Callie Moore - Antigone Lyrics
Antigone what were you thinkingSometimes it’s fine not to be selflessOr to sacrifice everythingFor a better causeSometimes a cause not quite as nobleIs the cause that can save youPersephone the winter’s comingI know those robes never suited youBut just try to love himIt’s alrightI know your innocence betrayed youYou’ve been stolen by the shamelessYou’ve been forced to have a darker sideAnd baby if I seem a little distantI’m just trying to connectWith the voices in my headThe voices of the deadPhilosophical heroines from which I’m supposed to learnWhat really is my tragic flawAnd how can I discernAnd Sophocles in the end what does it all really meanAtalanta run faster try deny your destinyDon’t wear your pride of your sleeveFor heaven’s sakes girl we can see it and so can heHe’s just hiding in the corner with his arrow at your heartAnd love usually wins at this partAphrodite, Venus tell me is it really worth itJust to pass your time away you torture all our heartsShe doesn’t love himShe see’s right through your little gameBut now it’s just too lateA Trojan war’s been wagedAnd baby if I seem a little distantI’m just trying to forget all those words that you saidInstead I’ll hear the dead philosophical heroinesAs they teach me about life how to thrive, how to surviveAnd when that fails how to fightAnd Sophocles in the end does it really come down meAntigones are you really just another men’s story of me
