Icarus

It seems like you just started noticing How noticeably bad things really are And then you walk past this couple arguing In a rolled up window parked car And all that gesticulated bitterness And all of that muffled yelling hell It's like it just starts wafting at you Like a big furry rat died inside of that wall kinda smell Bad dreams like this roll in like a cold front Thunderous thunder and lightning in tow And your tiny little life gets even smaller As you heed the heavens' mighty show And I don't mean heaven like godlike 'Cause the animal I am knows very well That nature is our teacher and our mother And god is just another Story that we tell You're trying not to grasp Not to start grasping At straws or sticks or stones You're trying to learn to just sit inside your sadness Even if you're sitting there alone 'Cause just like icarus ascending Never intending to look back Nature's law and your tragic flaw Send you flying into the arms of another Venus fly trap Guzzle till the buzzing stops Guzzle till the buzzing stops Guzzle till the buzzing stops --- Icarus - Ani DiFranco
