Icarus in Lyrics

I was warned; I did not listen
I knew my power; knew my limits
Or so it seemed


The wax on my wings
Solidified
The desire to reach that place
Intensified
I forgot you were next to me

There are some things
You can’t unsee
Drowning in the ocean
Forever salty

I’d heard before; what you’d wrought
Blinded by glory; I thought not

The flesh and the skin
Blackening
A sudden realization
Maddening
You were too close to me

There are those acts
Forever done
Sinking to the bottom
Already begun

There are those acts
Forever done

Sinking to the bottom
Already begun

There are some things
You can’t unsee
Drowning in the ocean
Forever salty

There are some things
You can’t unsee
Drowning in the ocean
Forever salty
