lyrics

If you should fall into the sun
I can’t save you I’m on the moon
Before the morning blooms
You’ll already be gone
I dream of Icarus
He calls me, he knows my name
In flames his destiny
And yet he continues on
Carelessly you prepare to fly
For all to see, a sideshow scene
The people come from miles around
To stare in awe
I please, dear Icarus
To slow down, to play it safe
Manic his energy
Impulsive and unrestrained
Hear me, dear Icarus,
This journey you won’t survive
See him fall
As he burns
Nothing is left
But his skeleton wings
I dream of Icarus
He calls me, he knows my name
In flames his destiny
And yet he continues on
