Athena's Growing Heart

from My Heaven by Hello Whirled

/

lyrics

gut swig from the morning rum
she asks herself if that's really what she's here for
retreats back into bed
and ruffles the pink strands on her head
is she ready to live this same old life
corner to corner, knife by knife
is it worth it to live on gut repeating
or can Athena's heart start beating?

the love is there, she knows for sure
but can she bring it to herself to find it anymore?
eternally worrying if the ship sailed
but there's still hope for this ex-"war whore" to prevail

the west side looks brighter today
more yellows, less gray
did the optimism bloom the world?
or is her vision just that curled?
around the block to keep it rolling
fully aware of where she's strolling
another light to let her shine
another day for a brand new time

the love is there, she knows for sure
a new horizon to become someone pure
built a new ship when the last one sailed
letting the other cheek prevail
