Wax Wings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
wax wings
on mine fearful flier
unalarmed in gravity's charm
and starter motors hum
ballads of ballasts
am i reaching?
wax wins i surrender
and this makeshift design
will ground me
and without the air's arms
around me
i'll surrender the sky
to your dumb machine
wax wings
prepare for takeoff
with the engine beneath the ribs
and the wind sings
ballads of balance
can you hear me?
wax wins i surrender
and i know that icarus
loves me
and there are no stars
above me
i melt into the sun
