Icarus

I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight

A fire growing higher, fuelled by ignorance and pride

Cannibalize our own side, a deadly divide

A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind

Spare me the weight of your sentiment

Spare me the unworthy elements of your heart

Leave me alone with the energy

Leave me with all my malevolence, in the dark

Take what you want when you take me apart

Take what you want

Take me apart

All we know is the price we pay

When all is said and done

As we fly too high and burn up in the sun

Burn up in the sun

We burden ourselves as we murder the past

The keys to the kingdom, encased in glass

We prayed for rain, and we got drought instead

And if they gave us wings, they would be made of lead

I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight

A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind

They'll find us in our homes

There'll be no safe place left to hide

Take what you want

Take me apart

(We're running in the dark)

All we know is the price we pay

When all is said and done

As we fly too high and burn up in the sun

As we race to the end

There's no time left to pretend

We deserve this, will we learn from what we've done?

Or burn up in the sun?

I see no end to the fight

There is no ceasefire in sight

A fire growing higher fuelled by burning hatred and pride

Cannibalize our own side

An ever-growing divide

A thousand poison thorns press ever deeper into my mind
