Icarus Falls
Laura Benson
I cannot ride on your back forever
I cannot use your wings to fly
I cannot brace you from bad weather
Protect from storms that come at night
I cannot ride on your back forever
Eventually I will drag you down
The wax will melt upon your feathers
And in this ocean we will both drown
Don’t you know you’ve come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
As the gods settle the score
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound
I cannot use your soul to save me
Although long ago I tried
I know you will always blame me
For holding close to yours to hitch a ride
I cannot use your candle
Oh to set my heart aflame
This journey is one I cannot handle
So while you jump I will refrain myself
Don’t you know you’ve come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
As the gods settle the score
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound
I cannot use your words for ammo
I need my own to get me through the fight
And all the troops you have gathered
They are yours, they are not mine
They are yours, they are not mine
Don’t you know you’ve come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
