Icarus

I wake up every morning To the sound of motors roaring They are drowning out the voices in my head At night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking But I can't recall a single thing they said I see their lips move clearly I feel their presence near me But each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain And then a voice from somewhere whisper to relax I'll say a word for sickness She is my favorite mistress Yes, she knows my body like no other can My flesh and spirit keep colliding When her fingers are inside me Oh my God, oh my God, lady I'm your man Fever flu malaria Come near me do not spare me I just long to spend another night under attack I retch, I shake, I cry until I break And then I feel something release and I relax I bang my head for days Against the walls inside this maze I've never been too good at this damn kind of thing I'm in here with my father I'm just pacing but he's smarter He's been building a fantastic set of wings And like that I'm up and flying With the labyrenth behind me But I go too high the sun is melting through the wax It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth And as I fall I feel myself relax Am I letting go? Am I letting go? I think I'm letting go I must be letting go Am I letting go? I think I'm letting go I must be letting go I've got to let it go Let it go Let it go I'm gonna let it go I've got to let it go let go let go let go let go I'm letting go I'm letting go Let go let go let go let go let go let go let go I'm letting go I'm letting go, let go, let go I wake up every morning To the sound of motors roaring They're drowning out these voices in my head At night while I am sleeping I still hear the angels speaking But I can't recall a single thing they've said I see thery lips move clearly I feel their presence near me But all their unearthly wisdom just slips through the cracks I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain I retch, I shake, I cry until I break It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth And as I fall I feel myself relax
