Icarus by Kalliope Jones Lyrics

‘Cause you’re an Icarus flying away
Never a Hercules saving the day
And sometimes you echo things
That don’t regard you anyway

If I had a dime
Even a penny for every time
You said you lived a melancholic life
I’d be rich as a king with a queen who could sting

You’ve learned to kindly kill
All the things that take out the thrill
But you still have to run uphill
‘Cause sometimes it’s still fun to get burned by the sun

So do not bite me
‘Cause you’re looking for a pack
Of wolves to run away with y
You’re not coming back

Now you’re throwing grenades
‘Cause you just have to get your way
Wish you had bolder things to say
Than “I’m living on the edge so it’s a disadvantage”
You told a little lie
So they’re hanging you out to dry
‘Cause they didn’t know you could fly
Past the silly little things, so they are taking your wings
