Icarus

Lyrics: William Patrick Van Alstine/Timothy William Halperin Music: William Patrick Van Alstine/Timothy William Halperin Help me remember the look of the sun in your eyes Stare down the relics if only the four winds would rise I gave you oceans, I gave you oceans in my mind But I drank them down when the light traded places with fire  Show me the places they warned us about  Couldn’t blame them the day I found out Where the promise would lead me  Will it deceive me? Hope I don’t find out Are we only sentinels?  Are we ever coming home? At times I wonder Help me understand Is that all we get? Nowhere to land Just flying too close to the sun Followed a notion that lifted us up from the ground New revelation, a sign we could make it somehow No way to reason, only the beacons flashing red Swallow your instinct, dismiss all the tales in your head Show me the places they warned us about  Couldn’t blame them the day I found out Where the promise would lead me  Will it deceive me? Hope I don’t find out Are we only sentinels?  Are we ever coming home? At times I wonder Help me understand Is that all we get? Nowhere to land Just flying too close to the sun
