Icarus

Light as a feather
Insistent as the wind
I have tried to fly
Defeated by the sun
My wings are getting burned
And I can't keep myself in the air

Day after day
My face meets the ground
I failed successive attempts
I think I should give up
(Am I wrong or right?)

Go fast!
Run! Now!
Jump down!
Get high!

So many drops of wax dripping from the sun
Oh god, will you let me die in this way?

Go fast!
Run! Now!
Jump down!
Get high!

Too high!
Watch out!
Turn back!
Fall down!
Don't die!
