marijke perry - i'm sorry trojans :( lyrics

(hi, tried the best i could. if you know how to do this properly, please fix this up lol)

[verse one]
when i was in high school
i read the odyssey
and the iliad
aeneid
lots of greek and roman tales
i thought they were laughable
the people not the poems
what kind of person sees
a freaky wooden horse and doesn’t bail?

but i am older now and so much more mature
and since i finished college i’ve had time for self reflection
i’d like to apologize
for all thе trojans i insulted
i should have realizеd the horse
was just a misdirection

[pre+chorus]
snakes
i forgot about snakes
i forgot that the guy who tried to stab the horse
pretty soon after
got brutally k!lled by
snakes
fifty foot long snakes
coming from the ocean
that’s an omen
jesus christ i wouldn’t want to know ’em
[chorus]
i’m sorry trojans for the times that i made fun of you
can’t make good choices if you’re cursed by the gods
it’s nigh impossible to figure out what they want you to do
and if it’s horse vs snake i’ll take the horse’s odds

[]
let’s talk psychological
the people on that beach
just saw a man get bit to death along with his two little boys
in times mythological
i find that ample reason
to follow through on any action that the dead tried to avoid
[]
if someone said
god strike me dead
and then got hit by lightning
what would you think about the claims that they just made?
i know that there’s context
and that it’s complicated
but there is little time for nuance in these {i can’t tell}

[pre+chorus]
so snakes
how to forget about snakes
how to forget that part i read ten times in latin
swear to god i studied classics
snakes
or was it one snake?
you would think i would know my snake specifics
since i put them in my lyrics
[chorus]
i’m sorry trojans for the times i made fun of you
at least you knew how many snakes that you saw
it’s hard to act right when the gods give you these contradicting clues
i’d take a wooden horse over any scaly maw

[bridge]
if i were orpheus i’d turn
become a lesson to be learned
why should i trust the god of death?
my story hasn’t happened yet
and i am not more wise
than icarus up in the sky
i’d have given anything to see the sun
so what’s a pair of wings?
and i know this is comedy
but sometimes it is odd to me
that we lack any empathy
for cautionary tales
sometimes heroes aren’t brave
sometimes they had an early grave
but the last folks they save
are those who learned from how they
failed

[chorus]
i’m sorry trojans for the times that i made fun of you
now i won’t let a single horse in my house
it’s just good practice even if the horse isn’t full of little dudes
cause when it’s you plus horse even two’s a crowd
[outro]
i’m sorry trojans for the times that i made fun of you
can’t make good choices when you’re cursed by the gods
it’s nigh impossible to figure out what they want you to do
and if it’s horse vs snake i’d take the horse’s odds
oh oh ooh oh
