Song I Wrote: Achilles’ Heel

Achilles’ Heel

(She’s got) blue eyes and a shotgun smile
A face that leads you off to war
You never feel your Achille’s Heel
until she’s halfway out the door

She’s got a voice that’s gold – and stories have told
how she brought a nation to its knees
The gods cry – but men just die
it’s just another day out on the street

With Helen — There’s just no way of tellin’
What the world’s gonna do to you

She’s got secrets kept in her family chest
is it love or is it something else?
she’s tied in chains but the fact remains
she’s good at looking out for herself

she’s got the stars above — the sun and the moon
she’s got a face to launch a thousand ships
but inside it’s a house of lies
And everything’s starting to tip

With Helen — There’s just no way of tellin’
What the world’s gonna do to yo

And everybody knows
Deception only grows
the farther that you go from Home
