Icarus Fly

An existential rock/blues anthem about ambition, burnout, and finding the courage to risk failure. Lyrics: Didn't sleep all night, been surfing satellites Ashtray full of bad ideas and cheap lights Phone screaming red banners, "another war on the news" Same damn movie, different logo, DAMN! Im outta booze. Its time to get wired, do a line of Coke Zero Girl been snappy all morning, better not go near her Cracked glass on the floor mixed with dollar bills Looks like somebody lost a fight against free will Neighbor's dog is barking at the end of the world, Bills stacked high enough to put a crack in the Earth, Mirror says I'm living, eyes say something worse, But hey, at least I'm dressed for the hearse. I'm not high I don't cry It's the rain in my eyes. Still waiting for sun, Still waiting for sign, Fly, Icarus, fly. Burn your wings, touch the sky, Maybe that's the point of life. Fly, Icarus, fly, Fly, fly! Icarus, fly! Too many people look like they gettin paid I'm barely awake, but I love it today Sidewalk festival, everybody dressed strange Legion of strangers but they all got my face Short like Yoda, patience running on fumes High as a weather balloon floating over June Ambitious enough to bankrupt entire nations Looking for my name somewhere in Revelations Thought I'd have it figured out, better life, bright smile Turns out I've been saying "next year" for quite a while I am the difference between courage and drunk audacity Time to find my wings and test my tenacity I'm not high I don't cry It's the rain in my eyes. Still waiting for sun, Still waiting for sign, Fly, Icarus, fly. Burn your wings, touch the sky, Maybe that's the point of life. Fly, Icarus, fly, Fly, fly! Icarus, fly! Gonna do it alone Nobody gets it Nobody has to To each their own Soul is in the eyes Not the paint Not the label Not the name They call it madness I call it momentum Once Im done, they will see me And think "God sent him" I'm not high I don't cry It's the rain in my eyes. Still waiting for sun, Still waiting for sign, Fly, Icarus, fly. Burn your wings, touch the sky, Maybe that's the point of life. Fly, Icarus, fly, Fly, fly! Icarus, fly!
