I burn up easy It's in my DNA. I'm like Icarus's sun. Or maybe I'm more like Icarus's son Hell bent on seeing hell In front of me. I don't believe anything unless It's in front of me. And I can taste it like food And drink it like water. I'm not Icarus More like Sideshow Bob Just helping the disaster move along. Pushing the people I love into the fire. Letting Daedalus turn his only son into a parable.
