lyrics

I cannot ride on your back forever
I cannot use your wings to fly
I cannot brace you from bad weather,
Protect from storms that come at night

I cannot ride on your back forever
Eventually I’ll drag you down
The wax will melt upon your feathers
And in ocean we will both drown

Don’t you know we’ve come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
When the Gods settle the score,
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound

I cannot use your soul to save me
Although long ago I tried
For I know you will always blame me
For holding close to yours to catch a ride

I cannot use your candle
Oh to set my heart aflame
This journey is one I cannot handle,
So while you jump I will refrain
Myself

Don’t you know we've come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
As the Gods settle the score,
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound

I can’t use your words for ammo
I need my own to get me through the fight
All the troops that you have gathered,
They are yours they are yours, they are not mine
They are yours, they are not mine

Don’t you know we've come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
As the Gods settle the score,
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound
