Icarus
Well, the moon was my main source of light
But it doesn't seem to burn quite as bright
Quite as bright as you, quite as bright as you
But the sun burns a hole through my eyes
And my wings start to melt as I fly
Watch me follow through, watch me falling through
And my fingers are bloodied and cracked as my hands try to grab
And I'm clutching my chest, yelling out
"Help, I think I've been stabbed"
And I'm trying my best to stay calm while you cry
"I don't think I could live with myself if you die"
But it took you too long just to notice who's holding the knife
Even black cats turn brown when they lie in the sun
And our lives seem to end just before they've begun
It's not right, that's not right
And the tragic old story of how we both passed
How you fell from the sky and your eyes turned to glass
And by night, you were light
And your fingers are bloodied and cracked and your heart's filled with smoke
And I'm holding your head to my chest as I feel myself choke
And you're trying your best to stay calm while you cry
"Please don't let me see heaven, I don't wanna die"
But I took too much time just to notice who's taking a life
But it doesn't seem to burn quite as bright
Quite as bright as you, quite as bright as you
But the sun burns a hole through my eyes
And my wings start to melt as I fly
Watch me follow through, watch me falling through
And my fingers are bloodied and cracked as my hands try to grab
And I'm clutching my chest, yelling out
"Help, I think I've been stabbed"
And I'm trying my best to stay calm while you cry
"I don't think I could live with myself if you die"
But it took you too long just to notice who's holding the knife
Even black cats turn brown when they lie in the sun
And our lives seem to end just before they've begun
It's not right, that's not right
And the tragic old story of how we both passed
How you fell from the sky and your eyes turned to glass
And by night, you were light
And your fingers are bloodied and cracked and your heart's filled with smoke
And I'm holding your head to my chest as I feel myself choke
And you're trying your best to stay calm while you cry
"Please don't let me see heaven, I don't wanna die"
But I took too much time just to notice who's taking a life
