Icarus (Dan's Bedroom Demo)

[Intro]

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]

"Look who's digging their own grave"

That is what they all say

"You'll drink yourself to death"

Now who makes their own bed

Lies right down within it

And what will you have left?

Out on the front doorstep

Drinking from a paper cup

You won't remember this

Living beyond your years

Acting out all their fears

You feel it in your chest

[Pre-Chorus]

Your hands protect the flames

From the wild winds around you

[Chorus]

Icarus is flying too close to the sun

And Icarus's life, it has only just begun

Just begun

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

Standing on the cliff face

Highest fall you'll ever grace

It scares me half to death

Look into the future

But it tells you nothing

So take another breath

[Pre-Chorus]

Your hands protect the flames

From the wild winds around you

[Chorus]

Icarus is flying too close to the sun

And Icarus's life, it has only just begun

This is how it feels to take a fall

Icarus, you're falling towards an early grave

[Bridge]

You put up your defences when you leave

And you leave because you're certain of who you want to be

You're putting up your armour when you leave

And you leave because you're certain of what you want to be, oh

[Chorus]

Icarus is flying too close to the sun

And Icarus's life, it has only just begun

And this is how it feels to take a fall

Icarus, your life, it has only just begun

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
