ATHENS

Athens, swear I can sleep no more
I’m gonna keep awake until the morn
When the flashing of dawn
cuts these heart and walls
like a greeting

Athens, got thoughts around my head
I filled my sheets with writings painted red
But they’re not to be read,
they’re my sweet hardware
against Nothing

Through all this cigarette smoke
my independence flies
like a kite across eternal Grecian skies
It’s getting hard to say if I’m alright
but I’m not even hurt, sweet Athens

Athens, the signs are buzzing loud
still wading in the darkness anyhow
Someone wants you out,
but I know you’re bound
to be born again

Sitting on this balcony my friends and I
found a way to leave the loneliness behind
The flag of independence’s flying high
I wish that you could hear, sweet Athens

Oh Athens, and the ship will slide and roar
on a sea that’s got the color of my soul
Tell me so long ’cause it’s time to go home
sweet Athens

Athens, I swear I can't sleep anymore
I will stay awake until morning
Until the glimmers of dawn
tear this heart and these walls
like a greeting

Athens, I have thoughts in my head
I filled my sheets with writings in red ink
But they're not there to be read
they're just my sweet weapons
against the Nothingness

Through this cigarette smoke
my independence flies
like a kite through eternal Greek skies
It's getting hard to tell if I feel good
but I'm not even hurt, sweet Athens

Athens, the signs buzz loudly
somehow they still make their way through the darkness
Someone wants to cut you off
but I know you are destined
for rebirth

Sitting on this balcony my friends and I
have found a way to forget the sadness
The flag of independence flies high
I wish you could feel it, sweet Athens

Oh Athens, and the ship will slip roaring
on a sea that has the color of my soul
say goodbye to me, it's time to go home
sweet Athens
