Oh Icarus, how sorrowful am I? I just heard the most beautiful lie. A tale of a wide blue, and vast sky. It's a place where there is a golden sun that's high It's a place where the wind blows just right It's a place that they call "The outside" I've dreamt of that place once before. I've also dreamt that I opened the door And I've dreamt that I left this room and explored. Only to wake and return here once more. So, Icarus, do you think it's true? Do you think that there's an ocean out there, filled with the deepest blue? I don't. I've never even seen the sky. But maybe there's one part of me left That still believes in that beautiful lie.

The day Icarus told the Truth
Oh Icarus, how sorrowful am I? I just heard the most beautiful lie. A tale of a wide blue, and vast sky. It's a place where there is a golden sun that's high It's a place where the wind blows just right It's a place that they call "The outside" I've dreamt of that place once before. I've also dreamt that I opened the door And I've dreamt that I left this room and explored. Only to wake and return here once more. So, Icarus, do you think it's true? Do you think that there's an ocean out there, filled with the deepest blue? I don't. I've never even seen the sky. But maybe there's one part of me left That still believes in that beautiful lie.
