Hercules

Sara Bareilles · The Blessed Unrest [2013]

I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet

My imagination hadn't turned on me yet

I used to let my words wax poetic

But it melted a puddle at my feet now

It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic

I've turned to petrified past life baggage

I want to disappear and just start over

So here we are



And I'll breathe again...



CHORUS:

'Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be a warrior, please

Make me a Hercules



I've lost a grip on where I started from?

I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs

I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become

But I'd settle for little equilibrium

There is a war inside my heart gone silent

Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent

The issue I have now begun to see

I am the only lonely casualty



This is not the end though...



CHORUS x2



This is my darkest hour

A long road has led me out here

But I only need turn around to face the light

And decide flight or fight



'Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be...



CHORUS
