Icarus - Emma Blackery

You’ve got your eyes closed, such a temper

Been so long that you can’t remember

How it started, how they took you down

You got your wings up, now they’re laughing

You’re the food at the feast that that they are having

And you know running away doesn’t prove them wrong

Well have you tried apologising?

Do you know the mess you’ve made?

You believe you hold the answers

But your feathers are all frayed

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus

Why you so serious, serious?

You know you’ve gotta let it go

Cause you’re flying too close

There in your ego lies your weakness

Wrap it tightly and keep it at your chest

You are only the front that you harness

Cause silence is so underrated

Their voices are a loaded gun

You’ll be swallowed up by the sun

Cause you’re trying to be someone

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus

Why you so serious, serious?

You know you’ve gotta let it go

Cause you’re flying too close

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus

You’re being so dangerous, dangerous

You know the higher you fly

The less you can hide

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Cause they’re all waiting in the ocean

With open arms to drag you down

So have you tried apologising

Before you start to drown?

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus

Why you so serious, serious?

You know you’ve gotta let it go

Cause you’re flying too close

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus

You’re being so dangerous, dangerous

You know the higher you fly

The less you can hide
