Icarus Lyrics

He had a misanthrope for a dad,
who crushed any hope he might have had
when he was just a boy
Clothed in a cloak of bitterness,
He wandered through the wilderness
In search of something to destroy

Like Icarus he flew too close to the sun
To the sun

Well I can understand how someone can go over to the dark side,
cos the devil, he's got all the tunes
And somebody once said if you're not living on the edge
Then you are taking up too much room

Like Icarus he flew too close to the sun
I know he fell but for a while there,
he must have had some fun

In a world of such confusion, contradiction and delusion,
We all can have a heavy heart
It's a certain symbiosis, paranoia feeds psychosis
it can cause a man to fall apart

Like Icarus he flew too close to the sun
I know he fell down but i know that he is not the only one
No he's not the only one

If you don't shoot,
then you don't score,
I know that for sure

He had a misanthrope for a dad,
who crushed any hope he might have had
when he was just a boy
