Icarus

I see no end to the fight
No ceasefire in sight
A fire growing higher
Fueled by ignorance and pride

Cannibalize our own side
A deadly divide
A thousand poison thorns
They line the corners of my mind

Spare me the weight of your sentiment
Spare me the unworthy elements of your heart
Leave me alone with the energy
Leave me with all my malevolence in the dark

Take what you want when you take me apart
Take what you want
Take me apart

(We're running in the dark)
(In the dark)

All we know is the price we pay
When all is said and done
As we fly too high and burn up in the sun
Burn up in the sun

(Burn up in the sun)

We burden ourselves as we murder the past
The keys to the kingdom encased in glass
We prayed for rain, and we got drought instead
And if they gave us wings, they would be made of lead

Made of-

I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight
A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind
They'll find us in our homes
There'll be no safe place left to hide

Take what you want
Take me apart

(Is the price we pay)
(We're running in the dark)
(In the dark)

All we know is the price we pay when all is said and done
As we fly too high and burn up in the sun
As we race to the end, there's no time left to pretend
We deserve this, will we learn from what we've done
Or burn up in the sun?

Burn up in the sun

I see no end to the fight, there is no ceasefire in sight
A fire growing higher, fueled by burning hatred and pride
Cannibalize our own side, a never-growing divide
A thousand poison thorns press ever deeper into my mind
