Ani Difranco - Icarus lyrics

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 it's rolling like a cold front

thunder is thundering and lightening in tow

and your tiny little life gets

even smaller

as you heed the heaven's mighty show

and I don't 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 you're trying not to grasp-not to start grasping

at straws -or sticks- or stones

just learn how to sit inside your sadness

even if you're sitting there alone

it's just like Icarus ascending

never intending to look back

nature's 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
