wings of wax

Lot to address, I could write you a book, say it two times at the max, at the most
Forwards and backwards, I'm stone as a rook, shook me to core, and it shook me to bones
Give you my eyes if you taking a look, shake me awake, and I wake in my home
Even on islands at ends of the brooks, I bring it to places I roam
I can't believe this shit, honestly, some people live off acknowledgement
I live off bowls of stew pushed under wooden doors, this fuels the monuments
Ye build a wall, a frame around me, picture perfect
You zombies so fucking brainless, I can see through ya skin
God, like where, oh where, oh where I'm s'posed to begin
I'm building wings with riot, tested, gotta take for a spin
But they was pushing me to windowsill on needles and pins
You can bet that if I'm falling, I'd be doing a flip
I'd be increasing my speed, I hit the ground on my feet
If they were in my place, they'd hit the ground on they knees
Odds were 50-50, but I do what I please
I know I said a lot of things, at least I say what I mean

On the rooftops, sunlit surfaces, the closest we could get to flying
Swear I'm Icarus, rising, I melt this wax and I'm dying
They watched me fall and they smiled, I hit the ground and I crumpled
They saw me rise and they cried, these candles keeping me humble
Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior
Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands
Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior
Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands

Keystone tatted, mirror like to copy
Dungeons filled with the ugliest of impostors
Got the gumption, got the gall, It leaving me combusted
Thinking, don't what they thinking, we was facing dozens
I'm at my vantage point, me and me on godly fusion
All these timelines so conjoined like labyrinths that cast illusions, cast delusions
Captive is the minotaur inside, and how I pity him
We're so, so alike, we're so, so alike
If I left this island, would y'all wait for me? Be safe for me? Move carefully
'Less ye fare the same fate that was made for me
No paper trails above the trees, two pairs of wings for me and thee
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, as long as limbs will carry me
I come back with armies on your doorstep with heavenly archers
With such a swiftness, leave your floors swept
We've business to get to, you and I and the guillotine
Pulled my headsman from quarantine, we escorting those in power to the end of regime

On the rooftops, sunlit surfaces, the closest we could get to flying
Swear I'm Icarus, rising, I melt this wax and I'm dying
They watched me fall and they smiled, I hit the ground and I crumpled
They saw me rise and they cried, these candles keeping me humble
Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior
Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands
Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior
Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands
