Icarus

Drifting up and down
Caught between the clouds
What is it you're chasing
And you're blissfull up above
You're heart's an open book
But I can't turn the pages

Hold me silent sinking like a stone tonight
Times I tried I thought you're mad and lone inside

Carelessly undone
We've slipped under the Sun
The bits our wings are made of
Scattered to the stars
And we can see from Mars
As the Earth it comes to take us

Hold me silent sinking like a stone tonight
Times I tried I thought you're mad and lone inside
There's been days I've been thinking of the words to say
You talk the talk but you really care if I'm okay

Falling back it brings me round again
Come my son I'm counting down from ten
Shouldn't have to guess where you're going
Sooner or later we're all have to face it

Hold me silent sinking like a stone tonight
Times I tried I thought you're mad and lone inside
There's been days I've been thinking of the words to say
You talk the talk but you really care if I'm okay
