Jericho - Icarus Lyrics

Feel the heat upon your skin
Wanna be Icarus so bad you'd commit any sort of sin
Feel the burn on your wings from the headlights of the car
You left parked in my garage
You thought you'd fly so far but it's a

Free fall
As you plunge into the ocean
And you can't recall
Anything beyond going through the motions

And you're out of your depths as you drown in a kiddie pool
Cause no one ever taught you how to swim

I want to burn
I want to burn
I want to melt the flesh right off my bones
Till I'm naught but ash and dust alone
I wanna rise up like a phoenix reborn
But I can't
So I'll just burn

You are a victim of your very own design
You knew exactly what you were getting into when you took the climb
But mountains can fall and bridges can burn
And I was never good at waiting for my turn

But it's a

Free fall
As you plunge into the ocean
And you can't recall
Anything beyond going through the motions

And you're out of your mind as you plummet wings on fire
Cause no one ever taught you how to fly

I want to burn
I want to burn
I want to melt the flesh right off my bones
Till I'm naught but ash and dust alone
I wanna rise up like a phoenix reborn
But I can't
So I'll just burn

You're more of a Joan of Arc than anything else
They'd burn you at the stake if they ever would find out
Do you think that Joan cried as she looked up at the sky
Begging God to let her die
(Just to let her die)

But it's a free fall
You're gonna free fall

Cause you're out of excuses
And they'll all learn what the truth is
Cause no one ever taught you how to lie

I want to burn
I want to burn
I want to melt the flesh right off my bones
Till I'm naught but ash and dust alone
I wanna rise up like a phoenix reborn
But I can't
So I'll just burn
