I, Carrion (Icarian)

If the wind turns, if I hit a squall Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me I feel lighter than I have in so much time I've crossed the border line of weightless One deep breath out from the sky I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world And though I burn how could I fall? When I am lifted by every word you say to me If anything could fall at all, it's the world That falls away from me You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea While you're as heavy as the world That you hold your hands beneath Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground But I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down Leave it now, I am sky-bound If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me We'll float away, but if we fall I only pray, don't fall away from me I do not have wings, love, I never will Soarin' over a world you are carryin' If these heights should bring my fall Let me be your own Icarian carrion If the wind turns, if I hit a squall Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me If I should fall, on that day I only pray, don't fall away from me
