Icarus

The scars of a dream
Take me back to where you leave
Where these waxen feathers
Can't hold me together
But somehow you stay clean

If asked when we began
If I knew how the world would spin
I would never discover
What life would uncover
Until the story's end

So take your time
Take your lies
And hold them closely
The truth will find
It's way tonight
Though you never would believe it

Tear me away from everything we've done
I guess that my wings have taken me too close
To your sun
Twist every word to make them what you need
But if you must walk alone
Don't come running back to me

A star burning bright
And with the world I watched you shine
Taking what was gathered
You distorted and shattered
Turning beauty into lies

Some may say
What's gone today
Returns tomorrow
But I believe
That we'll never see
All that we were really made for

Tear me away from everything we've done
I guess that my wings have taken me too close
To your sun
Twist every word to make them what you need
But if you must walk alone
Don't come running back to me
