Icarus - Jason Webley

I wake up every morning to the sound of motors roaring

They are drowning out the voices in my head

At night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking

But I can’t recall a single thing they said

I see their lips move clearly, I feel their presence near me

But each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks

I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain

And then a voice from somewhere whispers to relax

I’ll say a word for sickness, she is my favorite mistress

Yes, she knows my body like no other can

My flesh and spirit keep colliding when her fingers are inside me

Oh my god, oh my god, lady, I’m your man

Fever, flu, malaria, come near me, do not spare me

I just long to spend another night under attack

I retch, I shake, I cry until I break

And then I feel something release and I relax

I bang my head for days against the walls inside this maze

I’ve never been too good at this damn kind of thing

I’m in here with my father, I’m just pacing but he’s smarter

He’s been building a fantastic set of wings

And like that I’m up and flying with the labyrinth behind me

But I go too high, the sun is melting through the wax

It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth

And as I fall I feel myself relax

Am I letting go?

Am I letting go?

I think I’m letting go

I must be letting go

Am I letting go?

I think I’m letting go

I must be letting go

I’ve got to let it go

Let it go

I’ve got to let it go

Go, let it go

I’ve got to let it go, let go, let go, let go, let go

I’m letting go, I’m letting go

Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go, let go, let go

I’m letting go, I’m letting go

Let go, let go

I wake up every morning to the sound of motors roaring

They are drowning out the voices in my head

At night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking

But I can’t recall a single thing they said

I see their lips move clearly, I feel their presence near me

But all their unearthly wisdom just slips through the cracks

I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain

I retch, I shake, I cry until I break

It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth

And as I fall I feel myself relax
