Feathers & Wax

Am I allowed here? Am I allowed to go anywhere?

Feel like a shadow in the cave, am I a doll or a puppeteer?

And where is my mind? Where am I on the divided line?

Or in the analogy of the sun, illumination of any kind

Don't want any ol' blindfold

Don't wanna be controlled

Don't want any old fool's gold

Who would ever wanna be

Pigeonholed?

You're allowed here, you're allowed to go anywhere

Feel like you're a shape on the wall, you're not a doll or a puppeteer

And why is your mind on the ancient divided line?

Or on the analogy of the sun, illumination of any kind

'Cause I don't want any ol' blindfold

Don't wanna be controlled

Don't want any old fool's gold

And I don't ever wanna be

Stuck in the dark, blind to my reality

Who would ever wanna be

Out of luck in the trench of a post-truth society?

A stone throw, let's go

I don't wanna stay here

Anybody else care

To come with me on a flight close to the sun?

Like Icarus' Daedalus

Father your own failures

Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run

I don't wanna stay here

Wouldn't anybody else here care

To come with me on a flight close to the sun?

Just like Icarus' Daedalus

You gotta father your own failures

Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run

Go find yourself now

Find your own shelf now

Go find yourself now

Find your own shelf now

Don't want any ol' blindfold

Don't wanna be controlled

Don't want any old fool's gold

Who would ever wanna be

Pigeonholed?

I don't wanna stay here

Wouldn't anybody else here care

To come with me on a flight close to the sun?

Just like Icarus' Daedalus

You gotta father your own failures

Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run

To be the pride of a nation

Gotta further your education

'Cause you don't wanna be told how to be bold

Just like Icarus' Daedalus

You gotta father your own failures

Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run

Or in the analogy of the sun, illumination of any kind
