it was like i was icarus
he, my daedalus
we were imprisoned in a labyrinth
both so clueless

he carved wings out of wax and love
and he tried to warn me of the dangers
yet ego happened to be my vice
and instead of obeying
i did not heed his advice

because of my stubbornness
i died an unholy death
as the sea opened its mouth to consume me
i took my last breath

i fell to a death so tragic
drowned by my own sin
my soul forever lost at sea
guilt eventually consumed me

i had taken him for granted
he had given me a solution out of my misery
my one ticket to freedom
and i'd ruined it out of stupidity

the sun that melted my wings did not **** me
the sea that welcomed me with open arms did not **** me
it was my arrogance
the cause of my death was my ignorance
