The Last Day of Summer

What do you do when the quest has ended?
What do you do when the battle's won?
So many questions left unanswered
So many things still left undone

What do you do when it's up to you to choose
Has something ended or begun?
Stay or go, pick one

Do I stay because it's safer?
Back to the home I left behind?
I could stay and train for a piece of the action
But what about peace of mind?
Ugh, what's my deal?
Why do I feel there's something left I still need to find?

Where do you go when it's over?
What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?

Attention, campers
It's the last day of summer
If you intend to make me miserable year-round, please inform us by sundown
Otherwise, the cleaning harpies will eat anyone who remains!
Perry Johanssen, this means you
It's Percy Jackson!
Whatever!

How come you don't go home?
I tried
Once
My dad couldn't deal with the monster attacks, and my stepmom couldn't deal with me
It's just asking for trouble
Sometimes family is worth the trouble
Believe me
I guess we both have a choice to make
Seaweed brain

Where do you go when it's over?
What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?

Luke!
If it isn't the big hero
I've barely seen you since I got back, you avoiding me?
Not at all
Tough last day?
I thought when I finished my quest, everything would make sense, but it doesn't
It's the last day of summer, but I don't feel like anything's over
I get it
My quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life
I came back changed, but the rest of camp was exactly the same

Chiron always says our parents made camp
As this safe magic space
The truth?
It's so they don't have to see us
They won't bother to show their face
It's time to make the world our own
Time someone put them in their place
Ares thought we were starting a war between the gods, but it was bigger than that
It's about wiping them out and taking our turn

You're the lightning thief
The Oracle warned you, "betrayed by a friend"
You set me up
You were trying to free Kronos
Why?
He promised me the power to defeat our parents
Yeah, he's using you to get back at the gods!
Good!

I've been here since I was a kid
I did everything they ever asked, yeah, I did
And for what?
You know this world will never be ours (what do you do)
As long as our parents rule over the stars (on the last day of summer?)

So I'll do anything (summer, summer)
I don't care if I hurt anyone (summer, summer, summer, summer)
It doesn't pay to be a good kid, a good kid, a good son (summer, summer, summer, summer, summer, summer)
(Summer, summer, summer)
The gods were never on our side (summer, summer, summer, summer)
So I think it's time we watch them fall (summer, summer, summer, summer)
And soon you'll see what I did (summer, summer, summer)
Soon there'll be no gods at all! (Summer, summer, summer, summer, summer, summer!)
