I fashioned wings built on memories
Of a taste of your design
All I needed was an escape
From myself, from my mind
This labyrinth of life
Has trapped me in
And the freedom I strive for
Lies within your skin
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden thread
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty with such a dreadful spread
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden string
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty yet such a bitter thing
I fly with you
And sink to your depths/deaths
Arise in the siren's song
With shallow breaths
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden thread
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty with such a dreadful spread
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden string
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty yet such a bitter thing
My intention was ascension
Through your warm skin
But brought down by my burden/your beauty
I will drown in sin
All of you, you are my Sun
I will find solace in anyone
With scarlet lips and pale hips
The wind beneath my wings is lust
But in my haste to escape from this place
I have abandoned all of my grace
