Falling From Olympus

[Verse 1]
Woke up on the pavement
Crown cracked like a broken plate
Thunder in a paper cup
I raised my hand
But the sky looked away
Used to move the oceans
Now I just miss my train
Lightning in a bottle pocket
Loose change
Coffee
And shame
[Chorus]
I was a god once
Now I just bleed like you
I tried to climb back up
But I fell
I fell into you
If I could take it all back
I wouldn't
I choose this bruise
Let the temples turn to dust
I trade forever just to lose myself in you
[Verse 2]
You found me at the crosswalk
Cursing at a yellow light
Said
“You look like you lost something”
I said
“Yeah
Maybe my old life”
You laughed like breaking crystal
Soft
Then shattering clear
Touched my shaking fingers
Said
“Stay
You’re already here”
[Chorus]
I was a god once
Now I just bleed like you
I tried to climb back up
But I fell
I fell into you
If I could take it all back
I wouldn't
I choose this bruise
Let the temples turn to dust
I trade forever just to lose myself in you
[Bridge]
They call from the clouds
My forgotten name
Offer back the thunder
Offer back the flame (oh-oh)
I look at your hands
Ink on your skin
Stories I never wrote
But I want to live in
[Chorus]
I was a god once
Now I just breathe with you
I let the heavens fade
For a heartbeat I can’t lose
If I could take it all back
I’d still reach down
Not through
Let the constellations rust
I break my halo just to walk this world with you

rock, Wide-screen alt-rock blend: male vocals over swirling shoegaze guitars, airy synth pads, and distant choir. Intimate verses ride a pulsing, side-chained bass and sparse chamber strings; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies, fuzzed-out leads, and thunderous toms. Bridge drifts into ambient reverb haze, then returns with a triumphant but tender finale, strings and guitars rising together., electro, dreamo, nu gaze, ambient
