Icarus Songtext

von Jason Webley

I wake up every morning,
To the sound of motors roaring,
They are drowning out the voices in my head.
At night while I am sleeping,
I can hear the angels speaking,
But I can't recall a single thing they said.

I see their lips move clearly,
I feel their presence near me,
But each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks.
I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain,
And then a voice from somewhere whispers to relax.

I'll say a word for sickness,
She is my favorite mistress,
Yes, she knows my body like no other can.
My flesh and spirit keep colliding,
When her fingers are inside me,
Oh my god, oh my god, lady I'm your man.
Fever, flu, malaria,
Come near me do not spare me,
I just long to spend another night under attack.
I retch, I shake, I cry until I break and then I feel something release and I relax.

I bang my head for days,
Against the walls inside this maze,
I've never been to good at this damn kind of thing.
I'm in here with my father,
I'm just pacing but he's smarter,
He's been building a fantastic set of wings.
And like that I'm up and flying,
With the labyrinth behind me,
But I go to high, the sun is melting through the wax.
It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth, and as I fall I feel myself relax.

Am I letting go?
Am I letting go?
I think I'm letting go
I must be letting go
Am I letting go?
I think I'm letting go
I must be letting go
I've got to let it go
Let it go
I've got to let it go
Go, let it go
I've got to let it go
Let go, let go, let go, let go
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go, let go, let go
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
Let go
Let go

I wake up every morning,
To the sound of motors roaring,
They are drowning out these voices in my head.
At night while I am sleeping,
I still hear the angels speaking,
But I can't recall a single thing they said.
I see their lips move clearly,
I feel their presence near me,
But all their unearthly wisdom just slips through the cracks.
I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain,
I retch, I shake, I cry until I break,
It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth,
And as I fall I feel myself relax.
