icarus

Shawn James

Here at the edge of the world
I make my final escape
There s a small chance I ll make it out alive

I ve heard this tale before
I know just how it ends

Fire won t bend just cause you believe
And the higher you go, the less you can see
They say he rose like a bird, fell like a stone
Now the ocean s his grave and a sky stands alone
Flew too close to the sun

I don t pray for mercy now
I never could kneel anyhow
If I fall, then let the silence sing

With the sun in my eyes
The fall underneath

Fire won t bend just cause you believe
And the higher you go, the less you can see
They say he rose like a bird, fell like a stone
Now the ocean s his grave and a sky stands alone
Flew too close to the sun

If flying is falling then so be the cost
At least in the rise I found what I lost

Fire won t bend just cause you believe
And the higher you go, the less you can see
They say he rose like a bird, fell like a stone
Now the ocean s his grave and a sky stands alone
Flew too close to the sun
Flew too close to the sun
Flew too close to the sun
