lyrics

made in a practice room with thos yung apple headphones

i sing it with a guitar and looper now, check out SLAP once my video comes out cause i just sang this for one of their sessions

I’ve called Persephone
by the name purse-a-phone
Greek goddesses aren’t what
you grab when leaving home

My phone’s inside my purse
purse-a-phone would like it there,
like Hades’ lair
I pray greek gods don’t see me,
butchering names and not believing
-----
but i’ll mispronounce and mis-accent for infinity
there isn’t much that you could do to stop me

six pomegranate seeds, winter in Greece
please don’t visit me, Persephone
-----
and I’ve said “protestant” just like pro-test-ant too
It’s not a word, let alone a church that you could send
donations to

who needs mistakes and stupid phrases that aren’t real anyway?
if I’d a known I’d mess up this many times,
then I’d shut up for the rest of my life
-----
but i’ll mispronounce and mis-accent for infinity
there isn’t much that you could do to stop me

six pomegranate seeds, winter in Greece
please don’t visit, purse phone.
-----
what if i (don’t)
let them know that I don’t (know)
because I (don’t)
even (know) anything
-----
but i’ll mispronounce and mis-accent for infinity
there isn’t much that you could do to stop me

six pomegranate seeds, winter in Greece
please don’t visit me, Persephenphone
