gabby mazza - athena lyrics
(verse 1)
you stand there, silver eyes sharp as glass
calling me out on the wars i can’t pass
your words cut slow, they find my skin
like a truth i’ve been drowning in
you wear your crown like a loaded gun
i’m the moth, you’re the f+cking sun
pull me close just to let me fall
like a queen who’s heard it all
(pre+chorus)
i’m not your soldier, but i fight for you
burn myself just to see it through
every scar writes your name in heat
every loss tastes a little sweet
(chorus)
athena, why you watching me break?
picking at my heart like it’s yours to take
you speak in riddles but i bleed in rhyme
god d+mn, we’re a mess out of ancient time
athena, you’re the storm i crave
and i’m still sinking while i try to be brave
in your temple, i’m a sinner, i confess
but you bless me only in my loneliness
(verse 2)
marble floors and a restless night
you tell the truth but it feels like spite
your hands are cold but they feel like home
you’re the wisest lie i’ve ever known
we drink the dark till the moon turns pale
your glory’s gold but my love’s gone stale
still i kneel in your shadowed grace
trade my soul just to see your face
(pre+chorus)
i’m not your savior, i’m your tragic play
burn my pages just to light your way
every fight leaves me wanting more
every wound keeps me at your door
(chorus)
athena, why you watching me break?
picking at my heart like it’s yours to take
you speak in riddles but i bleed in rhyme
god d+mn, we’re a mess out of ancient time
athena, you’re the storm i crave
and i’m still sinking while i try to be brave
in your temple, i’m a sinner, i confess
but you bless me only in my loneliness
(bridge)
maybe i’m cursed, maybe you’re divine
but f+ck if i can tell the signs
every prayer just burns my throat
every truth you tell still floats
somewhere between war and peace
you make me fight, then grant release
and i’m addicted to the way you reign
even when it’s all in vain
(final chorus)
athena, why you watching me break?
picking at my heart like it’s yours to take
you speak in riddles but i bleed in rhyme
god d+mn, we’re a mess out of ancient time
athena, you’re the storm i crave
and i’m still sinking while i try to be brave
in your temple, i’m a sinner, i confess
but you bless me only in my loneliness
(outro)
silver eyes, just turn away
let me live for one more day
but i know you’ll keep my name
as another piece of your endless game
