Icarus (feat. Carmen Lees)

I waited for the light to come back again

So I could study you

But ever the enigma

You clung to the shadows, made friends with the umbra

Now I realise that darkness came from the root of me

I made an artform out of inertia

A hideous homage to everything I've lost

It's a melted wax collage of each successive downfall

And a portrait of a man who flew too close to the sea

It feels a lot like history's repeating

But the only common thread is me, prostrate and bleeding

The scent was caught again, the fox eviscerated

But the hounds they only maim, they never end the misery

We both walked into that maze

But you were the only one to leave

And now

I know I never will

I waited for the light to come back again

So I could worship you, an Arian Enigma

I know that I'm diseased, emotionally infertile

So I'll spend this night alone, with my wings lost to the sea

It's just another night alone in this maze I built of fear

I'll spend every night alone, until I find a way out of here...
