even gods cry - the turtlenecks lyrics

looking over mount olympus
revenge is in my soul
a mere misunderstood victim
with no one and nowhere else to go

now i’m headed for the mountain peak
destined to stop this losing streak
destroying all that’s in my path
my face is ashen, i need a bath

they used to call me captain
i’m no stranger to spartan laws
but merely following orders
only added to my flaws

like a hobo on a holiday
i haven’t got a home
like a parrot on a tricycle
i’m feeling so alone
i’m crying on the inside
for that which i once had
folks don’t see me for who i really am
the god of sad

these blades say stay away
if you want to know what’s best
a chip put on my shoulder
and my anger to the test
cuz, i’m one vicious mama-jama
it’s known around the hood
i k!lled my very own flesh and blood
oh, that ares bicht punked me good

i’m hulking out big time
and my rage i’ll freely vent
to hades with serenity
and anger management
k!lling is no sport for me
it’s long since lost it’s thrill
but when i check my to-do list
it says, pick up eggs and k!ll

there’s a secret to my happiness
tucked inside that box
but need i look inside myself
to open up let my cheer unlock
zeus he was my father
but no joy did that bring
never taught me to grow or ride a bike
we had a cats in the cradle thing
in my mind’s eye i laid down my sword
i’m a k!ller but more than that
i can sing of love and sunshine days
betcha didn’t know that i could scat
dobadedaba badobadedaba badobadedada
i had no friends alone am i
a testament that even gods can cry.

you mortals no not the toll it takes
to be the god of war
it’s nothing your high school guidance counselor
would ever steer you toward
blood is all i’ve known in life
my violence knows no low
even as i write this song
i’m drinking wine from a human skull

all this carnage i have wrought
it’s no good for my image
sometimes i’ll just slay a goat
merely for a scrimmage
you don’t want to cheese me off
or think you can oppose me
i’ll rip your head off with my hands
how’s that for a trophy?

so i ride to face my destiny
to claim that which is mine
and yes i’m riding a unicorn
it was the only thing i could find
i’ve lost track of why i k!ll
it’s just something that i do
i should get in touch with my inner child
but i’d probably just k!ll him too

zeus, almighty zeus
i call upon you for an answer
why must i be forced to k!ll?
i really wanted to be a dancer
father i beg of you
take me for all i’m worth
these s-x games are not who i am
they bring merely superficial worth
being an angel of death is hard
not a life that most would pick
sure it gets me lots of tail
but that gets old surprisingly quick
thinking maybe i’ll get a cat
to show my softer side
that could work but failing that
i’ll bludgeon my p.r. guide

sometimes i feel that life’s a game
and i’m a character being played
with multiple levels, power-ups
and unlock-able easter eggs
if i should come across you
and k!ll you ’til you’re dead
please don’t take it personally
it’s just, there’s a circle above your head

oracle please show me the way
to get where i want to go
spin gold from this bale of hay
and get me my own reality show
for me k!lling’s the only way
and death my only drug
but even a man who’s bathed in blood
sometimes needs love
