I met the devil by the cliffside

He told everything gon' be alright

Take my hand and we gonna fly

Take my hand, it'll be alright

Before I could realise

The sky was falling down

There's nothing I can do now

I know that I'm hellbound

We're falling

In reverse

Icarus

Towards the earth

Impotent

No more worth

My wings have fallen

I'm falling now

I met the devil on the main street

He tell me everything I can't be

The help that I can't seek

That I can't eat

That I can't sleep

A way out? there has to be

The sky is falling, surrounding me

My wings glued on, a masterpiece

Although they're the thing, that's drowning me

We're falling

In reverse

Icarus

Towards the earth

Impotent

No more worth

My wings have fallen

I'm falling now

We're falling

In reverse

Icarus, Icarus

Towards the earth

Impotent

No more worth

My wings have fallen

I'm falling now

When I met the devil by the cliffside

I was walking alone

Thinking about life

And then he showed

And he told me

"Icarus, take these wings and learn how to fly"

He told me

"Icarus, everything will be alright

Don't get too close, don't go too far

Your only enemy is a burning star

Forget about life, forget about love

Fall in reverse to get back up"

Vertigo, I swear I am so high up

Vertigo, I swear I'm about to fall, but hopefully up

Forget about life, forget about love, forget about everything I even want

I know I can't escape it, I know it has to be done

I know its irreversible, but it's all I want
