I called you the sun
In the hopes that I would be Icarus.
Legendary and famous
And dead in a blaze of passion.
But you are not the sun,
Icarus a boy young and bold
This pilot's story told
Brave and true he flew
Straight through
Blood and fright
of flight or fight
But he flew too high
the enemy's guns blazed true
Icarus a boy young and bold
This pilot's story told
Brave and true he flew
Straight through
Blood and fright
of flight or fight
But he flew too high
the enemy's guns blazed true
Darling, dying Icarus
You were all I wanted.
I'm the moon, I'm the opposite
of all that you desired
I drift cold around the Earth
