Zeus

I've been here
I haven't changed in all these years
I've been waiting
With my hopes and my fears
How long the journey's been 
I don't know, I can't say when
I'm lost in time...


You were Zeus
The sun rose for me in your eyes
Storms came
They clouded you with lies
You cast me out beneath the sea
And here I've stayed 
Until it's time.


Some ships I've let sail, while others crashed apart
It's hollow in the veil where once you kept my heart
She can never hold her breath the way I've learned to be
I own this slow cold life
Now I own the sea.


You say I've changed, you're here
The light is in your eyes
With your command I understand I'll have blue skies
How that girl would have loved to hear those words at last
But she's gone through time...


You want what you want but only when you need it
Sitting on your cloud, fitting me in
You just can't see it.
I can have my heart back 
If I take the world as you say
I've loved you so for years--
A million miles away.


So here I'll stay
Beneath the sea
It becomes me...
She's gone this time.
