Icarus
Sweet nothings in one ear and out the other
So long I lived in fear of getting closer
To you

And relying on your praise
Though it's diluting with the days that pass us by
To remind myself I still know how to fly

It gets hard to breathe
And I can't believe I'm
Worth anything at all, and

If these fragile wings can carry me along
Out to the sun
Can I bear the weight of the fall back down to you?

I wake up so convinced the tap's stopped flowing
Got this incessant need to keep on showing
I'm fine

So I drain the river dry
Impressing a hundred thousand eyes
A sacrifice
To remind myself I still know how to fly

And, if these fragile wings can carry me along
Out to the sun
Can I bear the weight of the fall back down to you?
