Sweet Icarus (New Gothic Grunge Song)

The story of Icarus was always sad to me. But there is a beauty in sadness too. In the interest of full disclosure, I used AI to make this. The words are mine. Lyrics The frame was set And feather filled The promise of freedom Increased the skill Stay by me Don't rise too high But he kept looking up Drawn like a moth to the light And the higher he climbed The smaller that warning grew One more beat of his heart And he was out of view Too close, too close Icarus, I know Too high, too high Still, he would go (Wax on his wings) So close to the glow Too close, too close And down he goes (Down, down) (Sweet Icarus) (Down) The wax ran fast Down over his hands Every feather in a hurry To ruin his plans The sea unrelenting as rock Blue, Cold and Hard Sweet Icarus fell His beautiful feathers charred And the higher he climbed The smaller that warning grew One more beat of his heart And he was out of view Too close, too close Icarus, I know Too high, too high Still, he would go (Wax on his wings) So close to the glow Too close, too close And down he goes Now the lesson sits there Like a wound that never heals Not every open sky Will bend to your will If I could call him back I'd slow those shaking hands But the kid in him kept running And he let loose his mortal bands Too close, too close Icarus, I know Too high, too high Still, he would go (Wax on his wings) So close to the glow Too close, too close And down he goes (Down, down) (Sweet Icarus) (Down)
