Lyrics

Only Daedalus

Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this

The labyrinth that you made for me
You know I'm not impressed at all
You're good with your hands
But where is your soul?
You can chain whatever you want to the wall
Yet Icarus will fall
That boy will always fall

Under the street, there is the beach
If you wanna meet me there
I will take up all the concrete
You can wax these dashboard memories
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
You thread the shell to reveal the past
Lured by honey to the other side
And then you die

You can't invent my love
And you can't hide me away
Forget about your designs
'Cause there's no hope
The cursed way guilt feels
That's the way you look at me
The world is not your wheel
The world is not your wheel

Under the street, there is the beach
If you wanna meet me there
I will take up all the concrete
You can wax these dashboard memories
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
You thread the shell to reveal the past
Lured by honey to the other side
And then you die

And then you die
Don't get too high (don't get too high)
On your daddy's supply

Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this (boy, will always fall)
Always fall

Always fall

Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
Only Daedalus coulda thought of this
