Icarus

I know I can't get much closer today
I know I'm burning, but I need an escape
And Lord knows I've waited all week for today
All week for today
They say, "Son, what've you done to your face?"
It's such a terrible life to waste
Keep away from the sun
Oh, it's a fatal mistake
Oh, it's a fatal mistake

I'm like midnight, mid-flight
Cotton-mouthed and wide-eyed
Alright, face white, need a minute outside, oh
'Cause I don't feel so alright
And now it's bright lights, can't hide
Hoping that I don't die
Teeth grind, new heights
Think I'm floating out of sight
Think I'm floating out of sight, oh

Feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
And I go too far always, sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise

Now, I'm on the wrong side of the waves
I ain't right, I ain't feeling okay
I'm still out of my head
I hope that they're still in bed
I hope no one's awake

They say, "Son, you're a fucking disgrace
Can't believe it's my blood in your veins
I don't know who you are, you're not the boy that I raised
You're not the boy that I raised"

I'm like midnight, mid-flight
Cotton-mouthed and wide-eyed
Alright, face white, need a minute outside, oh
'Cause I don't feel so alright
Now, it's bright lights, can't hide
Hoping that I don't die
Teeth grind, new heights
Think I'm floating out of sight
Think I'm floating out of sight, oh

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
And I go too far always, sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise

But I'm so high, I've been flying all night
Yeah, I'm soaring
Straight to the morning
Straight through the morning
Sun rose and that was too close, now it's dawning
My feathers are falling, I fell with no warning

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
And I go too far always sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
I go too far always sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise
