Look who's digging
their own grave
That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death
Look who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left
Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup
You won't remember this
Living beyond your years
Acting out all their fears
You feel it in your chest
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
Icarus is flying too
close to the sun
Icarus's life
it has only just begun
It's just begun
Standing on the cliff face
Highest foe you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look out to the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
Icarus is flying
too close to the sun
Icarus's life
it has only just begun
This is how
it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying
towards an early grave
You put up your defenses
when you leave
You leave because
you're certain
Of who you want to be
You're putting up your
armor when you leave
You leave because
you're certain
Of who you want to be
Icarus is flying too
close to the sun
Icarus's life it has
only just begun
This is how it feels
to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards
an early grave
