Icarus

The scars of a dream Take me back to where you leave Where these waxen feathers Can't hold me together But somehow you stay clean If asked when we began If I knew how the world would spin I would never discover What life would uncover Until the story's end So take your time Take your lies And hold them closely The truth will find It's way tonight Though you never would believe it Tear me away from everything we've done I guess that my wings have taken me too close To your sun Twist every word to make them what you need But if you must walk alone Don't come running back to me A star burning bright and with the world I watched you shine Taking what was gathered You distorted and shattered Turning beauty into lies Some may say What's gone today Returns tomorrow But I believe That we'll never see All that we were really made for Tear me away from everything we've done I guess that my wings have taken me too close To your sun Twist every word to make them what you need But if you must walk alone Don't come running back to me --- Icarus - David Hodges
