Lyrics

Icarus

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.

Fell out of the air and you broke your wings

Like you're doing every other time

Made a new pair out of broken things

To give it all another try

And you climb right up to the highest peaks

And reach up to the edge of the world you seek

Afraid of heights so you don't believe

You could ever be good enough

Go on then Icarus, take your turn

You always fly right up until it burns

Your wings you never could change, always the victim

Into the flames again

Go on then Icarus, take your turn

You'll never go through thеm

Head in the clouds

Buried your feet in thе ground

Telling yourself it's the world that holds you down

But you've got your chin held high

And your chest pumped up

The replica of a runner up

You were made for skies but you called you bluff

Now you'll never be good enough

Go on then Icarus, take your turn

You always fly right up until it burns

Your wings you never could change, always the victim

Into the flames again

Go on then Icarus, take your turn

You'll never go through them

You'll never go through them

You'll never go through them

So fall back down, back down again

You've got your head in the clouds, on the ground again

Looking for a scapegoat to hold your feet

Pounding on your chest so you don't feel weak

You fall back down, back down again

Go on then Icarus, take your turn

You always fly right up until it burns

Your wings you never could change, always the victim

Into the flames again

Go on then Icarus, take your turn

You'll never go through them
