But Icarus even if you fell you touched the sun You chased the light But you never knew that the light could burn so harshly too That those who’s the brightest burn the quickest But oh Icarus even if you fell you flew You flew with the wind blowing through your hair and the sun kissing your skin You flew with wings made of wax and eyes too bright And maybe that’s why the sun tried to embrace you Because your heart burn even in the darkest of cold in the emptiness of the tower Because you shine even in the night where even the sun couldn’t reach But Icarus even if you fell you were remembered Because even if you fell you burn so brightly You laughed as your wings burn and melt And as you fell back to the cold emptiness of the void the ocean the sea You set the world on fire for just a second then …but there’s always a certain tragedy in setting the world alight and watching it from the middle of the flames

Icarus
But Icarus even if you fell you touched the sun You chased the light But you never knew that the light could burn so harshly too That those who’s the brightest burn the quickest But oh Icarus even if you fell you flew You flew with the wind blowing through your hair and the sun kissing your skin You flew with wings made of wax and eyes too bright And maybe that’s why the sun tried to embrace you Because your heart burn even in the darkest of cold in the emptiness of the tower Because you shine even in the night where even the sun couldn’t reach But Icarus even if you fell you were remembered Because even if you fell you burn so brightly You laughed as your wings burn and melt And as you fell back to the cold emptiness of the void the ocean the sea You set the world on fire for just a second then …but there’s always a certain tragedy in setting the world alight and watching it from the middle of the flames
