Icarus Syndrome

Vestigial Remorse

Icarus Syndrome

In darkness I have flown
In darkness I have died
Dead and dreaming to a world
of absolutely nothing that I find

Am I really lost?
Am I really gone?
Choices have consequence
At least we know where ours are

// How can you grant every second chance?
// Where I have none
// How can you grant his every single chance?
// Could I steal just one?

If I’m really so much
Show me how I lose to this
Actions are louder than words
My darkness, I’ve endured

I am not so far away unless you make me so
Is there anything left to say
As I fly straight up into your day

Am I really lost?
Do I mean so much?
I’m only lost if you will not
Show me where I’ve won

(Chorus)

Darkness carries me to flight
Ever closer to your sun
Now I reach for light
Now I reach for sun

I want to touch the light
I want to be inside your star
I want everything to be just right
When my wings melt off under your sight

I am not so far away unless you make me so
Is there anything left to say
As I fly straight up into your day

(Chorus)
