[Intro]
This one goes out to all the historians
Who really know the true value of friendship
Hah, it's a beautiful thing

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
After one too many facts
I heard, "Who has made you cry like that?"
There stood Aphrodite, whеre I wept in the grass
With onе glimpse I was seduced
Her immortal face set my limbs loose
Two minds became one
She was second to none
Call me "nothing new" because she was the sun
[Verse 3]
"My heart is made of fear." I said
"Where have you been all of these years?"
She sat, said "I'm here now
My family just moved to town."
"Oh, haha, cool"
I had it wrong
She was never apart 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

[Verse 4]
We became my favourite craft
She taught me love, and this and 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 dropped 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 below so above
Eros stood lookin' impressed
And then we did what he does best
(Ooh!)
[Verse 5]
That day she made my bedroom holy
Satisfied my passion slowly
Flowers were in her hair
Thought I dreamt that she was there
I asked, "Why are you tryna kill me?"
She laughed and called me silly
"You're not gonna die, but gee, you're pretty when you cry"
Thought she said she loved me
But it sounded kinda odd
She said, "Somebody will remember us
Even after we're gone."

[Outro]
With one more stroke of luck
Sweet mother of fuck
I became a god
