Golden Fleece

G                    C        
I got sad for like a goddamn week
D                             G
And Helle lost her grip on the golden fleece
C                             G
The water met her and she saw him fly
D                                G           G7
Because Phrixus didn't stop to say goodbye

C                      G
Oh I don't want to fall all alone
D                                G
Though Icarus smiled as he dropped like a stone
C                             G
Our fathers tell and we will not hear
D                            G
The wax burns our skin, the wind in our ears

I wake from the dream where I am a boy
My skin is rough my eyes filled with joy
Now I'm softer and I'm filled with sand
Moses never set foot in the promised land

Because I don't want to fall asleep all alone
With my fingers curled round an unhewn stone
And Icarus was singing so clear
Until silence was all his father could hear

And they finally got me on anti-psychotics
And Helle is drowning in 20 feet of water
But I'm on land and I'm feeling fine
Staining my teeth on dark bitter wine

Cause I don't want to fall down a hole
With my fingers slipping on a falling stone
Icarus he was somebody's dear
But Helios carries a bitter spear        

Song Notes

Apparently we also put this one on here as a bonus track?? Fuck us if we know why we released this twice, but idk and who cares! It's on two albums so sue us.
