Icarus flew like a moth to the sun
We all know where that left him
And a cautionary tale should make me run
But I must like to keep myself guessing
I tried, I tried so damn hard
And I sighed, I sighed when I saw you from afar
I still wanted you
It was still raw and consuming
And it was like the world flaunted you
You were so close it was alluring
I wanted to touch your body
In a room swimming with gazes
Maybe it makes me an oddity
And my skin blazes
When you stare at me like you're starving
Well I'm starving, I'm dying, I'll expire right here
And these feelings are carving
Something in my soul or a brand that can sear
I am terrified because this is going to change me
Rearrange me
And its strange to me
I shouldn't let the happen
But I'm too far gone
For too long I've been trapped in
And you came along
And tripped the lock and freed something uncanny
And not even I can manage me
You were leaving
Please don't go
My breaths were heaving
I tried so hard to leave you alone
And alone is so very hard now
And I'm selfish so just hold me one more time now
So I call your name, your name, your name
And you turn around and I can see your face
And do you hate me, hate me, hate me?
And I want you, I still want you, how long is this wanting going to last?
Because I want you so bad it catches in my throat and I choke and I gasp
I can't breathe, can't breathe, can't breathe
Because I need, I need, I need
Your hands on my skin
Your body to pin
Me in place
your breath fanning across my face
Your hands in my hair
And I don't care
I don't want to think, or formulate, or defend
I just want to lay it all down, submit, unbend
I am Icarus and my wings have melted away
As I fall through the night, I want to whisper...please stay.
