Cedalion
In Greek mythology, Cedalion or Kedalion (Classical Greek Κηδαλίων) was a servant of Hephaestus in Lemnos. According to one tradition, he was Hephaestus's tutor, with whom Hera fostered her son on Naxos to teach him smithcraft. Kerenyi compares him to the Cabeiri, to Chiron, and to Prometheus.
The more common story of Cedalion tells of his part in the healing of Orion, who came to Lemnos after he was blinded by Oenopion. Orion took up Cedalion and set the youth upon his shoulders for a guide to the East. There the rays of Helios restored Orion's sight.
Sophocles wrote a satyr play Cedalion, of which a few words survive. Its plot is uncertain, whether the blinding of Orion by Oenopion and the satyrs on Chios, probably with Cedalion offstage and prophesied, or the recovery of Orion's sight on Lemnos. It has also been suggested that the subject may be Hephaestus's fostering; or the instructions given to the blinded Orion by satyrs in Cedalion's service. One of the surviving lines suggests extreme drunkenness; Burkert reads this fragment as from a chorus of Cabeiri.

Won't Break Me
by: StellinaI won't let you break me, baby [x2]
[Verse 1:]
The other night I knew
That girl was checkin you
Thought I had no clue (but I knew)
Her freckle flappin eyes
They took you by surprise
And I was the one who got all your lies
[Chorus:]
After so long I've had you
Didn't think I dare to do
The dirty that you do
The dirty that you do
And night after night
The screamin and the fights
Baby, I'll be alright (baby, I will be alright)
Go ahead play me, boy
Just don't be waiting up at night (at night)
You won't break me, baby
When will you see, boy
I'm just too grown fight (to fight)
(I won't let you break me, baby)
You can't break me, baby
[Verse 2:]
Still remembering your call
All about some dirty note
That quote, "I want you"
Still sitting down to cry
Instead of calling to ask you why
I wrote a note back that said goodbye
[Chorus:]
After so long I've had you
Didn't think I dare to do
The dirty that you do
The dirty that you do, baby
And night after night
The screamin and the fights
Baby, I'll be alright (baby, I will be alright)
Go ahead play me, boy
Just don't be waiting up at night (at night)
You won't break me, baby
When will you see, boy
I'm just too grown fight (to fight)
(I won't let you break me, baby)
You can't break me, baby
[Hook:]
Got my girls up on the phone
They can tell just by my tone
I'm all grown and I'll be fine all on my own
Took a shower and got dressed
To the open I looked passed
And spotted our past
[Chorus:]
After so long I've had you
Didn't think I dare to do
The dirty that you do
The dirty that you do, baby
And night after night
The screamin and the fights
Baby, I'll be alright (baby, I will be alright)
Go ahead play me, boy
Just don't be waiting up at night (at night)
You won't break me, baby
When will you see, boy
I'm just too grown fight (to fight)
(I won't let you break me, baby)
You can't break me, baby
Go ahead play me, boy
Just don't be waiting up at night (at night)
You won't break me, baby
When will you see, boy
I'm just too grown fight (to fight)
