Icarus

Icarus

By Lady J

Heart broke open like a hard coconut shell

Open hard like a stubborn bull's pride..

It pulses, pulses pink and red

Nothing you'd want to paint or capture in time

And no one mentioned how I'd change, but it goes without saying..
Once you venture too close to the sun

You're not sure if it'll do any good but you start praying..

You've got the spirit of Icarus all over your face

It's not easy to play dumb but sometimes it happens to be your default quick fix rule

And when it happens you're feeling dumber than you're pretending to be

This act isn't protecting you from anything

Who's the fool, who's the fool?

I don't know if I ever had creativity or if it fades with age

When everything seems to go wrong at once

Great earth becomes a landslide, you can't help but feel betrayed

So, now heart breaks open like a hard coconut shell

I know in my bones it wasn't the impact of gravity..

The heart doesn't have far to go
cuz inside the cage of tissue and rib lies a muscle that lavishes itself to depravity

With all the fragility in the air you think I'd be more careful

No one mentioned how I'd change but it goes without saying..
Once you venture too close to the sun

You're not sure if it'll do any good but you start praying..

You've got the spirit of Icarus all over your face
