Icarus Lyrics

Locked in, you spent your nights

Building wings to achieve flight

To prove to all

To breach the city walls

They warned you, "don't get ideas

They always end up in tears"

But you flew on

Getting too close to the sun

So serious little Icarus

Why fly, why fly when you know you'll only fall?

So serious, little Icarus

Why fly, why fly, why fly at all?

Blue skies, no clouds in sight

Made your plans to leave that night

But word got out

They tied you down

And the King came, the Queen came,

The Physician came down and the court came

They said that you'd come down with a fever

Claiming you could fly but they didn't believe you

So serious little Icarus

Why fly, why fly when you know you'll only fall?

So serious, little Icarus

Why fly, why fly, why fly at all?

Why fly, why fly, why fly, why fly at all?

So serious

Locked in, you spent your nights

Building wings hiding from the light
