Help me, I’m Icarus
I’m sinking, into the sea
Everyone knows what got me here,
My pride got the best of me

I’m in your tattoos,
your cautionary tales
Don’t patronize me like Moby,
the **** got swallowed up by a whale

Save me from drowning
It could be worth your while
Even though, as long as I live
My legend inevitably dies

Help me, I’m Icarus
Sinking into the sea
My pride may have gotten me here,
but I died from your apathy
