Apollo

The flower crowns
Lay on the ground
In a place where you
Can look them down
And watch them burn away
Like modest fame

Repent thy sins
And down some gin
The revelation is
That you can't win
Is this the end of our
Dance today?

And so you changed
To fit the chains
But it's not too late
To change again
One day you'll be a star
Love came too far

On the day my friend Apollo fell
I wished him well, but it felt like hell
Drowned in sound, I let him down
Disciples turned, his Bible burned

And you surely must've felt that too?
Or are you not the one I knew?
The tame and silent kid, all alone
With a cheap flip phone, all those years ago

I start to hear
Between the lines
Another voice
From another time
And then I see
The flatline

'Cause when I opened my heart to you
I thought you knew
But those feelings just weren't good enough for you
So you took your own heart too
And you tried to change your mind
And expect the world to move in normal time
So let's wipe the slate clean
And as you sip on a Dos Equis
You know you've reached the dream
