Icarus

When we last met I gave you

A bottle of stars

That you uncorked later that night

When I went away

Now the sky is so bright

I can't tell the difference

Between night and day

Their opulence

I hear them cry and sing

Planet is burning up

We need to go higher

Try and catch us up

Be gods, be fire

Be fire, be fire, be

Tailgate the Sun

How does it feel, to watch yourself burn up?

This lump in my neck

It will be my death

Carve it out and see

Tailgate the Sun

Hand in hand

At perihelion

I don't even know if this world

Knows that I exist

As I fall to her wearing these wings

Made of wax and eagle feathers

The atmosphere starts to drag

My skin sets aflame

From the ground you'll point your finger

And wish for this

Over and over again

Planet is burning up

We need to go higher

Try and catch us up

Be gods, be fire

Be fire, be fire, be

Tailgate the Sun

How does it feel, to watch yourself burn up?

This lump in my neck

It will be my death

Carve it out and see

Tailgate the Sun

Hand in hand

At perihelion
