Lyrics by Indi Riverflow

Here I am your tragic hero
Kicking rocks down at ground zero
Oh, I feel a little bit like Nero
Fiddling while my village burns
But I really had to finish that solo
For whomever it may concern

{Chorus}
Oh, I know I’m courting disaster
Hell, that’s half the adventure
Until they cure human nature
I’m split in two loving both of you

When Eris asked young Paris
For what will you be embarrassed?
Is it power or wit or lady’s love?
He chose the loveliest on Earth or above
And for that Troy did not last
And all of Lydia faded into the past

Now then and tomorrow
Playing tug of war with my soul
To the left the edge of a fifty-foot ledge
Plunging to piranha-filled fishbowls
On the right a wasteland of quicksand
Bordering on forests of smoldering coals

{Chorus}

I never wanted to start a war
Oh no, that’s not what love is for
But restless hearts aren’t secure
And they always yearn for more
Love than sits in the reservoir

Skating the surface of frozen lakes
How much breaking can we take?
This ice is brittle thin and weak
It might shatter if I so much as speak
Fancy footwork gets swiftly undone
When the ground melts under the sun

It sucks at the center of the centrifuge
Rinsing off the subterfuge
Making my peace with old and new
Looks like the only thing to do
For I’m running out of refuge
And there’s no delay to stay the deluge
