Icarus & Apollo

Apollo showed me the Sun
Told me not to fly too close
Or else I would be one
With the people on the land

Icarus, show me the Moon
Point me in a new direction
Far away from you
Avoiding all the aftermath

Daylight shuffles in
Cascading through the open door
And dancing on your lips
Where you held your cigarette

I remember when
You told me you were afraid to die
And then you grabbed my hand
Just above the kitchen table

So, Apollo, bring me back
To the place I was before I met you
And Icarus, lead the way
To where I need to go

I hear your footsteps now
Barefoot soles on the bathroom floor
And on my way out
I told you I would never leave
