[Verse 1]
E F# G#m B F# C#
Daedalus warned us of this before, an untimely demise to be
E F# G#m B F#
That those with a hopeful dream to soar'd best beware their hubris and
E
complacency, he said
E F# G#m B F# C#
"Wings of wax can only fly so high and swoop so low
E F# G#m B F# E
Be careful son, of the dampening tides and the melting gaze of Apollo"
E F# G#m B F# C#
But words of warning aren't worth much when falling on deaf ears
E F# G#m B F# E
The child, his feathers fell to dust, the father, he fell to tears
[Verse 2]
G#m
So toe the line
B
And stay aligned
E G#m
Don't fall behind, but don't run ahead, you'll end up dead
G#m
The road we walk
B
Is lined in chalk
E G#m
And soon the clock will tick its final tock and death will knock
[Chorus]
B E
But there's an Icarus in all of us, a child struck by glee
F# G#m F#
We all lost trust in Daedalus once we caught the thought of escaping
B
'Cause we all get stuck, down on our luck
E
Yeah we're all just trapped on Crete
F# G#m
Oh, there's an Icarus in all of us
F# B
Dreaming to escape our suffering
[Verse 3]
E F# G#m
But perhaps this diegesis was just another farce
B F# C#
Is it truly man's great weakness, to wanna fly up high into the stars?
E F# G#m
It seems awfully convenient, that those in linen robes
B F# E
Wanna keep the world's obedience in a stable state of limbo
[Verse 4]
G#m B E
So fuck it, fly as high and swoop as low as you would please
G#m B E
Since when the fuck was what we know transcribed by pricks like Socrates?
G#m B E
You trapped us on an island, and then you left us for dead
G#m B
We watched the stars with broken hearts
E
And now we sure as shit won't stand around
F# G#m
These shackles cannot hold us down again
[Chorus]
