Icarus ft. The Lampoliers Lyrics

As we look to the sky

There's fear in our eyes

Fear in our eyes

Circle wagons and say

"It's been a difficult time

A difficult time"

At the tables we pray

Look to the earth and we pray

That it's gonna be alright

But when we look to the sky

There's fear in our eyes

Call off your dogs, it's resounding

Fighting water won't stop you from drowning

I am not a vessel, I am a missile

Waiting for the sky to fall, but the sky don't fall

Rising rivers hold at the banks

Even when the clouds arrive and the cold winds call

Most trees bend but they don't break

You're falling with open hands

Which makes perfect sense

It makes perfect sense

And, like Icarus, your wings

You're giving into the heat

The sun's last defense

And as you tremble and pray

Look to the earth and you pray

Despite what you'd meant

Falling with open hands is our only defense

Waiting for the sky to fall, but the sky don't fall

Rising rivers hold at the banks

Even when the clouds arrive and the cold winds call

Most trees bend but they don't break

Most trees bend but they don't break

Most trees bend but they don't break
