Lyrics Skysweeper - Icarus the Owl

Skysweeper

Hypocrisy: it’s all that I do
I cannot seem to part with it
You’ve sworn them in
They know every clue
Where there’s a will
A mountain stands in its way
I’m not allowed to fly, she stopped the engine
She’s not allowed to die until we’re finished
You said yourself you won’t give up
If you won’t mind I’d like to try
You were not buried from this
You were not
I cannot seem to leave you in pieces
We cease to be the morning after
Listen in, they’re pleading
To change your mind one more time
You were not buried from this
You were not
Open up your eyes
See me fall in love
And watch me feed her to the wolves
She’s taken up my time
It’s more precious than her warmth
It moves quicker than you want
There she goes (x2)
She’s strung up by her toes
You walked out on me
Listen close (The look on their faces)
(The worst of all places) Listen Close
(My heart won’t stop racing)
(I can do better now)
Hear them break (No more temptation)
(However, we phrase this) All of her bones
(We can’t be sated) How could this be?
(Bitter and falling out)
This is falling apart
You’re my unlucky star
I thought I was (x2) a millionaire
But we did not strike gold
We ended up alone
Like we were when we were young
And everything we touched turned golden
