Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Epic Cut Song [Elpenor and Odysseus]

{ELPENOR}
Maybe we should leave him

{ODYSSEUS}
What?

{ELPENOR}
Look at how he sleeps
Look at how he’s smiling
It’s the first real one in weeks!

You don’t know him like I do
Which is why you’d be perplexed
If you knew how he would hide the truth
That deep down he was depressed

{ATHENA}
Don’t let him convince the other men

{ODYSSEUS}
So what? Are we supposed to abandon
Those who are hurting? Desert them?
Leave ‘em out to burn when words are not working?

{ELPENOR}
No, we support them howеver they need
We lеt them be happy and free

{ODYSSEUS}
It’s not my job to make him happy!
It’s my job to bring him home!

{ELPENOR}
How do you know he hasn’t found it?
We shouldn’t make him have to go!

{ODYSSEUS}
We’ll maybe I’m a monster!
Maybe I’m in the wrong!
Maybe I’m the problem
That’s been hiding all along!

I’m a slave to my ambition!
A prisoner of my drive!
And I have got this mission
And I cannot compromise!

And you’ll just have to cope with that
