Icarus

Close my eyes try to block out all of the trivial
Stimuli but my poor brain clings to the visceral
Don't know why it's a hopeless cause, it's irrational
Drawn toward flames by forces that are unstoppable

I resist but I'm compelled
I can't break free of the spell
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy

I get burnt I don't seem to learn it's a travesty
Fly too close to the Sun than is strictly good for me
Need the heat to feel complete, but it's ethereal
Risk it all, well the cost is just immaterial

It's a dangerous pursuit
Got no backup parachute
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy

Strange attraction
Chain reaction

Fall apart well I knew this was a scenario
Crashing down to the terra firma below me now
I don't mind I have flown high, done the impossible
Lived a life that was so much more than the nominal

It's a dangerous pursuit
Got no backup parachute
High above the mortal things
Feel the wind beneath my wings
I resist but I'm compelled
I can't break free of the spell
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy

Strange attraction
Chain reaction
Strange attraction
Chain reaction
