LYRICS

Daedalus warned us of this before, an untimely demise to be.
That those with a hopeful dream to soar had best beware their hubris and complacency, he said:
"Wings of wax can only fly so high and swoop so low. Be careful, son of the dampening tides and the melting gaze of Apollo."
But words of warning aren't worth much when falling on deaf ears.
The child, his feathers fell to dust, and the father, he fell to tears.

So toe the line. And stay aligned. Don't fall behind but don't run ahead, you'll end up dead.
The road we walk is lined in chalk, and soon the clock will tick its final tock, and death will knock.

But there's an Icarus in all of us; a child struck by glee.
We all lost trust in Daedalus once we caught the thought of escaping.
Because we all get stuck, down on our luck. Yeah, we're all just trapped on Crete.
Oh, there's an Icarus in all of us, dreaming to escape our suffering.

But perhaps this diegesis, was just another farce.
Is it truly man's great weakness to want to fly up high into the stars?
It seems awfully convenient that those in linen robes
want to keep the world's obedience in a stable state of limbo.

So fuck it, fly as high and swoop as low as you would please.
Since when the fuck was what we know transcribed by pricks like Socrates?
You trapped us on an island and then you left us for dead.
We watched the stars with broken hearts and now we sure as shit won't stand around.
These shackles cannot hold us down again.

There's an Icarus in all of us, sick of being the mean.
So please tell us the difference between contentedness and complacency.
Yeah, I call your bluff. We've had enough, and there's no more words to placate me.
'cos there's an Icarus in all of us dreaming to take flight with proud wax wings.
