Lyrics

[00:21.86] Look who's digging their own grave
[00:23.69] That is what they all say
[00:25.22] You'll drink yourself to death
[00:29.20] Look who makes their own bed
[00:30.76] Lies right down within it
[00:32.29] And what will you have left?
[00:36.15] Out on the front doorstep
[00:37.88] Drinking from a paper cup
[00:39.38] You won't remember this
[00:43.23] Living beyond your years
[00:45.20] Acting out all their fears
[00:46.52] You feel it in your chest
[00:49.92] Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you
[00:57.48] Icarus is flying too close to the sun
[01:04.36] And Icarus' life it has only just begun
[01:10.60] It's just begun
[01:18.68] Standing on the cliff face
[01:20.54] Highest fall you'll ever grace
[01:22.70] It scares me half to death
[01:25.88] Look out to the future
[01:27.72] But it tells you nothing
[01:29.29] So take another breath
[01:32.57] Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you
[01:40.90] Icarus is flying too close to the sun
[01:47.60] And Icarus' life it has only just begun
[01:54.35] This is how it feels to take a fall
[02:01.51] Icarus is flying towards an early grave
[02:08.32] You put up your defenses when you leave
[02:13.73] You leave because you're certain of who you want to be
[02:22.57] You're putting up your armour when you leave
[02:27.60] You leave because you're certain of who you want to be
[02:37.20] Icarus is flying too close to the sun
[02:44.80] And Icarus' life it has only just begun
[02:51.20] This is how it feels to take a fall
[02:58.31] Icarus is flying towards an early grave
