lyrics

icarus, icarus
won't you come down?
the higher you get
the harder you'll hit the ground.
while you were up
I wonder what you found
up in that endless world
of heavenly sound.

I know you've been warned
about the evils of flight,
but you got too high
way out of my sight.
and the flames they engulfed you
in their fiery might,
but you would've lost yourself
in the dark of the night.

I knew it was only
a matter of time.

and I know you consider
your hubris an art.
and I know you felt destined
from the very start.
and I know you need fire
to feel a spark,
but how high can we get
before we fall apart?
I said, how high can we get
before we fall apart?

so icarus, icarus
just meet me halfway.
don't lose yourself
by letting your wax wings decay.
if I made this maze better
would you promise to stay?
'cause I love you too much
to let you get away.

don't fly away.
don't fly away.
don't fly away.
icarus, stay.
