'll come
With water-filled lungs
To your side
To chase despair on your tongue
I told you that once
And you said it was dumb
But you seem to forget
Who fell in love with the sun
Oh
And I never heard back so I never knew
Til I made my way to the golden gates
And the shame in your eyes just gave you away
Poseidon's hands on the back of my neck
I can smell the vineyards in the mass of his breath
Hell-flame nicked the back of my ears
As wax coats the clouds and fostered my tears
Oh I loved you so
With my heart and soul
And you cast me aside
With the rest of your woes
Offer me to thе sea
Claim he's bettеr for me
But you've never been selfish
Or ignored my grief
Apollo you lied to me
And I believed you from your sky-bound seat
Wish to divorce your godly corpse
Stretch out your bones and join me on the shore
Coax me out to no man's land
And watch me drown as I reach out a hand
Scorched my skin in the wake of our sins
And call me what you will but I'd do it again
Don't save the feathers that fall at your feet
