Icarus

One day you slipped in to
A non chromatic state of being
Paled yourself and settled for
A grim and ugly world
You felt impressed by simple gestures
Though it hurt you never left her
Cause her colours kept your
World from being greyscale
Cause she burnt auburn like the fires
She set ablaze, but l require
An explanation on why you really stayed
Instead you bought a backyard castle
And you both played pretend
That she wasn't sneaking out
At midnight to meet another man

And you know
That you did
Everything that you could
But she took your wings and ran
Icarus
I'll catch you as you land

So you wandered aimlessly around
A world you knew nothing about
Skipped pebbles cause you didn't have the will
To lift the boulders
And maybe once you're older
You can try again, my friend
But until then you'll just be a silhouette
You might be lost but you
Can find yourself again
It's bittersweet every
New beginning

And you know
That you did
Everything that you could
But she took your wings and ran
Icarus
I'll catch you as you land

You gave him flight
Then tore him out of the sky
Why great designer why
