Icarus

I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight A fire growing higher, fuelled by ignorance and pride Cannibalize our own side, a deadly divide A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind Spare me the weight of your sentiment Spare me the unworthy elements of your heart Leave me alone with the energy Leave me with all my malevolence, in the dark Take what you want when you take me apart Take what you want Take me apart We're running in the dark All we know is the price we pay When all is said and done As we fly too high and burn up in the sun Burn up in the sun We burden ourselves as we murder the past The keys to the kingdom, encased in glass We prayed for rain, and we got drought instead And if they gave us wings, they would be made of lead I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind They'll find us in our homes There'll be no safe place left to hide Take what you want Take me apart We're running in the dark All we know is the price we pay When all is said and done As we fly too high and burn up in the sun As we race to the end There's no time left to pretend We deserve this, will we learn from what we've done? Or burn up in the sun? I see no end to the fight There is no ceasefire in sight A fire growing higher fuelled by burning hatred and pride Cannibalize our own side An ever-growing divide A thousand poison thorns press ever deeper into my mind
