Viewing lyrics for Icarus - Cemetery Poet by Cemetery Poet.

(coming up out of the water).............
Is it true
when you crash at the bottom,
the only way to go is up?
The smoke from my re-entry
is choking the way out.
Is there another way to go
that i'm too afraid to see?
"Just listen to your heart", you say,
But can you teach me what that means.
I'm tired of starting over
so alone in my own mind.
I fled the institutions that failed me so many times.
You say, "You can't get away , cause you're running from yourself .
You always fly to high then fall when
your wings melt."

Love, sorrow and hate,
oh how quickly they rotate.
My hearts the chamber in this
loaded gun, the trigger pulls
me till the hammer hits one.
Bi-polar roulette,...never knowing
what you'll get.
The odds are slim and still you place your bet, but you fall from the sky without a safety net.

Falling helpless,....but you still believe ...now don't stop beating your worn out,
melted wings.

I'm not trying to bring you down,
I don't want to go, but, i shouldn't stay.
There's a wall we all hide behind,..
it keeps us safe and it keeps us sane.
And i won't lay blame, if you won't lay blame, I'l think of you fondly if you'll do the same.
We'll just part our ways , go the way we came,...Just give me some time and let me try again.

I can't promise, I won't fall like i did before,..that you won't find me washed up on your shore...

Over land and over sea,..
above the clouds I can be free.
You can't stop the flight, you can't stop the fall, ...can't still my heart when I
hear the call to fly....

I can feel the wind,
It calls to me again,
Can you show me how to win,...
how to win.

(taking flight again, wings flapping).....
.............................................................................................................(plunging back into the ocean again).
