Hey there Aphrodite, do you hear my prayer? I bet that you do now that I’m standing next to you Your almighty Olympus is now all ruins Hephaestus was a curse, so you went with Ares But they’re both under these ashes You’re looking almost unreal with that white-wear And a cigarette, lipstick-stained Oh, dearest Aphrodite, do you really think Ares cared? All he did was to lay you in bed And whisper promises that can’t be kept I’ve been offering you pearls, swan and dove feathers So you can build your own heavens But you’re crying anemone flowers and diamonds You wouldn’t dare to look my way Too scared to show a mortal you went astray You’re vengeful and so full of wrath No wonder why you loved Ares so much You’re both wars burying other gods six feet under ground You can romanticize that man as much as you want But it wasn’t your name that was on his lips when he died Your presence lures people in and it gets alarming Your temper’s short and it ruins your charming Only a god can properly love a goddess So what are you doing amongst these mortal men? I know you’re walking around just to turn heads Does it make you feel better about yourself? You’ll stay here forever, they’ll rot in grave I was told you’re beauty and grace But I think you’re more vain Than anyone else I’ve ever met When Psyche’s around you put your guards up Too scared to let a more beautiful woman show up Oh, my Aphrodite, you petty deity Playing around with people’s hearts spontaneously But at the end of the day, you’re lying alone Your pomegranates got stained with mold You haven’t touched them in so long I took them from Medusa’s hands to show my devotion to you You turned your head, is anything enough for you? Your eternal youth seems more like a curse, childish as you are And what can I do, human as I am Standing here with you on these ruins There’s absolutely nothing to do to make you happy I’ve been worshiping you for quite a while But you ****** more life out of me than a vampire

Hey there Aphrodite, do you hear my prayer? I bet that you do now that I’m standing next to you Your almighty Olympus is now all ruins Hephaestus was a curse, so you went with Ares But they’re both under these ashes You’re looking almost unreal with that white-wear And a cigarette, lipstick-stained Oh, dearest Aphrodite, do you really think Ares cared? All he did was to lay you in bed And whisper promises that can’t be kept I’ve been offering you pearls, swan and dove feathers So you can build your own heavens But you’re crying anemone flowers and diamonds You wouldn’t dare to look my way Too scared to show a mortal you went astray You’re vengeful and so full of wrath No wonder why you loved Ares so much You’re both wars burying other gods six feet under ground You can romanticize that man as much as you want But it wasn’t your name that was on his lips when he died Your presence lures people in and it gets alarming Your temper’s short and it ruins your charming Only a god can properly love a goddess So what are you doing amongst these mortal men?
