Icarus (Dan's Bedroom Demo)

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

"Look who's digging their own grave"
That is what they all say
"You'll drink yourself to death"
Now who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left?

Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup
You won't remember this
Living beyond your years
Acting out all their fears
You feel it in your chest

Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Just begun
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Standing on the cliff face
Highest fall you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look into the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath

Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus' life, it has only just begun
And this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus, you're falling towards an early grave

You put up your defences when you leave
And you leave because you're certain of who you want to be
You're putting up your armour when you leave
And you leave because you're certain of what you want to be, oh

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus' life, it has only just begun
And this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus, your life, it has only just begun
