The Hours - Icarus lyrics

rate me

He had a misanthrope for a dad

Who crushed any hope he might have had

When he was just a boy

Clothed in a cloak of bitterness

He wandered through the wilderness in search of something to destroy

Like Icarus, he flew too close to the sun

To the sun

I can understand why someone can go over to the dark side

'cause the devil, he's got all the tunes

And someone once said if you're not living on the edge,

then you are taking up too much room

Like Icarus, he flew too close to the sun

I know he fell

But for a while there, he must have had some fun

Yeah, he must have had some fun

Yeah, he must have had some fun

In a world of such confusion, contradiction, and delusion,

We all can have a heavy heart

A certain symbiosis, paranoia, feeds psychosis

It can cause a man to fall apart

Like Icarus, he flew too close to the sun

I know he fell down,

But i know that he is not the only one

No, he's not the only one

If you don't shoot,

then you don't score

I know that for sure

I know that for sure

If you don't shoot,

then you don't score

I know that for sure

I know that for sure

He had a misanthrope for a dad

Who crushed any hope he might have had

When he was just a boy
