I, Carrion (Icarian)

If the wind turns
If I hit a squall
Allow the ground
To find its brutal way to me

I feel lighter than I have in so much time
I've crossed the borderline of weightless
One deep breath out from the sky
I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
All our weight is just a burden
Offered to us by the world

And though I burn
How could I fall
When I am lifted
By every word you say to me?

If anything
Could fall at all, it's the world
That falls away from me

You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
While you're as heavy as the world
That you hold your hands beneath
Once I wondered what was holdin' up the ground
But I can see that all along, love
It was you all the way down

Leave it now, I am sky-bound
If you need to
Darlin', lean your weight to me

We'll float away
But if we fall
I only pray
Don't fall away from me

I do not have wings, love, I never will
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
If these heights should bring my fall
Let me be your own
Icarian carrion
If the wind turns
If I hit a squall
Allow the ground
To find its brutal way to me

If I should fall
On that day
I only pray
Don't fall away from me
