Lyrics

I’ve been racing to nowhere
Head down as fast as I can go
Soaring over the last shores
And all the sensible voices I ignore
Now I got what I wanted
But does it matter if I can’t see the ground
The more I try to grab and hold on
The more everything just turns to clouds
Straight ahead doesn’t fly far
The next step you take might leave a scar
Or change who you are
Icarus in the night stars
Every mountain looks small from afar
Don’t you ever come near me
I’m on a race into the sky
Only hearts can see clearly
The essential’s invisible to the eye
The climb is taking me higher
Unless I’ve always been traveling upside down
The world is turning my life over
And time’s moving faster than I can count
Straight ahead doesn’t fly far
The next step you take might leave a scar
Or change who you are
Icarus in the night stars
Every mountain looks small from afar
Take me
With you
You don’t need to walk this road alone
Of suffering and sorrow
Believe me
I’m with you
Until the light comes to call you home
To where I can’t follow
