lyrics

Yes, it’s me!

It’s me
Of course, it’s me
The one
Who gets it done
Don’t you see?
It had to be

You all turn away
When I gut the fish
Then you cry hooray
Once it’s on a dish
That’s how we do this

Yes, we
Yes, you and me
I have always cared for you
I’ll always do
All these things for you
All these things that you
Are not prepared to do

All I ever did
All the sacrifice
All I ever hid
Trying to be nice
Everything for you (Time)
But in any case
I always knew (To put this girl in check)
You’d throw it in my face
You’re so controlling (This irritating speck)

Sorry, little bird
Time to wring your neck

Leave her alone
She’s not where the disease is
You want a tumor?
Hello? Cut out me, sis
Won’t get a fight here
No shining knight here
I’m only here for the dance
And I don’t wanna dance
With blood on my hands

I know you’re feeling shame
But this is too much

None of you see!

So, it’s down to me
It’s fine
I’ll take all the blame
I’ll take all the pain

Think you see it all
You see just a scrap
You wanna make the call?
You need to hold the map
You cloistered children

It’s time for you
And all who stand with you
Yes, you too
Form a queue
Time to follow through

Cause and effect
You feed this thing more blood
You’ll feel regret
I know you know I’m right
You feel it deep inside
If I stop now
Olympus is wrecked
Cause and effect

I only want to dance with you
What a sweet eternity

Athena, here’s one more
You’ll need to cut through
Grace, you’ve shown me
How the world should be

I wasn’t a monster to you
And now
I’m not a monster to me

Of course, it’s me
Because of me
This prophecy
Would come to be

My Olympus is gone
And you’re all looking on
At a stranger
Wearing my face
My Olympus is gone
Now I’m some other one
Just how long has
She been in place?

Give it time, you’ll find
Even an island drifts
You don’t notice, cause it only moves
In teeny, tiny shifts

There was a voice in me that shouted,
“Athena, you be strong.”
“Be strong, no cost is great enough”
It was wrong
I was wrong

I was wrong and I now I don’t know what the right thing is
I leave it up to you what to do with this

All these years
You ruled this place
I think it’s time
You made some space
Enough of you (It’s overdue)
Step away
Let it go
Fresher hands
Should steer this boat
And sail it to
Something new
