Antigone what were you thinking
Sometimes it's fine not to be selfless
Or to sacrifice everything
For a better cause
Sometimes a cause not quite as noble
Is the cause that can save you
Persephone the winter's coming
I know those robes never suited you
But just try to love him
It's alright
I know your innocence betrayed you
You've been stolen by the shameless
You've been forced to have a darker side
And baby if I seem a little distant
I'm just trying to connect
With the voices in my head
The voices of the dead
Philosophical heroines from which I'm supposed to learn
What really is my tragic flaw
And how can I discern
And Sophocles in the end what does it all really mean
Atalanta run faster try deny your destiny
Don't wear your pride of your sleeve
For heaven's sakes girl we can see it and so can he
He's just hiding in the corner with his arrow at your heart
And love usually wins at this part
Aphrodite, Venus tell me is it really worth it
Just to pass your time away you torture all our hearts
She doesn't love him
She see's right through your little game
But now it's just too late
A Trojan war's been waged
And baby if I seem a little distant
I'm just trying to forget all those words that you said
Instead I'll hear the dead philosophical heroines
As they teach me about life how to thrive, how to survive
And when that fails how to fight
And Sophocles in the end does it really come down me
Antigones are you really just another men's story of me
Sometimes it's fine not to be selfless
Or to sacrifice everything
For a better cause
Sometimes a cause not quite as noble
Is the cause that can save you
Persephone the winter's coming
I know those robes never suited you
But just try to love him
It's alright
I know your innocence betrayed you
You've been stolen by the shameless
You've been forced to have a darker side
And baby if I seem a little distant
I'm just trying to connect
