Icarus

Ideas hang before me
Oh, but a breath away
They flicker into being
And then begin to fade

And when I'm tired of sitting
I drag my bones to bed
And when I'm tired of sleeping
I think of them instead

They're only words
Don't have to shout to be heard

I have not seen the light for days

Like Icarus before me
These wings are not my own
And I am soaring skyward
Just to tumble home

Moment has gone
I'm not the best at moving on

I have not seen the light for days
Ooh
I have not seen the light for days
I have not seen the light for days
And nights, for days
