Lyrics Jason Webley

Jason Webley

Icarus

I wake up every morning to the sound of motors roaring

they are drowning out the voicesin my head

at night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking but I can't recall a single thing they said

I see their lips move clearly I feel their presence near me

but each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks

I push I strain I wrestle with my brain and then a voice from somewhere whispers to relax.

I'll say a word for sickness

she is my favorite mistress

yes she knows my body like no other can

my flesh and spirit keep colliding when her fingers are inside me

oh my god oh my god, lady

I'm your man

Fever flu malaria come near me

do not spare me

I just long to spend another night under attack

I wretch, I shake, I cry until I break

and then I feel something release and I relax

I've banged my head for days against the walls inside this maze

I've never been to good at this damn kind of thing

I'm in here with my father I'm just pacing but he's smarter

he's been bulding a fantastic set of wings

and like that I'm up and flying

with the labrynth behind me

but I go too high

the sun is melting through the wax

it burns it hurts I tumble to the earth and as I fall I feel myself relax.

Am I letting go? I think I'm letting go.

I must be letting go.

I've got to let it go. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

I wake up every morning

to the sound of motors roaring

they are drowning out the voices in my head

at night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking but I can't recall a single thing they said

I see their lips move clearly I feel their presence near me

but each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks

I push I strain I wrestle with my brain I wretch, I shake, I cry until I break

it burns it hurts I tumble to the earth and as I fall I feel myself relax.
