ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "Icarus"

seems like you just
started noticing
how noticably bad things really are

and when you walked past this couple arguing
in a rolled up window
of a parked car

and all of that
gesticulated bitterness
and all of that

muffled yelling hell
its dark just starts wafting at you
like a big fury rat died

inside of that wall kinda smell

breathe like it's rolling like a cold front

thunder is thundering and lightening in tow
and your tiny little life gets
even smaller

as you heed the heaven's mighty show

and I don't mean heaven

like god-like
the animal in me knows very well
nature is our teacher, our leader, and our lover

and god is just another story that we tell

and you're trying not to grasp-not to start grasping

at straws -or sticks- or stones
just learn how to sit inside your sadness
even if you're sitting there alone


it's just like Icarus ascending
never intending to look back

nature's law and your tragic flaw
I find descending
flying into the arms of a Venus flytrap


guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops

guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
