Icarus flew too close to the sun and got burned
He thought he was invincible and thought he could have it all
To touch the divine light that allows the world to exist
And live to tell the tale, but he didn’t, he burned
He burned into nothing, into millions of meaningless ashes
For no one to ever see or hear from again, existing only in abyss
And for what Icarus? What did you gain? What did you fulfill?
A story perhaps? Notoriety? You’re a shell of a being!
Claiming to be a god, but plagued with humanity
And the human mind works in sick ways, it’s a wicked game
Did you even want the sun? Or did you want the pain?
Did life get so boring that you had to push the limits?
Was it worth it? Did you amuse yourself?
Because, I like to amuse myself. Why did you have to show me I would burn?
Why couldn’t I test the limits for myself?
I look at my own life, and I am only a spectator
An audience member watching a film
And the film is boring me, her family is too supportive
Her boyfriend is too perfect, it’s all just TOO picturesque
So, I’ll hand it over to the uncanny double, the black swan, and shut my eyes
She always cures the boredom
A fear of the mundane, I like to amuse myself you see
So, I let her interlude in my perfect little life, stir the pot
Forget your perfect boyfriend, I see you looking at the other
Tattoos run up strong arms, a lovely build it is
Thick dark hair, the embodiment of true masculinity
And he’s looking at you like you’re something to eat
And truth be told, you want to be devoured
And he’s trying to pull you in, and so desperately, you want to say yes
But, Icarus flew too close to the sun, and look what happened to him...
