Icarus by Tyrese Pope Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am an Icarus
I have been living inside this predicament
Wish it was different
I am a filament
Lighting up every room I am sitting in
Y’all are so dissonant
I want somebody to please
I always thought it’d be me
I cannot breathe
Heart on my sleeve
Should I surrender so y’all get the pleasure of watching me leave
Whoa, feelings are not to be shared
People are often aware
Lacking the care
I feel like half of a pair
People walk pass and they stare
But I am an apparition
I been actin different
They attack my system
They got bad intentions
And I’m mad cause this is
What I have to live with
And I’m stacking chips
But they have jacked my riches
[Chorus]
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Back in the room and I jot
Tired of shooting my shot
There are just too many people that do not deserve it
I get in the booth and I plot
Trying to reach for the sun
Oxygen deep in my lungs
Trying to summon the strength and the energy needed
Cause this hasn't even begun
I am the Icarus that will achieve
Capture the sun without burning my wings
Some people think that I'm destined to fail
So what if nobody really believes
This is the point where there's no turning back
Putting my heart and my soul in the track
If someone tries to get stuck in the way
They are not ready for me to attack
[Chorus]
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
[Bridge]
I will find my way out
I will float above
I will feed off the doubt
I will hold the sun
I will find my way out
I will float above
I will feed off the doubt
I will hold the sun
[Chorus]
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
I am an Icarus
I have been living inside this predicament
Wish it was different
I am a filament
Lighting up every room I am sitting in
Y’all are so dissonant
I want somebody to please
I always thought it’d be me
I cannot breathe
Heart on my sleeve
Should I surrender so y’all get the pleasure of watching me leave
Whoa, feelings are not to be shared
People are often aware
Lacking the care
I feel like half of a pair
People walk pass and they stare
But I am an apparition
I been actin different
They attack my system
They got bad intentions
And I’m mad cause this is
What I have to live with
And I’m stacking chips
But they have jacked my riches
[Chorus]
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me fall
Please don't let me go
Unless I mean nothing at all
