Icarus

And I heard
With every emphasis you put, on every word
With every lesson that you taught but never learned
With every bill you had to pay with money I had earned
You say you’ve always felt the heat but never burned
In your nest
Where you gather all your things to head out west
Where you check if there’s still something in your chest
'Cause you think you really tried, you did your best
To convince yourself you’re good before you rest
Face the sun, face the sun
Face the sun and follow
You’ll be the one, be the one
Be the one, tomorrow
Please remember me
I was seventeen
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck and follow
In your home
Contemplating consequences all alone
Where you think of jumping fences but you’ve grown
And the things you think you have, no you don’t own
Held together like your wings that aren’t sewn
Face the sun, face the sun
Face the sun and follow
You’ll be the one, be the one
Be the one, tomorrow
Please remember me
I was seventeen
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck and follow
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck and follow
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck and follow
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck and follow
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck
Please remember me, I was seventeen
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck and follow
And follow
I was seventeen, I was seventeen
Break your neck, break your neck
Break your neck!
