Lyrics Icarus - Ani DiFranco

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 its rolling like a cold front
Thunder is thundering and lightening in tow
And your tiny little life gets
Even smaller
As you heed the heavens mighty show
And I dont 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 youre trying not to grasp-not to start grasping
At straws -or sticks- or stones
Just learn how to sit inside your sadness
Even if youre sitting there alone
Its just like icarus ascending
Never intending to look back
Natures 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
