"Library Of Alexandria" lyrics
Janani K. Jha Lyrics
We'll never see the library of Alexandria
Before everything burned
You know, there was a temple, a golden monument to Zeus lost in Olympia
They don't know what for
Each of the seven ancient wonders have gone under
Lost to thunder, simply plundered
Nothing left but bones and dust
Leagues of ambitious men of riches lie in ditches
Next to ruins that they'd wished would keep their legacies from rust
I have spent my life with a chisel
Trying to chip away, trying to change up fate, make a name
It would look the same when it came down, down
I was always taught to not give up
That I fight the tide when it's getting high; I'm getting tired
No one bats an eye if I drown, drown
I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
Mm. I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
Before everything burned
You know, there was a temple, a golden monument to Zeus lost in Olympia
They don't know what for
Each of the seven ancient wonders have gone under
Lost to thunder, simply plundered
Nothing left but bones and dust
Leagues of ambitious men of riches lie in ditches
Next to ruins that they'd wished would keep their legacies from rust
I have spent my life with a chisel
Trying to chip away, trying to change up fate, make a name
It would look the same when it came down, down
I was always taught to not give up
That I fight the tide when it's getting high; I'm getting tired
No one bats an eye if I drown, drown
I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
Mm. I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
I don't want a masterpiece, I just want to be enough for me
