The Icarus Phenomena
You know something
A lot of people aren't who they say they are
And the craziest part is, it's not their fault
I think we all have these delusions
Of what we claim to be, what we wanna be, who we think we are
And it's really not our fault, it's just programmed into us
We have programmed delusions of grandeur
And I don't know if that's good or bad
Because it does, there's a
I think there's a need in every one of us to want to be successful
But I also think that's our biggest downfall
And not knowing what true success is
Is it money? Love? Land? Women? Men?
I don't know
I-I don't know
And I think that's the hardest part
Is I can't answer those type of questions
So I get stuck
And I don't like being stuck
I feel like I'm Icarus
Imma die on a mission
When I hit the peak then I'm no longer feeling this
Post-hoc original
Me at my pinnacle
Burn up like candlesticks
I thought I could handle it
I know that I'm talented
I'm way above average
I know that my days are all numbered
Binary codes zeroes and ones
I always felt like I'd be something
But something to nothing is real close to none
And I ain't catholic or a nun
A neo soul on earth one
I always thought about if halos were just eclipse of the sun
Put my youth in a fountain
I'll get my rest when at peace
I wanna die on a mountain
A sunset on my sleep
Wake up to realize it wasn't all just a dream
Some people feel like
Heaven's just make believe
But I still believe in my maker
At night I still pray for my haters
Judas around us betray us
Genocide on American natives
All of this freedom of thought
But thoughts about freedom are called out as treason
Conspiracies without reason
America home of the demons
Do you believe them
What do you believe in
I know the enemy is in this Hennessy
Wine & these spirits possessing your energy
Rest in peace to infinity
And they don't wanna
They don't wanna tell us what's really going on
No one's honest anymore
I just don't
I don't understand
Well maybe if you closed your eyes
You'd see it's a war outside
I know we're on the battleground
There's more at stake than your life
Please keep your faith at all times
Please watch out for soul ties
Cause they're coming for you
They're coming for you
A lot of people aren't who they say they are
And the craziest part is, it's not their fault
I think we all have these delusions
Of what we claim to be, what we wanna be, who we think we are
And it's really not our fault, it's just programmed into us
