wings of wax - Stoneman

Lot to address, I could write you a book, say it two times at the max,

at the most

Forwards and backwards, I’m stone as a rook, shook me to core, and it shook me

to bones

Give you my eyes if you taking a look, shake me awake, and I wake in my home

Even on islands at ends of the brooks, I bring it to places I roam

I can’t believe this shit, honestly, some people live off acknowledgement

I live off bowls of stew pushed under wooden doors, this fuels the monuments

Ye build a wall, a frame around me, picture perfect

You zombies so fucking brainless, I can see through ya skin

God, like where, oh where, oh where I’m s’posed to begin?

I’m building wings with riot, tested, gotta take for a spin

But they was pushing me to windowsill on needles and pins

You can bet that if I’m falling, I’d be doing a flip

I’d be increasing my speed, I hit the ground on my feet

If they were in my place, they’d hit the ground on they knees

Odds were 50−50, but I do what I please

I know I said a lot of things, at least I say what I mean

On the rooftops, sunlit surfaces, the closest we could get to flying

Swear I’m Icarus, rising, I melt this wax and I’m dying

They watched me fall and they smiled, I hit the ground and I crumpled

They saw me rise and they cried, these candles keeping me humble

Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior

Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands

Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior

Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands

Keystone tatted, mirror like to copy

Dungeons filled with the ugliest of impostors

Got the gumption, got the gall, It leaving me combusted

Thinking, don’t what they thinking, we was facing dozens

I’m at my vantage point, me and me on godly fusion

All these timelines so conjoined like labyrinths that cast illusions,

cast delusions

Captive is the minotaur inside, and how I pity him

We’re so, so alike, we’re so, so alike

If I left this island, would y’all wait for me?

Be safe for me?

Move carefully?

‘Less ye fare the same fate that was made for me

No paper trails above the trees, two pairs of wings for me and thee

I’m free, I’m free, I’m free, I’m free, as long as limbs will carry me

I come back with armies on your doorstep with heavenly archers

With such a swiftness, leave your floors swept

We’ve business to get to, you and I and the guillotine

Pulled my headsman from quarantine, we escorting those in power to the end of

regime

On the rooftops, sunlit surfaces, the closest we could get to flying

Swear I’m Icarus, rising, I melt this wax and I’m dying

They watched me fall and they smiled, I hit the ground and I crumpled

They saw me rise and they cried, these candles keeping me humble

Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior

Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands

Daedalus, my maker, precipice, my savior

Father stretch my hands, Minos poisoned lands
