Lesches
Lesches (Greek: Λέσχης) is a semi-legendary early Greek poet and the reputed author of the Little Iliad. According to the usually accepted tradition, he was a native of Pyrrha in Lesbos, and flourished about 660 BC (others place him about 50 years earlier). Proclus refers to him as "Lesches of Mytilene". Mytilene and Lesbos are names of the same Greek island used interchangeably.
The lost epic Little Iliad, in four books, took up the story of the Homeric Iliad, and, beginning with the contest between Telamonian Ajax and Odysseus for the arms of Achilles, carried it down to the feast of the Trojans over the captured Trojan Horse, according to the epitome in Proclus, or to the Fall of Troy, according to Aristotle. Some ancient authorities ascribe the work to a Spartan named Cinaethon, and even to Homer.

Yesterday Feels Like A Year
by: LashesI've had some idea
Some things would work out.
I guess things have worked out,
At least so far.
Time moves by,
Just been waiting
Or more like waiting
News I thought far.
Something isn't right,
It just don't make sense.
Nothing feels for real,
I'm tired of past tense.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And it looks like I'm still standing here.
I hope I don't sound insincere at all.
What are you taking me for?
Don't you know by now?
I've been playing.
The things you've been saying
Don't get me down.
Something isn't right,
It's all just pretense.
Nothing feels for real,
I'm tired of past tense.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And it looks like I'm still standing here.
I hope I don't sound insincere at all.
Don't you know about what I've been trying since my birth?
You think that your dollar signs can make me what I'm worth.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And it looks like I'm still standing here.
I hope I don't sound insincere at all.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And I'm glad that I'm still standing here.
