LYRICS:

Wax Wings

Frail wings hold me back,
Fly close to the sun,
An Icarus complex, 
Craving for ascension, ambition,
Draw me to the light, 

Foiled by my ambition, it keeps me awake,
Foiled by my ambition, my life is at stake,

A sea of death below me, let me ascend, 
Anticipation of falling, cathexis,

Has the summit become out of my reach?
I'm nearing my breaking point, 
Can I get too close to the sun?
I want to live like the elevated,

Fuck, 
I never doubted myself,
Now I'm on the fucking edge,
The edge of the summit, 
Vanished like a dream,

Dare to fly close to the sun, 
Too close and I'll burn,
This hubris will be the death of me,

[Chorus]

Carry me on wax wings,
Draw me to the light,
Fly close to the sun,
An Icarus complex, 
Craving for ascension, ambition,

Frail wings made of wax,
I am Icarus, 
Vanity is the fucking death of me, 
Wax wings always melt, I am Icarus.
