lyrics
I'm envisioning a landscape of a Goddess, pale with paisley eyes
And she demands my sacrifice
I painted her from words like mine to help define my exquisite taste
But even she can't ease my pain
I'm just another casualty of conforming to normalities
It's really quite appalling that even she can't stop these tears from falling
Beauty is a beast that we all seek
some find it easier than others
And I'm breaking out these chains, I'm gonna strangle Aphrodite with my bare hands
Who opposes?
I wonder if she's still pretty in her final moments
Oh really
Who opposes?
I wonder if she's still pretty in her final moments
Aphrodite
I don't want you
Aphrodite
I don't love you
Aphrodite
I don't want you
Aphrodite
Why don't you go love yourself and leave everyone else alone
