Fly Away
I caught a feather of Icarus bane
Singed and worn with a magical shame
I thought flying high wasn’t really the sin
Never landing must have been it then?
Linear progression
Tunneled obsession
Failed succession
Solarial desperation
I blame him not for failed flight
Like a moth to flame he wanted light
My sun rises caressing my cheek
When she whispers my name
I thrill as she speaks
Back off brothers she is mine
I’m keeping this sun for all time
I am hers and she mine
I gift you this feather
Fly for another to find
Singed and worn with a magical shame
I thought flying high wasn’t really the sin
Never landing must have been it then?
Linear progression
Tunneled obsession
Failed succession
Solarial desperation
I blame him not for failed flight
Like a moth to flame he wanted light
My sun rises caressing my cheek
When she whispers my name
I thrill as she speaks
Back off brothers she is mine
I’m keeping this sun for all time
I am hers and she mine
I gift you this feather
Fly for another to find
