BASTILLE lyrics : "Icarus"

Ooh

Look who's digging their own grave

That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death


Look who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left?


Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup

You won't remember this

Living beyond your years

Acting out all the fears(?)
You feel it in your chest


Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you


Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
It's just begun


Standing on the cliff face
Highest foe you'll ever grace

It scares me half to death

Look up to the future

But it tells you nothing
So take another breath


Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you


Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feels to take off, ooooooooh

Icarus is flying towards an early grave

You put up your defenses when you leave

You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be


You're putting up your armor when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be


Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun

This is how it feels to take off, ooooooooh
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
