you asked me if i thought it hurt when icarus threw himself into the sun i didn't have the heart to tell you how the story ended how he woke up in a burn ward how he flipped a coin heads or tails and when it came up daedalus was still dead you can romanticize it all you want but we all know who's who in this metaphor and how sweet it will feel when you incinerate me i promise when i wake up wherever that is i'll still write you psalms
