I live a life of major ambitions, and over-zealous schemes Visions of taking ascendance once I grow a set of wings Pour my heart into these compositions no one ever sees But I'm hoping that one day I'll soar with those angelic beings In the sky, with my hands extended high, 'till I die Thoughts of jumping from this cliff, asking myself, "Will I fly?" Could I soar up to the clouds, overlook the oceans proud And be bestowed the golden crown; it's implausible, still I try Take a dive; try to float away where things're lookin' better Stretch a set of wings so far an eagle couldn't measure Fantasies I like to see as glimpses of the future I'm stuck in this state of numbness, no resistance from the stupor They call me the Second Icarus, fluorescence I yearn Legend says I'll try to fly up to the heavens and burn I couldn't help myself but try to touch Apollo's Chariot They say the dream can live today, but come tomorrow, bury it Dig a twelve-foot hole and throw it in; forget your virtue Drown pain with acceptance so that it would never hurt you But I tell them they don't understand I'm made to grip the Sun They say, You ain't the one, you descended from Daedalus' son And so I jump; taking lift-off from this broken cliff forever Don't know where I'm going, I'm just floatin' with the weather Let my spirit break its prison by condonin' its oppressor Me and Icarus are said to die in ocean mists together So there's nothing left for me but to pursue this legacy Let the wax erode away or take a Duel with Destiny Destiny's telling me I'll be, by fate, consumed in Seven Seas But in my side of the story, the fable grew and spread his wings Ahh.. Now I'm floating, floating so high I know I want to be here but I don't remember why Tryna touch the sun during a solstice in the sky It's said I share its fate in stone, as both our golden embers rise I stay condoning sinner's pride, my nature's grown to bigger size I aim to take the rule of kings, I claim the throne when Simba dies If the legend's right, I'll take the flame alone and hit the tides But I'm happy to greet my relative with death 'cus I ain't shy In the mean-time, I'm free of all these worries that I've yet to see Looking to Earth and all the birdies in the freshest breeze Higher than Everest peaks, the messiahs and shepherds see I'm comprised of angelic breed, and the choirs have yet to sing But let them voice their hymns, chant its endeavor And bless the sin tempted by serpents bearing amethyst sceptres I step close to accept its shining diamonds, emeralds and rubies The gem's intent is of Etna to Typhon, it'll consume me Swallow me like my cousin covered under sea floors For old time's sake, through tide's wake, we hover Greece shores There's no denyin' fate, so why wait, let thunder bring storm But never height break, let flight take, a couple feet more Let the wind favor my troubles, for a day, to grip the cosmos Climb up to the diving board, and take a dip tomorrow Not before my fingers meet to seize the flaming sun The very thing that brought me here, my wings're breaking from A flame, melting my wings the more I'm pressing skyward So close to the Sun, I exhale and the breath is fire They call me the Second Icarus, I said, I want it all Now part of me fades away, and I just hope that I don't fall |
